I've written it. Chapter 5 and it has Ginny in it. It's not dramatic. But I quite like it. Thanks for the reviews. Please keep them coming.
Harry finished his soup and toast thinking about what George had just said. Placing the plates back on the tray he wondered just where Ginny was. He really hoped she hadn't already gone to bed. Deciding he wasn't going to wait until someone came up to see him again he pulled himself out of Ron's bed ran his fingers through his messy hair knowing that it probably wouldn't help it look any better, and straighten his T-shirt, wincing with most of the movements. He guessed it was probably time to take some more Pain Relieving Potion as well.
He picked up the tray and decided to take it down stairs himself, walking down the stairs he couldn't help but look through Ginny's slightly open door on the first floor to make sure she wasn't in her bedroom, and was pleased to see that she wasn't already tucked up in bed, considering it was well after 10pm now.
Reaching the last landing he found himself looking down at most of the Weasley's sitting at the Kitchen table with Hermione except for George, Ginny and Fleur.
"Oh Harry, you didn't need to bring that down." Molly exclaimed getting up to take the tray off him as he walked down the last few steps. "You're supposed to be resting."
"I'm fine Mrs. Weasley just need some more pain potion." Harry answered her aware of everyone looking at him.
"Call me Molly you're of age now and family." She told him.
Hermione had jumped up at Harry's mention of the Pain Potion. "I'll just get it for you." She said.
Harry nodded, and Percy pointed to the seat that was empty next to him. "Take a seat we've had enough drama in the last few days. Don't need you collapsing again."
"Perce I do believe you have finally developed a sense of humor." Charlie commented. "You want a butter beer Harry?" He asked him.
Harry had to wonder just how long everyone was going to be trying to take care of him. "Ahmmm…I was hoping to talk to Ginny, do you know where she is?"
"You're brave." Ron snorted. Until Hermione slapped him on the head on her way to hand Harry the Pain Potion.
"Take this. She's in the family room with Fleur." Hermione told him as she handed him the vial.
"You sure you don't want a few shots of Fire Whisky First?" Bill asked getting up.
"I think we've had enough jokes about your sister today." Arthur shook his head. "She needs support. Not mocking."
Bill smiled at his father but clearly couldn't help himself. "I'll come with you. You know for protection, and to see if I can get my wife back. She's spent the day looking after Ginny."
Harry just nodded downed the potion, and after handing the vial back to Hermione followed Bill into the family room.
Entering the door just after Bill Harry was greeted by Fleur sitting on the couch holding a finger to her lips with a "Shh…I've just got her to sleep." Pointing to Ginny who was curled up next to her, her head resting on Fleur's lap, while Fleur's other hand ran over her hair.
Harry immediately wished he was in Fleur's current position. But felt he could stand there all night and watch Ginny sleep she looked so peaceful and beautiful. Bill looked from his wife and back to Harry then flicked his wand making the large wing back chair that normally faced the fire to move in front of the couch.
"Take a seat Harry." He said pointing at it. Then moved another chair for himself to sit on.
Harry sat down thankful for the support of the high back on the chair. "Is…is she feeling better?" He asked Fleur.
Fleur smiled back at him. "Ohz Harry you have no idea how nice it iz to see thatz you carz for her too." She spoke softly.
Harry felt his cheeks burning while Bill continued to look from his wife, to his baby sister then back at Harry. "So there is something going on between the two of you then?" He asked. "I've known for years she's had a crush on you. But I thought it was just that, an infatuation with the Great Harry Potter."
"Shez been in luv." Fleur counted her Husband.
Bill rolled his eyes. "Love at first sight when your 10, I don't think so."
"It canz happen, sometimez you just know. Ezzpecially as a wovman." Fleur looked at her Husband.
"She was 10. Hardly a woman and infatuation at first sight I can believe in but love?" Bill shook his head.
"It happenz."
