THE FAMOUS WIZARD

Ginny Weasley ran out of the castle into the grounds. She could not believe what she had just seen. Her mind had to be playing tricks. She had not just seen Harry kissing Cho. She ran until she got to the tree by the lake, but upon getting there she realised her mistake. This had been their spot. Harry and her used to come here back during her fifth year.

She kicked the tree angrily as if it was the one causing her grief and rubbed her toes where it had hurt, she took a seat at the base of the trees and pulled her knees to her face. Everything was starting to hurt again, she warped her arms around her tightly, so tight that she might have hugged herself to death. A numb feeling was coming over her and the lake ahead of her was starting to look very inviting.

For a moment she considered plunging into the lake and swimming down into the deepest darkest depths of the lake and just stay there, but she knew it would do her no good. She would leave her family behind, and there had been too much deaths of recent. She wouldn't want to add to the toll.

Then why was she feeling like this. Why did it feel like the whole world was tearing apart? Why did she feel so hollow?

"WHY?" She screamed.

She buried her head into her knees as tears welled down her face. This was too much to take in. She had waited for Harry for nearly all her life, but it had all been in vain.

"Get over yourself Ginny." She murmured to herself. Now that the war was over, Harry deserved to be happy, and if Cho was the one who made him happy then so be it. The least she could do was be happy for him and support him as a friend.

"Ginny, Ginny, Ginevra!"

Ginny rose her face and looked towards the figure that was approaching her. She would have wished to be alone at the moment, as a matter of fact she wanted to be alone, but she also wanted someone to hold her, comfort her and tell her she had just been seeing things.

"Ginny are you alright? What's wrong? Oh Ginny…!" Sarah stopped as she looked at Ginny's face and realised that she had been crying.

"Talk to me Gin, What's wrong?"

"I'm ok." Ginny replied. She tried to smile but the smile did not reach her eyes.

"Nonsense Gin, you're not, talk to me"

"I said I am fine Sarah." She snapped.

Sarah winced at her words and looked away. Slowly she got up started walking away when Ginny reached out and grabbed her.

"I'm sorry for snapping, I'm just so confused at the moment"

"It's ok, if you really don't want to talk about it, then its fine"

"No I do want to talk about it." Ginny said tearfully, "It's just that I don't know where to begin."

"It's ok Gin, I'm here for you, and you know you can talk to me right?"

Ginny sighed, and said. "I saw Harry kissing Cho."

"No way Gin, are you sure?"

"Of course I'm sure."

She shook her head and wondered if she had indeed seen Harry kissing Cho? Maybe she was seeing things after all. She sighed as Sarah pulled her into a hug and comforted her. It was what she needed right now.

"It's ok Gin, he does love you and you know that."

"I know Sarah, but I am so confused, we haven't even spoken to each other since he left, No owls, nothing, even a howler would have been enough. It's not that I am selfish, but I just expected to be the first to talk to him, you know, the person he was going to reach out to."

"I know how you feel Gin, but don't you feel that you are overreacting? I mean what if it wasn't what it looked like? Talk to him and find out what happened."

Ginny closed her eyes for a few moments and tried to think things through. She sat under the tree for what seemed like hours with Sarah, before they decided to return to the castle. She decided to confront Harry, she loved him and as Sarah had told her when they were sitting by the tree there was a logical explanation for what happened, so she was willing to give him a chance to explain himself.

She clenched her jaw as she thought of Cho and decided maybe it was the former Ravenclaw girl that was going to earn her wrath.

Harry stood in front of Hermione as she headed in Cho's direction. He knew the impending fight was going to be almost unstoppable but he had no choice. Seeing Hermione this angry scared him as he had no idea what she was capable of.

"What do you think you are doing Cho?" Hermione started.

Cho started to look annoyed by the obvious intrusion, and was about to respond.

"Hermione wait-" Harry started but was cut off by Hermione

"You, Harry Potter! Don't even get me started with you right now, just don't. What in Merlin's bloody name do you think you are doing?" She shrilled.

