Harry lay on his bed in the dark. He had been staring at the same spot on the ceiling for about an hour. How could everything have gone so wrong after being so right? How was it fair that he had had such a life of despair and then when his life finally began to get better it crashed to its lowest point yet? He was back at the Dursley's, the closet things he had ever had to parents had both been taken from him and to top it all off he couldn't be with the girl he was in love with. Why did this have to happen to him?
As he heard the church clock chime to 2am he heard another sound. A very familiar sound to him. It was the sound of Hedwig, his owl, returning from a nights hunting. He didn't bother to get up; he knew she would be fine. But she flew over to him and pecked him hard on the arm causing him to gasp in pain.
"What... oh you have a letter for me. You know you could peck a little lighter, my arm hurts now!"
He took the letter attached to her leg and she flew off into the night.
Harry opened the letter and immediately recognised the untidy scrawl of his best friend Ron. He opened the letter, it read;
Harry,
How long are you going to hide at you uncles? I thought we were going horcrux hunting! Hermione has already arrived at my house and we are just waiting for you now. One of us will be apparating to see you tonight at 2:30am. I thought we should warn you first so we didn't scare you.
See you soon.
Ron
P.S. Ginny has been hiding in her room since we got back from school. When you get here I think you need to talk things over with her.
Harry stared at the last piece of the letter his eyes starting to sting. He couldn't cry now, not if Ron was about to arrive. If Ron was about to turn up he should put away the pictures he had of Ginny in his room. He knew it was stupid having her picture out, and he knew that he had to get over her if he was going to be able to concentrate properly on his mission, but he couldn't bear to put them away. He needed her around him and if he couldn't have her in person the pictures would have to do.
A familiar popping sound in the hall signalled that Ron had just apparated. Harry opened the door to tell him not to wake his uncle.
"Ron, be qui-… Hermione! I thought Ron was coming."
"He was going to but he went to bed early and I couldn't wake him up so I thought I'd come to get you. I wanted to talk to you on my own anyway so it works out better."
"Ok. What did you want to talk to me about?" Harry said. Although he knew what was coming.
"Ginny" Hermione said simply.
"I knew you were going to say that. What am I supposed to do about her? I hate that we can't be together, but I can't bare the thought of her getting hurt and it being my fault. I love her too damn much."
"That's the whole problem. She doesn't think that you ever loved her. She thinks you just used her to fill a gap. Sh-"
"FILL A GAP? How can she think that? I loved her. I STILL do love her!"
"I know that. She just needs to know it. You have to tell her."
"I can't. If I tell her that then all the feelings I've been trying to lock away will come back to the surface and I won't be able to let her go. I nee-"
"You have to find a way Harry. I'm not arguing with you now! Ron wants you to come to the house tonight. He doesn't want to hear any excuses. We have booked you a seat on the knight bus. We didn't think it would be a good idea if you apparated as you aren't of age yet. The bus will be here in… 30 minutes. That'll give you time to pack. I've got to go now. I'll see you soon. Stay safe Harry."
Before Harry could say goodbye she had apparated back to the burrow.
Harry had little time to think about what Hermione had said about Ginny. He knew that he loved her but he couldn't bring all that emotion back up again. It was too hard for him.
He had no time to dwell on this now. He had to pack his trunk.
25 minutes later Harry had written a note to the Dursley's and was sitting on the curb outside 4 Privet Drive. A thought hit him. He never had to come back here again. He had done what he had promised to Dumbledore. He had returned one last time and now he was leaving, forever. Before he had much time to dwell on this a loud bang signalled the arrival of the knight bus. The 3 storied bright purple bus drove up and the door opened.
½ an hour later the knight bus pulled up outside the burrow. Harry stepped out feeling rather ill but very happy to be back home, at the burrow.
He Walked quietly to the house as he didn't want to wake anyone. But to his shock as he walked into the kitchen Ginny was standing there waiting for him.
