Harrison Folsom

Ginny sat near the window watching as the drops of rain slid down the cold surface of the glass. She looked up as soon as she heard the door shut. A young man with graying hair and pale green eyes entered the room. He walked over, kissing her on the cheek.

"Hey sweetie," he smiled. "Boy, am I exhausted. How was your day?"

"Pretty good…" she replied.

She'd been living with Harrison for only a couple of months and already she was having her doubts. She felt guilty because she'd promised to stay true to Draco but she couldn't wait forever. Could she?

"Gin, you okay?" Harrison's voice broke through her thoughts.

"Sorry, I got distracted," Ginny, replied. "What were you saying?"

"Colin's seems to be missing. His secretary's been owling him but he hasn't responded."

"I sure hope he's okay… Where was he seen last?"

"I heard he was going to London and you know how the magic folk in London are."

There had been quite a controversy going on in the wizarding world only because some of the magic folk didn't favor a young man as being the Minister of Magic. He was just too young for their taste despite how well he was doing.

"I sure hope he's okay," she repeated. She had quite a bad feeling about this news.

"I do too, but the Ministry better put itself together," Harrison replied. "They're asking me to fill in since I'm in second in command… Sort of."

"Well that's great!"

"Yeah, but the thing is, I really don't want to run the Ministry. It's just too hard."

Ginny stood up placing both hands on his face. She kissed him lightly.

"You can do it," she smiled. "I know you can."

He smiled back. "I am so lucky to have you."

This caused some hesitation from the young woman. She sat back down. Harrison knelt down in front of her, concerned. Ginny looked out the window; she looked as if she were very far away.

"Gin? Are you okay? Are you…Thinking of him," he asked slowly.

She looked at him as if seeing him for the first time. She felt very horrible. Here was a man who cared very much about her and all she could do was think of the man she'd lost because he had to leave for his and her family's safety.

"I'm so sorry," she said. "It isn't fair to you that I'm thinking of someone else."

"Hey, it's okay. Don't worry about it."

"He's coming back."

Harrison frowned with confusion. "Isn't he being hunting down? He can't come back."

"He's going to be set free… My brother and his friends are… Are working together."

Harrison remained silent. He seemed to be thinking. After a while, he spoke.

"Well, I think it's great."

"Really?" she asked very surprised.

"Yeah! It's really great. Trust me."

He pulled her into a hug. Ginny nodded and he kissed her on the forehead. She just found it really weird that he acted that way. Very weird.
