I'm alive! Sorry about the extended break, guys - I've been so busy since I got back and this fic has been the last thing on my mind. I'm actually dancing in a show that opens next week so I have three or four rehearsals a week for that, plus work, plus my normal dance schedule, music and everything else I do... but that's enough of my whining.

I think this is the first time we've seen Arthur in this story? *scratches head* I can't remember lol. Anyway enjoy!

Harry,

I want you to know that Ginny is safe and well. She is staying with me in my flat in Edinburgh.

She told me everything that happened. I do not know your side of the story but I cannot believe you would cheat on her. I will try my best to get her to talk to you.

"She was never one to beat around the bush, was she?" says Arthur. "Just like her father."

"You're not wrong," says Harry.

Arthur places the note back on the table. "Thankyou for showing me, Harry." He doesn't meet his eyes.

"I thought you had as much right as I did to know what's going on," says Harry.

"Yes, quite."

In the ten years Harry has known Arthur, he has been nothing but kind to him. It would be safe to say that Arthur was the most stable father figure Harry ever had. For the first time, though, Arthur's attitude is cold. Harry cannot help but feel that he is being blamed for Ginny's disappearance.

"I'd best be off," says the older man, rising from the table.

"Arthur, wait," says Harry. There is a pause as he tries to find the words.

"Yes?"

"You don't—you don't think I…"

Arthur sighs. "Think that you were unfaithful? No, Harry, I don't. I couldn't for a second believe that you would hurt Ginny like that. But I also don't think she would leave so suddenly if there wasn't something else going on. Do you?"

Please review! It's the only payment I get for what I do :)
