Disclaimer: Nope, don't own it so you can send the lawyers home now.

The next morning, Ginny was tossing and turning in her bed. She felt a hand on her shoulder and quickly opened her eyes, gasping for breath and sat up in bed. She looked around franticly before her eyes found Hermione sitting on the edge of her bed. Ginny wiped cold sweat off her brow and sighed.

"Are you alright Ginny?" Hermione asked. Worry was scetched across her face. When Ginny didn't answer, she asked agian.

Ginny looked at the wall. She remembered everthing from her nightmare. "I-I think i'll be alright." She looked out the window. The sun was barely up yet.

"You started screaming a minute ago. REally badly acctually." Hermione said. She was in fact, still in her pajamas, meaning Ginny had woken her. "Are you sure you're-"

Hermione was inturrupted when Ron came running into the room followed quickly by Harry. "What's wrong? Who was screaming? What happened?" Ron asked. Her seemed really worried also and was talking a little louder then normal.

"Nothing Ron." Ginny said. This earned her a glare from Hermione.

Apperantly, it was up to Hermione to set everything straight. "Ginny must've had a nightmare. She was tossing and turning. I woke her up when she started screaming a minute ago. She was sweating and looked really scared. I'm still trying to find out what had her so scared.

"Are you alright?" Harry spoke for the first time. Ginny had hardly noticed when he and Ron had walked in. She was to busy remembering the dream. When she looked at Harry, her face switched from confusion and fright to happiness.

Ginny threw her covers off and ran to Harry giving him a great big hug. "You're alright!" She cried.

Harry was confused. When hadn't he been alright? He saw Hermione and Ron exchange confused looks. He hugged Ginny back shooting looks at Ron and Hermione. They shook they're heads as if to say 'We don't know.'

Ginny pulled away embarassed and then looked at Hermione and Ron. "I'd better go shower." She said quickly. She grabbed her wand and took off down the hall way.

Hermion and Ron looked at Harry who had a small smile playing on his lips. Hermione looked at him sternly. "She's worried about you Harry. She knows we're up to something. And you know, you should never have broken up with her."

"Yea mate. Even though I am her older brother, I still think you two were good together. And besides, knowing Ginny, she's gunna do something to prove you wrong. It's risky business once you get mixed in with her." Ron said shaking his head at the ground. He sighed. "Anyway, what do we know about the next horcrux?"

Ron, Hermione, and Harry spent the next 15 minutes talking about the horcruxes and the possible areas they might be and what they might be. They were inturrupted by a shriek at the door. They all turned to see a dripping Ginny in nothing but a small towel at the door.

"What are you people still doing in here!" She hissed angerly. She was blushing up to her ears, but Harry suspected some of that read was rage. "GET OUT!" She screamed. Ron scrambled for the door with Harry matching his pace. Ginny wacked them both on the heads as they ran out. Ginny did not find this funny or entertaining, but Hermione did. She was rolling on the bed in laughter.

"It's. Not. FUNNY!" Ginny said through gritted teeth. Hermione just laughed louder. Ginny walked to her closet and grabbed some clothes and threw them on the bed before grabbing a brush and attempting to pull her hair in a ponytail while keeping the towel on.

Hermione finally calmed down and smiled at Ginny in the mirror. "No, but Harry's face was. Don't worry, he'll come around. I'd really like to know about that dream though. If you're willing to tell of course. I am your best friend and therefore the best to confide in." And with that, she walked out the door still giggling.

Ginny grumbled as she got dressed and sat on her bed looking out the window. The sun had finally risen and Mrs. Wealsey would be downstairs cooking breakfast by now. Ginny sulked on the way downstairs and walked into a kitchen full of laughing redheads, with the exceptions of Harry and Hermione. Once everyone looked at Ginny they stopped laughing.

With all eyes on her, she crossed to her seat between Hermione and Harry and grabbed what was left of the food.

"So, we heard-" Fred began.

"You had a nightmare." His twin finished. "And we were wondering-"

"What it was about." Fred said. Everyone turned from the twins to look at Ginny. Hermione showed a face of complete interest, while Harry looked concerned and curious. Ron looked semi-inerested, but was clearly more interested in Ginny's food. The other Weasleys were somewhere between Ron's emotions and Hermione's.

In order to keep from answering the question, Ginny stuffed a pancake in her mouth, chewing quickly before she swallowed and took a great swig from her glass of pumpkin juice, complimented her mother, and walked outside leaving a few very confused Weasleys, a sad Ron (she of course had only the one pancake on her plate), an even more confused Harry, and a fairly startled and fuming Hermione.

Ginny walked out to the pond and began to skip rocks. Hermione came out a little while later and sat next to Ginny watching her throw the rocks. Ginny ignored her presence for a while before she was overcome with sorrow and guilt for not confiding in the girl next to her. She skipped one last rock throwing it to hard out of frustration causing it to hit the water and sink before she plopped down next to Hermione and gave a loud sigh. Ginny layed down on her back and thought for a while before she spoke.

"It was about the final battle." Ginny said as Hermione layed down next to her. Ginny staired at the top of a tree, but out of the corner of her eye she could see Hermione look at her. She continued. "We were all there of course. But, Harry was hurt, bad. By Bellatrix. She was going to kill him, but not before I took her out. You were too busy with Malfoy and Ron had two others agianst him. No one noticed. But then, he came. It was aweful. He simply pointed his wand and three Order members died instantly. Harry was too weak. Voldemort had it easy. But I couldn't let anything happen to him. I was helping Harry up when Voldemort turned on us. He tried to get rid of me but nothing seemed to work. He didn't know why, but nothing did. It was because of love Hermione. Because I kept telling Harry that I love him. Voldemort couldn't touch him. Not with me there. And then, Malfoy appeared. You were unconcious, though not dead. He grabbed me and Harry was weak agian. Voldemort tortured him, and I could do nothing. Malfoy turned on me and just kept saying crucio over and over agian. It was horrible. I was bleeding everywhere but I could only think about Harry. I got away from Malfoy only because he picked me up and I kicked him hard in- well, you get the point- and I ran to Harry. He wasn't doing good. I grabbed him and just, kissed him. I don't know why but I did. And all of a sudden, he started to glow and he pointed his wand at Voldemort and- and he did it. There was a burst of light, and then everyone was thrown backwards and I didn't know what happened. When I came to, Harry and I were alone on the ground. We were both pretty bad off, but I dragged myself the 5 feet to him and screamed for help. Someone came and saw us and took off running yelling for help. Harry was pale and cold and I could hardly make out a pulse. He was dieing, and I didn't know what to do. And before I knew it, I was being dragged away and people were trying to cure me but i just kept looking for Harry. People were shouting that he was dieing and they had to work fast and He wasn't going to make it and then, I woke up. That was it." Ginny choked, just realizing she had started to cry.

Hermione looked at Ginny, shocked. "Ginny, it's not going to be that bad. Nothing bad is going to happen." She reasured her. But Ginny could hear the uncertanty in her voice. Hermione looked to the tree line and they heard a twig snap. Ginny spun around and saw Harry, standing there looking mortified and angry and sad. Hermione stood and started to walk back to the house.

Ginny couldn't believe Harry had heard all of that. She quickly wipped her eyes, but it was useless. The tears just continued to fall. She stood getting ready to take off to the house but was stopped. Harry grabbed her wrist and spun her around.

"I'm never letting anything like that happen to you Ginny. Never." That was all he said before he wrapped his arms around her and she sobbed onto his shoulder. When Ginny had finally stopped crying, Harry led her back to the house and up to her room where she fell asleep due to exastion.
