Chapter 8 Ginny and Colin

Saying their good byes, Ron, Moine and little Percy fast asleep on Ron 's back, stepped to the fire place and used floo powder to get home. "Night Gin" Ron said smiling "The Burrow" and he and Hermoine walked into the emerald green flames, and were gone. Ginny sat on the sofa then laid her head on Colin 's shoulder. "Ginny.how are you feeling..?" Colin asked sincerely. "Fine.why?" replied Gin, and then she sighed, and rubbed her large stomach. "You just..you just haven't been acting your self lately, that's all." He got quite as he finished he's sentence. "just tired Colin that's all." she sat up slowly and picked Lily up and carried her to her room. Tucking her in Lily smiled, and said "I love you mummy" Ginny kissed her for head and said "Night Lil.see you in the morning" covering Lily in a light blue blanket she snuggled in it curled up into a ball and sighed. Ginny felt a strong and gentle pair of hands wrap around her waste, and Colin kissed her neck. and they walked into their room. They lay their for hours just talking about events at the ministry, friends and basically life it self. Has Colin drifted of to peaceful sleep, Ginny laid awake thinking about Harry. ' Yes I have moved on, I'm with Colin and happy. Lily has never known Harry...I have never mentioned him around her. I mean.she doesn't need to know that Colin isn't her father, he takes care of her, and loves her to death.loves me to death. Although I will admit.Colin will be Harry. I am still trying to fill the whole in my heart Harry has left, and ever so often I look at pictures of Harry.just to see him on more time. In fact. I still have everything of his.its all in the attic, put away safe.' Colin began to move around in the bed, then he sigh and settled back into sleep. Ginny rolled over and stared at the closed window. The white long curtains still, and not dancing in the cool breezes was still hard to get use to. ' I have tried so hard to not forget Harry completely. but to at least accept that he has moved on, and is waiting for me.' Feel something cold touch her breast, she sat up and realized it was he necklaces. That had her engagement, and her weeding ring dangling from the golden chain. She felt the cold metal between her fingers, she unhooked the chain and lay it on her bedside table. Rolling back over she looked at the ceiling. Her eyes began to water, she wasn't crying.tears were just flowing from her warm brown eyes. She did not wipe them away, she let them roll gently down her bony cheeks and down to her neck. She drifted off to sleep, think of Lily not knowing about her father, although Colin is her father, he loves her, is here for her; but she really wished that it was Harry and Lily together playing exploding snap.or watching Quidditch games. That was her last thought, tears still flowing like a river from her eyes as she fell into a peaceful sleep. Colin awoke a few minutes after Ginny had fallen asleep, getting up from the bed, he went to the bathroom to wash his face. He came and slow sat back in the bed. He watched Ginny sleep, he then noticed her milky white skin had a shine to it. Taking his long index finger, he stroked her cheek. Her cheeks were wet with tears. He played with her brilliant red hair, and tucked it behind her ear. ' she's so beautiful.I know deep down she wishes I were Harry.she still has all of his stuff up in the attic.she has never even thrown a hair away from his hair brush.' Colin thought smiling.' All I ever wanted was the Ginny that I meet after Harry's death.she opened up to me, cried on my shoulder.we were friends all threw Hogwarts.and to think that after he died we became each others partners.and a year later we got married. We already had Lily (so much like Harry!) and now I have one of my own on the way.Ginny loves me yes I know. But not they way she loved harry. She drives me crazy, yet I don't think I do the same to her.' Ginny rolled over pulling the blanket over her shoulders and sighed. ' I have everything I ever wanted.yet I still think Ginny..oh wait am I saying.if Ginny didn't love me she wouldn't be caring my child.' He started to look at her, wanting her even more. He leaned over her and gave her a Kiss on the cheek. He stroked her smooth, silky skin. He smiled then ran his fingers threw his hair, and sighed. ' I wonder.if I wasn't there for her after harry 's death.would she have gone after Draco for comfort I mean Ron and Draco were here everyday talking to her, and I was her once and she poured her soul out to me.Am I just a rebound.' his thoughts were cut short, standing in the door way, Lily was holding her Bear by the hand, and looking at her father. She was wearing a light lavender nightgown and fuzzy whit slippers, she walked up to him her red hair in a braid and sat in his lap.
