Anything You Want
Ginny sat-up in her bed when her mom came rushing into her room. "Harry's awake and refuses anyone to come in until you are there." Mrs. Weasley threw a shirt and some jeans at her. "Hurry, I will meet you down in the kitchen"
Ginny's heart leapt, as she tossed her pajamas on the floor and slipped her clothes on. She ran to the bathroom, putting her hair into a ponytail along the way. After washing her face and brushing her teeth, she ran down the steps skipping two at a time. "Let's go mum" and the two jumped into the fireplace, hollered St. Mungo's, and disappearing with a flash of green smoke.
"Slow down Ginny, I can't go as fast anymore." Mrs. Weasley ordered, "He will still be there dear."
"Sorry I just can't wait." Ginny had slowed her pace, and the two women made their way to Harry's wing. As they rounded the corner, they say Moody and Tonks standing outside the doors to the Extreme Injuries ward. Tonks was sporting orange and green hair.
Moody opened the door "He's been driving everyone nuts, won't even let The Minister in until he sees you." Ginny just smiled at him making her way to Harry's room.

Harry was lying in bed as Ginny slipped in quietly closing the door behind her. "Hey how ya feeling?" her tears were starting to pool in her chocolate colored eyes.
"Better now you are here." He struggled to sit up but decided he did not have the strength. "I wanted to apologize to you before I spoke to anybody else."
She slipped her fingers in his, "apologize for what Harry?"
"I did something stupid and kept everybody worried. I understand if you are upset with me for leaving like I did, but I had to do it that way."
She kissed his forehead "Harry I am not going to say what you did was the smartest. However, the more I have thought about it the more I realize it had to be done. To top things off you beat Voldemort and nobody else got hurt."
Harry looked away "More people lost their lives than Voldemort." A tear ran down his cheek. "I killed everyone that was there that night, and made Voldemort beg for his life before I tortured and killed him too." He started crying heavily now. "I am a murderer, Ginny. I am no better than he was."
Ginny wrapped her arms around him "You did what had to be done. Everyone there was too dangerous to keep alive."
"I…" Harry stopped. "I know where the Horcruxes are. We need to destroy them before he regains his power."
"Shh, slow down. We will love, we'll we will get them before he does."
Harry sniffled, "Some hero I turned out to be" then he chuckled as he wiped his eyes. "I think I am just going to need some time until my remorse passes."
"That is what makes you better than him, you have remorse." She tilted his chin up so his eyes met hers, "The man I love saved the entire world, and he had to make some difficult choices along the way, but he made the right ones." She leaned over and kissed his lips. He returned the gesture and soon their tongues were slowly dancing with each other. Nothing else mattered in the world until Ron walked in. "Oh man can't you two even wait until Harry is out of here?"
Harry smiled at Ron "Hi mate, thanks for coming. Good to see ya."
"We have all been here in shifts waiting for you to wake your sleepy butt up. Of course Ginny has hogged most of that time." Ron looked at Ginny "Didn't ya"
Ginny giggled, "Well I had to make sure he was alright."
"Oh, mum wants to know if you feel up to more visitors yet Harry?"
"I guess as long as nobody gives me any reprove." Harry chuckled, knowing better.
After seeing all the Weasley's, accept for Charlie and Percy, Luna and Neville stopped in. Hermione and Ron sat with Harry and Ginny until Ron couldn't stay awake any longer then they went home, leaving Ginny alone with Harry. "Harry why don't you try to get some sleep I will be here when you wake up I promise." Ginny was running her fingers though his hair as he slipped off to sleep.
Ginny woke up stiff from sleeping in the chair. As she stretched Harry's voice broke the stillness. "Morning love"
She smiled and kissed his cheek "Good Morning"
A tall thing nurse popped in "Mr. Potter, the Minister is here to see you do you mind?"
"No send him in." Harry looked back to Ginny she was getting up to leave "You can stay."
She smiled at him "I am just going to freshen up I will be back in a couple minutes." She kissed his head and slipped out the door. A moment later, there was a knock on the door as it opened. The Minister of Magic entered the room holding his hat and a rather large envelope. "Good Morning Harry."
"Good morning Mr. Minister" Harry replied with a slight wave.
"Harry you know me. Call me Kingsley, May I sit?" He was pointing to the chair Ginny had just been in.
"Sure"
"Harry I am not going to beat around the bush, so I will get straight to the point. I am not here to drill you for information; all I want to know is…. Are you sure You-Know-Who is gone?"
"Minister…I mean Kingsley He is dead but can come back."
Kingsley's eyes widened "You mean he can come back…like before?"
Harry sat up some "Yes, but there is a way I can stop it, for good, and plan on doing so after I get out of here."
Kingsley stood up and began pacing "How can he do that?"
Harry watched as the tall man stopped pacing and returned to the chair. "I can't tell you everything because of a promise I made."
Kingsley looked up at him "A promise to Albus Dumbledore you mean?"
"Yes sir, Dumbledore. I can tell you Voldemort has found a way, it could be days or years before he returns, but he will return if I can't stop him."
Kingsley stood again and handed the envelope to Harry. "Harry you have the full support of myself and the Ministry. I promise you will get all the help you need with out interference. Just be careful."
Ginny was walking back into the room holding a cup.
Harry took the envelope from Kingsley "What's this?"
Wait to open it until you are feeling better." He chuckled "We don't want you going into shock and slipping back into that coma you were in. I will see you later Harry, bye Ginny."
"Bye Kingsley they both said."
She smirked at Harry "Want some coffee?"
"Er sure thanks" he said taking the cup from her, looking back down at the envelope, then handing it to her. "Love, will you open this for me, tell me if I should look inside?"
She took the envelope ripping the top off and peering inside "Holy shit Harry! I mean Merlin's beard" she began to blush and smile widely.
"I take it, its good news."
"Uh yes it's probably better than good." She pulled out a slip of paper, which Harry realized was a check. He looked at the check in Ginny's shaking hands

Harry read the letter twice to make sure he understood it clearly. "Ginny I, um I don't know what to say I am stunned." He looked up from the letter, Ginny was now crying. "What's the matter love?"
"Oh nothing, just me being stupid." She mopped her tears up.
"Gin I know what you are thinking and don't worry this money changes nothing about the way I feel for you. In fact, it will help us start a new life together after we destroy the Horcruxes. That reminds me, I need you to get Ron and Hermione here tomorrow. We all need to discuss what and where they are." Harry slipped the letter and the check back inside the envelope. "One other thing, I need my rucksack from my trunk at The Burrow. Would you mind bringing it to me?"
She kissed his hand "I will bring you anything you want."
