This is my new H/G fic. Il try balancing two fics because DH comes out soner then we think And I would like a fic on my opinions before the bok! Enjoy! This fic is based on the song 'Ill Stamnd By You' by Carrie Underwood The video is here!

Chapter 1:
The Prologue

The wind blew fiercely. Papers flew through the air as the wind speed increased. A young man got up from his bed and struggled to shut his windows. After a few tugs, the window snapped shut and the boy relaxed on his bed once again.

The boy then looked to the left to see another boy. The boy was snoring loudly and grunted once in a while. The other boy just smiled.

They - of course- were friends, best mates to put it actually. The boy who was smiling had jet black untidy hair. His eyes were emerald green and he had a remarkable scar on his forehead.

The scar was shaped like a lightning-bolt. This boy has had the scar since he was one year old. This scar had made the boy famous. Famous for surviving death. But, the scar was worse than that. It was a curse, a promise, a deed, and a sign.

The scar marked the decision of one evil wizard - yes, wizard, and how it would affect his life. The scar cursed the boy with powers he didn’t deserve or need. The power to finish off the evil wizard.

The evil wizard had created such destruction and ended so many innocent lives. And with two words and one scar - a boy's future would change for eternity.

But who could this evil wizard and amazing boy be? None other than - Lord Voldemort, the worst person you'll ever meet and Harry Potter, the boy with the scar.

But of course, none of that really did matter? So, Harry had to save the entire world, so what? He had months, he was only 17 for crying out loud! He had more important things on his mind, his ex girlfriend, his friends, his school, and his true family.

See, Harry never really had a family. Lord Voldemort murdered Harry's parents on October 31. Yes, Halloween, the spookiest day of the year. James and Lily Potter - soul mates as it seemed, died to protect their son not knowing what type of burden they left for him.

So, young Harry was sent to his mum's sister, Aunt Petunia. She and her husband - Vernon decided to make Harry miserable. I mean who could blame them, they opened their door to see a baby on their doorstep. A baby they definitely did not want.

Aunt Petunia always hated her sister Lily. She would say 'Freak' or ''Abnormal' to describe her, but they took Harry and raised him.

Even if it was in a small cupboard and broken glasses. It was ten years later that Harry escaped to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. There he found out about his past and how he was famous, and then he met Ronald Weasley, the snoring boy.

Harry shook his friend Ron. Ron had red hair and blue eyes. Ron woke immediately wiping the drool from his mouth.

"Pleasant dreams I presume?" Harry joked.
"Shut up" Ron muttered.

They were, of course, talking about Rons crush - Hermione Granger. She was asleep in the room next door. She had bushy brown hair and brown eyes. Ron had a crush on her since 3rd year.

They got dressed and walked across the hall. Harry knocked on the door but there was no response.

"Extendable Ear?" Harry offered
"Thank you" Ron said.

They listened to Hermione muttering to herself. Apparently, she was trying to figure out what shirt Ron would like most on her. Harry started laughing and said

"She likes you mate"

But then he said in a loud voice, "Hermione! If you are wondering what shirt Ron would prefer you to wear I'll give you a hint -" Harry began.
"Harry don’t!" Ron said.
"The red one he got you last year!" Harry laughed.

There was a huge noise made in the room and then Hermione answered the door - dressed.

"Harry. You know that Ron got me a blue shirt with red hearts on the front and streamers on the end." Hermione said.
"My mistake. How could I forget every detail?" Harry asked.
"Come on now lets get some breakfast so we can finally leave. Oh and Happy Birthday" Hermione said walking out of her room tossing a package.

They walked downstairs and quickly got a bowl of cereal. They ate in silence not wanting to wake Harry's Aunt and Uncle. After, they all headed to Harry's room to discuss their plans.

"Ok, now after we get to the Burrow, we say hello, unpack, and leave Harry alone with Ginny" Ron said.
"Guys no, please - this is already painful" Harry said.
"Its' painful, good then you'll get back together with her" Hermione said hitting his head.
"I'm doing this for her protection!" Harry said.
"Her protection? If she wanted to - she could jump off a bridge because she wants to be with you. Then what would you say?" Hermione asked.
"That I was an idiot and lost the girl of my dreams" Harry replied.

He had been getting these lectures every day.

"Good, now. We go to the Burrow and you kiss her and apologize for being an idiot! Or I'll push you together myself!" Hermione exclaimed.
"Fine, you push me - I'm gonna push you!" Harry said.

Ron shot Harry a 'don’t-you-dare' glance but Harry shrugged. Harry pushed Ron and Hermione together until Ron finally kissed her. Hermione kissed him back and Harry let go of his friends.

They finally broke apart and smiled. Harry was beaming and said with confidence "Now you can push me"

They all laughed but stopped as they heard footsteps. The door opened for them to see Aunt Petunia.

"What's so funny?" she snapped.
"Nothing" Harry muttered.
"Boy, aren't you leaving today?" she asked hopefully.
"Yes, right now actually." Harry said and stood up.
"Locomotor Mortis!" Harry said clearly pointing his wand at his trunk.

His trunk rose into the air - Ron and Hermione did the same. They walked downstairs and put their trunks down.

"Bye Dursleys!" Harry said and walked out the door of Number 4 Privet Drive.
"Good riddance!" Uncle Vernon called out the window.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione looked up and down the street. Hermione took Ron's arm and looked at Harry.

"I'll be right back for you" she said and disappeared in a second with Ron and their trunks.

Harry took one last look at Privet Drive and remembered all of his memories there - horrible memories. Hermione reappeared seconds later and took Harry's arm.

"Ready Harry?" she asked.
"Yeah, time to go" Harry sighed.
"On my count. 1, 2, 3" Hermione said and then they turned and disappeared.

Chapter 2:
Back At Home

Harry opened his eyes to see the Burrow in front of him. Ron and Hermione were already heading for the door. Harry grabbed his trunk and followed them.

He walked inside to be greeted by Mrs. Weasley. She hugged them all tightly.

"How are you dears? Everyone's missed you" Mrs. Weasley said after letting go of Harry.
"Were fine mum," Ron said.
"How was it there?" she asked.
"Horrible. They have a dog flap to feed Harry. They treat him likes he's an animal" Hermione said.
"Trust me. It was worse. I used to sleep in that cupboard downstairs" Harry said.
"I can't believe that!" Ron said outraged.

Then all of a sudden, they heard the stairs creak. They looked up to see Ginny walking down the stairs. She smiled at them and waved.

"Hey guys. Im glad you all are alright." She said after hugging Ron and Hermione.
"Hello Harry. Its nice to see you again" Ginny said politely.
"Yeah. Nice to see you too" Harry said smiling.

'Goodness shes beautiful. Why did I break up with her? Oh yeah. To protect her. Maybe it won't hurt to go out with her for the summer?' Harry's thoughts wondered around him and apparently the conversation had continued without him.

"Well. Im going. Mum said I could visit Kyle and spend the day." Ginny said walking over to the fireplace.
"Kyle?" Harry croaked.

Ginny looked at Harry. She felt bad - she knew she had hurt him. But it was him who ended the relationship. All she could do was move on.

"Yeah. Kyle Richardson. Hes a great friend of mine. I really like him. I'll see you guys later" Ginny said and waved goodbye.

Ginny stepped into the fireplace and looked at them all. She took a deep breath and said clearly 'Richardson Mansion'

Ginny disappeared in green flames and then there was a long silence.

Ron finally broke the silence after a few moments by saying, "I never heard of Kyle Richardson Harry, I swear!"
"She never mentioned him to me either" Hermione added looking worried.
"Im going to take a walk. I'll un-pack later." Harry said sadly
"Harry I -" Hermione began but Harry cut him off.
"I just want to be alone" Harry said and walked outside.

Harry walked around outside to the gardens. Thinking. That’s all he was doing. Thinking. He didn't care where he was going, he just kept thinking.

