Harry looked up at the starry sky, sadness overwhelming him. He had tried not to think of Ginny too much, but having her brought up in a conversation like that had struck him completely off guard; it was like having someone come up behind him and blast him with the Cruciatus Curse.
He fell back onto the sand, a sigh escaping his lips. He would give anything to see her again, to talk to her…
"Seats 30 through 40 may now board."
"That's you! Gather your things!" The airport terminal was in chaos as Mrs. Weasley ushered everyone onto the plane. Tears were streaming down her face as she realized that her children (and Harry and Hermione included) were growing up, and were off to find the Dark Lord himself. Mr. Weasley came up and put his arm around her waist. Attempting to console her, he said, "They really are growing up, Molly. You have to let go."
Molly sobbed and continued to usher everyone onto the plane Harry slipped out of her sight over to where one person stood in the corner. As he approached the lone figure, he realized that she was crying.
"Ginny, what's wrong?" Harry asked, genuinely concerned. He had never stopped loving her, and to see her upset made him sick.
She looked up at him, her eyes shining with tears. She whispered hoarsely, "I don't want any of you to get hurt."
Harry pulled her into a hug before realizing what he was doing. She sobbed into his shoulder and he felt tears of his own roll down his cheeks. He quickly wiped them away, though. He didn't want Ginny to see him like this. He pulled apart from her and said, "I have something for you."
He reached into the pocket of his coat and pulled out a ruby red diary. As he handed it to her she looked questioningly into his eyes and asked, "What's this?"
"It's a diary, of course!" Harry replied. Ginny laughed and Harry continued, "I have one just like it. When you write in yours, it will appear in mine, and vise-versa. This way we can communicate with each other."
"Oh, Harry, it's wonderful!" Ginny exclaimed, and hugged him tightly.
Suddenly, Harry bolted up right and dashed down the beach. He couldn't believe he had forgotten.
Author's Notes:
Sorry for the long wait! And sorry this was so short. I've recently been through a very hard heartbreak. I hope you can all forgive me. I'm trying to put my sadness into writing, but I can't stop thinking about him…
I'll try to update ASAP. Hope everyone enjoyed this (short) chapter.
