Chapter 5

Hermione was surprised to see Harry's new attitude. She didn't want her husband to create a fuss on the day of the ball, so she had reasoned with him in their earlier conversation. She was very happy to see him so genuinely enjoying himself, but something kept nagging in the back of her mind. Something was missing. She just couldn't place her finger on it.

She smiled as she saw her husband and her best friend talk about the good old days. Nostalgia filled her mind as she looked around the big hall room again. Was it just a few years ago, Ginny and herself had gotten themselves ready for the ball. Ginny's cheerful laughter still rang in her ears. She remembered how it was during the ball that she had discovered the marks on Ginny's back. She was broken out of her reverie by Harry's voice.

"Can I get you a drink, Mrs. Weasley?" he asked his eyes shining back with the old twinkle she hadn't seen for so many years since Ginny died. She smiled at him and nodded her head. " Yes you may Mr. Potter." she said.

Ron put his arms around her affectionately " Hey quit flirting with my wife and go get the drinks!" he ordered in good humour. Harry laughed and giving them a fake salute walked over to get drinks.

As Hermione watched him, her heart clenched as she remembered the promise she had made to Ginny. Her words still clear in her mind like it had happened yesterday

"Take care of Harry for me I am more afraid for him than I am afraid to die". She would keep her promise made to her best friend and confidant. She would get to the bottom of this she thought to herself.

" Having fun love?" Harry asked his wife quietly while getting the drinks for his friends.

Ginny sighed contentedly and put her head on his shoulders. " It's one of the best evenings I ever had. And it's all because of you." she said smiling up at him. Harry smiled.

" I would really like to kiss you right now." he whispered.

"Then why don't you, I don't think Hermione and Ron will notice too much if you are a bit late, noting that Ronald had just started talking about Chudley's latest match to Seamus and he never shuts up about them." she said giving a fond look towards her brother.

Harry's eyes followed hers, and she was right. Ron was on about Cannon's losing another game yet again. He also saw Hermione being quite engaged her self in a deep conversation with Mcgonogall. He could guess what they were talking about.

He shook his head and chuckled.

" You are right, let's go outside.." he said leading her out the doors swiftly. She laughed as she whispered. " I always am dear."

Ginny look enchanting in the moon light. Her halo over her head was more prominent, and with her flowing white dress looked like an angel from heaven. " Well " she started looking at him, but was soon shut up by his lips gently pressing on to hers. She smiled into the kiss, but Harry could detect a hint of sadness.

He gently lifted up her chin to meet her eyes, " You miss them." he told her softly. It wasn't a question and both were aware of it.

Ginny nodded. " Sometimes it's just so hard" she said quietly, " to be here so close and not talk to them, not hug them, not tease them, not ..." she stopped. " I am sorry Harry, I am ruining this perfect evening by bringing up sad things." she finished.

" Hey, it's ok...who ever said perfection does not have imperfect moments." He joked. But then his face grew serious, " But I understand Ginny, they were your family, you knew them way before you knew. I would have given up everything in the world to have a family like that, and I feel so lucky to become a part of yours, how can you think I will feel upset with you for missing them. Heck when I can miss not having parents at all I can imagine how hard it can be to have a family and to give it all up." he said pulling her close to his chest, her sweet vanilla scent reaching up to his nose. " But don't give up Ginny...I will make this work, you will see." He whispered quietly in her ears.

She looked at him mistly eyed, with her smile on her face. " Thank you Harry" she said and stood up on her tippy toes to kiss him on the cheek. " We should head back, I know Ron won't notice your absence, but Hermione sure will." she said giggling softly.

He laughed. " Yea, I wonder what Mcgonogall is telling her now. What do you think will happen Gin?" he asked as they started walking back.

" I don't know Harry, but Hermione is a clever girl we will let her work it out." she said as they reached the doors.
