This is my first fan fic so hang in there folks! I'm trying v.hard to come up with good ideas for chapters, but I am finding it hard. This is a wee chapter to explain the circumstances that Harry and Ginny meet again in.

Once you have read it, please can you review and give me ideas for future chapters or even stories!

Chapter 1

It was Christmas Eve and Harry had been invited to the annual dinner in the Burrow, the Weasley Family home. For years Molly and Arthur had fulfilled the roles of the parents that he was deprived of. His stomach felt like it was filled with millions of butterflies. All the people he'd grown up with would be there, but he'd been out of contact for so long that he had forgotten what it was like to be with them. Ever since he'd dropped out of school at the end of his sixth year, he had been collecting information about Voldemort and his whereabouts. Eventually two years ago he had managed to destroy all of the Dark Lord's Horcruxes. He had then master sufficient magic and gained adequate knowledge to defeat the Great Lord Voldemort and inadvertently become the hero of the Magical Community once again. He had actually only come across his invitation by chance. A few weeks previously, he had been visiting the offices of the Daily Prophet when he literally bumped into Arthur.

FLASHBACK

"Oh, I'm sorry sir!" apologised Harry

"It's ok it doesn't mat- Harry!" Arthur exclaimed

"Mr. Weasley!"

"Harry, how are you?"

"I'm great thank you. Yourself?"

"I'm getting along fine. What have you been doing lately?" asked Arthur. Inwardly he thought this was a stupid question because everyone knew that Harry was the star seeker for Puddlemere United.

"Well I was just being interviewed by the Daily Prophet."

"Another enquiry about you defeat of Lord Voldemort?"

"Yes, you'd think they'd be tired of it by now. I certainly am, it's been two years!"

"Yes, well…" Arthur mumbled "Molly is preparing to host a dinner party on Christmas Eve for all the family and close friends. I'm sure she would be delighted if you would come!"

"Well, if you are sure I wouldn't be intruding…"

"Of course not! You simply must come. I'm sure Ron would enjoy your company too." he continued.

"Ok then."

"Excellent! Molly hopes to start eating around 7.30pm, so if you could come around seven that would be great!"

"Ok. Seven o'clock, Christmas Eve." Harry replied

"It was wonderful to see you again Harry! Goodbye!" Arthur waved and began to walk away.

"Yeah, see you later!" Harry shouted

END OF FLASHBACK

Now Harry found himself standing on the doorstep of the Burrow, on the outskirts of the small village of Ottery St. Catchpole. He turned around and surveyed the dilapidated garden that belonged to the Weasleys. He began to recall memories of the few summers that he has spent there in the company of this magnificent family. Playing impromptu games of Quidditch, de-gnoming the garden and even arriving in Mr. Weasley's magically adapted Ford Anglia. Suddenly, he had the overwhelming urge to burst into the house, sit down at the table and talk with everyone as if these memories had occurred not ten minutes ago.

With renewed confidence he strode up the steps and rapped on the door purposefully. Inside, there was the sound of scraping chairs as people got up in individual attempts to answer the door. The person that reached the door first turned the key in the lock and swung it open. In the doorway stood a tall, young woman with mousey coloured hair which still retained a hint of bushiness. Harry recognised the witch immediately. After all, he had spent six years in her close company.

"Hermione?"

"HARRY!" shrieked the woman
