Quote #5

Ginny was just cleaning up the table from breakfast when Harry flooed in and ran into the kitchen. Normally, Ginny would have been upset that Harry missed breakfast, she didn't like that he would work through the night. But today was for a different matter.

"So…" she asked nervously, but when she looked up at him, he simply shook his hand. "Ugh!" she threw the dish towel on the counter. "You know what, this isn't fair! You just got back from some mission! I don't care if you and Ron are still starting out as Aurors! You bloody saved the freeking WORLD that should bloody count for something!" She was red in the face now, angry as ever.

Harry didn't know what to say. He tried for hours with Kingsley, he and Ron. They had just gotten home about a month ago. But this mission that they were being sent on required him and a couple other higher graded teams.

"I miss you," Ginny said. Harry sighed and stepped forward, engulfing her in a tight hug.

"I miss you too," Harry said, kissing the top of her head.


Ginny watched as Harry packed his things in a small bag. Eventually, she would come to terms with how this was what her life would be like from now until Harry retired. When his things were packed, she walked with him to the fire place where he would floo to the Ministry.

"How long this time?" Ginny asked as she pulled Harry into a hug.

"Kingsley says 6 weeks," Harry said. Ginny sighed. That was far too long. Harry stepped into the fireplace.

"I love you," Ginny said as she handed Harry the floo powder pot.

"Love you too," Harry smiled at her. He closed his glasses and put them in his pocket and grimaced. Ginny had to giggle; she knew how much Harry hated flooing.

"Well, here's looking at you kid," Harry smiled. Ginny stepped back. "Ministry of Magic!" and Ginny watched as her husband was engulfed in a burst of green fire, wondering if she'd ever see him again.


"Here's looking at you, kid." – Casablanca
