Urgh, writers block hit me hard, we'll see how this goes.
"Tom! How are you here?" Harry asked full of amazement
Harry watched as the smile spread across Tom's face before he answered.
"The ring my boy, the ring! Isn't it marvelous?" Tom stated with his smile growing wide, "but the ring is a story for a different day, as I said before, I suppose you have some questions,"
"Well yes Tom, first and foremost, how did you die?" Harry asked realizing that the Tom he knew wasn't in front of him, just some sort of ghost.
"That my dear boy is an excellent question, one I wish I had the answer to," Tom replied without shame, "I suppose it is up to you to find that piece of information out, but for now I bid you ado for young Ginevra appears to be waking up, remember I will always be here for you, even if I've already taken my next great adventure,"
With these words Tom disappeared waving goodbye to Harry and the yawing Ginny.
"Where am I?" Ginny asked Harry with a yawn, wondering why she wasn't in her bed.
Harry couldn't help but smile at his girlfriend, "We're in the common room love, you fell asleep while we were talking,"
"I'm so sorry Harry," Ginny whispered when she realized she fell asleep on him.
"It's no problem, I just like to be with you," Harry replied kissing her forehead, "Goodnight, I'll see you at breakfast."
At that Harry walked up the stairs to the boy's dorm leaving Ginny behind, smiling.

"Three cheers for my son, Harry Potter, the Triwizard Champion!" James shouted as Harry stepped off the train at Platform 9 ¾.
To say that Harry was embarrassed would be an understatement, but he understood that his father did it because he was proud of him, well that and James wanted to embarrass his son a little.
"Great job Pup, I knew you had it in you," Sirius said with a grin, "I taught you well you know,"
"You know my son takes after me you old mutt," James told Sirius in mock anger.
Harry couldn't help but smile at this turn of events; he loved his father and his godfather. The Marauders (plus Lily) were the keystones in his life, each providing something important to him. From his mother he got his compassion and thirst for knowledge, from his father his sense of humor and bravery, from Sirius Harry got his mindset that "If a plan is stupid and it works, then it's not stupid,", from Remus Harry learned to be humble, and from Peter Harry got, well, Harry wasn't exactly sure of what he got from Peter, but he was sure it was something.
As Harry thought about this Ginny started to sneak up behind him. Ginny gave the signal for everyone to keep quiet about it.
"Ah, the Potter Curse," Sirius said with a smile, James could only laugh, while Remus was smiling, and Lily was scratching her head.
"Excuse me boys, but I think I may be missing something? What exactly is this "Potter Curse"?" Lily asked James and Sirius.
"Well Lily, for as long as there have been redheads, Potters have been falling in love with redheads. It's just a fact of life; I told my father it couldn't be true and look where we are now," James explained with a smile, "And I believe our son is the next victim of the curse,"
As soon as Harry heard this he turned around, just in time to see Ginny jumping at him.
"Ginevera Molly Weasley! That is no way for a lady to behave in public!" The group heard Molly shout.
"Hello there Mrs. Weasley, good to see you again," Harry said with a small grin.
"Splendid to see you as well Harry, but please do call me Molly," Molly said while pulling Harry in for a bone crushing hug. "By the way Lily, we were right, it was three years, give or take a few months,"
Harry couldn't help but wonder about this statement, what was she talking about that could take three years?
"It's nothing Harry dear," Lily said to her son before he could even open his mouth.
"How does she do that?" Sirius asked James in a whisper.
James couldn't help but chuckle before he replied; "Only Merlin knows Padfoot, only Merlin,"

Harry,
I'll start this by saying I miss you. I know it's only been a week but it feels much longer, I think that might be because we see each other every day at Hogwarts. I hate to say it but I can't wait till summer is over because I can't wait to see you everyday again. I'm sure Ron misses Hermione the same way I miss you (though he'd never admit).
I've haven't been up to much lately. Just flying around with Ron and the Twins for the most part, I really want to play quidditch next year, but we will see what happens with that. I think you should come over for Sunday dinner this week (if it's okay with your parents that is), Bill is going to be there, and he's bringing his latest girlfriend home to. Charlie is coming down for Romania for a few weeks so you'll even be able to meet him.
I'm sorry, this might seem like I'm rambling, it's just that I've never really been a letter writer before. Anyway I hope you'll be able to come over for dinner next Sunday but reply either way because I can't wait to hear from you.
Love,
Ginny
Harry smiled after reading this letter, he couldn't wait to ask his parents if you could go over to the Weasley's, not that he thought they wouldn't say yes, the big Potter family dinners were always on Saturday so there wouldn't be any conflict there. That being said he rushed out his bedroom door to ask his parents.
So how was it? I've been trying to write this chapter for a long time. I went back a reread most of the books just so I could get a better idea of how I want the characters to act and how they would act in every situation. As always I will be a review whore and ask for them.
