A/N: okay, since I keep getting questions about my Harry I will try to answer a few other things this chapter or within the next two chapters. But thank you for keeping me on my toes about it all and thank you to everyone who reviewed! On with the show!

A/N2: I know that my timeline almost got messed up around the middle of the chapter and I'm not sure if students go to Diagon Alley this early, but for the sake of the story they will. Sorry in advance!

Ginny's feelings were everywhere. As much as she hated what Harry did, for some reason she couldn't bring herself to actually hate him. Which in all honesty, it was kind of pissing her off. But she wasn't stupid, he wouldn't forgive him just yet. He didn't deserve it. She knew she should still be one hundred percent mad at him, but every time she saw him she felt weak. Not that he knew he had that power over her; he was never to know that. It would be disastrous. But things seemed to be looking up, she got an interesting owl from Dennis Creevey today asking if she wanted to have dinner with him, to catch up. She had written back immediately and said yes, she had been missing the younger wizard incredibly; they had gotten quite close over the past few years. The dinner would be tonight and she wanted to make sure both of them had a good time so she decided to go on a little shopping trip.

Harry sighed, he felt like his emotions were everywhere. He could not understand the change of events since he had first arrived. Ginny had originally screamed at him and smacked him, then cried over a song that was partially about him and then she ends the week with kissing him on the cheek. Would he ever understand girls?

"Probably not," he said cynically under his breath.

He sighed and looked at the letter he got today. It was from Andromeda, asking if he'd be okay to watch Teddy for a few hours while she went on a few errands. He had happily agreed, seeing as how the reunion between him and Teddy had gone quite well.

Flashback

Harry was nervous; he was finally seeing his godson. He felt guilty for leaving him and he wanted to put things right. He stepped forward and knocked on the door three times in quick succession. A young boy of almost eleven with bright blue hair and dark brown eyes answered. He looked Harry up and down and Harry felt like his entire appearance was being scrutinized by this little boy, he quickly tried to push his hair down to seem more presentable.

"You know, you should leave your hair sticking up and stuff. It's much cooler than tame hair," the little boy giggled insanely and after a few minutes settled back down again, "I've missed you Uncle Harry. Even if I didn't really know you, everyone told me about you and I'm quite glad to have you as a godfather." With that being said, he rushed to Harry and hugged him around the middle. With tears in his eyes, he hugged his godson back with all his might.

End flashback

It had been a great day and at the end Harry had told the two that he would hang out with them anytime they wanted. The idea of spending some time with Teddy gave him great excitement and he couldn't wait. He knew that Teddy had gotten his Hogwarts letter so he planned on buying him his school things in Diagon Alley, even if he were four months early; maybe even get him a broom and some new clothes.

Ginny flooed to the Leaky Cauldron and dusted herself off. She waved to Tom the bar keeper and stepped out through the back and pulled out her wand. Letting herself in she looked around and saw that not a lot of people were out today. "Good, easier for me to get in and get out of here," she thought.

She walked to Madam Malkin's and started looking around with the shop keeper, hoping to find something nice to wear for her night out with Dennis. The more the day went on, the more excited she got and she could not quite place why. She saw a knee length black dress and instantly fell in love. "Ooooh! Can I try this one on ma'am?"

Harry and Teddy had been having a great day and were almost done with their shopping. Teddy now only needed a wand and his robes.

"I think we should get your robes first Teddy. A visit with Ollivander will surely make you want to go home immediately," Harry joked.

"Why is that, Uncle Harry?"

"Because you're my godson and Ollivander likes to be creepy, especially about me," Harry winked at his godson and led him over to Madam Malkin's.

Ginny went into the changing room and started to check how the dress felt and looked on her.

"Come on out dear, let me see how it looks," said the shop keeper. She heard the lady tell someone to go wait by the school robes and she'd be with them in a second.

Ginny walked out to the main part of the store and her heart nearly stopped at the sight in front of her. Harry was holding up a small figure who had dark black hair who was trying to touch the ceiling.

"UNCLE HARRY! You said I'd be able to reach it!" yelled the young boy.

Harry laughed loudly, "That is true," he held the boy up with one hand and took out his wand. One silent spell later and the boy in question had easily reached the ceiling. The man and young boy were laughing hysterically. The boy turned around and saw Ginny, "Aunt Ginny! What are you doing here?"

Harry's concentration broke and the boy fell a few inches before he managed to avert his attention and slowly bring down Teddy to the ground. Teddy ran over to Ginny and hugged her. "Did you see me, Aunt Ginny? Did you see me? I was on the ceiling!"

