A/N I'm keeping my chapter updates to the week as I said so hopefully I'll be able to keep up. Remember, always review and Harry Potter isn't mine.

A week later

After the incident at Ginny's apartment, Ladon and she had gained a new respect and bond for each other at the office; Ladon was the perfect gentleman. During Ginny's magic practices, he never once pushed the issue of Ginny's family, but whenever someone would mention something that might pain Ginny, he always at her side to comfort her if she needed it. They had become like best friends, one was always there for the other and they told each other almost anything.

On some nights, Ladon and Ginny would just sit in Ginny's living room, and practice magic. With Ginny's newfound trust in Ladon, her magic had become readily better. Later, they would sit around the fire and just think, or sometimes if Ginny felt capable she would tell more stories about her life. Ladon would always sit quietly and lend an ear to Ginny. She always wanted to hear about Ladon's life, but she never really wanted to push the issue, since he never brought it up. However, one night she did.

One night while sitting by the fire Ginny asked,

"Ladon, I always talk about myself. What about you?"

"What about me?" Ladon retorted.

"Well, like what did you like to do as a kid, what was your favorite subject? You know stuff like that."

"Umm, stuff like that. Let's see."

"Well, you could say that I was a solitary child; since I didn't have any siblings I basically just played by myself. I read a lot, played a damn good game of solitaire, still do. I also hung around with my house elf, and the horses my dad kept. Nothing much."

"That's sad."

"I guess you could say that, but that's what I was used to. I probably stress myself out if I had lived one day in your house."

"Haha, I guess that's true. One more question?" inquired Ginny gazing in the direction of the heat from the fire.

"Yeah"

"Tell me if this is too intrusive, but..."

"Yes?"

"What happened to your parents?"

"You mean how they died?"

"Yeah," Ginny said quietly.

"Death Eaters."

Both then turned and let their thoughts mingle with the burning embers.

a couple months later

"Ladon?"

"Yeah?" Ladon asked behind a pile of papers in the office.

"Would you mind...I mean if it's not too much..."

"Yes?" Ladon questioned.

"Would you like to go to the cemetery with me?" Ginny mumbled.

"Go to the cemetery?"

"Yes," Ginny added shyly, "My family died a year ago today."

"Oh."

"I just felt that I needed to share this with someone and since we've been getting along so well, but if you don't want to..."

"Of course I'll go." Ladon interrupted.

"Oh. Thank you so much. You don't know how much it means to me." Ginny said with tears in her eyes as she hugged him.

at the cemetery

Ginny and Ladon walked through the rows and rows of stone and marble until they came upon the area where her family was buried. This was her first time visited them since that day a year ago.

She knelt down and began to move her fingers across the headstones, trying to identify whom they belonged to and said a little prayer each time.

She finally stood up and talked to her whole family.

"Hey everyone." Ginny started.

"A lot has happened since you guys left. I woke up in St. Mungos and the Medi-witch said I have "hysterical blindness." I guess seeing you all leave caused me to block all the images that can come in. I've tried really hard to regain back my life; you all would have been so proud." Ginny sniffled.

"Dumbledore, or Albus, I should say, let me come back to work from him and I got a great assistant, Ladon to help me..."

"Ladon, come over here." Ginny cried in no particular direction.

"Well, everyone this is Ladon. He has been helping me so much just like I know you would have done." Ginny said letting tears fall to the ground.

"I really miss all of you and I wish you were still here. I still don't understand why you had to go, but there probably is a reason."

"Well, I better be going. Remember I love you all and I promise I'll try to come back soon. Love you."

With that Ginny turn tears streaking down her face, leaning into Ladon and walked away.

Like it? Once again remember to review and I'll try to get the next chapter up in a week.
