I'm starting this now because I'm going Winnipeg Sunday Night Cruising tonight and might not have the time to make the next chapter for all of you. So, here is chapter 3 of A Fresh Start. I hope you like it.

Chapter 3

Going Back Home

They day flew by extremely fast with no more alone time for Ginny and Harry.

They woke up the next morning excited to be going home to the Burrow. It was full of comfort and happy memories which would be a nice thing for the Weasley family. Hogwarts a refugee, but right now it was filled with death and sorrow. They were all happy to be going home, except for one of the red heads who was missing half of himself.

"Harry! Wake up, it's time for breakfast and then we're leaving." Ginny was bouncing up and down on Harry bed, shaking it violently.

Harry grabbed her by the waist and held her still. "Ginny, if you stop jumping on my bed so I can get out." He didn't have to say anymore, she jumped off his bed pulling him to the door.

"Ginny, Ginny, stop!" she stopped moving and turned to look at him. "Can I get dressed first?" he said I smile breaking through at Ginny's eagerness.

"Fine, but be fast. We're leaving in an hour. I'll wait out here." She said pulling open the door and closing is gentle behind her.

Harry stood by his bed looking for some Muggle clothes in his trunk. He found a deep blue sweater and black jeans, he decided they were good enough and slipped then on. He looked in a mirror before deciding his hair was fine, but discovered that he looked like a Ravenclaw.

Not caring he left the room and ran into his waiting girlfriend outside the door.

"Well, don't you look handsome?" She said pulling on the collar of his sweater. He reached his head down hand kissed her lightly before they descended the stairs into the Gryffindor common room.

They walked out of the portrait hole and down the many flights of moving stairs to the Great Hall where the breakfast had already started. Just like the past 2 day they walked over to the group of red heads crowded in one area of the Gryffindor table.

When they sat down they discovered someone was missing.

"Where's George?" Harry asked mildly curious as to were the twin, or old twin could be.

"We don't know." Hermione said. She coated the worry in her voice well. Better than the other Weasley's did on their faces.

He let the subject drop on the now lonely George, because it made the rest of the family remember Fred. There was a small sniffle beside him and he looked down to Ginny, wiping a tear that was falling down her cheek away.

Harry wanted to comfort her; he wanted to hold her and love her and tell her everything was going to be okay. But he couldn't with all the other Weasley's around, so he grabbed her hand under the table and gave it a reassuring squeeze. She looked up at him and smiled ever so slightly then back down to her food. Ron gave Harry a thankful glance from across the table. Harry just nodded, and then went back to eating.

After they had all finished their tear filled breakfast they went to go collect their belongings. Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Ginny headed to the Gryffindor tower to collect their trunks before meeting in the hall downstairs. They meet in the common room before leaving the portrait hole where the fat lady belonged. Harry turned to Ginny as Ron and Hermione keep walking.

"Are you okay Ginny." He asked.

"Ya, I'm fine, I just miss Fred so much."

He lowered himself to her level and talked to her softly. "It's okay to cry Ginny, I know how you feel." Another tear ran down her cheek and he kissed it away before softly kissing her on the lips. She dropped her luggage and wrapped her hands around his neck, deepening the kiss. Harry pulled away after a moment.

"We got to get going, their waiting for us." He said while rewrapping her hand to his and they restarted their descend down the stair.

When they meet all the Weasley's in the Great Hall, Harry didn't notice that he was still holding Ginny's hand until it was too late.

"Oi, what's with that?" Bill said glaring at their intertwined hands.

Harry looked down and realized they were busted. He opened his mouth to speak, but Ginny beat him to it.

"Harry and I are together again, isn't that great?" She said smiling; her eyes still red from crying.

"That's wonderful dear." Mrs. Weasley said.

"Bloody fantastic." Bill grumbled sarcasm covered over distaste in his voice.

"I think it's great." Hermione said. It was obvious that she already knew.

"Zat es 'onderful Arry." Fleur said smiling.

Charlie and Percy muttered something unintelligible under their breaths. The newly found George smiled slightly but looked utterly uninterested. He was mourning the loss of his twin brother worse than the rest of the Weasley's.

They decide they would flu home to the Burrow from Hogsmade.

Mr. Weasley and Mrs. Weasley disappeared into the Green flames first, closely fallowed by Percy holding a very depressed looking George. Bill walked in with Fleur next shooting glances over at Harry and Ginny until he disappeared into the Green flames as well.

Ron and Hermione entered next, dropped the flu powder and disappeared after the rest of them.

Charlie motioned for Harry and Ginny to go next, obviously not wanting them to have any alone time. They walked into the flu slowly, whispered they Burrow, and then were gone.

They stepped into a familiar room and stumbled out of the fire place. Charlie was Right on their heels. Muttering something about all the dust involved with fluing places, something about how apperating would have been so much easier, and not as messy.

Mrs. Weasley came into the room after hearing Charlie voice, flicked her wand to clean up the floor in front of the fire place.

"Well then everyone, lets get settled in. Bring your stuff to your rooms. All of you go now." She stated while shooing them to the stairs.

Harry watched as Ginny's door closed behind her and then continued walking up the stairs right behind Ron to the highest floor.

"So, how do you feel about everyone knowing now?" Ron asked starting up a casual conversation as they were putting their things away.

"Truly, I didn't want everyone to know just yet. But they toke it better than I thought they would. I was suspecting it 20 times as bad as what I got from you." Harry said laughing. Ron joined in, the Hermione came in.

"What are you two laughing about." She said plopping down on Ron's bed.

"Just guy stuff." Ron said pulling her into a casual embrace.

She pushed him away after a moment. "Well your mom sent me to get you for lunch. It's almost ready, so hurry up with you things and I'll meet you downstairs." She kissed Ron very lightly while Harry made a gagging noise playfully.

"Hey, at least you don't have to watch your sister snogging with your best mate." Ron joked after the short kiss.

"Whatever." Harry left the room so they could continue with their snogging session.

Okay, well there's chapter 3. I hope you like it. It's kind of short I know, but I'm getting hungry and I didn't want you to have to wait till tomorrow for this chapter, because I'm going to be out tonight. So it's nice and early considering the last 2 chapters I posted at like 11, 12 at night. So REVIEW, and I will try to get a chapter to you every day.
