"Come on Ginny" Harry called up the stairs that led to the girl's dorm, he kept grumbling about 'stupid founders' and their 'stupid, unfair rules' about stairs.
"I will be ready in a minute Harry, what's the rush?" came Ginny's voice from one of the doors on the stairs that Harry found so annoying.
Harry hesitated for a moment, he had realised during the last visit to Hogsmeade that their was private rooms in the back for couples and he immediately booked one for him and Ginny.
It was a surprise and they needed to be on time to get one of the private rooms so he had to make sure they got there on time.
"It's just that if we don't go soon then it's going to be so crowded" he lied but was glad that Ginny excepted it.
"Fine I will hurry but don't be so impatient" she said, Harry could feel her rolling her eyes.
It was the first time that they were going to Hogsmeade on their own and not with friends joining them so Harry wanted it to be like a date since they haven't had a real one yet.
He hoped that Ginny would like it, he had the private room ready and got some flowers for the table.
He heard a bang and looked up to see Ginny running down the steps, he smiled at how lovely she looked as she stopped in front of him.
"Ready you impatient git" she said grinning, Harry chuckled as he leaned down to kiss her.
"Let's go then" he said as he took her hand in his and walked out of the common room and down the Staircase.
Outside, the sun was shining brightly as spring filled the air, they walked down the path and were soon in Hogsmeade.
They walked through Hogsmeade until they saw the Shrieking Shack, Harry stopped and looked at it sadly.
"Harry, Sirius is going to be fine" Ginny said but Harry shook his head.
"You don't know that, what if he is sent back to Azkaban?" he asked sadly, his eyes never leaving the building.
"We both know that he hasn't done anything wrong, you will see him soon" said Ginny, trying to comfort him.
He sighed but smiled warmly at her "your right, come on, let's go to the Three Broomsticks" he said.
When they were in the Three Broomsticks, Ginny was confused as Harry led her through a door instead of one of the booths.
"Harry what's..." she asked but stopped when she saw a table with flowers in the centre, she looked up at him and saw him grinning.
"Harry it's lovely" she said leaning up to kiss him, he took her hand and took her to the table.
He pulled out a chair for her and sat on the opposite side "our first date, I wanted it to be a surprise" he said.
Ginny smiled as she sat down "it was, your so sweet" she said causing him to smile smugly which made her giggle.
They ordered some butterbeer and sandwiches as they talked about the tasks and how the next one must be very hard.
Soon they began talking about the bond and the powers "during the second task, you got the Little Monsters to leave, how did you do that?" Ginny asked.
"I got the Nibblers to go by just telling them to, it was very strange" said Harry purposely highlighting the word 'Nibblers'.
"I can't do that, so I can command objects to do things and you can command living things to do what you want like with the Little Monsters" she said.
Harry rolled his eyes but smiled "Yes like that, I can't command objects like you so it must be" he said.
Ginny thought for a moment "the voice told me that 'the prophesy was split in to two; light and dark, happy and sad, good and bad or in this case, girl and boy' which might explain how we get powers at different times" she said.
Realisation dawned on Harry "so as 'the boy' I would get my powers from dark, sad and bad which is why I managed to talk to you that week when you were at the Burrow because I was sad, also I got that strength at the Yule Ball when I felt angry which is related to dark, therefore during the second task I found that I could command those things because something bad was happening to you and Fleur and I needed to help" he said surprised.
Ginny beamed at him, he was so smart when he tried which wasn't a lot but he always has his moments.
"Yes and as 'the girl' my power comes from light, happy and good which explains why I could control your firebolt, I wanted to safe you which I guess is related to good and when I talked to the dragon, it was because I didn't want to hurt it which is also good, when I managed to throw off the curse and throw back Mad Eye I was thinking about you hurting your knee and was very happy that you were ok, also in the shrieking shack when I broke the leg locker curse all I could think of was helping you and I didn't care about anything else when I stood in front of you which I guess is seen as light" she said happily.
"So basically, to control our powers and maybe unlock more, we have to control our emotions and only feel what we would need to but where could we train that?" he wondered.
"I know, the Room of Requirements, it is on the seventh floor and would be perfect" said Ginny, she had never heard about the room before but her power of knowing has never let her down before.
"That is brilliant, we can look for the room during the next half term when the castle isn't as crowded" said Harry.
They continued to talk and was soon on the subject of Ron and Hermione, Harry always kept seeing Ron look at Hermione during class with a dazed expression without her knowing and Ginny kept seeing the same with Hermione.
They both looked up when the door burst open and a man who worked at the Three Broomsticks stood, panting, behind him, screaming could be heard.
"You need to get out of here quick, Death Eaters are destroying everything, go back to school" he said in a rush.
They quickly stood up and ran out of the pub, Harry grabbed Ginny's hand and ran towards the castle.
All that was going through his mind was to get Ginny out of danger as he continued to run but she quickly stopped.
"Ginny come on" he said pulling her to the castle but she hardly moved, he looked back at what she was looking at and his eyes went wide.
Seamus Finnigan and Lavender Brown were trapped by four Death Eaters, Seamus was standing in front of Lavender and pointed his wand out but there were to many.
Before Harry could even blink, Ginny wrenched her hand free and ran towards them as she took her wand out of her pocket.
