Family
A gentle knocking brought Harry out of his day dreaming. Sitting up and reaching for his glasses he called out "Come in."
Hermione poked her head inside the room "Ginny and I would like to talk to you if you aren't asleep."
"Sure come on in. I was just laying here but I couldn't seem to get to sleep."
Hermione and Ginny came into the room and closed the door. Hermione flopped out on Ron's bed and Ginny sat on the edge of the bed Harry slept in.
Harry looked up "You guys worried about Ron too?"
They both looked at him and then finally Hermione shook her head. "No Harry we are worried about you."
She took a deep breath and continued. "We know you have come to terms with Sirius dying but you never really talked about it and to be honest we are concerned that until you talk it out it is still going to bother you."
"I'm fine, Right now we should be worried about Ron don't you think."
"Harry don't worry about Ron. He's fine"
"How in the hell do you know that?" Harry snapped.
Hermione just lifted the necklace from inside her shirt and showed it to him.
"Ohh" sighed Harry "I guess you would know wouldn't you?"
Both Ginny and Hermione just sat and looked at him
"Ok I do want to talk about it but I want to wait until Ron gets back. I think I want the four of us to talk about several things. Things are going to get bad before they get better and I want everyone to be ready for whatever happens."
"Your really worried aren't you Harry?' Ginny asked softly.
"Hell yes I'm worried." He said a bit too loudly. "Sirius is dead, Ron is in the hospital and I have no idea who is going to be next. I'm tired of people getting hurt."
The hurt and worry were evident in his voice and it was thick with unshed tears.
Ginny and Hermione both wrapped their arms around him.
"It's going to be alright Harry. We're going to get through this." Ginny whispered.
"Yeah Harry we just have to take care of each other." grinned Hermione. "Though I think Ginny wants to take care of you more than I do."
Ginny and Harry both turned bright red and Ginny stuck her tongue out at Hermione.
"I think you would have more luck if you made that offer to Harry." giggled Hermione.
"Hermione what's gotten into you? gasped Ginny.
"For once in my life I'm feeling really good about who I am and I intend to enjoy it to the fullest."
"So you're going to let my brother know how you feel then?"
"No I am going to let him come to me."
At that both Harry and Ginny snorted.
"Hermione you haven't had much luck waiting for Ron to make the first move yet you know." Harry noted.
"Yeah Hermione you know Harry's right." added Ginny.
"Yes that's how it has been in the past and I can't tell you why I think it has changed but I'm sure of it. He's going to tell me and it will be soon after he gets back to school."
"If you say so Hermione." Harry said doubtfully.
Hermione yawned "Though if he doesn't tell me soon I will just have to go snog him until he does."
Both Ginny and Harry stared at her like they didn't know who she was.
"Anyway why don't Ginny and I sleep in here Harry? We can sleep in Ron's bed that way we will all be together."
"We won't always be able to be together." Harry said softly.
"That's where you're wrong." Ginny said "We can only be split up if we let it happen; now both of you go to sleep. We have to go to Diagon alley tomorrow, right after your O.W.L.S. arrive."
"Ohh I had forgotten all about our O.W.L.S." Hermione said sleepily
Both Harry and Ginny looked at her then mouthed the word "love" at each other then got into bed.
