Chapter Eleven
It had been days since the death of Voldemort, and the magical community at large could breath much easier than before. He was gone forever, and Harry was glad.
Harry was now out of the Hospital, and Ginny was now always by his side. The only time she left him was to go to class, and sleep. Otherwise, they were never without each other. It took a while, but Ron was a little bit calmer about things.
"You know Harry," He said one night, wile Harry and Ginny were sitting by the fire holding hands, "You and Ginny really do make a good couple. You should go out."
"Oh Ron, how far behind the times are you?" Ginny asked, "We have been together for almost a week. Get on track."
"Hey, I just now approved of you dating. I never even thought you would start with Harry."
"Well, thanks Ron." Ginny said, slapping him. "Harry, I'm going to bed. Night, see you in the morning." She leaned over to him and kissed him. Harry leaned in to return the kiss.
"Night Gin." He said. She walked over to her dormitory, and went in.
"Do you really have to do that in front of me? Why don't you get a room?" Ron said, looking like he could throw up.
"Because, we don't want a room. Don't need one." Harry said.
"HARRY!" Ron screamed.
"What? What did I say?" Harry asked, pretending he was completely unaware of what he said. "Hey Ron, could you be a little easier on Gin? She still isn't totally over being suicidal, although being loved is helping, she still cries a lot. And when she tells me about her day, and who hurt her, your name comes up a lot."
"Hey! I just want her to go home. I don't want to bloody (A/N: I love that word!) hurt her! But, mum wants her to go home, and I think that would be the best thing for her. I can't do anything about it. She thinks that I can, and." Ron buried his face in his hands. "Harry, just don't hurt her. I don't want her to do anything that she will regret, mate." Ron stood up and walked over to the boy's dorms. The door closed, and Harry let out a sigh. Harry plopped himself down on a deep red couch in front of the fire. After a few minutes he said,
"Gin, I know your standing there. You can come down. He won't come back." The girl walked over from the shadows by the girl dorms.
"How did you see me? Nobody else could." She said, sitting down on the edge of the couch. He cloak was wrapped around her like a blanket.
"I don't know. Instinct."
"Well, are you going to pay attention to what Ron said?" She asked, staring into his deep green eyes.
"Yes. So, why don't you go up to bed like you said you would?" Harry asked, sitting up.
"Because I can't sleep. And nobody in my dorm leaves me alone any more. It drives me nuts. Before they didn't care, but now, they ask about my whole life. I can't stand it." Ginny said, moving over and sitting down in Harry's lap. He put his arms around her and hugged her.
"Well, you got me now. Want to take a walk?"
"Where? We'll get caught. We would both be out after curfew, and."
"Not if we are invisible."
"What do yo. Oh. Your Invisibility Cloak." Harry reached underneath the couch and pulled out the silvery-clear cloak.
"So, lets go. We'll go for a walk." Ginny stood up. Harry threw the cloak over both of them. He had to bend down a little bit because he was so tall. They headed to the portrait hole, and disappeared from behind it.
***
The grounds were cold, and glittered with freshly fallen snow. Harry and Ginny were outside now. They knew nobody would wee them, so Harry being the tallest took the cloak off of his head, and Ginny soon followed. They looked like two heads floating in midair. Occasionally, Ginny would start laughing, and Harry would smile, but they spent most of the time kissing. But, they weren't the only ones out of their beds after hours.
(A/N:I am very sorry all you Ron/Hermione shippers. Or, anyone who doesn't agree with the pairing of Darco/Hermione. This next part has some, er, 'fluff' in it between the two, but if you want, you can totally hate me, just skim this part, or don't read it, but really, this is one of my favorite parts of the chapter, and I spent a good deal of Social studies writing it, because we were watching a movie, and I had nothing better to do during the lecture we got about it. You might want to read this part though, so, back to the story.) "Oh, Draco! No, not now! Wait until we get into the common room!" (A/N: What we learn in history!)
"Why dear 'Mione? Why not now?"
"Because, people could see us!"
"But, my fathers dead."
"Well, Ron isn't dead, is he? Nor Harry for that matter."
"Fine." A disappointed Draco said. He led Hermione out from behind the tall pine tree into the moonlit clearing. They walked like this for a time, before they came upon two heads that looked like they were floating in the air.
"Crap!" Hermione swore. "Harry and Ginny are out here. Were screwed."
"Not if they don't see us." Darco said, pulling her to some bushes.
"No good, they already saw us." She said sounding exasperated. Harry and Ginny were approaching, still deep in conversation. "Well, lets go talk to them."
"Not unless they want to talk to us." Darco said. Harry and Ginny seemed very unaware of Hermione and Draco's presence and they kept on walking and talking. They were two feet away from Darco and Hermione when Ginny realized they were there.
"Hermione!" Ginny said looking at the older girl. Harry's grip around her strengthened, as her became aware of Malfoy's presence, and he pulled her closer to him. "So, what are you doing out here? And with him?" Ginny questioned.
"Er, Ginny, it's a long story. I should ask you that."
"Well, I fancied a walk, and Harry went along with me."
"Sure." She said, sounding sarcastic.
"Bloody hell, Malfoy, what are you doing out here with Hermione?" Harry asked, anger rising in his voice.
"Well," Malfoy said, as he bent down to kiss Hermione, "We, (kiss) "were taking," (kiss), "a brisk", (kiss), "little walk."
"Bloody hell! Get a tree!" Harry said, sickened by the sight in front of him. "Hermione, couldn't you have gotten someone else besides that slimy git?" Harry asked.
"No. What's wrong with Draco?" She said angrily. "You never liked Ginny at first. So why should you care about what I do with my life Harry? It's my life! You didn't like Ginny from the start, so leave me alone!" Hermione screamed at him, breaking the stillness. She stood there, anger rising, before Draco put his arms around her.
"She's right Potter. You never liked the girl Weasley at first. But now, I suppose you will do anything to keep anything going huh? After all 'little scar head' has lost." They walked off into the darkness, leaving Harry and Ginny standing by themselves.
"Is what they said true? You never loved me at first?" Ginny said, tears welling in her eyes, her voice breaking. "Is it true?"
"Gin, I love you now. You have me now. That's all you need." Ginny started sobbing into his chest.
"Is it true?"
"What do you think?"
"I love you Harry. I really do. But, I am so afraid of what might happen."
"But Voldemort's gone now. He can't hurt you." Harry wrapped his arms around her and led her up to the castle.
"That's what they told me before, too. Look what happened then." Harry put the cloak over their heads and they entered the castle, kissing each other.
