Title: Let Go
Summary: This is a post-Hogwarts fic. Harry and Ginny are together, but what happens when Harry does something that will change Ginny's life forever? And where does that oh-so-sexy Slytherin Draco Malfoy fit in to all of this???
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ginny Weasley took one last look at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the place she had known and considered to be her home away from home for the past 7 years. She was finally leaving. Going out into the "real world". 'If there is such a place..' she mused.
The train ride on the Hogwarts Express was boring as usual. Ginny just went to sleep. In a way she was glad to be leaving, she wanted to go home and see Harry and her family, not so much her family as Harry. She and Harry had started dating in her 5th year. After Harry realized that Cho was no good for him and could never make him happy. It took him a while to convince Ginny that he really liked her though, because Ginny had moved on. But, they finally got together, and all in the world was right.
Ginny had helped in the fight against You-Know-Who her previous year. Harry had killed him just as the prophecy foretold, one of them would have to die, and it would definately not be Harry. All of the Death Eaters were now either dead, or in a cell in Azkaban prison. The most prominent among the Death Eaters was Lucius Malfoy and his wife Narcissa. Lucius was dead. Narcissa had commited suicide about 2 months after she was brought in to Azkaban. Draco was not a Death Eater, he was not evil, he was still finding himself, and he had the Malfoy money to use at his disposal, loads of it too...he would never run out.
The train pulled up to the station,Ginny got her trolley and made her way up to the front of the station where she found Ron waiting for her. "Hey, Ginny it's good to see you again." he said brightly.
"Good to see you too bro." she said as she hugged him.
"Well I suppose we should find a place to apparate that isn't crowded...c'mon."
Ginny followed him to the restrooms. "Alright, I'll apparate from inside a cubical, you do the same."
"Ok, see you at home sis."
With a noise that sounded like the crack of a whip Ginny was home. "Oh, there's my baby, home from Hogwarts," her mother said as she pulled her into a tight hug.
"It's good to be home mum."
Mrs. Weasley broke down into tears "Now all my children are grown up."
"Mum, don't cry, I am no where near grown up, besides Ron, Fred, and George still live here, and they don't look as if they will be moving out any time soon.
"I guess your right, but what's all this about not being grown up? Your far more mature than the rest of you brothers." Mrs. Weasley said cheerfully.
"No I'm not mum, I still have a lot of growing up to do."
"Ginny Weasley, if you go on with that attitude Harry will never want to marry you."
Ginny pondered this and decided she didn't want to get married any time soon. "Mum, I am not ready for marriage."
"Young lady by the time I was your age I was already pregnant with Bill, I swear if all of you go on acting this way I will never have any grandchildren." Mrs. Weasley said just as Harry apparated in.
"Oh hello Harry!" Mrs. Weasley said as she pulled him into a hug. "Ginny's home!"
"I can see that." Harry said and grinned. "Welcome home."
"Thanks." Ginny said as she hugged Harry, she could have swore she smelled ladies perfume, but shrugged it off.
"Erm, Ginny, can I talk to you in private?"
"Sure, we can go to my room." Ginny said as she pulled Harry into her room.
"Ginny, I don't know quite how to say this but...I have been seeing someone else." Harry looked into her eyes and was surprised when they didn't dwell up with tears.
"Who is she?" Ginny said neutrally then she added "Or he?"
"She..is Cho Chang."
"Oh, well I guess I'll be seeing you then." Ginny shoved him out of her room. Who did he think he was, coming up here and telling her he had been screwing with Cho Chang while she was holed up at Hogwarts remaining faithful to him? A tear slid down her cheek. What was she going to do? She had to leave, she didn't want to stay here any longer. She gathered up all of clothes, stuffed them into her trunk, charmed her trunk and its contents to be pocket sized, got all of her money, charmed it to be pocket sized. She sat down and wrote a note:
~~~Dear Everyone,
I'm off to find myself, be back when I do.
Love,
Ginny~~~
And with that she apparated to New York City.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
If here's what makes us decide
our future journey.
Well I'm not a long for the ride
cause I'm still yearning,
to try and touch the sky.
My finger's burning.
Before you're old you are young,
yet I'm still learning.
I am falling down,
try and stop me.
Feels so good to hit the ground.
You can watch me fall on my face.
It's an uphill human race,
and I am falling down.
I'm standing out in the street,
the earth is moving.
I feel it under my feet,
and I'm still proving
that I can stand my ground,
and my feet are there
and watch my hair
to be lost before you are found,
it don't mean you're losing.
I am falling down,
try and stop me.
Feels so good to hit the ground.
You can watch me fall on my face.
It's an uphill human race,
and I am falling down.
Someday I'll live in a house
etc...etc...etc.
But you'll know that's not for now.
For now I'm falling down down down,
down down down, down down down,
I am falling down.
I am falling down,
try and stop me.
Feels so good to hit the ground.
You can watch me fall on my face.
It's an uphill human race,
and I am falling down.
