A new start

Harry came down to the Gryffindor common room from the boy's dormitories. He had slept for nearly 24 hours. Robbing a bank, escaping on a dragon, fighting dark wizards, dying and saving the world in a perspective of 24 hours do make you tired. Even more when afterwards everyone wanted to talk to you. Harry had dumped into bed short after 10 in the morning at the second of May. He had been exhausted, and barely woken up at five when Hermione had come with some dinner to him, before he when straight back to sleep. He was informed that everyone that wanted was allowed to stay at Hogwarts. He knew that all of the Weasley stayed, no one really wanted to go back to the Burrow. He dreaded meeting them, looking them into their eyes, when he knew that it was his fault that Fred ... that Fred ... He couldn't bear the thought. Fred was dead, so was Tonks and Remus, Collin and so many others. All dead because he hadn't moved quick enough. He took a glans around the common room, but hadn't time to take anything in before a flash of red hit him. Ginny hugged him like she never had done before, like their lives was ending if she ended the hug. After a long moment, or maybe it was hours, Harry wasn't sure, she looked up in his face and whispered

"Do never ever dare do something like that again." Her eyes were burning with passion, love and sadness. All emotions mixed together. Then she kissed him. No more words were said between them. They knew it had to come. He had to explain everything that had happened to him since he left the wedding, especially what had happened last night. And she knew that she had to relieve the year at Hogwarts. She had to tell him about the Carrows, the torturing and the DA. But they had time. Right now all they needed was one and other.

"Is everything alright between us now?" Harry asked, even though he knew it wasn't. But they needed to let out the elephant if they wanted some more. Better soon than later, he thought.

Ginny shock her head and responded "No, it isn't, but that can wait. We have other pressuring issues, like my gaping parents over there. I never told them that we were together last year, and this may be a shook for them." Ginny took his hand and began to move over to her parents.

On their way Harry whispered "So we are back together"

Nodding Ginny answered "Yes, but I do not hesitate to use my bat-bogey hex if you try to act noble again or if I get the impression of you holding back anything." Ginny smiled at him and Harry was sure she wasn't joking.

"I would never let you go again" Harry assured Ginny, giving her a small peck on her check.

At that time Harry and Ginny came over to her parents.

"Can I ask you, young lady, what just happened?" Molly stood staring at both with her hands one her hips, just as always.

"Well. As you maybe saw, I ran over to Harry the moment he took a step into the common room, hugging him, asked him to never die like that again, kissed him, threatened him to hex him if he ever leaves me or don't tell me the truth again."

"Again?" Molly's eyebrows resining.

"You see Mrs. Wesley, this is not the first first-kiss Ginny and I are sharing in the common room."

"What?" Molly exclaimed.

"After the Quidditch final last year, when I entered the common room after my detention with Snape, instead of just hugging her I ended up kissing her. I assumed that she had told you about our relationship, but that seems not to be true. After Dumbledore died, I knew I had to leave Hogwarts, and therefore Ginny too, behind. If I hadn't ended our relationship, I feared that Voldemort would use her to get too me. He had once before used her to get too me, and that just because she was my best friend sister. I could never ever have lived with myself if anything happened to Ginny because of me." Harry rambled on. He took a deep breath before he said, "So please understand and do not be crossed with me"

"Oh, you sweet little boy. I could not been crossed with you. I was more concerned about Ginny walking over you" Molly answered. Harry´s eyes were no longer on Molly however. They were stuck on the five men standing behind her.

"I think we need to have a brotherly talk" Bill began. Harry stood rooted to the spot. He had expected this, but not in front of the hole common room.

"This is something you can´t slip, even though you just have fought some of the worst witches and wizards of our time." Charlie continued. Well, Harry thought, these five men are much worse. One curse breaker, one dragon tamer, one … he didn´t knew how to describe Percy, but he was a talented wizard, one of the owner of the WWW aaand his best friend.

"We protect our siblings very carefully you see." Percy stated. Harry wished the floor would just suck him up.

"Even if you just have escaped death by inches" George chipped in. Harry thought that he would be glad to meet Voldemort once more instead of the wrath of Ginny´s brothers.

"You should know that we are here, ready to hex you if you do not treat our brother with respect and care, Ginny." Ron finished.
