29- Come Home

Harry sighed as a familiar flowery scent filled his senses

"Do you know how long I have been looking for you?"

"Well If I know you, from the moment you realised that I wasn't coming back to Hogwarts?"

"Yep! Why did you go? Everyone's worried about you!" Ginny scolded him.

"I just can't deal with this, I'm just going to see everyone I've…"

"You haven't killed anyone Harry! You've given people life! A second chance! Now they can live their lives without the fear that either them or their families would get killed tomorrow!" Ginny snapped at him

"I just keep seeing everyone who is now dead ! They follow me everywhere in my waking hours, in my sleeping hours! They will not leave me alone! Maybe if I stay away for a bit then they will disappear" Harry shouted.

"And what about Ron and Hermione? After everything they've been through - how do you think they will react when they discover that you are not coming back?" Ginny challenged "I have no idea what you three were off doing but I know that it be a poor thank you to desert them after everything they've done for you Harry!"

"They have each other now!"

"So?"

"Ginny… I just can't do this - I need to … I don't even know what I need to do now!"

"What about me - or do you not care for me anymore?"

"Don't even say that Ginny - you know I care … deeply for you"

"Then don't do this, come home with me"

"Hogwarts? Because that's the only place that I have ever felt at home - any I cannot go there - I refuse to"

"Don't you dare say that - The Burrow is just as much home for you as it is for me, Mum's going spare, she's already lost a son because of this war, Harry I'm begging you don't be the reason for her lose another one" Ginny implored.

Panic rose in Harry "Does that mean you only think of me as a brother"

"Ron thinks of you like a brother"

"And you?" Harry prompted

"Why don't you come home with me and find out" Ginny whispered smiling slightly.

"I'm scared Gin"

"Everyone who we have lost because of this war would not want you to feel the rest of your life feeling guilty Harry" Harry looked the other way in response making Ginny pull his face toward her making sure he was looking into her eyes "I know they wouldn't, Harry they would want you to live your life to the fullest it could be - live a life they gave up, don't waste their sacrifice - because you would be dishonouring their memory if you walk away from the people who love you."

She continued "Please, Just come home, don't leave me"

Before she could help herself she started to burst into tears making Harry pull her into him in a tight hug.

"Gin I won't leave you again , I can't do that to you - I'll come home"
