Chapter Nine

Ginny had fallen asleep after they had stopped looking at the old memories.

Harry knew she would have to go back to the Burrow in the morning. He didn't want to keep her from Mrs. Weasley any longer. He knew it wasn't fair to her or even to Ginny. Ginny needed to be home with her family, even though she didn't understand that.

He hated to be away from her even for a second but he didn't really have a choice. She was going to hate him for forcing her to go back but he had to.

He stroked her hair and she snuggled into his chest.

"What's the matter?" She mumbled against his chest.

"You have to go back today…" He groaned.

"No." She said quietly.

"We don't need to upset your mum anymore." Harry said.

"I don't want to leave you. I've had too much of being away of you." She raised her head and kissed his jaw and moved her way up to his ear.

"Keep acting like that and I may not let you go." He mumbled before kissing her fully on the mouth.

"Good." She whispered before wrapping her arms around his neck.

He had missed being with her. Whether or not they were snogging. Just being near her made him nervous and warm. If that made any sense. It didn't make sense to him. He knew it too, but when it came to her the only thing that made sense was when they were together.

He leg reached around his waist and he moved his mouth down to her neck. He quickly began to remember the shape of her body, which he had spent weeks trying to memorize last year. Was it last year? How long had it been? He could barely even remember the day.

His hand reached to her thigh and squeezed it tightly. He couldn't get enough of her. Her lips, her body, her touch, everything about—

"Harry." She said pulling back from him. "I need to talk to you about something."

"What?" He asked warily.

"It's just," She sat up leaning against the headboard, separating them. "You left, Harry."

"Ginny—"

"Let me finish first." He nodded. "You left, and I understand why and I love you for it but you still left. I know you didn't want to but it still hurt me and its going to take us some time to get back to what we were before. I can't think of this like we're continuing from the same place. We're starting over."

Harry stayed silent for a few seconds. "So we're starting from the beginning…"

"Yes…" She said slowly. She was afraid that perhaps it'd be too much for him, what if it was?

"If it's what you want, I'll do it."

"Really?" She asked.

"Ginny, I'd do anything for you." He said and looked down as he could feel himself blushing.

She placed her finger under his chin lifting his head and gave him a slow kiss.

"I love you."

"I love you too." He whispered and kissed her nose. "Oh before I forget again." He reached around to the nightstand next to him and pulled out a box from the drawer. "I got you this the other day."

She smiled and opened the box. "Harry." She gasped looking at the necklace he had gotten her. "It's beautiful."


"Well, well, well…what were you two doing back there?" George asked with a smirk as Ron and Hermione left the office.

They both blushed and Ron's reached his ears quickly. "Uh, do you mind if I take off for lunch now. Hermione still hasn't eaten."

"Of course, go, I was thinking of closing early anyways. I'm tired." George said with a weak smile.

Ron looked unnerved for a second.

"Go, leave and turn around the sign so no one else comes in, and enjoy the rest of the day with your girlfriend."

Ron nodded and turned around grabbing Hermione's hand and leaving George alone.


"Do you have everything?" Harry asked as he grabbed Ginny's things.

She nodded. "But I don't want to go just yet."

Harry looked at her. "Stop stalling."

"No, I just, maybe we can look at another one of Lupin's memories?"

Harry sighed. She knew how to get to him. He had decided to look at one a day until he ran out and he was extremely curious. "Fine but then we're leaving."

"Yes dear." She mocked.

He took the flask and poured another memory into the pensive before taking her hand and dropping into the memory.

They looked around the empty room. He realized he had no idea where they were or where Lupin was for that reason.

Suddenly he heard yelling. He realized it as Tonks and Lupin.

"Please just yell at me or anything." Lupin pleaded. As she walked in front of him.

"I don't want to yell at you." She said. "You left, you came back. End of story."

"Not end of story, Nymphadora. We need to talk about it." He said.

"Why so I can be angry with you? This is not the time to be angry with the people we trust." She said.

Harry noticed she didn't even wince as he had used her full name.

"No so you can forgive me."

"Fine! I'm angry Lupin. You left me, and your unborn child. I am your wife! Do you understand what that means?"

Lupin visibly paled as she began to yell.

"You do not get to run away like a child, you have to stay and talk to me. Even if it's unpleasant and annoying and painful. It's your job. We took vows! And you just ignored them! I know you're scared, don't you think I am as well! We're all scared but you can't use it as an excuse!" Tears started spilling out of her eyes and she sat down in a chair.

He kneeled down before her (grunting as he did) and placed his head on her knees. "I'm so sorry, you can't even imagine how much."

"Why did you even come back?" She sobbed into her hands.

"Honestly, I wanted to come back the moment I left but I couldn't. I knew—know you deserve better but I went and I saw Harry and he kicked me in the arse." He laughed quietly. "I don't know when that kid became smarter than me."

"I always knew; you're an idiot." She said as she sniffed and wiped away her tears.

He smiled. "We should make him godfather…" He whispered quietly.

"What'd you say?" She asked.

He stood up slowly. "I think we should make Harry godfather for our baby."

Tonks looked at him and slowly smiled.

Then the memory was dissolving and they were back in Harry's room.

"That was an amazing thing you did." Ginny said.

"You wouldn't think that if you had seen how it really played out." Harry said with shame washing over him. "Either way, we've got to get you home."

She sighed and grabbed his hand before apparating out of Grimmwald Place and to The Burrow.

He knocked on the door and Ginny glared at him.

There was a sound of something dropping and then Mrs. Weasley opened the door. "Glad you decided to appear again." She mumbled to Ginny. "Go to your room."

"Mum—"

"You're still underage and do as I say. Now go to your room." Harry squeezed her hand tightly before letting it go. He didn't dare kiss her for fear of upsetting her.

"Mrs. Weasley, can we please talk?"

She turned around. "Arthur is in his room, he wanted to see you if you appeared."

Harry sighed but didn't push and went to go find him.

He found the room oddly comforting with all the muggle contraptions.

"Ah! Harry!" Arthur said.

Harry noticed the deep bags under his eyes, reminding him much of George's the incredible guilt weighed on him.

"I'm glad you made it, I hope Molly wasn't too hard on you today."

"She's getting better, I was surprised she let me into the house." He joked quietly.

Arthur laughed a little too heartedly. "Well listen, Hagrid gave me something to fix up the other day for you. We just wanted you to consider it an early birthday present and I happened to finish it the other day."

He took a sheet off an object half of Harry's height.

Harry gasped as he took it off. It was Sirius' bike. It looked perfect.

He didn't want to but he couldn't help the tears forming in his eyes. "Mr. Weasley…"

"Harry, I know you've sacrificed a lot over the past years. More than any boy, man or person should ever half to. And…I figured that maybe this would help bring a part of them back…or at least Sirius."

"I can't…I…" He couldn't stop himself from running into Mr. Weasley's arms. "Thank you."


George finished off another drink and felt wheezy.

His mind was going hazy and he wasn't felling all the parts in his body.

He sighed and stumbled over to his sofa. He laid down his head hitting the arm rest but he didn't care.

It didn't matter.

As he looked forward he noticed a picture of Fred.

He had missed it when taking them all down.

He reached his foot out and kicked it before he could look at it completely.

Then quickly everything went black.

What'd you guys think? I know it's not the longest but its been a while so i figured that it's better than nothing. Also I'm starting to put in more characters stuff. Like George and Percy might be in the next one but he's going to be soon. Either way is there anyone else you'd want to see? Or anything else you'd want to see? and next chapter there's going to be a ron and hermione fight just like old times and then someone else is going to make a reappearance.
