This is set right before the final Battle of Hogwarts. Any quotes that I use from the boy are set in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Chapters 29 on page 589 and chapter 30 on pages 605 and 607 all on the US paperback version.

Moving as quickly as the passage would allow Ginny went. This was her chance to get back to all her friends. Her chance to see her missing brother and best friend. Her chance to see him.

They had been gone since Bill's wedding. Ten months. Ten months to the day. She had been thinking about it. It couldn't leave her mind. It was a constant pressure in the back of her mind. Her brother, her best friend, her Harry.

Fred was right behind her, trying to keep pace. Being taller in this situation was not a good thing, with the passage being so small. George and Lee Jordan brought up the rear, talking quietly. Fred was the one who took Ginny from her own thoughts, "Ginny?"

No stopping her current pace she responded, "Mmmm Fred?"

Her prankster brother was being quiet as not no draw attention, something he didn't usual do, "You alright with…. You know… everything?" He left a slight implication on everything.

Fred was the sibling she had talked to during these long ten months. She told him everything. Her fears and worries. She told him about her current year at Hogwarts and she told him about her past year. He knew about the Carrows and he knew about Harry.

She wanted to falter to, to turn around and hug him, but she always knew that time was important in battle. She settled on turning her head and giving him a quick nod, "Yeah Fred, I'm fine. To be honest I'm more anxious than anything. I mean the message says 'we're fighting'. I'm ready to take down the stupid death eaters."

Fred remained silent for a moment. The tunnel was starting to slope upwards, causing Ginny's fast and steady pace to slow. This gave Fred a chance to catch up to his sister. "Everything will be fine Gin-Gin," Ginny scowled at the use of her least favorite nickname. "And there was another part of that message. Harry's back Ginny." He didn't say it in a mocking tone as he once would have. He said it in a comforting voice.

Ginny could feel her a small smile start to form on her lips, "Well you know Harry, Fred. That boy has such a hero complex. He probably hear about the Carrows treatment and thought 'oh I need to be the hero. Ron, Hermione, I'm off to save the day again.'"

Fred started to laugh. The sound echoed off the walls of the passage. Ginny turned her head so she could see her brothers face. His eyes were crinkled at the corners and his face was slightly flushed with his exuberance

"I bet," Fred started after his laughter subsided. "That he thought of a certain redhead."

Ginny continued walking, but she flicked her hair with the back of her hand. "As he should."

Fred chuckled again. The end of the passage was finally in slight. Finally she was going to be back. She was ready to see her school and all her fellow DA members. She was ready to see the trio who had been missing. She was ready to see him.

She halted right in front of the door. Taking a steadying breath. Fred placed a hand on her shoulder, "You go be the first one Ginny. I wouldn't want to distracting him with devilish good looks."

Ginny laughed, another smile lit up her face. She turned around and hugged her brother. He returned the embrace. "I love you, Fred."

"I love you too, Gin Gin. Now go." He released her. She turned back around and opened the door. Light billowed out, making it hard to see. Ginny blinked trying to adjust her vision. Instantly her eyes fell on him.

His hair was longer since the last time she had seen him. A beard was positioned on his face. His demeanor was tired and stressed. He looked almost like another person, but his eyes gave him away. Her favorite feature on him. His emerald eyes, semi hidden behind his glasses, shown that it was really him. Really Harry.

She had spent countless, joyous hours looking into those eyes at the end of last term. She could pick them out of any crowd. She knew their shape. She knew that they would darken if he talked about something that made him sad. She knew the way the would spark when she would lean in for a kiss.

She moved out of the door, the smile Fred had placed on her face growing to a size that was just to large for her face. She made eye contact with green orbs. His face stayed the same, but his eyes told another story. He was drinking her in, looking at her like he had ever seen her before.

Fred followed behind her, telling the room at large about the bar keeper. Ginny didn't even bother to try to listen. All attention was on Harry, all her senses were focused on him. Harry's mouth dropped open, his eyes finally falling off her. Slightly annoyed she turned to see what took away his eyes. Cho Chang, Harry's ex girlfriend. The slight annoyance expanded. 'Bloody Cho Chang' Ginny let out a slight huff and noticed Luna's dirty blond hair.

Ginny headed over to her friend, giving her a hug. "Luna I missed you. After you were taken I was so worried."

Luna returned her hug, "Oh I missed you too Ginny. It was bad, but then Harry came and saved me and Mr. Ollivander."

Ginny refrained a snort. 'Of course it was Harry and his hero complex.' She released Luna from her arms, taking the seat Luna had been near. Luna perching herself on the arm.

"What about you Ginny?" Though Luna didn't say say the words out right, Ginny knew she was asking really about seeing Harry. She and Luna had talked multiple times during the first term. Ginny had told her about how much she missed her ex boyfriend.

"It…" Ginny started. It was hard to explain her feelings. She was happy to see Harry, but at the same time she was angry because she couldn't go up and talk to him. It was clear he was here for a purpose. He was doing his 'whisper and conspire with Ron and Hermione thing'.

Luna nodded, seeming to understand her. "I can bet Ginny, but did you see the way he looked at you when you came in?"

Ginny could feel a small smile form again, before she could do a snappy comment Harry spoke. The room seemed to snap right to him, listening to his every word. Harry asked about a item that had once been Ravenclaws. Ravenclaw's around the room, including the one sat on the arm of Ginny's chair, explained about a diadem.

