Two years after their marriage, Harry and Ginny were cleaning out their house, when Harry had found a peculiar box lying in Ginny's closet.
"Ginny!" He called into the hall, "what's this?"
"What's what?" She replied, walking into the bedroom after Harry.
"Oh," she said softly, sitting down on the bed, smiling, "it's full of letters to you, from my sixth year when you were out hunting horcruxes."
"Can I read them Gin?" Harry asked, sitting beside her on bed.
Ginny nodded, and opened the box on Harry's lap. Parchment folded up into neat squares filled the box, overflowing a little.
"Dear Harry," Harry began, reading aloud, "I miss you. Hogwarts just isn't the same without you, Fred, or George. With Snape as Headmaster, and the Carrows teaching DADA, it's almost impossible to have fun around here. Neville, Luna and I are now the leaders of the DA, but after the sword incident, I've decided it's really time to fight back. I hope you will come back soon, and even though I am not sending these letters –it would be too dangers for you and I- I am reminded by your sweet smile every time I write to you. It keeps me going. Pretty soon, I think war will break at Hogwarts. I love you, Harry Potter. ~Ginny Weasley," Harry finished, slowly.
It had been hard breaking up with Ginny after Dumbledore's death, but there was no other way. He had only seen her cry once at Fred's death, but even then she remained strong. He had no idea that age 16, she was that hurt. He hugged her and held her close.
"Do I dare read another?" He asked her.
"I wrote one after you went to the Forbidden Forest, that one is very sad, for me anyways. You don't have to read them at all if you don't want to" Ginny answered.
"Find that one please," he answered.
Opening up the folded parchments, Ginny finally found what she was looking for. Handing it to him, he began to read.
"Dear Harry,
I must say I am absolutely furious with you. I got one kiss before you left, and that was ages ago! No goodbye, no explanation. I can't lose you too. Our whole family is a mess now that Fred is gone; I wouldn't nor couldn't stand to have you gone too. I better stop writing, the ink is smudging.

HARRY POTTER YOU ABSOLUTE GIT!
Have you no idea how heart wrenching it was to see you dead? Have you no idea how much you mean to me? If you didn't hear me scream, "NO," and then collapse on the ground, you sir, need your hearing checked, and a slap. I was numb Harry, goddamn numb, and you pretend to be dead. Not even a twitch to help us, to help me. I have been in love with you since the first day I met you. I have longed for your touch since you left me. I have melted looking into those gorgeous green eyes, and you have no idea what it was like.
You best hope I forgive you.
~Ginny Weasley
"I'm sorry," Harry whispered in her ear, stroking her hair, holding her tight. "I never meant for you to feel that way."
"I know, love, I know," Ginny replied through teary eyes.
Harry continued to read through all the letters, and after each one feeling guiltier. Deciding to himself he would make all this up to her, he came to the conclusion: the power of words is mighty; the power of love is infinite.
