A/N thank you for all your kind words of support from the following people Kayla/Grizgirl, kp, HProx and carolquin. Now people aren't going to like this so I'm going to say one thing before you criticize my judgment. First of all I did this for a reason, mostly because it gives me some lee-way in the way I do this fanfic, it also gives me more space for this to advance (after) into maybe a sequel, but that's a big maybe. Ok if you're wondering what I'm talking about, is that I'm talking about if Harry and co are going back to Hogwarts or not. Now this was a big decision for me because I knew it could change the fanfic in a total different direction. Ok this is what I've decided…

Disclaimer: AHHHH! Doing you really think I'm the famous and amazing J.K? Of course not!

Ginny was staring out her window onto a very dry garden. She sighed as she thought of a certain black haired and green-eyed boy who was in a room only floors above hers. Most people would find Ginny's behaviour towards the boy bizarre and unusual for someone who supposedly loves him.

Most people would think Just tell the boy you love him and will always!

But Ginny wasn't in the same situation as many girls her age, for she was in love with the boy-who-lived now dubbed the chosen one.

I can't take it anymore! Why aren't I talking to him or even worse… why aren't I even looking at him!

While Ginny was staring out the window her door creaked open revealing Hermione.

Ginny didn't need to turn around to know who it was and said quietly "Not now Hermione!"

Hermione ignored this statement and came next to Ginny "Ginny I'm not going to help you with your problem with Harry, you need to do this all by yourself! Just talk… miracles can happen, if you just talk!"

Ginny didn't bother to turn around "He left me, I knew why and I understood why, but even now when You-know-who's gone, he still hasn't even bothered to see how I am, how I feel…" A cold chill went down her spine talking about Harry.

Hermione looked out to the garden "He loves you Ginny… that's why he's staying away… to keep you safe…"

Ginny laughed a cold bitter laugh "oh yeah? From what? From who? I'm not scared!"

Hermione smiled slightly at Ginny's behaviour "You may not be scared of dying Ginny… but you are scared of losing Harry. All he's trying to do is if he goes and never comes back he wants you to move on… and yes most of all he doesn't want you to get hurt… you must understand-"

Ginny interrupted at this point "I do understand! I do! That's why I want him away from it all… away from the order, away from the ministry and especially, away from the battlefield! If he's away from those things-"

"He will never have to leave you again?" Hermione asked smugly and for the first time since Hermione had entered the room Ginny had looked at her. Yes it was a small glance in Hermione's direction but a look none-the-less.

Hermione smiled as Ginny said in a whisper "yes…"

Hermione looked at Ginny's red hair since Ginny was now facing away again "Ginny, don't you see? Harry's a marked man! Even if he left all you ask for so then he wouldn't have to worry about you, he would still be hunted down!"

Ginny didn't say anything for a minute. She then answered as softly as she would dare speak "Yes… I see what you mean. I had forgotten about that…" Ginny turned to Hermione, and for the first time since Hermione could remember, Ginny was scared. Hermione looked deeply into the tear glistening brown eyes "Don't worry about Harry. He will be fine. He survived V-V-Voldemort, he's bound to survive whatever else is thrown at him."

Ginny took away the tears from her eyes "yeah… you're right Hermione…"

Hermione went to the door and just before closing it behind her she said "Well, even if you want to see him or not, you're going to have to, because you both will have to come down for food at one stage… and the next meal time is in… oh, about 20 minutes." Hermione then shut the door, but not before she saw Ginny's bewildered face.

As the door closed Ginny thought that in 20 minutes she was going to have to face her inner-demons.

A/N ok so I lied! I said I was going to tell you if they are going to Hogwarts or not, but it was a good place to finish a chapter. You're most likely going to find out in a few chapters from now if they are going on not to Hogwarts. If you haven't reviewed yet please don't be shy!