He had lost his Ginny. She was gone. He made a mistake and she left. She was sad but moved on leaving Harry out of her life. He continued to think of everything he could have done better. But it didn’t matter. Ginny had Kyle now.

~~~~~~~~~

Ginny appeared in a large mansion. She sighed and took a deep breath. She wiped a tear and then jumped and screamed in fright.

A dark figure was moving towards her. The person came out of nowhere. Then it spoke gently and calmly.

"Did it work? Is he miserable?" the figure asked.
"Yes" Ginny smiled. "Very miserable"
"Excellent - our plan is working as we wanted. Soon his heart will be destroyed" the voice said and began to laugh as Ginny joined in the laughing too.

Chapter 3:
The Secret

Ginny got out of the fireplace. She stared at the figure for what seemed like an eternity. She didn't feel like herself. She was walking without knowing where she was going. The figure beckoned her to the next room. She followed no questions asked.

They walked into the room. There stood a table of the darkest green you’ll ever find. The chairs along side of the table were blood-shot red. A man walked up to the figure smiling. He spoke in a rapid whisper, then snapped at the figure. Eventually, the man spoke loudly.

"I SAID RELESASE HER!" the man exclaimed. He had thrown his fist in the air and dove for his wand. He pointed it to the figure with an evil smile upon his face.

The figure shuddered. It raised her wand and released Ginny from her curse. Ginny fell to the ground and slowly opened her eyes. Those masks. She stood up shaking.

She watched the figures approach. Getting nearer and nearer. She saw their face - their masks. A woman forced her into a chair. A man came towards Ginny. His red eyes gleamed with evil. He walked around Ginny several times in a circle.

"So. This is what you bring me for Potters weakness. A silly little girl? But a Weasley none the less," the man said with a sly tone. Lord Voldemort smiled at Ginny with an evil glint in his eye.

Ginny didn't dare meet Voldemort's eyes. She tried to re-gain her voice- not to mention confidence. Emotions began to flood through her mind: fear, terror, panic. She took a deep breath and looked at him.

"What happened to Kyle Richardson?" she asked clearly.
"Excuse me?" Voldemort asked, looking her in the eye.
"What happened to Kyle Richardson. The boy who lives here. My friend! WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM AND HIS FAMILY?!" Ginny screamed.
"Well, you see, they wanted to keep their house. So I got rid of the wasted space. If you know what I mean," Voldemort said in an annoyingly self-centered tone while waving his hands.
"You’re a monster!" Ginny yelled.
"Why thank you. And you will become my servant or you will die." Voldemort snapped.

Ginny looked at him. She sneered at him for thinking of her as his servant. She looked him in the eye and laughed. Then spoke clearly to his face.

"I will never be your servant," she said.
"Fine. But what if I attacked Potter?" Voldemort asked. He noticed Ginny’s facial expressions change. He smiled.

"You have a soft spot for Potter. Lovely. This may work after all. Here is my deal. No curse. Go home be with your family. But find out everything you can. Destroy Potter's emotions so much that he didn't care if he died tomorrow. And I don't care how you do it. No telling anyone about our meeting for we will be watching you. Get every piece of information possible. You will return to here every two days at 2 o' clock sharp. You will report everything to my loyal followers or me. If you lie - we will kill you. If you are late - we will kill you. If you tell anyone - you better hope they are dieing because they will be dead in the next couple of hours. Get it? My Spy or Death. Take your pick," Voldemort snarled.

" I really don't have a choice now do I?" Ginny asked simply.
"You always have a choice," Voldemort replied simply.

Ginny looked at him and saw something different. She saw a man in a depressed manner. He was right - she had a choice.

"Till 2 o' clock on Wednesday then?" Ginny asked.
"Correct. Bella- let her go home. And Weasley? Potters emotions. Eliminate them. And you shall refer to me as 'my master'" Voldemort added.

Ginny took some floo powder from Rosier and got into the fireplace. She looked at them and replied.
"Goodbye Master."

Chapter 4:
Love Tease

The next morning Harry, Ron, and Hermione emerged from their bedrooms and walked downstairs. They entered the kitchen to see Ginny opening a letter at the table. She giggled while she read it. Harry tried to read it over her shoulder casually but she turned around before he could finish reading.

"Hello Harry, not eavesdropping are you?" Ginny smiled raising one eyebrow.
"Of course not, but why don't you read us that letter" Harry smiled putting his hands on her shoulders.

Ron and Hermione exchanged nervous glances. Ron was eating his cereal as Hermione was reading a book on the biography of Rowena Ravenclaw. They shifted in their chairs, and Ginny cleared her throat.

"Dear Ginny, I'm glad you enjoyed yesterday. I hope we can be together more often. You mentioned how painful it is to be around Harry. I want to comfort you. I'll see you soon, love Kyle xoxo" Ginny read smiling.

She looked up at Harry beaming to see him shocked. His jaw looked like it wanted to drop but it wouldn't fall. She saw tears forming in the corner of his left eye. She watched Ron drop his spoon and stop eating - which was a first. Then Hermione quietly shut her book - she had never shut a book so slowly in her life.

"What's with you three? Isn't he so sweet, I think I love him!" Ginny exclaimed happily and left the room hugging the letter.

She left the room as Harry, Ron, and Hermione started talking quietly about Kyle. As soon as Harry was out of sight, Ginny collapsed against the wall wiping her face.

'I'm torturing him' Ginny thought sadly. 'He's going to hate me now! But I have to do this...to save him' Ginny thought and quietly walked upstairs to plan for tomorrow.

~~~~~~~~

"SHE LOVES HIM!" Harry exclaimed.
"Harry, please calm down. I'll talk to her," Hermione said.
"This is just great. When I want her back - she gets herself a new guy!" Harry exclaimed.
"Look, this isn't like Ginny." Ron said.
"Its not. You're right. Talk to her Hermione" Harry said relaxing.
"Of course" Hermione said walking upstairs.

Hermione walked upstairs and opened Ginnys door quietly. Ginny was lying down on her bed - fast asleep. Kyle must have worn her out. But Hermione noticed that Ginny had her hand on something…

She removed it from the clutches of Ginny's hands. She looked at it and gasped. She stared at it - confused. There was a picture of Harry - and written on the back was a message. She read it quietly thinking to herself.

'The things I do are the things I do to protect you that way I can love you forever' the message read. It looked a lot like Ginny's handwriting.

Hermione sat there for who knows how long it seems trying to figure it out. She muttered the message over and over again. Each thing she thought of was less likely. After two hours she gave up and walked downstairs to see Ron and Harry playing a game of Wizard Chess.

Harry looked up at her as Ron's king won the game. She shrugged her shoulders and sat down next to Ron.

"What she say?" Harry asked eagerly.
"Well, she was asleep. But do you know about the saying ' The things I do are the things I do to protect you that way I can love you forever'?" Hermione asked.
"No" Harry shrugged.
"Really?" Hermione begged.
"I never heard of it" Harry said.
"Then they're goes theories 1 to 10" Hermione muttered to herself.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Harry was walking up to his room when he heard footsteps outside Ginny's room. He put his ear to the door and heard the scratching of a Quill. Ginny was awake once more. He knocked on the door and heard Ginny move many things around at once.

Ginny opened the door with a smile on her face. She was shocked to see Harry at her doorway but she invited him in. They both sat on Ginny's bed.

"Harry, are you ok?" Ginny asked concerned.
"I'm not sure. I'm thinking about my future, it seems dull at the moment" Harry said sadly.
"Why?" Ginny asked looking into his eyes.
"Because, there is a chance this might be my last chance with everyone" Harry said gazing at Ginny.
"What are you talking about?" Ginny asked worried.
"There is something I wanted to tell you. It's really important and you have to promise not to tell anyone" Harry said.

Ginny began to panic. Important? Not tell anyone? That won't make Voldemort happy. She can't hear this. It would put Harry in grave danger.

"You don't want to trust me" Ginny said quickly not meeting his eyes.
"Why can't I trust you?" Harry asked scared.
"Please, don't tell me whatever it is. I'm not that loyal." Ginny said getting scared. She knew Harry would get his way.
"Ginny. I trust you, I don't see any reason not to trust you" Harry said taking Ginnys hands.
"Ron, Hermione, and I are going to destroy Voldemort by destroying the pieces of his soul. We have a good guess on what they are. Before we are going to visit Godrics Hollow. Theres a prophecy, I have to kill him or he'll kill me." Harry said.

Ginny didn't look at him afraid. That was HUGE! Harry was now in more danger than ever.

"Ginny" Harry said.
"Yes" Ginny said.
"Want to know why I'm really sad about my future?" Harry asked.
"Why?" Ginny asked.
"Because I'm afraid that you won't be in it" Harry said simply and left the room.

Ginny sat there stunned. He liked her still. She was screwing herself over big time.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The day of Bill and Fleur's wedding day approached quickly. The Burrow was transformed with streamers and flowers. Outside was a gazebo and chairs set up. Then inside were trays of food.

Fleur was in a pearl white gown that went down to her knees. Her hair floated gracefully as she walked down the aisle to Bill. Gabriele followed in a light blue dress and lilac ribbons in her hair. Ginny followed wearing the same exact dress as Gabrielle except her hair was in dark blue ribbons.

"We are all gathered today to unite this couple in Holy Matromony . If anyone has any reason why these two should not be wed, speak now or forever hold your peace. the preacher said.

Mrs. Weasley shot Fred and George who were in the process of standing up. They sat down and listened to the rest of the ceremony.

"Do you Bill Weasley take Fleur Delacour to be your lawfully wedded wife." The preacher said.
"I do" Bill said smiling.
"And Miss Delacour. Are you sure you want this man as your husband?" the preacher asked.
"I do" Fleur said simply.
"Then by the power vested in me. I light this torch and seal your marriage. Go kiss!" the preacher announced lighting a torch outside the gazebo.

Then after Bill and Fleur kissed - they tossed they're rings into the flames to see them re- appear with the words flash across them and then fade,' Marriage Approved'

After everyone had they're dinner, there was dancing in the backyard. Bill and Fleur led everyone in the dancing and then were joined by many others. Fred and George decided to dance with themselves and Charlie was laughing at them both.

Everyone was surprised to see Ron and Hermione dancing comfortably except Harry who was just grinning. Harry got up and walked over to Ginny. He tapped her shoulder as she turned around quickly.

"Wanna dance?" he asked.
"Sure" Ginny said taking Harry's hand.

'Oh, why you look so sad? Tears are in your eyes Come on and come to me now.
Don't be ashamed to cry, let me see you through
Cause I've seen the dark side too.'


They walked to the dance floor and began to dance softly. Harry felt so happy. He looked down at Ginny who seemed to be tearing.

"Ginny, what's wrong?" Harry asked.
"I can't do this" she whispered.
"Do what?" he asked alarmed.
"I'm putting you in danger" Ginny teared.
"How are you putting me in danger?" Harry asked scared.
"I can't tell you" Ginny shuddered.

'When the night falls on you, you don't know what to do,
Nothing you confess could make me love you less
I'll stand by you, I'll stand by you, I won't let nobody hurt you,
I'll stand by you.

So, if you're mad get mad, don't hold it all inside,
Come on and talk to me now
hey, what you got to hide? I get angry too
But I'm alot like you.

When you're standing at the crossroads, don't know which path to choose,
Let me come along, cause even if your wrong

I'll stand by you, I'll stand by you, I won't let nobody hurt you,
I'll stand by you.
Take me in into your darkest hour, and I'll never desert you.
I'll stand by you.

