Chapter 2
They got a lot of stares and smiles as the walk down the corridors and a couple applauded too. As they reached the entrance to the Great Hall , the room erupted with whispering then many heads turned his way and a few people cheered at him as he walked by. Harry, Ron and Hermione looked around for an empty spot. As Harry was gazing about he caught sight of Ginny,
"Can you guys, give me a minute?" Harry asked without waiting for a reply.
He walk over to were the Weasley clan was sitting and was instantly grabbed into a rib-cracking hug by Mrs. Weasley .
" Oh Harry, dear, looking a bit peaky aren't we," leave it to Mrs. Weasley to point out his loss of weight in a time like this.
" Harry we were just disusing sleeping arrangements for the next little while, obvious Bill and Fleur will go to shell cottage….." she started
" Mrs. Weasley , I will be glad with anything but may I please speak with Ginny?" Harry asked politely stopping Mrs. Weasley from rabbling on.
" Ginny?!" several of them said in unison with confused looks on their faces.
" Yes… of course.. but what.." Molly began but Ginny just stood up and accompanied Harry into the Entrance Hall.
The Weasley clan exchanged odd expressions.
As soon as they were out of sight, Harry began to explain but Ginny just put her hands on the back of his neck and pulled him down into a kiss. It went on for what felt like all the months they had spent apart. When they separated ,they were both laughing with happiness. Neither of them spoke, they only looked deep into each others eyes for explanation. Ginny could see the thought of danger still lurking in side of Harry's soul. Harry saw , although relief and love in Ginny's chocolate brown eyes but also concern , sadness and inner-torcher . He wrapped his arms around her as if protecting her from herself.
After that they went into join Ron and Hermione at the table.
After finishing a plate mountained with food , a bowl of treacle tart and several goblets of pumpkin juice. Harry sat back, satisfied with himself, to wait for Ron and Hermione to finish. He then began talking to Ginny about the battle.
'…..and Bellatrix La Strange almost hit me with a killing curse before mum step in and finished her' Ginny concluded. 'That was the last thing before you arrived'
'Yeah I saw that' Harry explained 'I started running at her instead before your mum push me aside. I don't know what I would have done if it…it had hit you' Harry's voice trembling at the thought of Ginny lying on the floor next to Fred, dead. Ginny grabbed his hand.
'Awwwww.' Sighed a voice across the table.
Harry turned to see Hermione a 'sweet 'expression on her face as she looked at the pair of them .Harry turned back to Ginny who giving him glowing smile. Ron, looking slightly disgruntled, ripped the last piece of meat off a pork chop before standing up.
'come on,' he said holding his hand out to Hermione ,who place her own on it cautiously, "let's head out to the lake.'
As they all stood up, many heads turned to watch but didn't keep their stare long. Walking through what was left of the grand entrance the smell of smoke and dust filled Harry's nose .He carefully avoided patches of blood and caught Ginny as she tumbled over piles of rubble. The castle was in ruins.