Harry stood there open mouthed for a split second. Hermione had just swore, she never swore, surely Ron must be getting to her, but still she never swore.

"It's not what you think it is-" Harry started, but was cut off by Hermione again.

"Upstairs now, Get upstairs now! I need to have a talk with Cho, GO!"

Harry didn't need to be told twice as he left the trophy room. He felt like such a coward for leaving both girls downstairs but even he himself knew better than to be involved in a catfight.

He's mind trailed back to Ginny and he felt his heart drop as he thought of her witnessing the kiss Cho had just forced him into, he had been looking forward to seeing her all day, all he wanted to do was just spend some time with her and wrap his hands around her. He needed to find her fast.

He raced upstairs past a puzzled looking Ron towards the Gryffindor tower, only pausing to give the fat lady the password. He found the common room.

"Just great!" He muttered to himself, he walked over to the stairs leading to the girl's dormitory and pondered how he was going to get up there, he thought about summoning his firebolt and flying up the staircase but that seemed like a very daft idea. He decided to give running up a shot. He put a foot on the steps and started running up. For a moment he seemed successful and he couldn't help but grin, but he's triumph turned into doom as the steps turned into a slid and he came crashing all the way down setting off the alarms in the process.

Harry swore like he had never before, making a couple of sixth year girls that just came down look at him with disgust.

"Where is Ginny? Is she up? I need to see her." Harry said ignoring the looks the girls where giving him.

The two girls lingered for a while deciding which one of them will handle the task of going to look to for Ginny.

"Now, please – this is important." Harry Moaned.

One of the girls' finally went up and returned a short time later.

"She hasn't been up since she went for lunch"

Harry groaned, if she wasn't in her dorm then she could be anywhere in the castle. He was about to give up when he remembered he had the marauders map. He sprinted up to his dorm and retrieved the map, and came back into the common room to meet a very confused Ron.

"Harry what's going on?" Ron asked

"Err… Ron I can't explain now, I have got to go find Ginny"

"She ran past me, what did you do?"

"Oh!" said Harry

"You messed her up?" Ron asked hotly.

"No I didn't, look things got out of hands with Cho." Harry said. He's temper starting to rise.

"Then why all the fuss, I knew you would want to talk to Cho and sort things out between the two of you, but why does my sister have to be involved again"

"What's that supposed to mean"

Ron was about to responded, but Hermione walked into the room looking ready to murder someone. Ron was about to speak again but she held her hand up silence him.

"Honestly Harry what is wrong with you?"

"It wasn't like that, I wouldn't kiss Cho and you know that."

"You kissed Cho?"

"Why did you agree to speak with her in the first place" Hermione continued ignoring Ron.

"She wanted to talk, what was I supposed to do?"

"Oh! I don't know Harry, how about tell her you were busy or you didn't feel like talking, do you have any idea how much you have just hurt Ginny?"

"I told you not to mess my sister up?"

"I did not do anything on purpose" Harry was really upset now, not only could he not find Ginny and explain what happened, Hermione and Ron were giving him a hard time.

"Look I'm going to look for Ginny, if you two are done."

Harry stormed out of the common room before either of them could reply. Things were not going the way he was imaging. Here he was, he had just defeated Voldemort, and surely you would expect things to go right, but no, it seemed like things were just bound to keep getting worse.

"I solemnly swear that I am up to no good." Harry said as he opened up the marauders map and scanned for the little dot that was Ginny. He found her alongside Sarah. They were walking into the castle from the grounds.

He quickly made his way to the entrance door and found Ginny sulking with Sarah. Even in her state it struck him at just how beautiful she was. Her hair was not in its usual ponytail but it was let down. The sun seemed to radiate of it as the golden rays filled each strand of hair with beauty.

He let out a breath he didn't even know he was holding. If at all he didn't have a reason to live after battling with Voldemort, seeing Ginny like this was a good enough reason.