And when, when the night falls on you baby, you're feeling all alone,
You won't be on your own, I'll stand by you. I'll stand by you, won't let nobody hurt you. I'll stand by you
Take me in into your darkest hour and I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you. ooooh, I'll stand by you. I'll stand by you
'

Harry looked down at Ginny to see her relaxing which was a relief for him. Ginny smiled at him and noticed his face was getting closer to hers. She met him in the middle and carefully leaned in and kissed him softly.

Harry slowly kissed her back as he ran his fingers through her hair. Ginny placed her arms around his neck. The kiss seemed to last like an eternity. Fred and George had set off a hundred pack of fireworks they made themselves, which made the kiss even more special.

Harry pulled away from Ginny and looked at her.

"Do you still love Kyle?" he asked.

Ginny stared at him not wanting to answer him. Harry caught on and started to walk away.

"Harry" Ginny said
"You still love Kyle" Harry sad through his teeth.
"I don't have a choice!" Ginny exclaimed.
"YOU ALWAYS HAVE A CHOICE!" Harry exclaimed and went inside.

Harry walked upstairs to Ron and his room. He sat down on his bed trying to calm down. He got into his pajamas and went to bed. He heard everyone come inside later on and Ron enter the room. Harry pretended to be asleep.

He woke hours later and silently packed his things. He couldn't do this. He couldn't stay in the same house as Ginny anymore. It would be too awkward. He dragged his stuff downstairs and quietly walked outside.

He walked several yards and then looked back on the dark Burrow. He turned around and disapparted on the spot leaving his last family behind.

Chapter 5:
Captured


As dawn approached, Mrs. Weasley woke up and headed downstairs. She started the kettle and began to make her tea. Everything was at peace. The children were sleeping; the smell of tea was filling the room yet something didn't feel right. She glanced up at her clock - everyone on the clock was in mortal peril. She sighed and sipped some of her tea.

She began to make breakfast as she heard footsteps approach. She turned to see Charlie, Fred and George coming downstairs. They all took a slice of toast and sat down.

"Morning mum" Fred said.
"Morning. How did you all sleep?" she asked
"Fine" George said.
"I have a feeling something isn't right" Mrs. Weasley shuddered.

And at that moment, feet came pounding down the stairs. Ron and Hermione looked terrified. Ron was sweating and looked like he had fallen out of bed. Hermione was tearing and looked puzzled.

"Dears. What's wrong?" Mrs. Weasley asked getting up and walking over to them.
"It's Harry" Ron said.
"He's gone." Hermione said gasping for air.
"What do you mean he's gone?" Mrs. Weasley asked.
"BLOODY HELL. MUM HE'S GONE!" Ginny screamed as she ran downstairs with tears strolling down her cheeks.
"LANGUAGE!" Mrs. Weasley exclaimed as her daughter began to hug her mum.
"I woke up and went to shove him to get up and I noticed I was shoving air. He was gone and I swear he was in bed the night before." Ron said.
"Let's be calm. I'll contact the Order and your father at once. Does anyone have any idea why he would leave?" Mrs. Weasley asked.

Ron and Hermione shot Ginny looks of hatred. Ginny looked down at the floor. Charlie glanced from Ron and Hermione to Ginny. Then it clicked in his head.

Mrs. Weasley had written two brief messages. She got Errol and Pig and sent them off. She sighed and looked at everyone.

"We can only hope he wasn't captured," she said.

Charlie walked up to Ginny and bent down so he could see her face. Her eyes were all puffy and tears were falling down her cheeks as fast as fireworks could explode. He could only imagine what she as feeling.

"Hey spunky" Charlie said to her.
"Hey Charlie" Ginny muffled.
"Come on. We need to talk" Charlie said.
"Im not in the mood" Ginny sighed.
"We'll I am. I wanna hear about what happened between you and Harry" Charlie said.

They walked out of the kitchen and to Charlie's room. His room was decorated with many posters of Quidditch teams and dragons. He had a desk in the corner near his window. It was covered with parchment and books.

His bed was against the wall and had a red bedspread. It wasn't a large bed - but a sort of cot. Ginny sat on the bed as Charlie pulled up a chair.

"So. Fill me in. When did you two get together?" Charlie asked looking at his sister concerned.
"Well. It was after the last Quidditch match last year. Harry had gotten detention so I was playing seeker. I had won the game and yet harry didn't know. He walked back to the common room looking depressed - but he heard me say 'Harry we won!' and he saw me holding up the cup. He was running over to me as I was running over to him. Gosh he looked so hott and adorable. -" Ginny began staring off into space.
"Hi. Older brother doesn't need to hear about your hormones" Charlie said waving his hand in front of her face.

Ginny blushed red as she muttered 'sorry' under her breath.

"So he put his arms around me and without knowing what happened - we kissed. And it was the best thing in my life. I broke apart to see my ex stunned -" Ginny continued but was cut off by Charlie.
"Ex?" he asked.
"Yes. My ex boyfriends. Dean Thomas and Michael Corner" Ginny said.
"Ok" Charlie said confused.
"So. Me and Harry were together and it was the best time of my life!" Ginny exclaimed.
"The problem was…" Charlie said.
"He broke up with me after Dumbledore's funeral" Ginny said sadly.
"Why?" Charlie asked.
"Something about how Voldemort uses people he loves to get to him and he doesn't want me hurt. And now he's gone and I might never see him again and the last thing I did was make him feel upset and unloved because of me and my stupid self!" Ginny exclaimed and started to cry into one of the pillows on Charlie's bed.
"It will be ok. We'll find him." Charlie said trying to comfort his sister.
"Charlie. You need to promise me something," Ginny said looking at him.
"What spunky?" he asked.
"If I go missing too. You need to read this aloud to everyone" Ginny sobbed handing him a small piece of parchment folded many times.
"Why would you go missing?" Charlie asked confused as he tried to open the note.
"Dont open it yet! That’s for emergencies" Ginny exclaimed.
"Fine. But why would you go missing?" Charlie asked.
"I can't tell you." she said simply.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the next hour the Burrow was filled with Order Members and people from the Ministry. Ginny, Rona and Hermione were sent upstairs while the Order meeting was going on. The meeting consisted of Ministry officials who were being recruited to the Order. Minerva McGonagall was the new leader of the Order following the Dumbledore's death.
"Now. We must be careful. We do not know if Potter left on his free will or he was taken" McGonagall announced over everyone's whispers.
"Why would he want to leave?!?!" Mrs. Weasley shouted.
"They're could be many reasons Molly" Mr. Weasley said.
"Like what?" Charlie asked.
"Who knows. But we must focus on where Harry might be" Remus Lupin announced.
"Suggestions Remus?" Moody growled.
"Godrics Hollow" Lupin said.
"Why would Harry go there?" Tonks asked shocked.
"Maybe he feels the need to be connected to his past" Hagrid said.
"This war as affected him personally" Bill said.
"Think about it. He's close to the Order - a place where his own parents fought until they were killed in the last war" Fred exclaimed.
"Great! We have a reason for the Death Eaters to take him" Molly wailed.
"Don't forget the Tri-Wizard Tournament where he was nearly killed but saw a fellow classmate die" George added.
"He's lost Sirius and Dumbledore as well" Lupin sighed.
"And Voldemort would love to get his hands on Harry" Tonks said.
"Look. We must stay positive. Just because we have no clue where he is or why he is gone, doesn't mean we can't send out search parties" McGonagall shouted. Her voice echoed across the Burrow.

Her voice even reached upstairs to where Ginny, Ron and Hermione were.

"What did you do to him?" Ron growled.
"Ron!" Hermione exclaimed.
"I didn't do anything!" Ginny screamed.
"Look. Last night I saw him and you kissing and then he walked away after he screamed 'You always have a choice'" Ron said.
"Its about Kyle isn't it?" Hermione asked.
"Yes. I like Kyle and Harry!" Ginny cried putting a pillow to her face.
"Don't you like Harry more?" Ron asked.
"I don't know. But I have to go. I must tell Kyle." Ginny said and hurried downstairs.

Ginny ran to the fire and quickly disappeared while everyone continued shouting.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Harry awoke from a good nights sleep. He glanced around the room and sighed. He hated this house - but it was his house. He got out of bed and walked downstairs. Carefully creeping past the portrait of Mrs. Black, he made his way to the kitchen and quietly got himself some lunch.

He had been so tired; he had slept through breakfast. He found some ham in his fridge and quietly used his wand to warm the ham up. He cut it into slices and poured himself some pumpkin juice.

Once again he was in Number 12 Grimmauld Place. He knew no one would find him here, because only him and Dumbledore knew about Sirius' will.

Though, he believed he let it slip to Ron and Hermione. Then he felt guilty. Ron and Hermione. He hadn't even told them where he was going or why. Then he thought of the Weasley's. They must be worried sick about him.

Then he grunted. Worried about him. He should be worried about himself. They are only in danger if he was around them - he was keeping them safe.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ginny stopped spinning and got out of the fireplace. She looked up to see Severus Snape in front of him. His lip was curled - a bad sign.

"Come now. He doesn't have a lot of time," Snape said beckoning her to the next room.

Ginny followed Snape and saw all the Death Eaters in one room looking up at their leader - Voldemort. He looked at Snape and then at Ginny. He smiled.

"Thank you Severus." He said nodding his head to Snape. "Miss Weasley. It's nice to see you again." He smiled.
"Yea" Ginny said in a low tone.
"So. What's new in the days of Potter? Destroy him yet?" Voldemort asked interested.
"I hurt him." She said sadly.
"Oh goodie! How did you do it?" he asked.
"He kissed me and I told him I loved Kyle instead" Ginny sighed.
"Perfect" Voldemort muttered.
"What's new with the Order?" he asked.
"I don't know" Ginny said.
"What do you mean?" he asked.
"I'm not of age. I'm not allowed to the meetings" Ginny shrugged her shoulders as Voldemort's eyes began to get red with fury.
"You didn't hear anything?" he asked trying to stay calm.
"I just heard McGonagall shouting when I was leaving" Ginny said.
"About what?" he asked.
"I'm not sure" Ginny shuddered.

