Okay Everyone! Thanx so much for the wonderful feed back! I love it and all my reviewers! Now... there will be more chapters! Last chapter was not the end! I don't know how many people asked me that! I'll tell you when I get close to completing the story. And then there will be a sequel! Now on with the show...
I'm ready...
Harry and Ginny were ecstatic! But Harry was anxious...
"Gin..." he asked quietly as they sat on the common room sofa after everyone had retired for the night.
"Hum?" she answered running her hands through his messy black hair.
"What if I die? What if we never get to buy a house? What if we never have children? What if I'm not there?" Her eyes glassed over.
"Harry... What if I die? What if I never get to wake up in the same bed as you? What if I loose you? Harry we can 'what if' till the world ends but we just have to live for the present. We have to be thankful that we are sitting on this sofa at this very moment. Just loving each other. And Harry... no matter what I'll never stop loving you. Never."
She was crying as she finished. Harry leaned forward and wiped away her tears.
"I love you so much Gin..."
She responded with a kiss...
They slept there, on the sofa, that night. Just holding each other...
"Harry Potter why are you sleeping with our sister?" someone asked menacingly. Harry opened one eye. There, not two feet from him, were all six Weasley brothers.
"Gin..." he whispered. "I think we have company." And he tried to sit up.
"No... don't move... this is nice..." she mumbled sleepily.
"Ginny you two aren't married yet." Percy said in a very obviously scandalized. This made Ginny sit up right in the blink of an eye.
"Bill... Charlie, Percy, Fred, George? What are you all doing here?"
"Just coming-"
"To visit-"
"Our only sister." Fred and George said.
Bill grinned and Charlie was talking to Percy.
Bill cleared his throat. "I think we need a private work with Harry. Right boys?" There was a general murmur of agreement.
"I want him back in ONE PIECE!" Ginny said looking at all her brothers. They nodded. A female Weasley was not one to cross.
Harry got up, kissed Ginny, and went with all the men cough-boys-cough to his dorm.
They went in and Charlie went to wake up Ron. Fred and George had volunteered to but after hearing them mention spiders; Charlie intervened. He went over and shook Ron awake. Near ten minutes later, Ron was up and not in a very good mood.
"Now Harry..." Bill started. "As the oldest of the Weasley children, I would like to remind you that you are not married yet."
Then Charlie spoke, "I would like to offer my best wishes and tell you that you're in for a trip. Just never let her know that you don't know what mauve is." What is mauve? Harry thought to himself. Sounds like a weird disease.
The Percy spoke, "Harry I would like to apologize for how I acted toward you in the past and remind you to make responsible decisions."
Then Fred and George spoke, "Now Harry..." Fred said.
"We know" added George
"That you are"
"A randy young lad"
"But that doesn't"
"Mean that you"
"Can take advantage of"
"Our dear baby sister." Finished George and Fred nodded in agreement. By now Harry was scared. He didn't deny that he would like to sleep with Ginny, but they made him out to be a randy, freak, sex fiend, weirdo. He would never make Ginny do anything she didn't want to. He would let her make the first move.
Then finally it was Ron's turn, "Harry... you're my best mate. You're also marrying my only sister. I was upset at first before I really understood. But now I do. I don't care what you do as long as you're both sure you're ready." Ron finished and they were all gaping at him. Did Ron just give me permission to sleep with his sister? Harry asked himself.
"Ron?!" Percy cried in obvious indignation.
Ron shrugged. "I got over it." Harry knew this was only because he was sleeping with Hermione. He almost laughed aloud at the irony of the whole situation.
Then there was a knock at the door. Sirius came in.
"I'm sorry to break up this little bonding experience but I need to steal Harry for a little bit." The Weasleys nodded and Harry left. Ginny was waiting at the bottom of the stairs. He took her hand and they followed Sirius. When they were comfortably seated in Dumbledore's office Harry spoke.
"What's this all about?"
"Well..." Dumbledore started as he shifted uneasily in his chair. "Harry there have been more attacks..."
"What? Where?!" Harry asked jumping up.
"The Ministry was attacked and it is believed that Mr. Malfoy killed the Minister.
This news came as a shock to Harry. He knew how close the battle was but this just seemed to make it real...
Dumbledore continued, "The dementors have officially joined the dark side, along with hags, vampires, and Trolls. The Ministry is crumbling from with in. I fear that unless something is done; Hogwarts will be next to fall." There was a ringing silence.
Ginny took Harry's hand and pulled him back into his seat.
"I was wondering Harry, If you would make a speech tonight at dinner?"
Harry nodded numbly. It felt like his burden was just increased by astronomical proportions.
"I also wanted to speak to you about your newly discovered skill. Wand-less Magic."
Harry nodded. "If you would, please summon this apple." Dumbledore said placing an apple in his desk. Harry screwed up his eyes, reached out and the apple flew right into his hand. Dumbledore beamed.
