Chapter 9
Ron and Hermione in Godric's Hollow
And the four teenagers were in Godric's Hollow. They were all in front of a small but charming two-story house. Ron and Hermione were not surprised that they would pick Godric's Hollow to live. So they all walked into the blue house. Ron and Hermione both toured the house and then went into the kitchen with Harry and Ginny. They all sat down and talked about everything that had happened to them in their time apart. "Really, we could've used a break from Mum's nagging obsession with you two." complained Ron. Hermione surprisingly did not argue. "So what did she do?" asked Harry. Ron and Hermione both groaned and started rubbing their arms. "Honestly, she was going mad! She cried half the time for you two and…" Hermione then trailed off. She was going to say Fred. Silence. "Anyways… um, well, the other half of the time she took all of her anger out on us. She made us do all the chores you could ever think of two-hundred times a day." Hermione continued. "Oh please, she couldn't of made you do that much." Ginny argued. "Oh but she did." stated Ron. After that conversation, they all laughed and talked. And soon it was getting really late. "Well you guys could sleep in the second bedroom tonight if you want." Harry said. Ron and Hermione agreed and went up to bed. Once Harry and Ginny got up to their room, Harry suddenly kissed Ginny and shut the door. Ginny had no idea Harry would kiss her at that moment, but she didn't pull away. Then Harry deepened the kiss. Soon enough, they we in full make- out mode. Still kissing, Harry led her farther into the room and by the bed. They both sat on the bed and leaned back. Harry was almost on top of her when someone knocked on the door. They stopped. "Yeah?" Harry asked. Outside the door came a male voice they recognized as Ron's. "Hey where is the bathroom?" Ginny smiled and pushed Harry to the other side of the bed playfully. "Hey you better come back!" Harry whispered. Ginny smiled and walked out of the room to show everything to Ron. Meanwhile, Harry was sitting on the bed waiting for Ginny. And once she did come back, she sat next to him. Harry smiled and put his arms around her. "Now, where were we?" Harry whispered. His kissed her lightly. Then again, and again. They were soon making out again. But then, Ginny pulled away. "What? What's wrong?" Harry asked. "It's nothing. Never mind." She answered slowly. Again, she kissed Harry lightly. But he pulled away. "Ginny, what's wrong? Tell me." He said. Ginny mumbled something, but Harry demanded her to tell him. "Harry, Ron and Hermione are here. That's all." She said. Harry was confused. "You don't want them to be here?" Ginny was taken aback. "No! Of course I want them here! It's just…" then she broke off.
"What? Come on Ginny."
"What if they come in like Ron did that one time earlier this year in my room?"
"Oh." Harry understood and he knew where she was going with this. "Well we won't go that far then. But later."
"Harry I want to, believe me. But I think I want to go back to school next year. So, I don't want to be in that specific state at school. But after that, Yes." Ginny said with disappointment.
Harry looked at her and said, "Ginny, don't feel guilty about this. I understand. But when you go back to school, you have to write. Okay?" Ginny smiled at her husband's understanding. Harry kissed her lightly again. "I love you." He said to her. She looked into his eyes and said, "I love you too Harry."
The next morning, Ginny awoke with Harry's arms around her. It was still dark in their room, which made Ginny tired again. She closed her eyes but could not get back to sleep. She remembered that dream she had about the man in the hotel. And last night when she was sleeping, the dream replayed itself. Now Ginny wondered why she would be having this dream. There she lay with her husband's arms around her; she then got up and dressed to go downstairs. Once she was down in the kitchen, she put a kettle on the stove to boil hot water. Ginny sat down at the table and looked at her arm. The initials of TMR were still perfectly clear on her skin. She sighed deeply and put her head in her arms. Ginny didn't know how long she was sitting there, but when the kettle steamed she got up and made tea. A few minutes later, Hermione came down the stairs. "Oh! Hi, Hermione. Care to join me?" Ginny said. Hermione smiled and sat across from Ginny. "So… have you thought about the reenactment lately?" Hermione asked. Truthfully, she hadn't. "Not really. But, you could help me if you want to." Ginny said. "Really?"
Harry woke up and saw that Ginny was gone. He got up and dressed, but instead of going downstairs, he went down the hall and onto the balcony. There he found his best friend, Ron. "Hey Harry." He said. "Hey, what are you doing out here?" Harry asked.
"Nothing. Just thinking."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah. I'm fine."
"So did you sleep well?"
"Actually, Yes. It was very comfortable. Nice choice on the house."
"Thanks Ron."
Then, there was something in the distance flying towards them. Oh Great. Another owl coming. But this time it was addressed to Ron. Ron took the letter and opened the sealing. It was from George. They both took a huge breath and opened the letter. Ron started reading the letter. It took a long time for him to finish. Then, Ron put an odd expression on his face. "What does it say Ron?"