Harry looked between Fleur and Bill. Suddenly remembering the first time Fleur had seen Bill at the Tri-wizard Tournament. He smiled at Fleur. "You haven't told him have you?" He asked Fleur quietly. She blushed glancing up at her husband.
"Tell me what?" Bill asked.
"She'll tell you later." Harry half smiled at him. Feeling a lot better about Ginny if Fleur was right she was still in love with him, could it be possible?
Bill shrugged shaking his head but gave in. "So tell me about you and Gin?"
Harry shrugged his shoulders. "We haven't really talked in almost a year. But if she can forgive me…" He finished off not really knowing what to say.
"Is it true you dumped her after only a few weeks at the end of your sixth year?" Bill asked, and Harry could see the concern in his face.
"Billz dear, it's not the time for 20 questionz." Fleur answered.
But Harry didn't mind too much. He wanted to be honest with Ginny's family, and with Ginny. He knew he had hurt her then and in the room of requirement when he didn't want her to fight. But he needed them to understand it was only because he felt he would have died if something had happened to her.
"It's fine." Harry answered looking at Fleur then back to Bill. "I didn't know how I felt about her until she was with someone else. Then when they broke up I felt like it was the best thing in the world. But she was Ron's sister, I mean talk about awkward. Then it just happened one day. I was in detention instead of playing Quidditch but they still won the house cup. When I returned to the common room she ran to hug me and I just couldn't help it. We kissed. Right there in front of everyone and, Ron didn't punch me." He half smiled remembering.
Bill nodded. "So what happened?"
"Life, Tom Riddle, a death sentence hanging over me." Harry mumbled continuing to look at Bill. "When Dumbledore died, and you got hurt. I felt responsible. I realised that everyone who had anything to do with me was in danger. Ginny was too close. If Tom knew how I felt about her. If he hurt her to get to me I just couldn't have lived with myself." Harry sighed. "So I broke her heart."
"Harry, yourz soz sweet." Fleur whispered.
"And now?" Bill asked. "She's only 16 and been through a lot this year."
"So have I." Harry answered. "But now if she'll have me I'll hopefully never hurt her again. She's what's kept me going this year. Thinking of her, you have no idea what it was like seeing her after 10 months when she climbed through the tunnel from the Hogs Head the other day. I had so much to do, but all I could think about was how beautiful she looked."
Harry looked from Bill back to Ginny as he said the last bit to find her watching him. Eyes wide and looking like she was just about to start crying. "Oh, Harry." She whispered.
Fleur looked down at her and smiled. "I zinc we vill leave you two to talkz." She said lifting Ginny's head and placing a cushion under it as she stood up.
Bill stood with his wife. "So what are you going to tell me later, that Harry knows and I don't?" He asked as they left the room.
Fleur looked up at Bill with love before turning and walking out the door. "Youz von't believe me anyway. You'lz just say itz was inzfatuation."
Harry smiled at them then looked back at Ginny. "Hey." He said not quite sure what to say or even what she had heard. Suddenly feeling like the next few moments would define the rest of his life.
Ginny snuggled against the cushion Fleur had placed under her head, looking at Harry, seemly taking him in inch by inch. "I'm sorry for poking you." She whispered, holding out a hand.
Harry couldn't help but lean forward and take it squeezing it as he wrapped both of his hands around it. "And I'm sorry for scaring you." He whispered back.
Ginny just squeezed back, sighed and closed her eyes. "I don't know if I'll ever get over the sight of you lying in Hagrid's arms. I thought my life was over."
Harry nodded. "I felt the same when Bellatrix almost hit you with that killing curse. I swear I would have killed her if your Mum hadn't."
Ginny nodded. "I'm so tired. Stay with me?" She whispered closing her eyes again.
Harry couldn't help be smile. "Always." He answered with another squeeze of her hand and sat back in the winged back chair again still holding her hand, content to just watch her sleep and maybe catch some more himself.
