Chapter 7
The Place to Settle
Ginny wondered what the letter would say. Well, I can't wait forever. So Ginny opened the message and surprisingly, it didn't come to life. Harry didn't open his yet. He wanted to wait until he knew what Ginny's was like. Ginny opened the letter and started reading.
Ginny… Where are you? Your mum is going nuts, No, worse than nuts. She has already gone through the crying phase. But now she is in-between the phase of anger and killing someone. Honestly Ginny, where are you? What is going on and why did you leave? Are you with Harry? Everyone in the family is worried sick. And I mean that literally. George was sad enough already and now you leave and make him think horrible things and sometimes share the thoughts with everyone. Believe me they are not good ideas either. Please, If you won't come back at least send us a long, descriptive letter telling us important information. And your mother refuses to send you a letter so I had to do it for her. You're very lucky this isn't a howler! Come on Ginny, come home! We've already went out and looked for you and Harry loads of times. Please Please Please give us some contact! ASAP!
-Hermione-
Ginny was so concentrated on the letter she barely noticed Harry hovering over her shoulder reading it. Once they both finished, they were surprised at how nice that was compared to what they thought it would be. "Wow. We've really made a mess here." Harry said. Ginny didn't speak for a long time. She started crying silently. Harry put his arm around her waist and kissed her cheek. "We need to go back or at least have contact with them. I can't take this. And when she mentioned George, I… I didn't mean to hurt him more…" she sniffed. Harry hugged his soon-to-be fiancée. "I know. I'll tell you what. We'll disapperate somewhere and settle there for a few days. We'll get married and then we can try to go back to the burrow if your Mum let's us. And if she doesn't, then we'll go back to the place we were at before. And we'll send them as many letters as we need to. Okay?" Harry said. Ginny looked up at him and nodded slowly. Harry reached down and kissed her. After a minute or two, Ginny pulled away unwillingly. Harry smiled at her then opened the letter he got. It was from Ron, but basically saying the same thing as Hermione did. Harry sighed. So they both got up and gathered their things. Once everything was together, Harry took Ginny's hand and told her to get some air in her lungs. Ginny then felt a force pushing against her from all directions. She could barely breathe, she felt like her eyes were going to pop out of her head. But then it was over. Gasping for breath, she couldn't even speak. When she looked up she saw a statue of three people. There were two parents and a baby. She stared at it for a few minutes. There was something familiar about that family. Harry stood next to her and said, "That's my parents." Ginny looked at her boyfriend's parents and then at the baby. Its face had almost exactly the same face as Harry. She said, "Why are we here?" Harry smiled, "I wanted to come back, and plus, you have to concentrate on the place you want to Apperate. And I couldn't picture somewhere that I didn't know of. So here we are." Luckily not all of Godric's Hollow was muggles only. There were some wizard houses. They walked around the small town and found three houses for sale. "We're in luck" Ginny said. They couldn't buy a house at that moment, so they checked into a hotel for the night.
The next morning they both got up at an early start. They both wrote a letter to be sent to the burrow. The young couple didn't mention where they were, but they told Ginny's family that they were alright and not dead. Since they had no owl to send the letter, they got ready and Apperated to Diagon Alley. They both had loads of things to do. They were both still in disguise so nobody would recognize them (Ginny with black hair and Harry with a disguise spell). First, they went to Magical Menagerie (which is a magical creatures shop). They went inside and looked at all of the owls to see which one they liked. They looked at each owl at the manager even let them hold the owls, but none of them felt right. When they reached the back of the store, they saw one last owl. Harry's eyes widened when he saw it. It was a snowy white color. And it looked like… Hedwig! The manager let the owl sit on Harry's arm. He smiled. This was the one. Ginny agreed. So they bought the owl, but couldn't decide the name for it. Straight after buying the owl, they went to Gringot's. They got enough money to rent a house and supplies. Once they were done with all of their errands, they went to the housing department. The man who assisted them did not at all recognize them. They had no problem renting a house in Godric's Hollow. And soon enough, they were at the front door of the rented house. Ginny and Harry both smiled at the sight of their own house. It took them a long while to get unpacked. Around nine o'clock PM, They were both sitting on the couch resting from all the unpacking. Suddenly, Harry sat up and started to reach into his pocket. Ginny was very confused at this point. Harry had a small blue box in his hand. Then, he opened it. A beautiful diamond ring shone from the box. Ginny's mouth flew open. "Ginny, I know we've been talking about this and here it is. Will you marry me?" said Harry. Ginny smiled and hugged him. "I love you! YES, YES, YES!" She cried. But then both of them stopped celebrating and asked each other, How to tell the Weasleys? Oh boy, here we go. "Let's get married first, and then go back to tell them." Ginny said. "Tushay." Harry said.
