This chapter is sort of dark and kind of short so apologies for that. Thanks for all the reviews. They're greatly appreciated. Enjoy Chapter 5.

Disclaimer: I own nothing Harry Potter.

As soon as Harry appeared in the Great Hall Ginny ran into his arms clearly crying. He instantly felt warm.

"Ginny."

"I'm so glad you're okay." She sniffed. "I don't know what I would have done if I had lost you too."

He stroked her long red hair. "It's gonna be okay now, Ginny. I promise. Everything will be okay."

She pulled away from their hug and kissed him. She took his hand and led him through the crowd. As people parted for them, he received many pats on the backs. Many people shook his hand. Some people even bowed. There were many "Congratulations" and "Thank you's" for Harry. He simply nodded back, not fully being able to enjoy them considering his best mate was dead.

They reached the Weasley family. Harry stared down at Ron's lifeless body once more bringing tears to his eyes.

He overheard Mr. Weasley talking to his older sons, Bill and Charlie. "We'll have the funerals tomorrow morning. Right now I just want you boys to take everyone back to the Burrow. I'm going to head to the Ministry. Make sure that your mother goes with you. Take care of her and don't let her out of your sight."

Harry held Ginny tightly as she was still sobbing.

Hermione watched her best friend walk away from her as it started to rain. The rain started off as a light drizzle but quickly turned into a down pour. All Hermione could do was stand there becoming soaking wet. Then she fell to the hard, cold ground, heartbroken partly because she hadn't expected Harry to blow up on her and partly because she knew he was right.

How could I be so stupid? Harry's right. I'm a disgrace. Ron. Ron. None of this would be happening if he were still here. He didn't deserve to die. I miss him. He's only been gone a few hours and I've already found someone else? How could I do that? He would want me to be happy though just not with Draco. Draco. He betrayed Voldemort, the darkest wizard of well ever, for me. Ron would be furious with me. I can't do this do him, either of them. Harry's never going to speak to me again. I can't do this.

With the thoughts running wild in her head, she slowly stood, tears in her eyes. She walked over to the edge of the bridge where the wall had been blown away during the war. She looked over and couldn't even see the ground. She stepped on the edge, closed her eyes, and lifted her foot so she would fall. It's not gonna hurt anymore. Everything will be done after this and nothing will be complicated. As she went to lift her other foot she felt a tight grip on her wrist that jerked her around.

"What the hell are you doing?" She opened her mouth to speak but nothing came out. He immediately engulfed her by taking her waist and removing her from the edge securing that she didn't jump. Draco cupped her face in his hands. "What? Are? You? Doing?"

She sniffed and looked away, unable to look him in the eyes. "I-I just t-thought…"

"No you didn't think! How could you do this to me?" He was still gripping her face, wiping away her tears with his thumbs.

She took his wrists and lowered his hands from her face shaking her head no. "I'm sorry. I can't do this." And she ran the opposite direction towards the Great Hall.

Harry apparated back to the Burrow with the rest of the Weasley family. He couldn't stand to be around all his lifeless friends. He and Ginny made it up to her room.

She suddenly had a euphoric look upon her face. "Where's Hermione?"

"I don't know."

"What?"

"I said I don't know and I don't really care either." He snapped.

"She's your best friend."

"Yeah well she also betrayed me. I can't believe you're sticking up for her. Are you not thinking about Ron at all? About what she's doing to him?"

Ginny looked down with a pained look in her face. "Ron's dead."

"So that gives her the right to go be with anyone just hours after his death? Especially Malfoy! Of all the people to move onto so fast she chose Malfoy?"

"Listen I loved my brother you know that but you didn't see her and Malfoy together. Even though he's treated her and everyone else like dirt there was so much love in that one moment."

"So let's say he really does care about her but what happened to those seven years with Ron? What happened to all those feelings? How do they just disappear?"

"I don't know."

"And I'm just supposed to believe that Malfoy suddenly found a conscience and switched sides?"

"He did. He fought with us Harry."

Harry rubbed his face with both hands in frustration. "Ugh I can't believe you."

"What I am doing besides telling you the truth?"

"You're siding with Draco Malfoy."

Ginny was appalled. "I'm on your side. I always am. I just want you to ease up on Hermione."

"Why? She's going against everything we just fought for."

"How? How is that going against it? In fact I think it's supporting everything you just fought for. Draco Malfoy, pureblood Death Eater, is in love with Hermione Granger, Muggle-born and best friend to The Boy Who Lived."

"That's another thing. You keep saying they're in love. They've only just started being nice to each other. How can they possibly be in love?"

"I'm not saying they are but that's just my opinion from what I saw. Please just ease up."

"I can't."

"Don't you see what she's going through?" He silently stood there. "Well she's obviously sad about Ron and therefore confused about being with Draco and whether it's right all while seeking our, your approval. Listen," she took his hands in hers, "I trust Hermione. So if she trusts Draco then I trust Draco. She's a smart girl. If there's a reason she's befriended him then it must be a pretty good one."

He took a deep breath. "I need to go find her." Ginny smiled.

Harry opened the door and there stood a soaking wet Hermione. "Hi."

She's not going to be suicidal anymore I promise. I'm also trying to throw in a little Harry/Ginny as I'm sure you've all noticed but only a little. Thanks for reading.