Voldemort raised his wand and whispered 'Legilimens'. Ginny felt her head explode as images flashed throughout her mind. She was kissing Harry. He was shouting at her. And then - she saw Ron and Hermione exclaim 'Harry's gone!' It seemed to repeat. 'HES GONE!' 'HES GONE!'

Voldemort released Ginny as she crumbled to the floor out of breath. Gasping - she looked up to see Voldemort and the Death Eaters furious.

"You have been lying to me" he muttered angry.
"I'm sorry," she said weakly.
"Where is he?" he asked seriously.
"I don't know" Ginny cried.
"WHERE HAS POTTER GONE!" he screamed.

He picked up Ginny and shook her furious. He slapped her face numerous amount of time. He threw her into the wall. Ginny saw the world fading. She was covered in blood and she felt like she has broken her legs. Her cheeks were red and she was crying.

"You have failed me. I would kill you. But you might be useful later on. Bella!" Voldemort snapped his head to look at Bellatrix Lestrange. "Take her to one of the rooms. Lock her in there and I want you on guard. She gets nothing."

"Consider yourself a prisoner of Voldemort" he smiled evilly as Bellatrix dragged Ginny out of the room. She took her down the halls to a bedroom. Bars had been placed in front of the doors with locks. Ginny looked around and noticed a familiar face - Percy Weasley was in one of the rooms.

"Percy" Ginny gasped.
"GINNY!" Percy exclaimed before Macinar knocked him out.

Bellatrix opened one of the rooms and threw Ginny inside. Ginny collapsed on the bed. She passed out as Bellatrix took Ginny's wand and placed it in her pocket.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next day, the Order had sent out search parties for Harry. Ron and Hermione kept inside all day trying to think where Harry could be. But they were worried for another reason. Ginny hadn't returned last night.

"Ron" Hermione said softly.
"Yea" he said.
"I think we should ask your parents about Ginny" Hermione whispered.
"Yea" Ron said.

They walked downstairs to see Mr. Weasley pacing through the kitchen. Mrs. Weasley was searching the Daily Prophet, which had the following headline 'HARRY POTTER GOES MISSING'

"Mum" Ron said gaining his parents attention.
"Yes Ron" Ms. Weasley said.
"Do you know where Ginny is? She's been gone since last night." Hermione said.
"I thought she was upstairs with you two sleeping" Mr. Weasley said casually.
"No. She left the room and disappeared. We haven't heard from her since" Ron said.
"Wait." Hermione said thinking. "We haven't heard from Kyle either."
"That’s it! Ginny must have went to visit Kyle" Ron said.
"Kyle?" Mrs. Weasley asked.
"Yea. Ginny has been talking about him all he time" Hermione said.
"Kyle who?" Mrs. Weasley asked closing the paper.
"Kyle Richardson" Ron said.
"That impossible" Mr. Weasley said.

Mrs. Weasley began to look through the paper again until she opened to a page. She handed it to her husband who looked shocked and looked up at Ron and Hermione.

"Tell me. How can Ginny be visiting Kyle Richardson when he has been dead for weeks" Mr. Weasley said.
"What?" Hermione gasped.

Mr. Weasley passed them the newspaper. The article he was pointing to read:

CONTINUING SUSPICIONS: WHY WERE THE RICHARDSONS MURDERED?

On July 1, Brian, Katherine and Kyle Richardson had been murdered in their house outside of Sea Side Bay. The Dark Mark was discovered by a muggle who had contacted the police. Aurors appeared on the scene in a matter of moments. When they walked inside, all they found where the bodies of the Richardson's. Brian Richardson was the Head of the Regulation of Magical Creatures office. Kyle Richardson - 16 who would have been returning to Hogwarts for his 6th year was found holding a knife.

It seems as if Kyle has tried to stab You-Know-Who. But You-Know-Who got to him first. But the real mystery is why were they killed? The Richardson's had nothing special about them. They knew no one important.

The article went on to show some of the peoples reactions. Ron and Hermione looked at each other.

"Then where is she?" Hermione whispered.
"Oh my gosh! Shes gone too!" Ron exclaimed.
"Stay calm" Mr. Weasley said. "Lets get everyone in here"

Before they knew it all of the Weasley's were in the kitchen listening to Rona and Hermione tell them about how Ginny was always disappearing to visit Kyle and how she loved him. Then they got to the part where Harry kissed Ginny and broke his heart by telling him that she loved Kyle instead. By then end they were out of breath.

"You know what's odd?" Charlie asked.
"What" Ron said.
"Ginny told me she might go missing. She said 'If I go missing for any reason. Read this aloud'" Charlie said and removed the note from his pocket.
"Read it!" Mrs. Weasley said encouraging.

Charlie cleared his throat and opened the note. He skimmed it and his jaw dropped. He then read while his voice was shaking,

'Heyy Everyone, If you're reading this then I guess I must have gone missing. Im surprised I haven't gone missing a long time ago. I must admit, I thought the first time I face them all I was going to get killed. I guess you want to know why I'm missing. A couple of weeks ago I heard about my friend Kyle's death. I didn't believe it and tried visiting the house. But when I got there. I forgot who I was. The next time I knew who I was - I was in the kitchen of the Richardson's mansion facing Death Eaters all around me. Then it clicked. I was under the Imperius Curse. I stood up to see Lord Voldemort smiling at me and taunting me with his Death Eaters. He said he could kill me then. But he knew how useful I was. I could play with Harry's emotions on his orders and find out information that could help him. So he let me go but ordered I would report back to him for reports. He warned me that I couldn't tell anyone about this or he would kill me - which is probably my fate now. But I left clues around the house. I wrote messages. Tried not to hear things. Told people not to trust me, but no one understood. I know about Harry's plan, which is really dangerous now. If Voldemort finds out - harry doesn't have a chance. But I figured if Im captured by him - I could find out information for Harry. So everyone. That’s why I'm missing. I suggest you tell Harry and I put more clues in here as well. Good luck and I hope I'm still alive. Sincerely, Ginny'

Everyone looked at the note in disbelief. Mrs. Weasley had broken down crying when Fred and George for once couldn't come up with a joke. Hermione stared at the note and then it clicked in her head.

"IM SO STUPID!" she exclaimed.
"Wow - that’s a first" Fred said sadly.
"'The things I do are the things I do to protect you that way I can love you forever' It’s a clue! Ginny played this game so she could protect harry and all of us. She really does love him" Hermione sighed.
"That actually makes sense," Ron said slowly.
"So all we need to do is find Harry and rescue Ginny!" Hermione exclaimed.
"Look. We have no clue where he is." George said.
"You don't - but I do" Hermione said.

She took Rons hand and walked outside and disapparted in a snap.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Harry was reading the Black Family Tree once more examining it closely. Then he came among the name 'Regulus A. Black'

"R.A.B." Harry muttered to himself smiling. He had actually found out something. He then heard a crack and he removed his wand and jumped.

He walked downstairs with his wand out. He heard whispers and began to run. He continued running until he smacked into someone. He looked up to see Ron and Hermione waving at him. He got up and brushed himself off.

"Hey guys. What's wrong?" he asked noticing their worried faces.
"Ginny has been captured by Voldemort" Hermione said.
"WHAT!?!" Harry exclaimed.
"She disappeared a day after you left. Which may I add as freaked everyone out. Have you seen the Prophet? You’re the headlines." Ron said.
"Sorry guys. I had to get away so Ginny could be with Kyle" Harry spat.
"Um. Harry. Ginny has been lying to us. Kyle has been dead for weeks," Hermione said.
"She left this" Ron said handing Harry the note.

Harry read the note then got his coat and came back to his friends.

"Well. What are we waiting for? We have to save her!" Harry said and ran outside followed by Ron and Hermione.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Harry, Ron and Hermione appeared in a crack and rushed inside the Burrow. The Weasley's looked shocked to see Harry back that Mrs. Weasley started hugging Harry furiously.

"I'm sorry for leaving. I had to think, But lets find Ginny" harry said.
"Well when we find here - there is going to be a big battle no doubt so everyone has to be ready to fight" Mr. Weasley said
"Ok. So where is she?" Harry asked.
"That’s the problem Harry" Fred began.
"We have no clue" George finished off.

Then another crack was heard and a person walked into the room. He leaned against the door looking at them

"I know where she is"

Chapter 6:
Planning


Ginny sat in her little cell rubbing her legs as they began to ache. She moaned as the bleeding in her face has finally stopped. She was trapped. And she knew it. Her thoughts wandered to Charlie and the note then Harry,

Ginny was relieved that he wasn't here but that means that Harry had left because of her. Guilt spread through her as she prayed he didn't do something stupid. She laid down on the small cot and closed her eyes.

But she couldn't sleep so she just relaxed her eyes. She kept her ears open though. She heard footsteps coming down the hall. She squinted her eyes for a few moments to see Snape and Bellatrix. Snape was peering in to see if she was asleep.

She quickly shut her eyes and became stiff. She listened closely as they began speaking.

"Bella. Why would he trust you over me?" Snape asked.
"Because. I got rid of hall the filth standing in our way" Bellatrix snapped.
"I got rid of their leader" Snape spat.
"Yes. But I broke out everyone from Azkaban" Bella said.
"I don't see what so important about that earring anyway" Snape said furious.
"You don't get it do you? It’s a piece of our lord!" Bella exclaimed.
"Hold your tongue Bella Or the little Weasley will wake" Snape said.
"Look. You go relax. I'll stand duty" Bellatrix suggested getting fed up.
"Fine. I could use some rest" Snape said and walked up the hall and out of sight.

Once he was out of sight, Bellatrix tapped on the bars. Ginny tried ignoring it until she began to speak.

"Get up or get nothing!" she spat furiously.

