I could not bear to look Ginny in the eye. "Ginny we need to talk" I said. Ginny bit her lip nervously and I couldn't help but groan "how does she do this to me" I wondered. "What is it" Ginny said, I cringed at the nervousness in her voice covered by fake confidence; trust Ginny to always seem strong.
I took a deep breath and exhaled "Ginny I..." however I was interrupted by a booming voice that echoed around the street. It was Hagrid. "Harry" Hagrid shouted. I didn't know if I was happy or annoyed for his interruption. Hagrid ran through the alley barely avoiding knocking people over. He reached us panting for breath and said " He's free". I stared at him in shock and felt Ginny grab my arm. "Who Hagrid, who?" I shouted, "Malfoy" he replied.
Ginny gasped behind me in shock and fear. I took her in my arms and kissed her on the forehead trying to comfort her in any way possible. He's free I thought. Suddenly all the letters sent to me added up, it was him. Malfoy. He said he would kill the person closest to me. One name flashed in my head like a neon light, Ginny. I remembered the letter s and the argument I had with Ginny when she wanted to see it.
Flashback
I was sitting in Ginny's bedroom at the Burrow, where she had told me to wait as she helped her mum in the kitchen. It was Christmas. I could hear Molly rushing about and ordering Ginny to do things and Ginny's sarcastic replies. I smiled and lent back on the chair I was sitting on. Just as I opened my eyes I heard a rustle and an owl flew through the open window and landed on Ginny's desk, it poked out its leg and gave a small, quit hoot.
I reached out and took the small piece of parchment of its leg. I noticed it had my name on so I opened it. It read, revenge is swift such as my revenge on you, watch your closest ones for they will feel for your crimes. The writing was splotched in places as if written in anger. I took a shuddering breath." Who sent this to me?" I said aloud. The war was meant to be over I had killed Voldemort, and the Death Eaters were in prison. "Why does everything happen to me?" I questioned aloud.
"What happens to you" I suddenly heard, I spun my head around and saw Ginny. "What?" I said. She ignored my question and asked one of her own "What's that in your hand" pointing at the letter in my hand.
I quickly stuffed the letter in my pocket and said "it's nothing". But Ginny was not to be deterred so easily, she walked over to me and reached for my pocket whilst saying"come on what is it?"
"I said it was nothing" I snapped whilst stepping away from her. I regretted it as soon as I said it. Her eyes filled with tears and she spun around and fled down the stairs.
I sat down on her bed with my head in my hands and sighed in anger and frustration. Why do I always muck things up? I thought.
End Flashback
I had quickly gone downstairs after that argument and had begged for her forgiveness, I had put that letter out of my mind after I had burnt it with a quick Incedio. But it had caught up with me, with us.
"God why me, why us" I murmured into Ginny's hair.
