Harry woke up to the feel of the sun on his face. He looked down and saw Ginny with her head on his chest. He smiled as he kissed her forehead. The long war with Voldemort was over. Harry wasn't a Horcuxe like he thought that he was. For the first time in two years, Harry felt content. He carefully moved out of Ginny's grasp as he made his way down the stairs with her letters in his hands. Harry spent about two hours reading the stack of letters. Her letters were filled with passion and love but as he read deeper into them, he also noted the fear masked by the comforting words. He then set forth in the task of making their breakfast. He had just put a yellow tulip on the tray (AN: I am sure by now you see that tulips are my favorite flowers!), when he heard Ginny's cries.

Harry suddenly became alert and grabbed his wand as he ran up the stairs to the room they had shared the night before. He found her sobbing hysterically on the bed. Harry ran to her and put his arms around her. "Ginny, what's wrong?" He asked frantically, yearning to make her feel better.

"I thought that it was…a dream!" Ginny sobbed, putting her head against his neck. "I thought that you left me! That it…it…was only an illusion!" Harry stroked her red hair as she sobbed out in anguish.

"Ginny, I'm never going to leave you again." Harry promised. She shook as she tried to compose herself. He brushed away her tears and then gently kissed the place that each tear had been. Ginny put her hands on his cheeks and pulled his face to hers and kissed him passionately. They kissed each other hungrily for what felt like eternity until they ended the kiss, resting their foreheads against the others.

"I never took off my necklace" Ginny whispered, her warm breath tickling his lips.

"I never forgot that day." Harry said, putting her hand in his. They sat like that until Harry broke the silence. "You know, our breakfast is getting cold."

"You made us breakfast?" Ginny said, lifting her eyes to his green ones, looking at him mischievously.

"Yes," Harry said, playing with her hair "does this really surprise you?" Ginny nodded as she put her arms around his neck.

"I mean, you're so attractive yet I didn't think that you possibly knew how to cook." Harry looked at her and pouted as he played along.

"What are you trying to say, Ginerva?" Ginny groaned.

"Don't call me that!" She protested, kissing his nose. Harry smiled as he started tickling her. "Stop, Harry!" Ginny gasped as tears flooded her eyes. He did it a few more minutes, kissing her neck as she laughed. They ended up having Harry laying on top of her as they both were breathless from their laughter.

"I love you, Ginny" Harry murmured huskily.

"I love you too, Harry" Ginny whispered, putting her hand through his messy hair.

Ron and Hermione held hands as they Aparated to the cottage. They wanted to tell Harry and Ginny personally of their good news. When they got to the front door, Hermione stopped Ron before he could knock. "What?" He asked dumbly.

"I don't know. I just am nervous." Ron looked at her incredulously.

"About what?" Hermione sighed. As much as she loved her fiancé, he certainly knew how to annoy her.

"About announcing our engagement! I mean, we just got back from the war…"

"But, I thought you wanted us to get married as soon as possible" Ron said confused. Hermione sighed again.

"I do, Ronald. But I also don't want to pressure Harry and Ginny's relationship." Hermione explained.

"It wouldn't" Ron said patiently, kissing her cheek. "You're getting all worked up for nothing."

"I hope so" Hermione said as they knocked on the door.

Ginny answered with a squeal as she attacked the couple with a hug. "I've missed you two! Even you, Ron, you git!" Ginny said with an air of excitement in her voice.

"Well thanks" Ron said sarcastically, as Ginny pulled them inside. Ginny ignored him as she told Hermione how much she liked her chin length bob.

"Thank you, Ginny. It certainly came in handy in tight situations." Hermione said lightly. "Where is Harry?"

"Right here" Harry said as he Aparated in front of them. Hermione hugged him as Ron shook his hand. They went into the kitchen, talking the entire way. For the first time in forever, it was like normal. But more was in store for the friends. For this was just the beginning of something beautiful.

The End…or is it just the beginning? Look out for the sequel!