Ginny opened her eyes surprised. She turned over and looked at Bellatrix.

"I though I wasn't to get nothing" she said.
"Well. Fine, If you don't want anything -" she began but was cut off.
"I do want something. But I can't walk. My lord broke my legs" Ginny said.
"Well. Let me fix those" Bellatrix said.

She opened the cell door carefully and got inside. She transfigured a chair out of a rock and sat down. She examined Ginnys legs and then took out her wand. She muttered a few different spells and waved her wand over Ginnys legs.

Then she cleaned Ginnys face. The Bellatrix Lestrange did something really odd - she smiled like she cared. She stroked Ginnys hair.

"Thank you" Ginny said kindly.
"Well. We couldn't leave you like that forever. You must excuse him. Finding out Harry Potter has disappeared can get him worked up" Bellatrix laughed.
"I'm afraid to think he's going to come finish me off" Ginny muttered scared.
"He won't do that. Not when he has Harry's prime jewel here," Bella said stroking Ginnys hair again.
"Harry's going to do something stupid." Ginny muttered.
"What. He's gonna come rescue you?" she asked.
"Probably. I mean he was trying to protect me. That went well" Ginny laughed.
"Guys can be stupid." Bella agreed.
"Why are you being so nice to me?" Ginny asked with a large amount of curiosity.
"Well. I can't choose sides. As a Death eater I'm safe but I hate it when everyone is hurt" Bellatrix sighed.
"Look. I'm sorry but I'm finding that hard to believe" Ginny said.
"Damn you’re a smart one" Bellatrix chuckled.
"Ok. I'm evil but I'm helping you because you don't belong to be here" Bellatrix said seriously.
"Ok. One last question. Why is my brother here?" Ginny asked worried.
"Ministry resources" Bellatrix shrugged and left the cell.

Ginny got up and tested her legs. Bellatrix had done a good job. She could stand straight, walk and run. Se looked over at her brother and saw him asleep. She sighed and sat down grateful to Bellatrix Lestrange.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was Draco Malfoy. His blonde hair wasn't so blonde anymore. He had circles under his eyes and he was skinny. Very skinny. He had the same slim grin he always had.

"And why are we to trust you?" Harry asked.
"Because. I saw her there. And she isn't pleased and she looks horrible. I mean after he was through with her" Draco smiled.
"What did he do to her?" Ron asked.
"Well. I missed the show but I heard that he smacked her face and threw her into a wall." Draco smirked.
"And still. How do we know your not setting us up for a trap?" Harry asked.
"Look. Voldemort killed my parents and has people captive. I would like some revenge" Draco said simply.

"Can we trust him Harry?" Hermione asked scared.
"He's not bluffing" Harry said.

"Where is she?" Harry asked in a demanding voice.
"Richardson Mansion" Draco said and disappeared in a crack.

"That would make sense why Voldemort killed the Richardson's." Harry said thoughtfully.
"Yeah. A Headquarters" Fred said.
"So. When do we attack?" George asked.
"We need the Order" Mr. Weasley said.
"Should we go right away? I mean. We haven't trained. We are going right to battle here!" Hermione shrieked.
"Ok. While Arthur gets the Order ready we will train here." Mrs. Weasley said thoughtfully.

Harry walked outside and slammed his hands against a tree. He should be fighting - right now! 'Ginny is bleeding and hurt and we are sitting here' Harry thought. Ron and Hermione joined him outside as he got out his wand.

They spent hours dueling until Mrs. Weasley called them in for dinner. Harry couldn't eat and excused himself early. Everyone watched as Harry made his way upstairs. 'Ginny is probably starving. How can I eat when it's my fault she isn't?' he thought silently.

After everyone finished eating, the Order had arrived. They had decided it would be better to attack at night. Ron went upstairs and got Harry. He explained the plan and Harry rushed downstairs.

"Ready Potter?" Moody growled.
"Yeah. I'm ready." Harry said.

Everyone got an apparition partner and disappeared crack! By crack! Not knowing was in store.

Chapter 7:
The Fight


They all appeared outside the mansion. It was dark and gloomy. Silently, everyone took out their wands and muttered 'Lumos'. They walked up the hill until they reached the doorstep. Then they stopped. They gazed at the doorknob until Harry stepped forward and turned I slightly.

He kicked the door down and everyone bombarded inside. They began to throw curses almost instantly. The Death Eaters turned around and noticed they had company. They removed their wands and ran toward the Order.

"STUPEFY!" Harry yelled at Snape.
"IMPENDIENTA!" Snape yelled back.
"EXPELLERIAMUS!" Ron shouted.
"CRUCIO!" Bellatrix exclaimed.

The spells kept coming. Mr. Weasley was fighting off a newer Death Eater. Mrs. Weasley was fighting a guard. Remus and Tonks were fighting off Bellatrix. Moody was fighting and many as he could at once.

Then someone began to scream out the last thing they needed - "AVADA KEDAVRA!"

And then Kinsley dropped to the floor. Harry looked at Ron and Hermione. His mind was racing. They had to find Ginny and get out now!

"IM GOING TO FIND GINNY!" Harry shouted over the screams.

Bellatrix turned around to see Harry moving down the hallway.

"POTTER'S ESCAPING!" she shouted and followed him.

Harry began to run - terrified for his and Ginny's life. He ran down several hallways. Where could she be? Then he heard her. Her sweet beautiful voice that he had missed for many days!

He ran down a hallway and took a sharp left turn causing Bellatrix to fall and collide into the wall. He skidded down and stopped as soon as he saw Ginny's long beautiful red hair. Ginny ran to the front of her cell, clasping the door.

"Hey love" Harry said calmly.
"Harry" Ginny replied.
"I'm going to get you out." Harry said.
"You shouldn't have come. You're putting yourself in danger." Ginny said quickly.
"I had too. I'm sorry Gin that its taken me this long too realize that I love you" Harry said.
"Harry." Ginny said. "I love you too"
"Watch out" Harry said.

Ginny backed away from the cell door. Harry raised his wand and shouted.

"BOMBARADOR!"

The door collapsed and Ginny quickly ran outside. Harry put his wand away and grabbed Ginny around the waist. He leaned in and kissed her with so much passion.

Time had stopped. All that mattered to Harry was that Ginny was alive and healthy. Ginny kissed him back with more passion and ran her fingers through his messy, good-looking hair. They seemed to have been kissing for an eternity when Ginny broke apart.

"You go free Percy and I'll get my wand" she said.
" Don't want to leave you" Harry whispered.
"I promise. Nothing will happen to me" Ginny whispered back.

Harry let go of her and then turned around.

"Percy. You better move" he said embarrassed that Ginny's brother had been watching them make out.

"BOMBARADOR!" Harry shouted and Percy was freed.

Harry dashed down the hallway and quickly jinxed two Death Eaters. Harry saw Ginny making her way over to Bellatrix. She was grabbing her wand from the inside of Bellatrix's robes. Ginny helped Bellatrix get up and began to run back.

Harry felt himself get pushed out of the way. He fell to the ground after colliding with a wall. A Death Eater was making his way to Ginny. Harry removed his wand but couldn't see where the Death Eater was. His vision was getting blurry.

Ginny was standing right in front of the Death Eater. He had his wand raised at Ginny. She looked over at Harry fearfully.

"AVADA KEDAVRA!" The death Eater shouted.

Ginny fell to the floor, her eyes in shock. Her breathing eased and saw the world spinning before her. She looked at Harry and saw his mouth open but she couldn’t hear him scream.

But his scream echoed throughout the entire house.

"GINNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

And then everything stopped.

~
Ok./ I ask for not to much screaming. I know this is sad. But I did what had to do. Leave a cooment

Ha. i I havent double-posted in a while! Cool

Chapter 8:
After The Battle

Harry woke up hours later in a warm bed. He opened his eyes slowly as he slowly began to remember last nights events. ‘Ginny’ he thought. Ginny. She was dead. Or so it seemed. He remembered the green light and Ginny fall. But she didn’t seem lifeless as she feel to the ground. Then he thought of the battle. What had happened? Who won? Were the others ok? The thoughts continued to fly throughout him until he heard a voice enter the room.

“Mum. Are you sure he’ll be alright?” a voice said.
“The healers said he should be fine in a week” a second voice said.
“And Ginny?” the original voice asked in caution.
‘”You know your sister. She’ll be fine” the second voice said.

Harry mumbled something and had caught the attention of the two voices. They came inside looking worried but grins grew across their face as they saw Harry was awake.

Harry gazed at the figured forr a moment and noticed they both had red hair. He sat up and saw who it was. It was none other than Ron and Mrs. Weasley.

“Oh Harry!” Mrs. Weasley sobbed hugging Harry tightly.
“Mate. You gave us a right scare!” Ron exclaimed.
“But. Ginny. The Death Eaters. Percy. What happened?” Harry asked confused.
“We’ll. The Death Eaters got away. Ginny is fine and Percy is in the room across the hall with Ginny.” Ron explained.
“But - But Ginny’s - de - dead” Harry choked trying to form the sentence.
“That’s what we thought too! She’s fine. Bellatrix jumped in front of Ginny and got the blast. Ginny only passed out.” Ron said.
“Ron - I’m going to tell everyone Harry is awake” Mr. Weasley said and left the room.
“Tell me now. What happened after I passed out?” Harry asked.
“Well. You screamed Ginny’s name and we all panicked. Hermione and I ran down the hall where your scream came from and we saw you pass out. We then saw Ginny whos eyes were closed. That’s when we knew she wasn’t dead. But Bellatrix’s eyes were wide open. So we helped you up and dragged you over to Ginny. Then hurried back to the fight to see the Order exhausted. Apparently the Death Eaters ran for their life. So then we took you and Ginny to St. Mungos. Percy is a little shocked so we are having him checked out too” Ron explained.
“So. I freaked out over nothing” Harry said simply.
“Look. We are just happy you are alive.” Ron said.

