Chapter 12- Beautiful Day

Ginny woke up late the next morning, tired from all of the events from the past few days. She turned towards the space beside her and noticed it was empty. She sat up and looked around the room, but Harry was not there. After getting dressed, Ginny walked out into the spacious kitchen of her new home. The first thing she saw was Harry sitting at the kitchen table eating his breakfast.

"Good morning sleepy head," he said. "Did you sleep alright?"

"Yeah I did. I was just really tired that's all."

He smiled at her and gestured for her to sit down. He walked over to the stove and scooped out some breakfast for her. Ginny began eating as soon as he set it down.

"Hungry?" he asked.

"Yeah starving actually," Ginny replied.

"That's good I made plenty."

He smiled as he watched her eat.

"Since when did you know how to cook so well?" she asked Harry.

"Well Hermione and your mom taught me a few tricks. It's not as hard as it looks."

"I guess you'll have to teach me then."

"I guess I will."

After Ginny finished eating and all the dishes were done, they both moved out into the Living room.

"So what are your plans for today?" asked Ginny.

"My plans are whatever you would like to do," Harry replied.

"Ok, then what are we going to do?"

"Would you like to go for a swim?" he asked.

"A swim? Where?"

He laughed warmly.

"Go get your things. I know a nice, secluded place were we can go."

Ginny went into her room, grabbed a few things, stuffed them in a bag and went to wait by the front door. It took Harry only a few moments to hunt down his things and they were off. Harry took Ginny's hand and led her down the street until there were no houses in sight. At the end of the road he held Ginny tightly and spun around. Ginny clung to Harry for dear life, as she still did not like to disapparate. After the dizzying sensation was over, Ginny opened her eyes.

A beautiful beach was before her. It was like no other beach Ginny had ever seen. The water was a clear blue and the sand a rich, warm brown. Waves rolled gently onto the sand where turtles and sea gulls walked.

"It's beautiful," said Ginny. "How did you ever find this place?"

"Ron told me about it. Him and Hermione came here once. They said it was beautiful and I thought you might like it."

"I do. It's beautiful."

They spent most of the day swimming and walking along the beach. Around noon, Ron and Hermione joined them and they had a picnic with all the food Hermione packed. When it got dark out, Harry took out his wand and lit a blazing fire. They laughed and told stories around the fire until Ginny and Hermione were almost asleep. Ginny layed her head against Harry's shoulders and closed her eyes. She could still see the campfire in front of her. It kept her from falling asleep completely. When it was time to go, Harry shook Ginny gently. She opened her eyes and got up. Harry held her close and spun on the spot once more. By the time they reached their house, Ginny had fallen asleep in Harry's arms. Harry carried her in the house and placed her gently on the bed. He changed out of his clothed and slipped in beside her.
