A/N this is the font that Harry will write in
When they got to Dumbledore's office, Ginny was engulfed by a tsunami of red heads. Harry stood back and let them hug their daughter. Eventually Arthur saw the boy and pulled him in for a chaste hug.
"Thank you my boy, thank you oh so much for saving our daughter" Harry just nodded, Ginny pulled away from her family and went to hold Harry's hand. They never noticed the glare that Mrs Weasley sent them. Ginny kissed Harry's cheek and smiled,
"Thank you" Harry just nodded and Ginny turned to Dumbledore.
"I'm sorry professor, I…." she trailed off, Dumbledore looked between Harry and Ginny and bean to formulate a plan.
"I dare say that Voldemort has fooled older and wiser Miss Weasley, what has happened is no fault of yours" Ginny grimaced but said nothing. Harry stared at the headmaster in apprehension. He knew that Dumbledore had placed him with Dursley's and before his aunt took them away he knew that Dumbledore knew just how abusive they were. Needless to say he trusted Voldemort more.
Molly hugged her daughter and tried to lead her away into another room but Ginny began to cry when Dumbledore tried to stop Harry following her.
"No! I need him Professor he saved me I don't want him to leave me alone!" and then she wrapped her hands around Harry's waist, scared he would disappear if she let go. Everyone tried to get her to let go, except harry. He just hugged her tighter and kissed the top of her head again. When she stopped crying he gently pried her of himself and looked her in the eye. His eyes conveying a silent promise that he would find her again and he grabbed her hand, placing it in George's. Mrs Weasley tied to grab her other hand but Harry stopped her and placed Ginny's other hand in Fred's. They understood what he meant immediately, Take care of her. So they did and together they pulled their distraught sister away from all the chaos. Harry of course stayed back to talk to Dumbledore.
Dumbledore looked at the boy in interest and handed him a quill and parchment.
"So Harry my boy, how are you?" Harry stuck his thumb up to indicate he was okay.
"You're pretty close to Miss Weasley."
We're friends he wrote Dumbledore said nothing but grabbed the diary.
"Interesting you should find this…. One could say it was destiny" Harry shrugged, he never was a believer in destiny, you make your own way in life.
"So how… did you know, you know about what this is?"
I have no idea what you mean professor, it's a diary isn't it?
Dumbledore eyes twinkled as he sat down.
"Of course it is my boy, ignore me"
Is that all professor?
"Yes that will be all, it was a pleasure to meet you Mr Potter and I hope we shall meet again" Harry shook his head and ran out the office, he stumbled around until he found Ron who had taken him to Ginny. He stayed there until they both fell asleep.
The next few days Harry had spent almost every day with Ginny and had somehow ended up sleeping in the same bed as her. Nobody objected due to how close the two were, well that was until petunia and Remus showed up. She had stepped into the room to find her nephew playing with Ginny's hair.
"HARRY JAMES POTTER" she screamed, alerting everyone to her presence.
"YOU DISSAPEAR, DEFEAT VOLDEMORT, SAVE GINNY AND THEN CORRUPT HER, WELL I NEVER!" Remus tried to calm her down but failed as she turned on him.
"OH DON'T YOU START YOU WERE THINKING IT REMUS LUPIN!" that effectively shut him up. Petunia carried on her tirade before effectively breaking down into Remus's arms, for an unusually inefecionate women this was just too much. Harry climbed out of bed and hugged his aunt. We stopped he stepped back and twirled, as if to say 'look I'm fine.' She smiled at him and kissed his forehead before wiping away her tears and turning to the younger girl.
"Oh Ginny dear, how are you?" Ginny looked down.
"I'm a lot better, Madman Pomfery gave me some medicine and Riddle is dead, I'm just sorry Harry was dragged into this mess" Harry glared at her, she glared back and the adults looked at each other confused.
"I don't care whether or not you got hurt you were dragged into it!" he just continued to glare at her and Remus burst out laughing.
"Ginny, harry is annoyingly impulsive, even if he suspected you had a cold he would've shown up to take care of you. He cares about you, maybe you were scared that you would lose him but harry is stupidly careless I honestly don't think he would get hurt" they both looked down and were still blushing red as Remus said that Harry cared. Petunia smirked at them both, painfully reminded of Lilly and James.
"Well, Remus and I are going to go and explore, we'll leave you two to it but do not leave this room." They both nodded and the adults left.
When school ended Ginny was forced to spend a hell of a lot of time at home and in therapy. Nightmares had plagued her dreams and the only time she could remember having a good night's sleep was when Harry had slept over. Unfortunately therapy and being effectively cut off from all her friends had left Harry out of the picture. The Twins had noticed and devised a plan, tired of seeing their sister fall. So they snook out in the middle of the night and had effectively kidnapped their little sister and Harry. They had taken them into town, to a little café.
"Fred what the hell is going on?" he didn't answer and she began to get frustrated but her frustration went when she saw Harry, she dropped her brothers hand and ran to her best friend, flinging her arms around his neck.
"Oh Merlin I missed you, what are you doing here?" he indicated towards George and they looked at the floor.
"You two did this for me? Why" she asked.
"Well you missed him" Said Fred
"He saved you and you're his best friend" said George
"It's not fair that you can't see him" Fred said again
"Because mum put you in therapy."
"Besides he's better than therapy" they said in unison and the younger two blushed profusely. Fred and George handed the two some muggle money.
"Harry, you have an hour to do what you want to do with her and bring her back before mum knows you two are gone" he nodded and the twins walked away. Harry grabbed Ginny's hand and pulled her to a café, he pointed towards the desserts and Ginny told the seller what she wanted, a vanilla slice. Together they eat the slice in silence as the seller looked at them curiously.
"You know i never properly thank you for saving my life" Ginny started but stopped when Harry shrugged, nonchalant.
"It's a big deal Harry, you saved me."
You are my friend I did what anyone would do
She just stared at him, like he'd grown a third head. He began to fidget and eventually threw his slice at her to distract her, she threw hers back and began to laugh. She laughed so hard she fell of her chair. Harry smiled at her warmly and helped her up. The shop owner smiled the two and walked over.
"All right you two, I'm afraid it's time to go home" they nodded and looked down. They slowly walked out of the store, scared of the repercussions but the lady just smiled.
The rest of the hour Ginny talked and Harry listened, when it was eventually time to go home, Ginny kissed Harry's cheek and went to bed. It was the best night's sleep since she had entered the chamber.
