Harry walked into the kitchen and sat down opposite Ginny. Taking a deep breath he asked "How much did Dumbledore tell you in that letter Ginny?"

"All of it" was her reply

"Where do you want me to start Ginny? What do you want to know?"

"From the beginning might be a start and don't leave anything out this time"

"Fine, the prophecy was the reason Voldemort went after me in the first place. When he tried to kill me he marked me as his equal, thus giving me this scar…."

For the next two hours Harry told Ginny his life story, being careful not to leave anything out. He told her about the Horocruxes, explained the prophecy and finally he told her everything else about his life including the way he felt for the last 17 years. By the time he had finished telling her Ginny had gone very pale, so pale in fact that he thought she would faint. Harry got and went to her; he crouched down in front of her. "Ginny?" he whispered. Ginny looked at him straight in the eye and asked "Why did you keep this from me Harry, why?"

""I didn't want you to get hurt"
"What do you think you are doing then Harry? I am not angry, upset or scared about anything you just told me. In a way I'm relieved that I know the truth. I am hurt that you decided to keep the truth from me but you don't understand Harry" Her words hit their mark. Harry had expected her to run when he told her this but no not Ginny; she looked him straight in the eye and put a fight. "I guess I should have known" he thought.

Harry looked into Ginny's eyes. He could see the hurt and the anger; there was one thing he didn't expect to see – Love.

"I do understand Ginny; I understand more than you know"

"Then why Harry?" her tears now falling freely

"Because Ginny, Voldemort uses people who are close to me to get what he wants. I have lost too many people Ginny, I can't lose you too."

"Harry your greatest strength is your ability to love and to be loved. If you push me away and if you push all those who care for you away, you will have nothing left to fight for. You say you can't bare to see me die, but by pushing me away you unknowingly do exactly what Voldemort wants. I am safer with you Harry than anywhere else and if I have to give you the letter to prove it then I will. You need to understand Harry that if you push me away then Voldemort has already won."

Her words hit Harry with full force. She loved him with all her heart he knew that now.

When Harry didn't reply she continued "Harry Dumbledore once told you that there will come a time when you have to choose between what is right and what is easy. I never said this would be easy Harry, but it's right. I know that in my heart and I know that deep down you do too. You can try to push me away Harry but I will never let you and I will never stop loving you. Don't push me away because of something you have no control over. Let me into your heart Harry, for once in your life let someone into your heart!"

Harry caught her tears with his thumb and looked her in the eye. Her tears now falling like never before. He put his arms around her and held her tight as she wept into his shoulder. He knew at that moment that she was right. That if he pushed her away Voldemort had already won. They sat there until she had no more tears to shead.

Harry looked her in the eyes and said "I love you Ginny, with all my heart"

"I love you too." Was all she could say before he kissed her. As he did they let their love pour into each others hearts and surround them. The house glowed gold and the light surrounded then, only disappearing when they broke apart and when they did they looked into each others eyes and they knew their souls were one.