Minutes later, Hermione came rushing into the room looking exhausted. She was grinning though - ear to ear. She hugged Harry tight until Ron had to take Hermione off of him because Harry was turning blue.

“Oh Harry! I was so worried. And Ginny - she was terrified. I mean when we told her that you had passed out.
“I long have I been out for?” Harry asked.
“About three days” Hermione said.
“But Ginny woke up only yesterday She was let in to see you twice. Once she was with all of us - praying you were ok. Second time she was by herself. She seemed like she was trying to talk to you. She was crying for a while” Hermione admitted.
“Can I see her now?” Harry asked eagerly.
“She’s getting food now. Fred and George are off to tell her the news” Hermione said happily.
“What! You let Fred and George go! They’re going to do something insane” Ron said.

~~~~~~~~~~

Ginny was on line at the cafeteria. She had gotten a slice of pizza, a carton of pumpkin juice and some sugar quills. She was giving in her lunch ticket and about to sit down. She pulled up a chair and sat at a table - alone. That’s how she had been. Alone. All alone. No Harry to kiss her or keep her company at all. It felt bad to be alone. But then she saw her twin brothers running towards her.

“Ginny!” Fred called as they ran up to the table.
“What’s wrong?” Ginny asked worried.
“Its Harry - hes - he has moved on” George said hiding a smirk.
“WHAT!?!?!?!” Ginny exploded. She then burst into tears.

She left her lunch and ran out of the cafeteria. Running up the stairs she ran into Harry’s room expecting to see Healers covering his body with a white blanket. But what she saw was different. She saw Harry’s smiling face beaming at her. She was at a lost for words. But the first thing that came out of her mouth was -

“I’m going to kill Fred and George”
“Why would you do that?” Ron asked.
“They told me Harry was dead” Ginny said “But you’re safe and I’m safe. And we all made it out ok.”

Ginny was slowly walking towards Harry. She was smiling but tearing at the same time. Harry gave Ron and Hermione a glance and thy got the hint.

“We’ll. You two have some catching up to do. We’ll talk to you later” Ron said taking Hermione’s hand an leading her out the door.

“Finally alone at last” Ginny said sitting down on the bed.

Harry smiled at her as she laid down next to him. She felt Harry playing with here and she loved it. Harry was safe and hats all that mattered. She turned over to face him. He smiled at her. Her heart melted. She loved that smile.

Harry leaned in and kissed her cheek softly. He gave it a few more kisses before she moved up a little until he was kissing her lips. She felt like she could have died and gone to heaven. His lips were soft and gentle against hers. It had been so long since she had felt that warmth from him.

Harry wrapped his arms around her waist and lifted her up. He held onto her until she was sitting down between his legs relaxed and comfortable. She deepened the kiss as she moved her hands up his back. Ginny ran her fingers through his untidy hair and felt their tongues meet.

It all felt like a dream - and if it was. They didn’t want it to end. But it wasn’t a dream. They continued to snog until Ginny became tired. Ginny lad down next to him until they feel asleep peacefully.

The Weasleys visited Harry later that night to see Harry and Ginny fast asleep. Ginny was being held tight in Harry’s arms and Ginny was leaning against him like he was a fuzzy pillow.

Mr. Weasley and Mrs. Weasley glanced at each other happily. Bill and Charlie were beaming. Fred and George looked like they wanted o throw up - and throw up they did. Then Ron and Hermione were just glad that their best friend was happy. They squeezed each others hand as they left the room.

Mrs. Weasley and Mr. Weasley were the only ones left in the room after a while. Finally Mr. Weasley thought of the best thing he could say.

“Harry is a great guy - and he is becoming a great man. And we should be honored to have him in love with out daughter” he said.
“Only more dangers await him. Come on. Lets let them rest. The Daily Prophet will be wanting a picture of Harry and this is the last thing we need the Prophet to see” Mrs. Weasley said standing up.
“Your right. Harry can answer those interviews tomorrow” Mr. Weasley said.

They walked out the door. Mr. Weasley stayed behind for a moment
And looked at Harry and Ginny.

“After this is over. Maybe I’ll be able to call you my son-in-law” he said silently and closed the door.

Chapter 9:
Exposed


When Harry awoke the next morning he found Ginny in his arms. He smiled and kissed the top of her head gently. She began to move and turned around to face Harry.

"Morning Harry" she said yawning.
"Morning love" Harry replied.
"What time is it?" she asked lazy.
"No clue." Harry replied looking around for a clock.
"I can't believe I stayed here all night" Ginny smiled.
"That a bad thing?" he asked.
"Of course not. Its just - everyone must have noticed I was missing from my room." Ginny whispered.
"And if people saw us - I could care less." Harry said beaming.
"But my family. They don't know about this" Ginny whispered.
"Oh yes we do!" a voice called.

Bill and Charlie walked into the room to find ginny still lying next to Harry in his bed. She slid off the bed quickly as she went red. Harry quickly sat up trying not to blush - he failed miserably.

"Sleep good Ginny?" Bill said winking at her.
"I hope you can explain this to your older brothers" Charlie said seriously.
"I can explain!" Ginny exclaimed.
"It's my fault." Harry said. "She came looking for me and I asked her too stay"
"Nothing went on." Ginny advised them.
"Hope not. Last thing we need is little Potters running around." Bill said.
"Speak for yourself. How's Fleur?" Ginny asked flashing him a smile.
"Don't bring her in this." Bill said warningly to his sister.
"I thought you would approve of Harry and I." Ginny said disappointed.
"Of course we approve" Charlie exclaimed.
"Huh?" Ginny and Harry replied in unison.
"We just like messing with you spunky" Bill said walking over to Ginny.

He hugged her tight as Charlie joined in. they both let go of her and made their way to Harry's bed. Harry had to admit - they looked intimidating.

"And we know that you will protect our spunky." Bill said looking straight at Harry.
"Because if you don't - she will hurt you." Charlie added in.
"I hurt her once and it almost killed me. I'm not about to do it again." Harry reassured them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Daily Prophet had done an interview with Harry about the battle at Richardson Mansion. Harry had explained everything from Ginny under the Imperius Curse to Ginny being captured to Bellatrix's sacrifice.

The interview had taken hours with help from Ron, Hermione and Ginny. Several Order members were asked for comments. And finally, six hours later Harry was released from St. Mungos along with Percy and Ginny.

Dinner was eventful as Mr. and Mrs. Weasley kept shooting glances at Harry and Ginny, which were playing footsies under the table. Harry ate like he hadn't eaten in days. Ron and Hermione looked extremely joyful and Percy had even stayed for dinner.

After all the dishes were clear Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny went into Harry and Ron's room. Ginny was ready to tell them about what happened while she was captured.

"When I first got there. He was really upset. He used Occulumency
against me. Then he found out you went missing and he slapped me. He threw me at a wall and I felt my legs break. Then he ordered Bellatrix to place me in the cell and give me nothing. When I was locked inside I saw Percy get knocked out. I carefully crept to my small cot and laid down as the blood on my face eased." Ginny began.
"I'm gonna kill him" Harry muttered under her breath.
"Oh my gosh Ginny!" Hermione had exclaimed as she clapped her hands over her mouth.

"Days later. Bellatrix came into my cell and offered to fix my legs and face. I asked why and she said that she didn't think it was fair for me to be trapped here. So. She fixed my legs and cleaned my face. She gave me some food. When she left I heard her talking to Snape. It was about a horcrux! It was some earring that Voldemort had Bellatrix carrying. But. I don't know who has it now. I don't even know whos founder it was." Ginny said disappointed.
"Wait." Hermione said and left the room

Harry and Ron shrugged their shoulders as Hermione left. She returned minutes later with a book addressed 'A Guide to Rowena Ravenclaw'. Hermione flipped through the pages until she stopped on the page called 'Famous Items'.

"I think I have it" she squealed excitedly. "Rowena Ravenclaw was famous for not just her smarts but her jewelry. Her fifty thousand galleon earrings were made of pure gold and had diamonds in the center creating an 'R'. When she helped create Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, see page 325, she was wearing her expensive earrings.

'After the founder had died due to old age, many wizards fought for the extremely valuably possession. The earrings however - went missing in the early 1900's and haven't been seen since." Hermione read aloud.

"Makes sense. Hogwarts founder, valuable, cost a lot of money. That's it!" Harry exclaimed excited as he thought it over.
"First may I say that fifty thousand galleons is way too much for earrings." Ginny said.
"But she did create Hogwarts. She must have been loaded!" Ron exclaimed.
"Well. We have our target now don't we?" Hermione asked.
"Yea." Harry said.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When Harry came downstairs the next morning, he heard the whispers of Ron and Hermione muttering. He walked into the kitchen to see Ron and Hermione crouched over the Daily Prophet.

He took the prophet from them and looked at the front cover. There was a picture of him and Ginny sleeping peacefully in St. Mungos. The picture moved to show Harry kissing Ginnys head.

The headline was huge and in bold.

HARRY POTTER'S SECRET LOVE LIFE
It seemed like only yesterday young Harry Potter was messing with girls' affections reports Lisa DiMangolia, Daily prophet reporter. As we all remember Harry Potter had dated Hermione Granger - a clever girl who had been as well having an affair with Victor Krum.

Harry potter has moved on now and has been discovered sleeping with Ginerva Weasley. Ginerva 'Ginny' Weasley is a year younger than harry and has been spending a lot of time with Harry.

'They got together at the end of last year' said a student. 'She's quite pretty and she is really smart' said another student. But Miss Weasley comes from a less wealthy family. Is it possible that this student has been brewing love potions for Mr. Potter?

After a poll I constructed myself - I found the yes percentage to be 75%. The no was at 25% and many people refused to respond. I recently found out Miss Weasley had also dated Dean Thomas, and Michael Corner. Coincidence? Dean and Michael had been working with harry two years ago while Dolores Umbridge was teaching Defense Against The Dark Arts.

I intend too keep my faithful readers posted on the lovebirds' activities.

Harry finished reading it in complete shock. He looked at Ron and Hermione who looked furious.

"She's as foul as Rita Skeeter." Harry said putting the paper down.
"I know." Ron replied.
"I have never heard of this reporter before though." Hermione said glancing at the name of the reporter.
"How could she be so foul on the first thing that she has printed?" Ron asked.
"I have a bad feeling she began where Rita left off" Harry muttered.
"Any idea where Rita is?" Ron asked Hermione.
"I do know. Let's go" Hermione said.

The three of them left the house and disapparted. Ron and Harry held onto Hermione, as they still haven't taken their test. They appeared outside the Leaky Cauldron. They walked inside and went up to the bar man.

"What can I do for you three?" Tom asked.
"Could you call Rita Skeeter down? We need to talk to her" Hermione explained politely.
"Certainly." Tom replied and walked over to the phone service.

He dialed several numbers and murmured a message to the person on the other side.

"She said she will be right down." Tom replied.
"Thank you" Harry said.

Minutes later, Rita Skeeter came down the stairs beaming. She looked at Harry, Ron and Hermione like they were her old friends. But she seemed to be looking for someone else.

"Harry Potter. How nice to see you again. Ah and his best friends. But where is young Ginny Weasley?" she asked.
"Shes at her house - fast asleep." Harry replied coolly.
"And shes unaware about this Lisa DiMangolia's writing" Ron snarled.
"Ah. Did you like the article? She has talent." Rita said smiling.
"Do you know her? Where she is?" Hermione asked.
"Of course I know her. She is my intern." Rita Skeeter smiled.

OoOh. Leave f.b

The Letter

"Wht do you mean 'an intern'?" Harry asked.
"Lisa. She came to me telling me on how I was a great reporter. I explained that I retired from my journalism days. But - I did say I would lead her to success." Rita smiled.
"So. She's finishing off your work for you?" Ron asked angrily.
"Well. She has had plenty inspiration." Rita said wickedly.
"You nasty woman. Have you not forgotten our agreement?" Hermione asked.
"Well. You said I couldn’t write anymore. You never said no one else could finish off my work." Rita said smiling evilly.
"You are a nasty toad. You tell her to stop or else." Hermione sneered and then walked away with Harry and Ron.

They apparated home to find Ginny downstairs looking worried. She was in her light blue tank op and her purple balloon pajama pants. She was sitting on the couch until she saw three figures approaching the door. She got up trembling and removed her wand.

She watched as the door opened to only reveal Harry, Ron and Hermione. She sighed and put her wand down as she hugged Harry tightly and then gave him small kisses.

"Where did you three go?" Ginny asked sadly.
"We went to chat with an old friend. You haven't seen the Daily Prophet have you?" on asked giving her the paper.

Ginny read the article for a few moments and then tore it up. She looked furious. Her cheeks were as red as her hair and Harry could see daggers in her eyes.

"I can't believe this woman!" Ginny said fuming and then she began to speak French.
"Oh boy." Ron sad breathlessly.
"What?" Harry asked.
"Fleur taught her French. And. Trust me - be thankful you can't understand her." Ron said.

Then all of a sudden, four owls zoomed into the kitchen. Harry got the letters off of each of the owl's legs. He gave one to Ron, then Hermione and stopped Ginny in her tracks.

"Love. Relax. Open your letter." Harry said before he gave her a kiss.
"Fine." Ginny said grumpily.

Harry opened his and was shocked to see such a little message on the paper.

Harry Potter,

I wish to discuss something more important than your education on Saturday Night. I will be arriving at the Burrow to discuss with you your Hogwarts letter and my proposition. I will arrive at 7:30 sharp.

Until then,
Minerva McGonagall
Headmistress of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

Chapter 11:
The Proposition

"What's with you Harry?" asked Hermione.
"It's just. I didn't get a letter. I got a note. Why are you so pleased?" asked Harry who just noticed Hermione's beaming face.
"Oh. I've been made Head Girl. Not much." exclaimed Hermione.
"What does that note say?" Ron asked.
"Have a look. I have no clue." Replied Harry handing his friends the note.
"Well. I think we'll just have to wait." Ron shrugged.
"Did you get Head Boy Ron?" Hermione asked.
"No. But I don' care. I still reckon me being a prefect was a mistake. So. I could care less" said Ron.
"Ginny. How did you do on your OWLS?" Harry asked walking over to his girlfriend.
"I did good." Ginny shrugged.
"Ginny! 10 Owls is fabulous!" harry exclaimed looking at her letter.
"I guess. I was aiming for 12." Ginny shrugged.
"Im proud of you. You did better than me." Harry said. "And for each Owl deserves one kiss." Harry said.
"Only one each?" Ginny asked playfully.
"Yup. Sorry about that sweetie." Harry replied kissing his girlfriend.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next couple of days passed quickly as Mrs. Weasley went to Diagon Alley for Ron, Hermione and Ginny. Surprisingly, on the list. There was no book for Defence Against The Dark Arts.

"Maybe she couldn't find a teacher." Suggested Ginny.
"It doesn't make sense." Hermione said.
"But if we have one less class - I wouldn't complain." Ron laughed.
"Yeah. Less homework the better." Harry agreed.
"So we are going back?" Hermione asked.
"Yea. Now that I think of it. There are plenty of resources and we'll be safe." Harry said.
"Good thinking mate." Ron agreed.

