Harry finally got out of bed and slumped to the kitchen." Why couldn't the night just be longer!" thought Harry as he sat down at the table next to Ginny. Harry quietly gobbled down his breakfast, but Ginny seemed to notice something wrong.
"Harry, are you alright? You seem kind of quiet," questioned worried Ginny. Apparently, Ginny had instincts about his boyfriend's odd behavior.
"I'm fine," lied Harry as he got up from the table. Harry felt guilty for lieing to Ginny and now that he'd already lied, if he told her the truth she'd probably just get mad. Ginny searched his eyes for truth but Harry quickly looked down and raced up the stairs. Ginny stood up as if she were about to say something, but quickly sat back down.
"What is he hiding? I know Harry and something is defiantly wrong," thought puzzled Ginny. Harry sat down on his bed looking at the picture Sirius had given him of the original Order of the Phoenix. His eyes watered a bit as he gazed down at the happy picture. His only family left in the world had left him, his godfather had left him, and even Dumbledore had left him. Footsteps came from towards the stairs. Harry quickly stuffed the picture under his pillow and pulled out a copy of the Daily Prophet.
"Hello Harry! Didn't know you were up yet. Have a nice sleep?" questioned Ron as he walked into the room, his arm around Hermione's shoulder. "Just fine," grumbled Harry as he tried to seem normal. Ron gave Harry a puzzle look and Hermione walked straight up to Harry.
"Harry, we've known you long enough. Tell us what's wrong," she demanded from him and Ron stood behind her. "Nothings wrong. What made you think that?" lied Harry as he felt guilty again.
"2 lie! This is the limit!" thought Harry. But Ron and Hermione didn't give in. "Harry you've got to tell us what's troubling you. Why is Ginny upset?" asked Ron as his eyes searched for good reason.
"Ginny's upset?! Why didn't you tell me?" exclaimed Harry as he raced down the stairs. Before going anywhere, Harry checked the garden where he usually found Ginny if she was upset or unhappy. Harry raced to the nearest bench to see Ginny sitting still as a statue.
" Ginny, is something wrong?" questioned Harry as he sat down next to her. Ginny looked up at him, her eyes searching his for truth as she had done this morning. But she couldn't contain herself. She began sobbing on Harry's shoulder and Harry patted her on the back as he searched for words of comfort.
"Ginny, what's wrong?" Harry asked again, trying to make it less obvious that he already knew. Ginny lifted sat up and wiped her tear covered eyes.
"Harry, you've never lied to me before this and I really don't want you to ever start. So please, please tell me whats wrong!" pleaded Ginny as tears again began to fall. Harry couldn't bear to see Ginny like this. It was just too hard. But he couldn't freak Ginny out with the truth either. So he told her half the truth.
"Ginny, I had a horrible nightmare. Something you'd expect right after finally defeating Voldemort, right? I was just too embarrassed to tell you before," said Harry and Ginny looked like she believed him.
"Harry, if it was that small a deal then why didn't you tell me? You should start learning to trust me a little more than this," said Ginny relived. She gave Harry a quick hug and pulled his hand to take him inside. Harry told Ron and Hermione what he had told Ginny but it didn't feel right to not tell them the whole truth.
