Ginny was wiping tears for her eyes when a though occurred to her, Harry must have been tired. What if he had gone back to his old dormitory in the Gryffindor tower? Surely the fat lady would have let him in after everything that had happened. Taking off at a run she reached the fat lady.

"Was Harry Potter here?" She was out of breath.

The fat lady nodded enthusiastically, "He sure was, the poor boy walked right up and asked for entrance. I let him in of course but I don't understand why he wasn't out celebrating."

She was still rambling when Ginny cut her off, "Do you mind letting me in?"

"Of course dearie." She was running through the whole when she heard the Fat Lady say, "ah young love."

Running up the stairs for the boys dorms she got a stitch in her side, but didn't let that stop her. She needed to see Harry, needed to hold him in her arms and make sure he really was alive. Make sure this was all real. When she reached the door she stopped just outside, a sudden thought striking her, what if he didn't want to see her? What if after everything that had happened he no longer felt anything towards her?

Steeling herself she opened the door silently. Sure enough he was lying there on the bed, his clothes were dirty and ripped, some parts even singed. His hair was long and unruly, his face dirty and bloody. His skin was pulled tight over his bones from lack of food but to her he looked amazing.

She drank him in for all it's worth and nearly jumped out of her skin when he talked, she could have sworn he had been sleeping, he'd looked so peaceful, "Are you just going to stand there all day watching me Ginny?"

"How did you know it was me?"

"Easy, Ron would have made a whole bunch of noise, and Hermione would have immediately started in on me being dirty and not celebrating with everyone. And besides you three I can't think of anyone who would come looking for me up here."

"What about Mum."

"She would have told me to get some food."

Ginny almost laughed, he was spot on. "You really should have something to eat though."

"Kreatcher brought me a sandwich."

"Oh." She gestured behind her even though his eyes were still closed. "Do you want me to leave so you could get some sleep?"

His eyes flew open immediately, his hand stretching out for her. "Come here."

She did, practically flying to his side and he pulled her onto the bed with him, cuddling her up to his side. "I missed you, so so much."

She smiled into his chest. "I missed you too." Then she sniffed, "But you really smell."

"Sorry." He grimaced, "Not many opportunities for showers when you're saving the world."

"It's fine." She fake sighed before becoming serious again, "I'm just so glad you're alive Harry. Why in the world did you have to scare me like that, pretending to be dead? I thought I'd lost you forever."

Harry stiffened and she lifted her head to look at him, "Can I tell you a secret Gin?" She nodded, "I need to tell someone what happened."

"Tell me."

So he did, starting at when they ran from the wedding at the Burrow. He told how they had to camp out hiding from view. He told of when Ron left them ("That git!" Ginny said) before coming back, only to destroy one horxcrux, which he also told her about. When he got to the part about Voldemort killing him Ginny denied it at first but then reluctantly believed him. How could she not? He would never lie to her. "And you saw what happened after. When I killed him."

"Oh god Harry. You had me so scared, coming back from the dead only to go face to face with Voldemort."

"Sorry." He smiled down to her, "It really couldn't be helped."

"I know, I know." She put a hand on his chest and poked him. He winced, "What?"

"Want to see something else?"

She nodded and he started to unbutton his shirt, "What are you doing?"

"Don't worry; I'm not going to strip in front of you." He opened up the top of his shirt and showed her what was inside.

"What is that?"

Harry closed the shirt back up, "The horcrux Ron destroyed with the sword."

"Now you have two scars."

"At least I made it out alive."

"I'm glad you did. I don't know what I would have done without you."

Harry rolled over to face her and gave her a kiss, slow and gentle. "I'd have missed you too."

"I love you Harry." She held her breath waiting for him to reject her but he didn't even hesitate.

"I love you too." They kissed a while longer before just lying there. Basking in the fact that they were both alive, and had their whole lives to live.

Then Ginny had a thought and turned to him. "I just have one question."

"Anything."

"Expelliarmus?"

"It worked didn't it!" He tickled her until they were both breathless.
