Chapter 1: (Remember Me)

Oh, she walks these hills in a long black veil
she visits my grave when the night winds wail
nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me.

Nobody knows. Nobody sees,
Nobody knows but me.

It was almost midnight and Virginia walked quietly through the woods near her parent's house until she reached a clearing on a hill. Her cloak dragged softly across the grass. By a tree, she sat down, and she wept, pulling her cloak hood off and holding her face in her hands. Life was cruel.

Ten years ago, on a cold dark night…

Harry laughed quietly, stroking Ginny's curly red hair. It was dark, but the moonlight shone bright enough for him to gaze into her deep eyes. They opened the back door quietly and tiptoed out.
"Shh... Harry, be quite!" Ginny smiled. "No one can know." The two of them set off at a run across the Burrow backyard, to a clearing in the woods.

"I know, they don't want you dating yet, and they don't want you to fall in love with someone destined to die young." Harry said.

"It's too late for that, I've already fallen in love with you." Ginny whispered.

"I love you." Harry said, pulling her in closer to his body. She leaned into him and kissed him gently. Ginny felt as though she could stay that way forever, in Harry's arms, perfectly happy.

Harry and Ginny started dating in June of that year, and although it had been only two months, both of them knew that what they had was special. Ginny had always been taken by Harry, and after she joined Dumbledore's Army and went to save Sirius at the Ministry, something between them clicked. All during Harry's sixth year he tried to pretend he didn't see Ginny in the way she had always seen him, but in June, after a lot of discussion and a lot of flirting, they got together. They decided to keep it a secret from Ron, from Hermione, from everyone.

They decided to wait a while, mostly because Ginny's family, especially her brothers, were very protective over her. She was, after all, the only and youngest girl in the family. Harry knew that her family would accept him- they already considered him part of the family, but he was still sure Fred and George would give him a good beating anyways, and he wanted to avoid that for as long as possible. Both of them figured that the older Ginny was, the more that type of a situation could be avoided. "What will you do when I finish Hogwarts?" Harry asked, looking into Ginny's eyes.
"Die."