"I think you should train to improve your wand-less magic abilities instead of taking History of magic? What do you think Harry?"
"I guess... I mean wand-less magic could be very useful in t duel against the dark lord.
Dumbledore thanked Harry and Ginny for coming and they were sent back to class. Harry was in a daze all through charms. All he could think about was seeing the dark mark over Hogwarts. It was his worst fear with the exception of Ginny being injured in any way. He met up with Ginny at lunch.
"Do you want to skive off our afternoon classes and go sit by the lake?" Ginny asked kissing his neck provocatively. He nodded frantically.
"I just need to go get something from my dorm. I'll meet you there in ten minutes."
Ginny nodded, kissed him, then took off in the direction of the front hall. Harry hurried upstairs and got what he needed and ten minutes later he was sitting with Ginny under a willow tree beside the sparkling blue waters of the Hogwarts Lake.
"What did you go get Harry?" Ginny asked as he sat down beside her.
"I um... well... my..."
"Spit it out already Harry..."
'Okay I went to get my will." She stared at him obviously shocked.
"Do you mind if I read it?" She asked.
He passed the piece of parchment to her.
It read:
Dear everyone,
If you're reading this I've probably died at the hands, or wand rather, of Voldemort. I would firstly like to apologize for not being there for all of you; especially you Gin. I love you all so much I don't even know where to begin...
Mr. and Mrs. Weasley: You've been like parents to me. I don't know what I would have done without you both. I wish you the best and I'm leaving you 100,000 galleons and my summer house in Hilton Head.
Bill, Charlie, Percy: I have really grown close to you all since first year. I consider you family and I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm leaving you each 5,000 galleons.
Fred and George: My oh my... where do I begin... I have so many fond memories... As such I'm leaving you all plans for joke supplies made by the Marauders. I am also leaving you both 15,000 galleons to put toward the shop.
Remus and Sirius: I don't even know where to begin... You've both been like fathers to me. I don't know what I would have done without you. I'm leaving you all of my fathers mementoes and personal artifacts. I'm also leaving you both 50,000 galleons.
Hermione and Ron: You were the sister I never had and you Ron the brother. I wish you both the best and I hope you well accept my estate in London, as I am leaving it to you both. It will be a wonderful place to begin your family.
Ginny: Oh my love I'm so sorry. I wish I could be there. Please don't allow my death to prevent you from being happy. Find someone to love, marry, have children, grow old. And please Gin, don't dwell on the past, just know that my love is eternal. Not even death will end it. Please forgive me for not being there. Just promise me that you won't pull away from your family. They love you, I love you. I'm again sorry for not being there for you, for not being able to kiss you goodnight, for not being able to climb into be with you every night, for not being strong enough to defeat him. I am leaving you my house in Godric's Hollow. I hope you will marry and raise a family there. I am leaving you the remainder of gold in my account. Please do something you love with it. You deserve that. I am also leaving you all of my mother's things. I want you to have them. Just promise you'll keep her engagement ring... and Ginny remember I love you, forever and always.
Please forgive me and remember,
Love is forever, it is powerful, it is wonderful, Ginny please know that if I died I died thinking of you.
With all my love,
Harry J. Potter
Witness: Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore
Ginny was sobbing. It was the single saddest thing she had ever read. She rocked back and forth in Harry's arms.
"No no no no no... Harry I won't let you die. I won't let you!" she said in between sobs.
Harry smoothed her hair and whispered soothing things in her ear. She calmed down eventually.
"Harry... do you really think you're going to die?"
"Well I don't want to think so... But it's a very real possibility." He said soberly.
She nodded. Suddenly she stood up.
"Get up Harry." She said and it was an order not a request. He obliged. She took his hand and, pulling him behind her, sprinted toward the castle.
"where... are.... We.... Going...?" he asked out of breath.
"The room of requirement." She replied still hurrying on her way. Finally they arrived out side the bare stretch of wall.
"Stay there." Ginny said pointing to a spot some ten feet form her. He nodded puzzled. She paced back and forth three times, concentrating hard. Finally, a door appeared.
"Am I aloud to move now?" Harry joked. Ginny giggled and nodded. He walked to the door and opened it.
There was a queen sized bed with vanilla candles surrounding it. The room was softly lit.
"Harry..." Ginny said walking up beside him. Harry stared at her open-mouthed. "I'm ready..." she said kissing him on the lips.
"Are you sure Gin?" Harry asked his voice coming out very croaky. She nodded.
"We can wait if you want?" Harry asked again in a disbelieving voice.
"Harry..." Ginny said taking his hand and leading him into the room. "I'm ready. I realized that either of us could die and I want you to be my one and only. And Harry there will never be anyone else."
Harry turned and walked toward her. He bent down and kissed her.
Now this is where we leave off; because any more is the private information of a Mr. Harry James Potter and a Miss Ginny Molly Weasley.