"Ginny no!" Harry said but was too late, she hit one of them with a stunner before they all turned and pointed their wands at her.
While they were distracted, Seamus pushed Lavender out of the way and began casting spells as well.
Harry quickly took out his wand as he ran to help them but when he reached them, all four of the Death Eaters were unconscious.
"Go back to the castle" he told Ginny before he ran further into the village, Ginny huffed, like she was going to do that when people needed help.
She ran into the village as well and began to put out fires, after a few minutes, she was joined by Seamus, Lavender, Colin and Terry Boot as they helped her put the fires out.
Colin's eyes widened as he heard screaming and looked up to see some third years in a burning shop and heard Taylor's voice.
He got everyone's attention and they all quickly ran to that building next, smoke filled the air as water shot from their wands.
After a moment, it was out and Terry broke the door down, about five third years ran out and Ginny gasped when she saw Taylor.
She said a burn mark on her arm and was nearly all black from the smoke and suite, she was coughing madly.
The third years looked around, scared, Ginny looked at Seamus "go to the castle and take the younger years with you, make sure Taylor goes straight to the Hospital Wing" she said and Seamus nodded before hurrying to the castle with the third years.
"Lavender, you are the best at stunning charms, go with them and be careful if there is any Death Eaters, if a lot come for you all then don't hesitate, immediately send sparks up and we will come and help you" she said, Lavender nodded and ran with Seamus.
"Colin, Terry, you two continue to put out the fires and I will check to see if there is anyone still in the village who are trapped by Death Eaters" she said surprised by how strong her voice seemed.
Colin nodded and ran to the nearest burning fire "are you sure you don't want me to come with you, just incase you run into a lot of Death Eaters?" he asked but Ginny shook her head.
"It's fine, I will be able to handle it, Colin will need you though" she said, Terry nodded before running to help Colin.
Ginny tried to control her emotions so she just felt happy and good as she ran further into the village, it was hard to do when buildings were burning around you and you could hear screaming.
She ran past Zonko's and saw about twenty Death Eaters fighting about five students from Hogwarts.
She ran to them and began to help, casting stunners wherever she could and dodging the curses that flew past her.
"Protego!" she shouted as she aimed her wand at a fifth year who was nearly hit by a cutting curse.
"Thanks" he called as he dodged a green flash of light and began firing his own spells.
Just as Ginny hit a Death Eater with a disarming charm and made a rope tie itself around their ankle so the Death Eater fell and lost their wand, she heard a voice.
"I thought I told you to go back to the castle" said Harry, she looked up and saw him casting hexes at them and quickly ducked as a red light zoomed past him.
"There was no way I would run to safety while people were in danger" she said hitting someone in the chest with a stunner.
"You are so stubborn" he said sounding exasperated, Ginny looked up at him and smirked as she moved out of the way of a light as someone shouted "Crucio".
"And you love it" she replied cheekily, casting as many spells as she could, Harry grinned as she knocked out a Death Eater, that was true but he wouldn't give her the advantage of telling her that.
Soon, there was only a few Death Eaters who were still fighting, excepting defeat, they retreated.
"Oh no they don't" Harry growled as he chased after them, Ginny quickly ran after him as he began casting any spells.
She lost him in a matter of moments, she turned a corner and gasped as a wand was aimed at her throat.
She looked up and noticed that the wand was lowered slightly and the person's grip loosened.
Ginny looked at the mask that looked so familiar when she realised "Mother?" she said breathlessly as she felt tears prickle at her eyes.
The Death Eater lowered their wand more and just looked at her like they wanted to remember every little detail of her.
"Ginny, I'm sorry, I miss you so much" she heard them say, she knew her 'Mother's' voice and that was definitely her.
Before Ginny could say anything else, her Mother turned and ran away, Ginny felt her tears threaten to drop as she watched her.
"No please come back!" she shouted as she ran after her but after a few steps, she felt familiar arms around her waist.
"Harry let me go!" she screeched as her tears fell although she tried to stop them, she struggled to get out of his grip but he was too strong.
"Let go, please let me go!" she shouted as she tried to wench his arms off her, she could still see her Mother.
Harry tightened his grip as she struggled harder "Ginny it's too dangerous, she is a Death Eater" he said softly.
She shook her head frantically "I don't care, I need to see her" she said but Harry didn't let her go.
"No!" she screamed tearfully as she saw her apparate away with someone else that must have been her 'Father'.
Harry turned her around and hugged her as she cried freely on his shoulder, he made soothing noises as he stroked her hair.
"It's ok Ginny" he whispered as he held onto her protectively but she shook her head "I was so close to her" she said weakly.
Harry felt like his heart was breaking as he heard her crying, he never wanted to let her go.
"I know, I am sorry but there was nothing you could have done that wouldn't endanger the both of you" he said.
Ginny nodded as she raised her head "your right, I just miss her so much" she sais wiping her eyes.
Once she was better, they both went up to the castle as Aurors took the remaining Death Eaters away.
That night, Harry and Ginny sat on the couch in front of the fire, Harry had pulled Ginny onto his lap and held her to him while he played with her hair.
Ginny stared tearfully into the flames of the fire, her Mother's words echoed in her mind as she wondered if she would ever see her again.
Now annd again a tear would fall down her cheek which made Harry feel terrible, by eleven o'clock, they both were asleep.
