Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter

Harry trudged up the stairs to Dumbledore's office, half supporting Ginny and holding the diary and a bloody sword. He knocked and heard the usual "Come in." Harry opened the door to see not only Dumbledore but also his parents.

As soon as James saw his son, he jumped up and came over. Lily gently took Ginny and laid her down one of the chairs. Harry laid the diary and sword on Dumbledore's desk and went over to give his parents a hug. "We were so worried about you." Lily managed to choke out. Harry smiled but then turned to Dumbledore.

"Ron and Lockhart are at the bottom of the stairs. Lockhart kind of, uh, lost his memory when a spell backfired." Dumbledore nodded.

"I'll see to them. But as of right now I think you and Ms. Weasley here should get to the Hospital Wing."

"Yes, sir"

Harry spent the next few days at Ginny's bedside. Although Madame Pomfrey insisted he get rest he wanted to make sure she was alright. "Harry, you really should go to the feast" Lily whispered in his ear. He was still beside Ginny, who was still sleeping. Harry shook his head, he didn't want to. What if Ginny woke up while he was gone? No he couldn't risk it.

"Come on son," James said, grabbing Harry by the shoulders and leading him out of the hospital.

"Harry?" A small voice whispered from across the hospital wing. Harry spun around a saw a girl with long red hair and big brown eyes looking back at him.

"Ginny! You're awake!" Harry ran over to her. "Are you okay? Do you want me to get you anything? Water? Pumpkin juice? How about-"

"Harry," Ginny cut him off, "I'm fine. Let's go to the feast." She smiled and grabbed his hand, purposefully avoiding Madame Pomfrey so that she could go.

Once they were down at the feast, Ginny seemed alright. She was excited to see Hermione awake and Hagrid back at Hogwarts and enjoyed the great food supplied by the house elves. She seemed pretty normal for the most part, besides being a little tired looking.

As they started down towards the carriages, Ginny pulled Harry aside. "Thank you Harry," She whispered as she gave him a bear hug, "For everything. I was so scared until I saw you down in the Chamber. You saved me." She gave him a kiss on the cheek and they both hurried toward the last carriage.

The entire ride home, Harry couldn't stop thinking about Ginny, even when his eyebrows were almost singed off in a game of Exploding Snap. She kissed him…did that mean she felt something for him? She did during the summer…but did she feel different now? Before he knew it, Harry had lost a solid twenty-three chess matches to Ron and they were arriving at King's Cross. Harry said good bye to Ron and smiled and waved bye to Ginny before heading over to his parents and Kat.

"You like her don't you?" Kat's sudden outburst caused Harry to jump.

"Huh? No…I mean...yes…I mean no…I mean I don't know!"

"So you do like her!"

"Quiet! Someone might hear you!" Kat rolled her eyes at her brother's comment but shut up all the same. This was going to be an interesting summer…