She looked up at him and all the time seemed to stop. She had a hurt look on her face and it crushed his heart.

"Hi Gin." He said.

She didn't respond, but merely looked at him as if he was a rare plant that was being studied in herbology. Interesting but yet freighting.

"Err… Ginny I need to speak to you." He said this time a lot louder, thinking maybe she hadn't heard him the first time.

This time she did respond, but only after Sarah had poked her in the ribs.

"Yeah sure… Sarah could you…"

"Sure thing Gin, I'll meet you at the common room."

"So where do you want to talk?"

"How about we take a stroll to our usual spot?"

She nodded as Harry led her by hand towards the lake. Harry tried to think of all what he had to say to her, all what he had been waiting to say to her for the past few months that he was out hunting the Horcruxes, he had so much but he didn't even know where to begin.

They came to the tree by the lake and Ginny sat down, her back facing the castle. Harry tried to gather his words, but he seemed speechless. He didn't know where to begin, he had rehearsed the speech every night in his dreams, he had replayed this same scenario so many times, but all it had taken was Cho to make the day go bad.

"You know, when I went into the forest to find Voldemort, before I received the killing curse, you were the last thing I thought about."

He heard a small gasp escape from Ginny. But that was all. It was one of the things that he admired about her, the way she knew when and how to be strong.

"During the search for the Horcruxes, I used to watch over you every night, I used to stare at your dot on the Marauders map, watch you as went for classes, even as you served detention, although…" He said with an amused chuckle "You seemed to have had more detentions than classes."

Ginny laughed. "Is that an attempt to get on my good side potter?"

"Is it working?"

"I don't know. You just have to keep on trying." She said with a smirk.

"Ginny." Harry started seriously and she looked up him with the same blazing look she had given him that first time in the common room. It was a look that could move mountains and stop oceans.

"I don't really know how to say this, but you should know that I do care about you, and my feelings for you haven't changed. What happened with Cho wasn't intentional, I thought she wanted to talk, but she kissed me, not me kissing her, I didn't return the kiss."

He avoided looking at her as he rambled on, he wasn't sure he was going to see looking at her, and the last thing he wanted to see was the legendary Weasley temper. It was legendary for a reason. Few people lived to tell the tale.

"I know I'm rambling, but I need you to understand how much you mean to me, and how much I really do care for you."

This time he met her eyes and looked their very brown depths holding her gaze.

"Ginny I love you."

Her eyes widened a little, but there was almost no betrayal of emotion showing on her face.

"It's my love for you that kept me going, I know I'm going to be unnecessary famous and there is going to be so much unwanted attention thrown at me, plus there will be a couple of girls throwing themselves at me, but I need you to know that you already have that special place in my heart."

This time thou, emotion washed all over Ginny's face as she flushed and parted her lips. She looked like a kid who had just set her eyes on a very large bag filled with honeydukes finest sweets.

"Gin you…" She placed her fingers over his mouth, silencing him. She looked deep into his eyes and kissed him.

I was a kiss like never before.

It was a kiss of ownership, it was a kiss of love, it was a kiss of joy, a kiss of relief, a kiss of wanting and yet a kiss of satisfaction. His mind seemed to explode as her tongue found he's and sent into him a world full of pleasure. He leaned against her and pressed her back to the tree.

A soft moan escaped her, and it made Harry's heart beat a little faster. The rate at which they were going, it wasn't going to be long before they crossed the boundaries. He knew he had to stop, but yet he couldn't bring himself to.

He found his hand crawling up her robes looking and searching like a Niffler looking for treasure. It seemed to dance for joy as it encased the small mound on Ginny's chest. His brain shot him messages, telling his hand stop but that seemed fruitless.

Someone cleared their throat behind them and it made Harry and Ginny jump apart from each other, both trying to straighten their outfits and hair.

"I wish I did not just see that"

Harry turned a bright shade of red while Ginny had a look on face that could kill, Ron however seemed to have sensed her fury and kept his face to the sky.