~~~~~~~~~

Saturday evening approached and Harry sat in the kitchen waiting for Professor McGonagall to appear. He looked up and watched as the clock ticked 7:30 and then he immediately heard a knock on the back door.

He ran to the door and whispered through the crack.

"Professor?" he asked.
"Yes. Potter. Hurry. I don't have a lot of time." McGonagall whispered.
"Yes mam." Harry said and opened the door.

McGonagall walked into the burrow and sat down at the table.

"Would you like a cup of tea?" harry asked.
"Yes potter. Thank you" McGonagall said as Harry poured her a cup of tea.
"So. What did you want to talk about?" Harry asked.
"Well. I need a new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher. And I figured. With your great grades and experience with the subject. That you would teach the subject." McGonagall explained.
"Professor. I have other stuff to do this year." Harry said.
"I know. Hunting down Horcruxes is risky business. Albus explained to me years ago. I believe that we could set up a schedule so you can take your subjects and have some periods to teach. I already have planned an immediate back-up professor in case you're out that day." McGonagall added.
"But. Would I still be part of the house?" Harry asked.
"I think its fair that. You can dock points and add points as a teacher. But as a student sleep in Gryffindor Tower. You may sit where you like during feasts and the other professors have asked that you joined our parties as well as the students." She replied.
"Wow. This is a big offer." Harry aid breathlessly.
"Potter. I'm desperate. I need someone good in the subject." She pleaded.
"Ok. First. I talk about what I want in class. I assign the books. And I can leave on my free will with Ron and Hermione." Harry replied.
"Done." McGonagall exclaimed.
"Alright." Harry said getting excited. "I want the books the fake moody and Lupin assigned."
"No problem Potter. On the first day of term you will meet meat my office where we will enter the feast and I'll announce you as a professor. You will find the books in your office. Until then, Professor Potter." McGonagall beamed and then left the kitchen and disappeared.

Chapter 12 Part 1:
Godrics Hollow


There was three weeks left in the summer holidays. Harry, Ron and Hermione had planned to visit Godrics Hollow on Friday. The week passed slowly as Harry decided not to tell anyone about him being the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. Finally. Thursday evening arrived and Harry had just sent a note out to Hagrid.

The note read:
Hey Hagrid,
I was wondering if you could take me, Ron and Hermione to Godrics Hollow. I want to pay my respects to their graves. Send me an answer back with Hedwig.
Harry

Dinner that night was eventful as Fred and George joined them. They had announced they were about to put out a new product called 'Bloating Ink'. These pens were a black color and the perfect prank. If someone asked for a pen you would give them that one. And when they began to write the pen would explode and wherever the ink landed - it had a spell to make the area bloat.

They tested it out after dinner and watched as George's hand began to grow in size until Fred poured a green liquid on the hand. His hand went back to normal and received alot of applause from the Weasley's, Harry and Hermione.

At nine o'clock, when everyone was getting ready for bed, Harry looked out the kitchen window to see Hedwig. She had ruffled feathers like she did in his fourth year when she was attacked.

He opened the letter to see Hagrid's writing.

Sure thing Harry. I'll come around there at 8 o'clock.

But then on the teeny tiny bottom of the parchment was a note saying. 'I'm sure my fans will love to know about this.'


Harry ripped up the parchment furious and hurried off to tell Ron and Hermione to be up by 7: 30.

*~*~*~*~*

The next morning, Hagrid arrived at the Burrow at 8 sharp. Harry, Ron and Hermoine yawned as they walked outside the Burrow and outside the gate. Hagrid faced them.

"Now, I'll ride Sirius' bike over there and you three will follow me on brooms." Hagrid said getting on the motorbike.
"Hagrid. I can't -" Hermione began.
"Hermione. You can ride with me." Ron said.
"Thanks." She muttered as she got on the back of Ron's broom.

*~*~*~*~*

After thirty minutes of flying, Hagrid slowly descended into a small patch of dead grass. Harry, Ron and Hermione got off the two brooms and walked with Hagrid up to a small cottage.

Harry looked at the top to see a sign reading: Godrics Hollow. He clutched his scar as it began to burn. He looked at Ron, Hermione and Hagrid who nodded their heads. Harry walked to the back of the house.

He surveyed it slowly. There were many holes in the walls and the cement looked like it was falling apart. He walked to see two tombstones. There were dead flowers scattered on top o the heads of the stones.

