The return
Ginny was scared, utterly terrified at the prospects of setting foot anywhere near the place she had left 6 years ago, but she knew she had to do it, not for herself but for him it just wasn't fair to him any more, it wasn't fair to any of them any more. Ginny sat in the airport terminal waiting for her flight to be called, she was sitting on a hard plastic chair with 2 pieces of hand luggage next to her.
"Sit still" Ginny instructed to her boy next to her who was kicking his legs impatiently against the blue chair
"Can we go now?" The boy said still bored. twiddling his thumbs.
"Not until the man says we can" Ginny said pointing at the speaker.
"When will that be" The boy said getting irritated.
"Soon, do you want to colour " Ginny asked getting out some pens from her bag.
"No, i want to get on the plane" The boy said and Ginny sighed.
"Flight BA002 to London Gatwick, England all passengers with small children can now board, i repeat all passengers with small children can board." The speaker's announced and Ginny hastily got onto her feet.
"Come on its time to get on the plane" Ginny said taking the boy by his hand.
"But we haven't got any small children" The boy protested crossing his hands.
"Yes we do, we have you" Ginny said as she picked up their bags.
"I'm not small" The boy argued.
"I know you are not but you want to get on the plane don't you" Ginny said nodding at the boy.
"Not now only when they say the big boys can go on the plane" The young boy said crossing his arms.
"I don't have time for this, come on" Ginny said walking toward the line of children, waiting for the boy to follow her.
"No" the boy said impatiently stamping his foot.
"Look there are other boys your age there, you can go play with them in the line" Ginny said nodding towards a woman with 3 boys running round her, she was reminded of her brothers faintly for a moment.
"No" the boy refused again and Ginny grabbed his hand and pulled him along.
"Did you here that" Ginny said pointing up to the speaker.
"No" the boy said looking up at the speaker curiously.
"It said all big boys can go wait in the line, come on now" Ginny said trying to get the boy across to the line.
"No it didn't" the boy said looking up at the speaker again.
"Yes it did you just couldn't hear it because you were talking" Ginny said and the little boy finally followed her into the line. They were at the very back of the line just behind a young couple with a baby and a small boy.
"This is boring" the boy complained after only being in the line for 2 minutes.
"We are nearly at the front now" Ginny said, pointing to the front of the queue where the mother and her 3 boys were standing.
"That's ages away" the boy moaned.
"No it's not" Ginny argued back. Soon enough they had reached the front of the queue.
"Boarding passes please" The woman at the front desk asked smiling at her.
"here" Ginny said passing them over, the woman looked at them for a few moments before they left for the plane.
"Look, look, mum there's the plane" the boy said pointing toward a giant white plane.
"Don't run of" Ginny said as she pulled the boy back from running off towards the plane without her. They followed the other passengers as they climbed up the stairs onto the plane. The boys eyes lit up as he saw the blue interior of the plane
"Seats 22A and B" Ginny said as they walked through the aisle before sitting down.
"Look, look" The boy said pointing out the window to where some workers were driving a lorry load of suitcases ready to be put on the Plane.
"Ok 22C, 23A, 23B and 23C" They heard a panicky woman in front of her say.
"Ok Chris, Daniel you'll sit with me and Toby you will sit opposite us" The woman instructed
"Yes mum" all 3 of the boys chanted.
"Toby, you be on your best behaviour and don't talk to strangers ok, if you need me i'll be in right opposite you"
"Ok" Toby said as he took a seat next to Ginny. Ginny recognized him as one of fothe 3 boys she had pointed out earlier. The plane journey had been terrible, Ginny was stuck between two toddlers chatting away about nonsense, acting like best friends even though they had just met, Ginny had never been so happy then when the plane had reached the ground.
"Come on" Ginny said taking her sons hand.
"I don't want to leave" he responded, gazing out the window.
"Why, not" Ginny asked.
"I like it here" he replied, his eyes still firmly fixated out the window
"You can't stay here we have to go outside" Ginny said annoyed at her son's antics.
"It's raining" he stated
"Of course , it's raining it's England" Ginny snapped and the boy begrudgingly followed her out of the plane and into the cold ground of London

Ginny was now about to attempt the toughest thing she'd ever done, go home several thoughts swam through her mind 'What if they hated her?'Ginny thought a huge lump in her throat 'What if they couldn't accept her?'. If things had not changed since Ginny left then they would be having a Weasley Sunday dinner today, she would have to face all of them and explain why she did what she did. Walking down the old path she had walked so many times as a young child, Ginny came to the spot where she was near where her brother was buried.
"Where we going" her young son asked as they walked up a hill away from the house.
"Just making a quick stop" Ginny said as they walked up towards the gravestone, but something made Ginny's heart stop for a moment there wasn't just the one gravestone, but two. A flurry of panic came over Ginny, who else had died, 'George, Mum, Harry' sickness sweeped over her as her bent down to look at the gravestone next to Fred's.
It read:
Ginevra Molly Weasley
11th August 1981- 17th September 1999
Age: 18
Caring Daughter, Sister and Friend
"You are loved more than you'll ever know by someone who died to know to know you"
Reality hit Ginny fast, They thought she was dead, how could she go back now?. Ginny started to sob as she looked over at her brother's gravestone
"Mummy, why are you crying" Ginny looked up to see her son, his brown eyes filled with tears as well, she had to be brave for him even if it meant confronting her family.
"No reason, come on let's go" Ginny said taking hold of his hand and walking back down the hill onto the muddy path. Ginny could see the her old home in the distance almost all the lights were on and the curtains were drawn, the house still looked as old and dilapidated as it always did, the garden was still well kept and Ginny could see a chicken walking around the garden, the rain was pouring fast onto both of them as they pulled their hoods over their hair and made their way over to the front door. Ginny took a deep breath and used all her Gryffindor courage to knock on the door.