Ginny giggled and hugged the little boy she saw as a nephew, "Yes I did!" She turned her attention to Harry, "I can't believe you would do that! It was way too dangerous!"

Harry looked at her sheepishly. "It's no different than if he were on a broom, which I bought him the Firebolt XL so he should get used to it. Besides, there are more dangerous things than a hovering charm."

She fixed a glare on him, "There is no need to remind me of that Harry Potter. I am well aware of more dangerous things. I was merely saying that it is for an eleven year old."

Harry sighed and looked at her. After a few seconds it seems he finally noticed what Ginny was wearing. "Erm….Teddy, why don't you go see the shop keeper and tell her what you need. I'm just going to talk to Ginny real quick. I'll be there in a moment," Teddy looked doubtful, "I solemnly swear it." The boy's featured lightened up at the old Marauder promise Harry had shared with him earlier that day and his hair went back to his normal shade of electric blue that he liked so much. Harry laughed as the little boy ran to the shop keeper.

"So….erm..why all dressed up," Harry asked, hoping to sound nonchalant.

Ginny smirked at him, "If you must know I am going to dinner with Dennis Creevey tonight and I wanted to get something new. What do you think?"

"Is it a date?" He felt a little jealous and was getting irritated at himself.

The red-head faltered at his question, "No..erm of course not. We're just catching up. We didn't get to talk much at the Hogwarts memorial," she sighed at the memories of that day. She looked for the shop keeper, "sorry to bug you during the fitting but I need to purchase this and get going." She nodded and stepped away from Teddy. They waved good-bye to her and finished up his fitting and had all of his new robes.

"Okay buddy. Let's get your wand and then we can head back to your grandma's."

Harry apparated to his hotel room after dropping off Teddy and grabbed his invisibility cloak and broom. He turned on the spot and arrived in Hogsmeade. He carefully walked up to the castle. He barely glanced at his one time home and headed for the quidditch pitch. He let the cloak fall to the ground and he mounted his broom. He kicked off hard and floated around. This had always been the best way for him to clear his head. He needed to sort out his feelings about Ginny and Terri, and soon. Before something happened that he'd regret. He thought back to his conversation with Ginny the week before and felt a pang of guilt for not telling her part of the story. He thought back to when he walked up to Voldemort to sacrifice himself. Right before the spell hit he had thought of Ginny. But as he was in that in between world with Dumbledore, he kept thinking about her. At first he felt love, but then he felt scared. Once this all finished, he thought of all the attention she would surely not want for being with the "savior of the wizarding world" and even if she was okay with it he had known it would be instant rejection from her. Why would she still want him after everything? He did not want to feel the rejection. Her brother had died and he was the cause, he told her this and it had been true. They both knew it. What bothered Harry though is that while he thought of her rejection was also if they stayed together. What if they didn't make it? What if he messed up? Or he went on to be an Auror and she was still in danger? He couldn't have that. The best thing for him was to just disappear. And that's exactly what he did. And yes, he knew he was selfish and it was something he lived with everyday. He also felt bad about that conversation with his uncle in Bulgaria. Both acts were stupid and now he would pay for them. But he hoped that with time, maybe things could change.

Yet, on the other hand there was Terri. He felt like he loved her but he was terrified of marriage in all honesty. He did not want to get stuck with someone he wasn't sure about. And she knew that and understood that. That was the great thing about her. She got it. But if he wasn't sure about her, why drag her along with him in his long winding path? "It is time to talk to her, I think."

Dennis was walking to Ginny back to her flat after a great night at some new Italian restaurant in muggle London. They stopped outside of her door and she smiled at him

"I had a great time, Dennis. Thank you," she smiled that radiant smile that he loved so much and he gladly returned it.

"I'm glad. I had a good time too. Good night Ginny," he watched her head inside, "wait! Gin?"

She stopped and looked at him, "yeah?"

He gulped and stepped forward. She looked up at the man who was a good head taller than her. He leaned down and gently brushed his lips against hers and oddly she found her lips reacting back. Dennis pulled back and smiled. Ginny blushed, but smiled nonetheless, "Good night Dennis."

He grinned like a fool and turned on the spot, leaving Ginny on her doorstep wondering what in the world just happened.

A/N3: I know some of you will be angry at this last part, but I wanted another obstacle. I hope you're satisfied to see Harry coming around and seeing his mistakes. Please Review!