"Honestly Ron, that's what you get for intruding. Harry we just came to make sure you and Ginny are alright."

"It's ok Hermione, we're ok,"

"Yes." Ginny replied, shooting Ron a pointed look. "We are ok now."

"Ok I guess we'll be going back to the castle then."

"No it's a good day, why don't we all sit out and enjoy the day."

"Are you sure?" Hermione asked sceptically.

"Yes sure." Ginny said.

A while later the four of them had found comfortable spots on the ground, talking about the war, and filling Ginny in on the things they did.

"So there really is a dragon guarding the vaults at Gringotts, and I though the twins were pulling my legs when they said that." Ginny said.

"No they weren't lying, just wish things were kind of different thou." Ron replied sadly.

Hermione sensing the impending sadness spoke up.

"I plan to go to Australia this summer…"

"What!" Ron exclaimed, the Twins forgotten.

"I need to bring my parents home."

"Oh!" Ron replied, looking a lot sadder than before.

"We talked about this Ron."

"I just didn't think it was going to be so soon."

"Do you know exactly where they are?" Ginny asked.

"Yes and no. I kind of sent them to Adelaide, it's the fifth city in Australia. It's got a population of about 1.1 million people and there are festivals held there every season, it's also got churches everywhere hence the name city of churches, but I'm guessing they will be in a suburb close to Mount Lofty."

"So you plan to go find them alone in the midst of 1 million people? Mental you are Hermione!" Ron replied, then added as an afterthought "By the way what is a surburp?"

"Suburb Ron, honestly I can always find them, that is what the Locator spell is there for and because I was the one that hid them, I will always find them and a suburb is a residential area on the outskirts of a city or large town."

"We can always come along, you know, that will help narrow things down a bit."

"Thanks Harry but this is something I need to do on my own, you understand right-."

Harry nodded.

"-Ron"

Ron looked up into the sky, he did not like to think of Hermione going alone on her own, and he knew he was being selfish, but he had a right to be selfish.

What was she even trying to prove going alone, he was going to ask her, and then what ever noble reason she gave him, he was going to shoot it down and insist that that he came along with her.

"How long are you staying anyway?" he found himself asking.

"Don't know, as long as it takes, don't worry Ron, I'll be back."

Harry looked away, not wanting to be caught in the middle of another row. He caught Ginny's eye and she looked like she was fighting back a snort. He tried to look away from her so he wouldn't get infected with whatever that was trying making laugh but it was too late as he saw the source. Ron and Hermione were looking into each other's eye and they looked like they were about a second away from kissing, Ginny mimicked vomiting as Harry snorted which he covered up by quickly turning it into a cough.

Ron looked up at Harry and sent a rude hand gesture his way while Hermione flushed.

"So-" Hermione said, recovering from her love stricken look, what will you do over the holidays Harry?

Harry never thought about what he might do after defeating Voldemort. Now that he thought about it, his life had always revolved around Voldemort and the prophecy.

"I don't know, I mean I'm not going back to the Dursleys' that's for sure, but I don't know, maybe I might go back to Grimauld place."

"I think that's a good idea Harry." Ginny said.

"Merlin knows that place needs some redecorating."

"But Mom is going to want to you to come over to the burrow, she wouldn't want you living on your own, you know."

"No I wouldn't want to be a bother."

"Harry Potter you great prat. How would you be a bother?"

"I'm not sure I agree with you on that one Ginny, for one part both of you will be in the house together. I need to live up to my responsibilities as a big brother you know."

Ginny slapped Ron playfully on the hands and said. "Ignore him Harry, you wouldn't be a bother and Mom will really want you around."

Harry smiled as Ron tried outline the conditions of which Harry would have to stay at the burrow. Voldemort was finally gone, and life was free. Sure there had been loses but it was time for a new start. And there was nothing better than having the ones you loved help rebuild the things that were lost.

Their conversations took different turns for the rest of the day as the sun set, spreading its golden showers across the sky, one last time for the day.

The world was finally Voldemort free.