It wasn't until Cho spoke up about taking Harry to the Ravenclaw common room that Ginny spoke up, "No, Luna will take Harry, won't you, Luna?" She hadn't meant to say it, but jealousy was one of her faults, and the idea of Cho alone with Harry. Luna agreed and Ginny was forced to watch Harry leave again.

Glancing around the room she caught Fred's eyes. He was shaking with silent laughter. 'Smooth,' he mouthed at Ginny. As the mature person she was, Ginny stuck her tongue out at him.

She headed over in the direction of Ron and Hermione, who were still standing where Harry left them, muttering to each other. When she got close enough she heard Hermione, "How are we going to destroy both of them?"

"Well I don't know what your trying to destroy," Ginny said making the two people turn, "But just one whiff of Ron and they will at least half way there."

Hermione moved first, engulfing Ginny in a large hug that would have made Ginny's mother proud. "Oh Ginny. I've missed you." Ginny gratefully returned the hug.

"I've missed you too. Even you Ron." Ron snorted. When Hermione pulled back Ron wrapped his arms around Ginny as well.

"Of course you've missed me, I'm a delight." Ginny laughed and held her brother closer. Ron pulled back but continued to look at her, then his eyes started to glaze. Then just as suddenly his eyes shot open wide and he whooped.

"Hermione come on! I know how to destroy them! The bathroom!" He grabbed Hermione's hand, pulling her out of the room towards the same exit that had taken Harry from her. Damn that exit.

She mulled around the room. Talking with other members of the DA. People were constantly coming through the passage. Remus Lupin and Kingsley Shacklebolt, and multiple other Order members.

The moment Molly Weasley came in the room, Ginny knew she was in trouble. Her mother came straight over to where she stood with Fred and George. She tried to go with a winning and innocent smile, "Hello Mum. Wonderful to see you."

Before Molly could yell at her only daughter, Harry came back into the room. It was as if the boy demanded attention. People instantly focused on him. People questioned what was going on. Harry told the room at large that Voldemort was on the way and they were preparing for battle in the Great Hall.

People surged forwards, Ginny trying to be apart of the crowd. Her mother stopping her, claiming she was too young, Ginny's least favorite reason for anything. Ginny argued with her mother, using the reason she had been fighting all year. Fred and George agreed with her, but Molly shot them down.

"I can't go home!" Ginny couldn't stop the rage induced tears from springing to her eyes. "My whole family's here, I can't stand waiting there alone and not knowing and -" Finally she caught Harry's eyes, making her stop mid sentence.

She looked into his eyes, beseeching him to agree with her. He had trained her in the DA, she had battled with him at the Department of Mysteries. Hell she had defended Hogwarts last year.

His eyes held hers. She could see fear in his eyes. Fear that was related to Ginny. She knew that look. It was close to the one he had when he broke up with her during Dumbledore's funeral. The one he had used when he talked about the idea of her being killed. 'Harry and his knight in white armor attitude.'

He shook his head. Ginny had to turn away from him. 'Oh when this is all over… He is not gonna hear the end of this one,' Ginny thought as she told her mother bitterly that she would leave. Then Percy came through the passage.

It had to be one of the most awkward family moments of all time. No red haired Weasley said a word. Fleur tried to play a distraction, but nothing seemed to bring the infamous red haired family out of their thoughts.

Finally Percy spoke up, claiming he was wrong. Fred was the first to accept him back. Ginny knew this was time to move while her mother was distracted. She inched towards the exit. Her mother's scream eventually halting her progress.

Ginny's father made a compromise, which Ginny agreed, though begrudgingly. Harry then called attention to himself again. He asked about Ron and Hermione. Her father said they must have headed to the Great Hall. Ginny knew better.

"They said something about a bathroom not long after you left." Ginny told Harry, trying not to let her anger get the better of her. 'Oh I will get to tell him off later for not agreeing with me.' Harry was looking in the makeshift bathroom the Room of Requirement had produced, when it happened.

He grabbed his scar, pain flashing through his face, eyes closed. He slid door the frame of the door, down to a sitting position. Ginny's anger evaporated instantly, as she moved over to the boy who lived. She grabbed his forearm, dropping to her knees.

"Harry, what -" His eyes flew open, quickly scanning the room, he stopped on Ginny.

"He's ready for battle," Harry told her weakly, making to stand up. Ginny helped him gingerly.

Harry stared at her. His eyes falling onto hers. He seemed to be trying to communicate everything. He wanted her to understand. He wanted her to be safe.

Harry made a movement like he was going to leave, however Ginny was not going to have it, not at least without a goodbye.

"Just kiss me Potter, before you go off and save -" She was unable to complete her sentence, his lips pressed hard on to hers. It was just like all those times last year. It felt right, though this time there was urgency and more emotions passing through.

Ginny removed her hand from his arm and wrapped it around his neck, while his moved to her waist. All too quickly Harry pulled back, placing his forehead against hers.

"Stay safe Gin," He whispered. He kissed his nose and removed himself from her arms, running full speed towards the exit.

Before he could get through the door Ginny yelled, "You better come back to me Potter!"

Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed. I have found that I tend to like writing from Ginny's point of view. I relate to her, she never seems to know when to use sass and when not to use sass. Anyways, if you would like to suggest anything I would love to hear it. You can leave it in a review or PM me if you have any thoughts.
