Chapter 14.

The next day was Saturday and it was also a Hogsmeade weekend. The sun was shining when Ginny woke up, she looked out the window at the Hogwarts grounds, they were calm and beautiful the sun was flooding the grounds and Ginny for the first time in days smiled. She got dressed and walked down the stairs in the common room where she was met by Harry, Ron and Hermione. Ginny looked at Harry for a moment before walking over to him. In her eyes he looked older than he had a few days ago however,

he still looked like the Harry Potter that Ginny had fallen in love with. Ginny snuck up behind Harry and grabbed around his waist. Harry jumped and turned around to see Ginny laughing and smiling at him.

"Good morning Mr. Potter." Ginny said.

"Gin, hey you, how are you?" Harry said.

"I'm really good today." Ginny said smiling still.

"Are you sure?" Hermione said.

"Yes 'Mione, I am fine, you do not have to worry about me." Ginny said.

Harry put his arm around Ginny and the 4 of them walked down to breakfast. They sat and ate quickly so that they could get into Hogsmeade and enjoy their day in the village. After breakfast they went through the security checks and walked down into Hogsmeade it was a lovely walk down to the village and one that Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny had all grown to love Harry and Ginny fell behind Hermione and Ron as they were walking, Ron had grabbed Hermione's hand and they were talking about something.

"Look at them, why did it take them so long to get together, they're made for each other." Ginny said as she smiled at Harry.
"Well, yeah but true love never runs smooth does it. Look at us." Harry said.

"What do you mean?" Ginny said.

"Well, we were just getting used to the fact we were going to be parents and then it was taken away from us." Harry said.

"I understand how you're feeling, I feel the same but it's happened surely we shouldn't dwell on it. Let's just enjoy the day look it's beautiful." Ginny said.

"Okay then, I love you." Harry said as he kissed her on the cheek.

"I love you too Harry, now lets catch up." Ginny said.

Harry grabbed her hand and they ran so they could catch up with Hermione and Ron who had gotten quite a ways in front of Harry and Ginny. Once they had caught up with them they carried on walking until they reached Hogsmeade. Once they had got into the village they went straight to the Three Broomsticks for a butterbeer. They walked in and sat down on a table in the corner of the pub. Hermione got the drinks while the others sat down. Hermione came over with the drinks and sat down next to Ron. They had just started talking when the door opened and into the pub stepped Bill and Fleur. Harry looked at Ginny and spoke,

"What do you think they're doing here? He's not gonna punch me again is he?" He said.

"I dunno, he can't you haven't done anything wrong have you?" Ginny said as she waved at Bill and Fleur.

Bill and Fleur waved back and walked over to the table they were sat at.
"Hey guys." Bill said.

"Hi Bill, we weren't expecting to see you here." Ginny said.

"Well we didn't want to go to Diagon Alley, so we came shopping here instead. We were shopping for the baby's room it's coming on so well." Bill said.
Fleur hit him on his arm and by the look of it it was a hard slap.

"Ow, what was that…", Bill said before he realised, "Oh Harry, Ginny I am so sorry I should have thought, how's my little sis doing then?" he said as he put his arm around Ginny.

"Everything is fine Bill, don't worry, about me." Ginny said.

She was actually kinda glad that Bill was there for her, she felt his comforting arm around her and for the third time in the day she felt happier than she had in a long time. Bill let go of Ginny and continued speaking.
"Well that is good to hear, well can we sit and have a drink with you?" Bill said.

"Sure, go on ahead, it's fine." Harry said.

Fleur sat down while Bill went to get the drinks; Fleur was already showing and was positively glowing in Ginny's opinion. Ginny looked at her wishing that it was her in that position, although she wasn't telling Harry she was still mourning the loss of their baby. Ginny managed to smile her way through the conversation but was very thankful when Harry noticing the time and how uncomfortable Ginny was becoming said that they should be going because they had a lot of things that they needed to do. They said their goodbyes and left the pub.

"Thanks Harry." Ginny said as she grabbed Harry's hand.
"What for?" Ron said behind her.
"Well, it wasn't the best situation for Ginny to be in was it Ron. Not with Fleur being pregnant." Hermione said.

"Oh yeah that's a good point." Ron said.

"Anyway, where are we going?" Harry said.
Everyone started talking at the same time, Harry just about manage to decipher that Ginny wanted to go to Honeydukes, Hermione wanted to go to Scrivenshaft's Quill Shop so she could get a new quill and Ron wanted to go to Zonko's. They began at Honeydukes where Ginny bought a few bars of the finest Honeydukes chocolate.
"Madame Pomfrey gave me the money, she says I needed it after what happened." Ginny said to Harry as she paid for the chocolate. Harry also came out of Honeydukes with his moneybag slightly lighter, he had bought some chocolate and a few other sweets. When they got out Ginny wasn't sure whether it was just because of her situation or whether because there was an increase in pregnancies and births but it seemed that everywhere she looked there was a couple cooing over a new baby, it was hard to deal with but with Harry stood next to her holding her hand she was comforted. The next stop was the quill shop where Hermione took about half an hour to choose the right quill for herself. Once Hermione finally came out they walked to Zonko's, once they had finished in their Harry and Ron's moneybags were quite lighter than before, Ron's more than Harry's, Harry wasn't really in the mood for jokes.

Once everyone had finished shopping they walked back to Hogwarts.

"Hey, listen Harry, really thank you for getting us out of the Three Broomsticks, Bill was driving me mad." Ginny said.

"It's okay gin, to be honest I didn't feel like hanging around all day and listening to those two go on about the baby. It still hurts so much." Harry said.

When they got back to Hogwarts they all walked back to the common room. After putting their purchases in their rooms they took up their usual seats in the common room. Hermione got on with her homework, as did rather unusually Ron. Harry and Ginny sat on the couch talking until Hermione gently reminded Harry that he also had homework that he should be getting on with, Harry admitted defeat and got on with the work. By dinnertime they had all finished their work and were able to go down to the Great Hall knowing that they could relax after dinner and not worry about work for the rest of the evening. Dinner was a quiet affair they were all pretty hungry after walking around Hogsmeade. When they had all finished they walked back to the common room together.
"Ginny, there's something I wanna show you." Harry said as he took her by the hand and led her upstairs to the boy's dorm. After opening the door to check there was no one in there he led her in and over to the biggest window in the room.
"Sit on the windowsill I have something I want to show you." Harry said.
Harry opened the window and sat down next to Ginny.
"Do you see that bunch of stars over there that looked like the letter w? That's Cassiopeia, I used to see it at the Dursley's from my bedroom, when I got here it was the first Constellation I saw, well I want it to be our constellation so we can look at it and think of each other. And do you see the top star? That's for the baby okay, so we don't ever forget it." Harry said.
"Oh Harry, it's beautiful, I love it." Ginny said as she kissed Harry.
Ginny sat staring at Cassiopeia as Harry put his arm around her, after everything that had happened both Harry and Ginny felt that there relationship was stronger than ever and in a way they were both grateful for the fact. At 11.30 Ginny went to bed leaving Harry staring up at the stars pondering his life, Ron and the other boys came up at midnight and they all went to bed.
