In the previous chapter...
She dashed towards him and threw her arms around him. The next second Fred was kissing her. Ron was at a loss for words. But he seemed to find his voice.
"WHAT THE BLOODY HELL ARE YOU DOING?"
CHAPTER 3: THEIR NEXT ADVENTURE
"I thought you just danced." He said, his voice sounded miserable now.
Hermione looked extremely guilty. He eyes were shining. "I'm sorry, Ron."
"But…why?" The look on his face made it worse than if he had shouted. Hermione gave a sniff.
"Because I was sick of waiting! Seven years you had a million chances, but you never took one! Maybe it's a shock to you, but someone else seems to like me! He saw his chance and took it!" Ron rounded on Fred. His face changed from miserable to angry.
"How could you? You knew too! I told you last summer! Were you just on the rebound from Angelina!" Fred looked like he's had enough of this. He stepped forward so he and Ron were almost nose to nose.
"Do you honestly think I would do something like this if I didn't have a reason for it!" Ron just glared at him.
"Yes, I felt entirely guilty but I didn't regret it! You may be surprised to know that YOU are the only problem here! Everyone ELSE doesn't seem to have a PROBLEM with it!" He shouted. Ron's face fell. He looked around at the others.
"You mean, you guys knew?" He asked them. Harry looked down at his spoon. Everyone else was avoiding his gaze too.
"I see how it is." He turned around and slammed the door on his way out. Hermione ran after him. Everyone looked up at Fred.
"That was uncalled for, the 'you're the only problem here' thing." Ginny said looking up at Fred. Fred pulled up a chair and sat down in it.
"I was angry. He really believed I just decided 'Hey, I think I'll steal Hermione.'" He gave a deep sigh and placed his head in his hands. "He thought she was just a rebound girl..." he muttered to himself.
"You really like her don't you?" Harry said, amazed at how sensitive Fred was being about this. Fred looked up at him.
"This is going to sound crazy…" Fred said, shaking his head.
Harry said, "Go on."
"I love her. And I think…" He shook his head. "No, I'm being stupid…" Ginny placed her hand on his.
"What is it, Fred?" she asked, her eyes full of concern.
"I think she's…'The One.'" There was silence. They hadn't expected this.
"Really?" Ginny said, amazed. Fred nodded. "Wow…"
Silence fell around the table. As they all sat in their silence all that could be heard was the dim sound of shouting from outside.
Harry woke up early the next day. Ron was still lying in his bed snoring loudly and muttering incomprehensibly. Harry shook him by the shoulders.
"Ron, get up. We have to leave." He said, trying to rouse the still sleeping Ron. "Ron! Come on, mate. Don't make me jinx you!" He said tapping hard on the head repeatedly. "Ron!" he said slightly louder than he intended to. Ron blinked sleepily. Harry told him to get up and made his way towards the girls room.
Harry did not want to just open the door, but he did not want to wake Ginny either. Harry hesitantly opened the door. Hermione was definitely not having a great sleep. She was tossing and turning and muttering.Harry gently shook her shoulder and whispered, "Hermione…" she screwed up her face in a 'No-I-don't-want-to-get-up-yet' kind of way. "Come on, Hermione. We have to go." She sat up wearily. Her bushy hair look like a lion's mane even more bushed out around her head. She muttered, "Okay, I'm getting up…" Harry stole a glance at Ginny before he left the room.
Harry entered the kitchen and grabbed a quill and a piece of parchment. Thinking for a little bit, he started writing…
Dear Ginny,
We had to leave early today and I didn't want to wake you. I'm not sure how long we'll be gone. I just wanted to say good-bye. I'll try to visit when I can. Just remember that I love you and I will be coming back for you. I have to go now. Say hi to everyone for me. Ron and Hermione send their love.
I LOVE YOU,
Harry
Harry dashed up to Ginny's room and left the note on the nightstand next to her bed. His handed bumped the side of a book that landed with a loud thud on the ground. Harry squeezed his eyes shut. He heard Ginny stir.
"Harry?" He opened his eyes.
"Hi, Gin," said Harry. She rubbed her eyes and yawned.
"What time is it?" she asked wearily sitting up.
"It's about five o'clock." He said sitting on the edge of her bed. She slumped back against her pillows.
"What are you doing up so early?"
"We're leaving." She sat up again. Her sleepy expression was gone and replaced by worry and sadness.
"You mean now?" Harry nodded. She slipped her arms around his neck and bit her lip to keep herself from crying. Harry wrapped his arms around her.
"Wait for me, okay?" He said into her hair. He felt her nod. "I have to go. Ron and Hermione are waiting downstairs." He kissed her forehead and made towards the door. He stopped in the door frame and turned around. He walked back to her and kissed her. Before she could kiss him back, however, he had already pulled away and disappeared out the door.
Harry found Ron and Hermione standing in the kitchen sitting silently at the table avoiding the other's eyes. Harry nodded to them. As a three, they stood in the middle of the kitchen. With a crack, they were on their way to Godric's Hollow.
It was not as Harry had pictured in his mind. He had imagined a scene of destruction and ruins, but the town was still standing. It was not abandoned either. But where the Potter house should have been, was and memorial. Harry walked up to it and knelt down before the stone.

"Death is just life's next big adventure."
Harry pulled out his wand and tapped the ground with it. A second later, a rose had risen from the ground. Hermione came up from behind and gave his hand a reassuring squeeze. Ron came to his other side and put his hand on Harry's shoulder in an encouraging way. The trio sat there for a long time before setting off to start their next big adventure…
A/N: Sorry about the short chapter. The next one is well on it's way and shall be up soon! I don't like how this one turned out very much at all. The next one will be better!
In response to the gasps of horror from all the R/Hr people, keep reading! For I am a proud sailor on the ship of R/Hr. As I said before, Chapter Four (heehee. I rhymed) will be up shortly. There will be a big time skip coming ahead too. Nota BIG one, but a fair couple months. TahTah Emmy
