Sorry for the delay. I typed several chapters ahead and my computer decided to die on me before I could post them. Sent it to a repair shop and waited for it to return instead of rewriting the chapters over. Since I am retiring my computer (rather than spend $400 on a new motherboard) shortly. I am going to post several chapters ahead! Enjoy them because I'm not sure when I will be able to post any new one's after this :/
An out of breath Harry and Hermione now stood with Ron, Ginny and George attempting to inform them what had happened. They somehow throughout the whole scenario came out with the ring and the diary. Nothing bad had really happened but after getting the horcurxes the duo was spooked by a noise behind them and not knowing what it was they had ran all the way back to the rest of the group. The still didn't know what it was.
Harry and Hermione snuck into the house by the open kitchen window and slipped into the invisibility cloak. They began to quieting search all the places they previously thought the ring could be hidden. Once that was done and no ring appeared they decided to head upstairs as they were walking the tripped over the floor board. After making sure no one was around they quickly open the floor board and there was the ring but it was lying on top of the dairy.
They couldn't believe it, Voldemort hiding two horcurxes in the same place. It just wasn't logical thinking from his point of view. He must be planning to move it soon. Not wanting to stick around and find out when exactly Voldemort was returning they replaced the floor board and went to head out. Just as they step onto the porch they heard some noise. They couldn't be sure if it was the wind or someone in the house so without a word they both just took off running. During this the cloak had slipped off both of them but Hermione had managed to grab it before it was completely lost.
All they could hope was that whoever or whatever it was hadn't seen or heard them. Because no telling what might happen if someone had, regardless if they were good or evil people would wonder why someone was in their house , and they had to keep everything secret for Voldemort's death to end up they way they needed it to. Ron, Ginny, and George had run up to them in a panic. Everyone was expecting the worst because well as they were all concern right now things were way to easy and seemly going their way. This should have made them optimistic but instead it made them fearful because something always goes wrong.
This thought multiplied as they planned on how to retrieve the cup, and the diadem. This was going to be tricky and to add to it the worry of Voldemort discovering the diary and ring were missing was a high possibility (for it might have even been him they heard in the house). If he found them missing…well…that was a thought Harry didn't want to have. It was decided to scoop at Gringotts first. They didn't even know if the diadem was there and they didn't even know if the Bellatrix had a vault yet. Harry couldn't be sure how old she even was. Was she old enough to be entrusted with it yet? Had Voldemort entrusted her family with it prior?
His mind was spinning. "Harry, do I have to keep telling you to stop thinking too much? Because it's getting rather annoying" Ginny snapped Harry out of his thoughts as she sat by his side in front of the fire. She put her arms around him and Harry let the warmth of her body and the warmth of the fire warm his soul. He had been so afraid of losing Ginny it has caused him to break up with her after Dumbledore's death and now here he was letting her risk her life for him, again. Ginny fought well in the Battle at Hogwarts but then again so had Fred, Tonks and Remus. You could never be sure when it was your time.
"It a fault of mine you will have to put up with for the rest of our lives I'm afraid" Harry replied kissing her on the lips. She kissed back. "Ewww" George said jokily "if you're going to start off with that couple stuff take it elsewhere!" Harry figured Ron would say something similar (although if you so much as told him to take his hand from Hermione's). "That's actually not a bad idea. Want to go for a walk Gin?" Harry asked hoping that maybe that would help him relax and come up with a good plan.
He was also hoping to escape from Hermione for a while who was coming out of the tent about every 5 to 7 minutes with a new idea but then pointing out its major flaws and all the "what ifs" herself and dragging Ron back in with her as she looked through books and attempted to come up with something else. She wasn't the only one thinking though as Ginny pointed out at the beginning of the conversation. Everyone was running ideas in their head though Harry for one reason or another decided not to voice most of his.
Right now things seemed hopeless. Gringotts had been difficult the first time. They had no idea how its security was in 1969 and spying in the busy Diagon alley would a challenge to say the least. Hogwarts was a whole another story. All these thoughts slipped away now as Harry looked at Ginny in the moonlight. They had quietly walked holding hands and found a nice little spot and after "protecting" it (as to not be spotted by anyone passing by) they not laid on a blanket.
Harry was brushing Ginny's hair behind and just admiring her beauty. Of course Ginny was beautiful always but weather it was the moonlight, the scenery around her, or something else Ginny looked extremely gorgeous right now. "I love you, Ginny" Harry said kissing her all around and finally directly on the lips. "I love you too, Harry" replied Ginny as she stroked his cheek with the back of her hand. Though it Harry had known that in his heart that was true it was nice to hear her say it out-loud.
It was there in 1969 and while preparing to fight and kill Voldemort. It was there out in the open air. It was the in the early evening under the moonlight. It was there after declaring their love for each other. It was there a long conversation about the future. It was there after putting aside all their current worries. It was there that Harry James Potter and Ginevra Molly Weasley gave themselves to each other.
Hopefully that last paragraph comes out the way I meant it to. Wanted to do something romantic between Harry and Ginny because I thought that they would be even more drawn to each other (like Molly and Arthur) during a time of "fear" (or difficulty). Wasn't quite sure how to do it. It came out the way it did and I hope that it worked the way it's supposed to.
