I do not own Harry potter or anyone/anything associated it.
Review of Last chapter:
"Well, I hate to bring up a sore spot, but how'd you get that new scar. What happened between you and Voldemort, and do you have any idea why I was missing for the days before the final battle. I don't remember being gone but everyone was so happy when I turned up in my bed the morning after the fight." Harry looked at the ground and wonder if and how he should say this.
"If you don't want to tell you don't have to, I mean, its okay, I just wanted to know."
"No, no Ginny you have a right to know. Ginny, you were involved in that final battle......."

Chapter 4: Reactions and Feelings
"Oh my gosh," Ginny muttered. They were back at Harry's apartment, locked in Harry's room. Harry still didn't want any one else to know, but he felt Ginny had the right to. "Harry, it's my fault. It's my fault you passed out for a week. It's my fault your face bears second scar. This is all my fault."
"No, Ginny, no." Harry went over and hugged Ginny. "No, It's all Voldemort's fault. You did not volunteer to go with him. He took you away in your sleep. None of it is your fault."
"Harry? Does anyone else know? Any one at all?" Ginny looked up at Harry.
"Nobody. I didn't really want anyone to know. For you sake, for your safety." Harry still had his arms wrapped around Ginny and at this point her pulled her closer to him as if we was trying to keep her safe. "You could have been killed, because one person knew that you mean the world to me. I didn't want to risk your life. I didn't want anyone to harm you."
"Harry? Do you think I can stay here tonight? I don't really want to go home now. Mum will be here in 20 minutes and I just want to stay and work some stuff out with you. Please, can I stay?"
"It's fine with me, but I dunno how your mom will feel about it."
"She'll let me stay. She's always known when something is really important, and I would say that the fact I was a bargaining chip in the fate of the world counts as important." Ginny laughed and looked at Harry. Right then he realized he had been holding her so close and he let go of her.
"Right then," He said sort of blushing, "We should find Ron and tell him his favorite little sister is here to spend the night with us."
"Right." Ginny stood up and walked towards Harry's door. Half way there, she stopped and turned around. "Harry, Thanks. Thank you for letting me know."
"No problem."
.........................................................................................................
"Ginny, dear, now, I really don't know if this is right, I mean. Staying in an apartment with two boys each a year older than you and spending the night."
"Mum, Harry and I have some things we need to work out. Harry told me something today," Ginny took a glance at Harry. He nodded slightly to let her know it was okay, "Harry thinks he knows why I was missing for the two days before the final battle. He and I are trying to work that all through. And I really do not want to go home until we have figured it all out." Mrs. Weasley looked down at her daughter. Ginny had such a look of determination and seriousness on her face that Mrs. Weasley had to sigh.
"You guys grow up too fast," she finally said, "Okay, you can stay. But this is a one-night thing. And I want Ron to keep and eye on you, Ron!" Mrs. Weasley went to find her youngest son. A few minutes later, she returned to the living room. "I just got Ron's assurance that if you two are lying to me, and something other than talking occurs, then he will tear Harry's skin off his body." Mrs. Weasley joked.
"Thanks Mum. You have no idea how much this means to me."
"It's no problem dear." She gave her daughter a kiss on the cheek. "Have a good night honey."
................................................................................................
Ginny and Harry had returned to Harry's room. Harry was telling Ginny for the umpteenth time what happened during the last fight. "The second I had sent you back to your bed, everything became dark. I didn't wake up until a week later."
"Harry? I just thought of something."
"What is that?"
"You said that I meant the world to you. You've told me I was your only weakness."
"Yeah, about that." Harry was blushing as this reality hit him.
"Harry, Thanks. No one has ever told me that. I was beginning to lose hope on whether or not someone ever will."
"Ginny, if you don't mind me asking one last question for our Q and A from before, how do you feel about me? I've spilled my guts to you, now it's your turn."
"Harry, I love you. Ever since second year. When Voldemort possessed me, he made me believe that no one loved me, no one at all cared. He made me weak with the feeling that I was useless. But when I was about to give it all away. When I was about to make tom riddle alive and well again. I heard someone calling my name. It was you. You were telling me to wake up. You said, 'Ginny, don't be dead.' I listen and decided not to give up so easily then. Someone must have cared enough to come and find me when I was lost even to my self. Ever since then, I've cared for you, even when I tried to tell myself not too." Ginny smiled weakly as she finished her story. "Wow, I can't believe I just said all that."
"Thank you Ginny." Harry smiled at her, "thank you so much, you have no idea how much that meant to me."
"Well, if you don't mind, all this learn about myself and others has made me quite tired, so if you could find me some blankets and a pillow, I will settle myself out on the couch." Ginny said to try and cut the tension.
"Okay, Right through here."
.......................................................................................................................
"That's all fine and well, my lord, but who is she? Why is she here, almighty dark lord?"
"this is the way to Potter's demise. This is the way we will hurt him. She is the ticket to his heart."
"What are you going to do with her? How will you command Potter's down-fall."
"Do you not notice anything? This girl is the only person he would give his life for. And for her, he will give his life."
Ginny snapped awake. She looked up to see Harry and Ron standing over her.
"Are you okay, Gin?" Ron asked, "You were screaming and tossing and turning."
"We tried to wake you up, but we couldn't." Harry added.
