Ginny cuddled Teddy tight. It was a relatively warm night out but she loved hugging him tight, it made her feel special to be able to protect someone. She walked over to the Apparation point, just outside the gate and waited. She hadn't seen Harry in over a month, and even though they kept in touch through the two-way mirrors Harry had gotten from Sirius it wasn't the same. She knew Hermione felt the same way and she guessed Harry and Ron did as well. She still stood by her decision to go back for the last year and also supported Harry's choice to start Auror training. Part of her wished he had chosen to come back for the last year, but she knew he wanted to start training and she didn't really mind all that much. She allowed her mind to wander back to the morning after the Last Battle.

She had gone up to find Harry and found him asleep in his Gryffindor bed; she had laid down next to him and closed her eyes; just letting his warm body touch hers was enough to reassure her that he was still here. Later, when he had woken up they had faced each other and just stared at each other for a while, neither believing it could really all be over. When Harry finally broke the silence she buried her head in his chest and listened to the voice, filled with sorrow and guilt, but finally free of dread and burden.

"Listen Ginny, I understand if you never want to have anything to do with me again..."

Her head shot up at that. She lent away and gave him her fiercest look ever, then moved in and kissed him lightly on the lips.

"Harry James Potter. If you ever scare me like that again I will send the worst Bat Bogey Hex ever cursed right at that gorgeous face and hit you over the head with your own broom."

Harry looked slightly scared and his eyes were nervous, as if he was unsure as to whether or not she was joking. The slight smile that escaped her stern face was the sign to tell him she was messing around. "I love you Ginny."

She hugged Teddy tighter, re-living those few magic words. Since then they had said them countless times to each other. In the Three Broomsticks, cleaning up Hogwarts, shopping in Diagon Alley, at the award ceremony that recognized all the DA, and at the countless funerals and memorial services that had been held for the victims of that terrible night. She never ceased to be amazed at the fact that every time the words still felt beautiful and amazing. She was distracted from her memories by footsteps behind her. She held Teddy on her hip and stepped behind a tree, peering out to see who it was. She saw the tip of a wand, lit up and behind that... Hermione.

Breathing a sigh of relief she stepped out and waved to her.

"Hermione! You scared the life out of me!"

"Sorry Ginny, your mother told me to come out and find you. She said she didn't want you out on your own."

Ginny rolled her eyes at the over-protective behaviour of her parents that came with being the youngest child and only daughter. "Well, now you can meet Ron as well. I bet he's dying to see you."

Hermione blushed a little at this, despite the fact she and Ron had officially been a "couple" since the Last Battle, she still blushed whenever anyone mentioned it. Hence the reason Ginny brought it up as often as humanly possible. "Yeah, like you didn't rush out here to meet Harry."

"Did I deny that Professor Granger?"

Hermione giggled as did Ginny, the sudden formality was a reminder of just how weird it often was in school, to have to treat each other so differently. Ginny sighed, she missed being able to talk to Hermione at night and discussing their love-lives. She had never had a sister and both Hermione and Tonks had come so close to being just that.

"Come on Ginny, we're not in school now, and having to call you "Weasley" isn't much fun either!"

"Not as bad as Professor!"

"Well, maybe not, but I have to tell you off more than I do any other student I teach! Your lucky I didn't tell your mother!"

"Aw, come on Hermione. You wouldn't do that! And anyway, I'm not THAT bad!"

Ginny stuck her tongue out as Hermione rolled her eyes, both giggling. Teddy opened his eyes suddenly and put his arms up to Ginny's neck, crunching his fists into tiny tight little balls. Hermione ruffled his hair, now blond and curly, and Ginny tickled his tummy. Just simple pleasures that came at no great cost were such a comfort now thought both girls, after so much pain and death, such little joys could still be found.

Without warning two bodies suddenly materialized a few feet away and although both were expected it still made the girls jump at the loud cracks that resounded through the air. Ginny ran over to Harry and hugged him round the middle, squashing Teddy in between them. Hermione did much the same, only a little more confined, until that is Ron lifted her off her feet and spun her round and she giggled and kissed his nose. The foursome greeted each other and exchanged recent news before heading back to the warmth of the Burrow and the taste of creamy tomato soup.
