Ginny looked at Harry and he hugged her. Remus cleared his throat. "Harry. Ginny. Maybe we should leave and go back to the Burrow." He said quietly. Ginny stared at Remus and shook her head. "I-I'm not going back. Everything there reminds me of him." Ginny said shaking her head.
"Each of you spent time with Bill before he died. While I was sent here for my 'protection'. Well it's not protecting me. It's killing me. I'm away from my friends and family and now I lose a brother that I never got to say goodbye to!" She said before walking away.
Harry, Oliver and Remus stared at her. "Maybe we should go after her." Remus said turning to Oliver. Oliver shook his head. "You guys head back to my office and wait there. I'll go get her." He said before running after Ginny.
"Ginny!" He shouted when he saw some red hair turn a corner. He started running after her. After a few minutes he finally caught up with her.
"Ginny." He said softly. "You have to go. It's the last chance you'll get to say goodbye." Oliver said turning her around. His heart melted just seeing her. She was crying.
"I can't. If I go back now. I'll never be able to leave!" She said, her brown eyes glistening. Oliver bit his lip and hugged Ginny. "It's seeing Harry that brought this on. I love him so much. He's been through so much and so have I. It's the only thing we have in common. You know who." Ginny said slowly.
"He saved me in first year. Asked me out in fifth year and then broke my heart at Dumbledore's funeral. But still I love him like I still love all my family for sending me here!" She said wiping her eyes.
"I'm only getting used to the idea of now having to wake up to mums cooking. Fred and George laughing or Ron's snoring. Or dad talking about the latest muggle product in stores!"
Oliver stared at Ginny. He didn't know how she felt about the move here. He thought she just missed Hogwarts and magic. He now knew that she missed everything. She was the one that suffered most. Living in America with no one to turn to. No one to share her problems or feelings with.
"He was my favourite. I could talk to him about anything and he would help me. No matter what it was." Ginny mumbled quietly. Oliver hugged her.
"If you go back now. You'll hear Fred and George shouting. Ron snoring. Smell your mums cooking and tell you dad about your muggle life. Show him your iPod." Oliver said firmly.
"They all miss you. They all know how you feel. Please. Go say goodbye to him. He'll never be gone. He'll be by your side with you through thick and thin, Gin." He said looking at her.
"Okay." Ginny said quietly before walking away from Oliver and towards his office. Oliver followed quietly beside her.
When they were outside his office Oliver heard quiet whispers.
"I still love her Moony." Harry said in a hushed voice. It sounded as if his voice was strained as if he was crying. "Harry. Ginny loves you too but don't make this any harder than it already is. She's lost her brother and when she has to come back here she'll be losing her whole family basically." Remus said in his kind, gentle voice.
Harry sighed and it was all silent. Oliver opened the door and looked at Harry and Remus. Remus looking at him and Oliver nodded to the silent question. Ginny stepped out behind him and towards the fire.
"C-Can you guys go before me. I want to go home last. Think about everything for few minutes alone." Ginny asked them. Three heads nodded and three separate shouts of 'The Burrow' were said.
Ginny stood against Oliver's desk debating with herself. Should she go home and mourn her loss with her family of should she wallow in her own self pity in her dorm room alone.
While Ginny had her silent debate back at the Burrow people were frantic. Oliver, Remus and Harry had arrived ten minutes ago and still no Ginny. Mrs Weasley was weeping in her husbands arms. Both were afraid there daughter would never come and had run away.
Oliver stared at the fire silently as did Harry.
Ginny took a deep breath and let her last tears fall freely before shouting 'The burrow' and throwing the powder down. She was whooshed away in a bright green light and stumbled out of the fireplace.
Everyone in the room stared at her not knowing whether to hug her or stay put. Ginny made their decision for them by running up to her run and slamming the door.
Mr Weasley stared up the stairs sadly. She was taking it hard. He had never seen her this wound up since she came home after her first year. He just prayed silently it wouldn't be as bad.
Mrs Weasley sobbed loudly. "M-My baby's home." She said quietly. Harry stared at the fireplace blankly before walking out of the room. Hermione and Ron stared at him confused. They made to get off their chairs when Remus shook his head. "He still loves her." He said softly.
Hermione nodded while Ron just stood looking at the door. This was going to be a messed up weekend.
Ginny sat in her room. "Can't face them. Not yet" She mumbled to herself. "Too soon. They sent me away. They don't want me here." She kept rambling on barely hearing the feint knock on the door.
"Ginevra?" A small voice came through as the door creaked open. Mr Weasley walked in. "Dad?" Ginny asked, her voice breaking. "Oh dad, I've missed you so much." She said flinging herself at her dad hugging him like it was the last time she would ever see him.
"I've missed my angel too." He said softly hugging Ginny just as tight as she was him.
"W-Why did you send me there?" She finally asked. She had never asked them once in the letters she sent, nor did she mention that she never once received a reply.
"To protect you dear. You know who knew about your relationship between Harry. You would have been his next victim. Your mother and I couldn't have that. We love you too much to lose you." Mr Weasley said in a low voice.
"B-But why didn't you reply to my letters? I sent one every week and I got none back." She said desperately. Ginny wanted answers. She needed them.
"We thought that by distancing ourselves from you, you'd forget us and try live normally as a muggle. Have a proper childhood without this war raging through our own world." He said sitting down on her bed. Ginny sat down next to her.
"We all love you so much we don't want anything to happen to you. I should go down to the others. There is a lot to be done over the next two days." Mr Weasley said softly.
"Ginny?" He asked. "Yes dad?" She replied. Mr Weasley took out a small black box from his pocket. "Bill would have wanted you to have this." He said handing it to her before leaving the room.
Ginny stared down at the box. Her hands were shaking slightly. She looked at it silently not knowing if she wanted to open it or not.
Downstairs everyone was sitting in the kitchen. An uncomfortable silence hung in the room. Mr Weasley walked in and everyone looked at him. "How is she Mr Weasley?" Hermione asked, breaking the silence.
"Upset. Confused. Tired." Mr Weasley said, listing off the main emotions Ginny was feeling.
"Don't forget hunger." Oliver said quietly. "She hasn't eaten since she got Hermione's letter." he finished looking down at the table.
"I tried to bring her to the canteen but she just wanted to be alone."
Mrs Weasley sighed. "I should go up to her." She said softly. "I think she wants to be alone Molly." Remus said to her. Mrs Weasley nodded and everything went silent again.
[Ohh Ginny's depressed. Should she get with Harry? Will she open the box and she what Bill left her? Review people]