"Harry, he wanted to kill you, he was gunna make you die for me. You were gunna die, because of me. Harry, It's all my fault." Ginny began to cry.
"It's okay. It was only I dream." Ron tried to comfort his sister as Harry enclosed her in a hug.
"No, Ron, it wasn't. But it's not your fault Ginny, not at all, like I said early, you were captive, I would never blame you. But I need you to tell me what you saw. What happened while you were gone, tell me what you know." Ginny recalled her dream, down to every detail she could remember.
"Okay, that makes things clearer, much clearer." Harry commented when Ginny was finished.
"How could he have known all this information about you. How did he find it all out?"
"I don't know. He was a powerful wizard. Evil, but powerful all the same. It's still scares me to think how he could read me like a book."
"Well, This is all fine and dandy but I'm really lost." Ron inserted.
"I'll explain in the morning. But we need to keep it under wraps, I still don't want the world to know yet." Harry told Ron, "But for now, we all need to get back to sleep. Especially you Ginny, you've had a rough day."
"Okay, G'night." Ron walked back toward his room. When he go to the door, he stopped and looked back at his sister and best friends. "Boy, only I can have the family and friends designed to give me a headache. G'night."
Harry started to get up to go back to his room. "Harry?" Harry turned back to look at Ginny. "Do you have to leave? Can you stay here with me until I fall asleep?"
"I guess so," Harry turned back to the couch and sat on the floor next to it.
"Thanks, Thanks for always keeping me safe."
..................................................................................................................
"Ginny! What are you doing here?"
"Jeez, Hermione! Could you be any louder? I was trying to sleep."
"I'm sorry but it worries me that I walk into a house to find my best female friend lying on a couch in an apartment owned by two guys."
"Well, I'm fully clothed, and on the couch, so I'd say it could be worse."
"Yeah, I guess it could." Hermione joked. She plopped down on the couch right on top of Ginny's legs.
"Oof, Hermione!"
"Hermione, I would greatly appreciate if you didn't turn my sister into a pancake." Ron Kidded as he came out of his bedroom.
"Good morning, my love."
"Good morning, my Love." Hermione and Ron began to kiss.
"Ewwwwww! No sister ever wants to see her brother make out with some one. It's just WRONG!" Ginny yelled.
"Trust me, it's not just the fact that he's your brother. Everyone thinks it's sick and wrong to watch Ron make out with some one. Welcome to what I see every morning." Harry laughed as he came out of his bedroom.
"Well, thanks, you all have really helped to raise my self-confidence. And with that, I will start my day." Ron marched into the kitchen, and everyone followed. "So I see you've gotten over whatever was bugging you last night." Ron said to Ginny, "and you still owe me an explanation."
"What needs to be explained?" Hermione asked.
"Well, I suppose I better tell you too. Ginny you don't have to stay around again if you don't want to."
"Nah. I'm fine."
"Okay. You know how Ginny had gone missing two days before the final battle, well..."
.............................................................................................................................
"And that's what happened." Harry finished. Ron was gawking at Harry as if he were insane. Hermione had buried her head in her arms and seemed to be crying. Ron finally snapped out of his trance, and began to comfort Hermione.
"So that's what happened?" Ron finally asked.
"I wish I were making it up. But I'm not. And please, you three are the only ones who know. Not even Dumbledore knows what happened that night. So keep it quiet k?" Both Hermione and Ron nodded. "Well, Ron, we need to be getting to the library. I can't quite remember why right now, but I know I came over to pick up to go to the library." Hermione told Ron.
"You guys have fun." Ginny added as they headed out the door, and then she turned to Harry. "So, what do we do now?"
"I dunno. Is there anything that you want to do?"
"Not Really. Maybe we should just head to the Burrow. I'm sure mum will make us some breakfast and we can plan what to do there."
"Alright, sounds like a plan." Harry and Ginny got ready to floo over to the burrow. "Hey Ginny?" Harry asked when they met at the fireplace.
"Yeah?"
"Are we like, dating now or what?"
"I dunno, are you asking me out?"
"I dunno, Maybe we shouldn't go out right now, you know, Maybe we should let everything settle before we worry about a long term relationship."
"Yeah, I agree." With that said, Harry stepped aside to let Ginny floo home. Right after she left, he followed behind.
................................................................................................................
"Ginny! Harry! How nice to see you! Did you all get everything you needed worked out?" Mrs. Weasley asked them as the fell into their kitchen.
"Yes, mum, its all taken care off."
"Good! Then sit down for some breakfast. Ron and Hermione just stuck their heads in to say they arrived at the library to find it closed and are dropping by for a visit. They should be here in a few minutes." Everyone sat down to eat and a few minutes later Ron and Hermione appeared in the doorway. "Come in, come in, and eat." Mrs. Weasley sat Ron and Hermione down. They both seemed to have recovered from the shock of this morning's news.
"Hey Harry when Breakfast is over do you want to go out back and work over some quidditch moves." Ron asked
"Sure, sounds like fun."
"After Breakfast want to go up to my room, we haven't had one of our girl talks in a long time." Ginny asked Hermione.
"Great!" Soon the group had split and they were all having a blast hanging out with their friends.
.....................................................................................................
Well, that's the next Part.......Yeah
BEK!