Harry got on one knee and read the tombstones to himself.

James Potter
Ego Maniac
Loving husband
Proud father
A Best Friend


He placed one of the dead flowers that had fallen off the stone back on top. He then looked at the one next to his fathers.

Lily Evans-Potter
Beautiful Girl with Brains
Sweet wife
James' Eye-Candy


Harry laughed to himself as he placed another flower on the stone.

He then stood up and turned around. He walked back to Ron, Hermione and Hagrid who were talking in quiet voices. He cleared his throat and beckoned them forward as he opened the door to only find something he wasn't expecting.

Part 2

Harry rose his wand as he stared at two adults. There was a man and a woman. They were sitting on a velvet couch. They were talking silently but looked alarmed to the sound of the door opening.

The man had messy black hair with hazel eyes. He stood up and was taller than Harry. He looked at the woman who had flaming red hair and green eyes…they were two familiar…they looked exactly like Harry's eyes.

"I can't believe it." The man said softly gasping.

"Alright Harry. What are we looking for?" Ron asked as he walked through the door.
"Anything that Voldemort would find interesting." Harry said looking at Ron.
"I wish you would stop saying that name…Oh hello. Who are you?" Ron asked.
"Ron would you introduce yourself. Hi I'm Hermione Granger." Hermione said shaking the adult's hands.
"Love you too 'Mione. Ron Weasley." Ron said before kissing Hermione's cheek. "And this here. Is 'The Boy Who Lived'…'The Chosen One'.
"Thanks Ron. I'm Harry. Harry Potter." Harry said punching his friend's arms.

"My baby!" the woman gasped as she gripped the mans hand tightly.

"Alright you lot. You know how to get bac - James! Lily! That's impossible!" Hagrid said as his eyes feel on the man and woman.
"Not really. What's impossible is that after sixteen years - I'm finally meeting my son after Dumbledore promised I would." The man said.
"Dumbledore knew about this! After everything! There is no bloody way you are my dad " - Harry said angrily pointing to the man. "Or you are my mother. They're dead. Have been for sixteen years. This is ridiculous. We have something to do"
"Harry! You must believe us! We were working on difficult spells and potions since we went into hiding with you. To prevent half the death. You must believe me. Please" the woman whispered stroking Harry's face.
"No. Theres now way! I watched my mum die! Please! I can't stand this. After everything I witnessed! Stop playing with my head! Please! My life is going fine!" Harry said taking the woman's hand away.
"No it's not! Dumbledore told us everything. And I mean. Everything." The man replied.
"Alright. Then how did you live?" Ron asked suddenly.
"Good question mate." Harry agreed. "Well?"

"Look. When Lily and I went into hiding we began working on some very complicated spells and potions. It was horrible the things we had to do. We had to drink five potions every night and place twenty charms on ourselves in the morning. We'll. The night that Voldemort came, I had Lily go with you to the nursery. We let Voldemort "kill" us so we could protect you - again - difficult potion we drank. It was a pain to keep brewing it." James explained.
"James woke up five days later to find me crying over your crib. You were gone - there even wasn't a body. We feared the worst. Until we went up to Dumbledore - who was even shocked - he explained where you were. He made us plant our own graves - no one could know we were alive. It was too dangerous. Dumbledore said he had his reasons." Lily added.
"Every week. Dumbledore would give us a week of papers. And a good amount of food. He gave us a muggle television and we would watch the important stuff. You should have seen our faces about half the stuff we saw in the paper about you. We wanted you so bad. But again - Dumbledore had his reasons." James replied after.
"But then after the second week of June. Dumbledore stopped appearing. With no papers and our television getting destroyed after a nasty cooking accident - we had no idea what happened. We are starting to get worried. We were just thinking about going out, when you showed up." Lily finished off smiling.
"James. Dumbledore. Tell em Harry. You've heard their story. They have to be them. You're his son." Hagrid said pushing Harry forward.

Hermione had fainted by the last sentence.

"HERMIONE!" the boys exclaimed.

Ron rushed over to her side as Harry stepped closer.

"What is Moony's furry problem?" Harry asked.
"He's a werewolf and I accompanied him in the Shrieking Shack as a stag at school." James replied.
"Who did you say you would rather date instead of my dad to in fifth year after your Defense Against the Dark Arts O.W.L.?"" Harry asked Lily.
"The Giant Squid." Lily laughed.

Harry grinned as he found the man and woman answer the questions correct. He looked up at them and then at Hagrid. Hagrid winked and looked at Ron. He smiled as he stroked Hermione's hair. Harry turned around. He looked at the adults realizing who they were - his parents. He walked up to them and hugged them close as his mum began to cry.

"Mum - Dad. You've been alive all this time. And Dumbledore knew - and I still had to stay with the Dursleys!" Harry said outraged.
"I'm sorry Harry." Lily said brushing her son's cheek with a finger.
"Where's Dumbledore?" James asked putting a hand on Harry's shoulder.
"He's dead. Him and me. We went out trying to destroy Voldemort or little pieces of him. And he was weak. We got to a tower and then. Snape killed him. I was under the invisibility cloak. He stunned me. I couldn't move. I had to watch just like I watched Cedric die! Frank Bryce! And how I watched Sirius die." Harry said as tears poured down his face softly.
"PPadfoot" James asked suddenly very quietly.
"Yeah. The papers never really explained that Sirius died. I mean - being on the run. I guess Dumbledore didn't want to mention it - probably because of my reaction." Harry said softly.
"And what was your reaction?" Lily asked.
"I threw stuff and screamed and ran after his murderer. Lupin tried holding me back - I broke free. I tried some things on her - useless." Harry said.
"How did he die?" James asked softly letting the truth hit him.
"Fighting. Lupin told me that’s how he would have wanted to go." Harry said.
"Moony is alive?" James asked.
"Yea and in love with a woman named Nymphadora Tonks - but she pprefersTonks. She gives him a hard time because he complains she deserves someone younger, and his problem. But they seem happy now." Harry said happily letting go of his parents.

Harry walked over to Hermione and helped her up. Hermione hugged Ron happily once she was up again. Ron smiled as he joined the hug. Harry's eyes were streaming with tears at the thought of having his parent's back.

James and Lily ran over to Hagrid as they watched their grown son have a moment with his friends. Hagrid was crying himself as Lily kissed his cheek. Meanwhile...in the friendship hug, the three friends were secretly having a talk.

"I say we keep them here. Protect them." Hermione whispered.
"Look. Dumbledore' sgone. It's never going to be safe. They need to live. And Harry needs his parents. We can't keep them shut up like Sirius." Ron replied.
"Why can't we just take them to the Burrow right now and figure out things when things come up?" Harry asked.
"Come on Ron. Dinner. They can meet his second family. Then take them back here tonight." Hermione whispered.
"Sounds good." Ron grinned.


The friends pulled apart as they walked together up to James and Lily.

"Mum - Dad. I want to introduce you to my second family." Harry grinned.
"That sounds wonderful!" Lily said beaming.
"I'm sure mum will let you stay for dinner." Ron added.
"I mean. With Bill and Fleur on their Honeymoon. Fred and George at the shop. Charlie back in Romania. Its just mum, dad, Ginny and I." Ron said.
"You Arthur Weasley's son aren't you?" James asked.
"Yea." Ron said leaving the house.
"We invited him and hi wife to our wedding. They had a two year old, a one year old and Molly was expecting twins." Lily laughed.
"I'm sure they'll be happy to see you again. But we should hurry. We don't want Harry getting killed do we?" Ron joked around.
"Shut it mate." Harry replied grinning.

"Ron and Hermione share a broom. You guys can take my Firebolt and I'll ride with Hagrid." Harry said getting onto the motorcycle.
"Wow. They really changed their brooms" James said.
"You should see Harry fly." Hermione said.
"HEY!" Ron added.
"And Ron." Hermione replied.

They began to fly as James and Lily followed Hagrid. After a few minutes they began to descend until they were back into the garden. Harry got off the motorcycle as he watched Ron help Hermione. He looked toward the window of the house and saw some red hair fly past it.

'Oh no' Harry thought. Harry watched as Ginny ran outside in her ppjshorts and tank top. Her hair was in a loose ponytail and she had her wand out. She ran faster as she got closer to Harry. She stopped abruptly three inches in front of Harry.

"HARRY JAMES POTTER! THIS IS THE SECOND TIME YOU HAVE LEFT ME EARLY IN THE MORNING! YOU BETTER HAVE A REASON FOR THIS OR I SWEAR I WILL BAT BOGEY YOU!! I WAKE UP AND YOU GGUYSARE GONE - AGAIN WHAT WAS I SUPPOSED TO SAY - " Ginny screamed but was cut off as Harry crushed his lips to her.

She dropped her wand as she put her arms around his neck and jumped up so her legs were around his waist. He put his fingers through her hair as she held Ginny up.

James and Lily had blinked. A feeling of awkwardness grew within them as they watched their young man kiss a girl. Ron scowled at his sister and looked at Harry's parents. He walked up to Harry and tapped his shoulder.

Harry put Ginny done and broke apart. Ginny kept her eyes on his. She breathed gently as she thought of the thoughts that had gone through her mind.

"Still going to Bat Bogey me?" Harry asked laughing.
"I might spare you." Ginny whispered.
"Harry! Um. You need to tell Ginny!" Ron said loudly.
"Tell me what?" Ginny asked confused.
"I went out to GodricsHollow today. And. Instead I found my parents alive. I brought them back with us." Harry said quietly.
"That's impossible Harry. Theres no possible way - Oh My Gosh. That man looks just like you." Ginny said going pale.
"Because he's my dad. And that’s my mum." Harry said pointing to Lily.
"I don't know what to say." Ginny said.
"Say 'hello'." James suggested.
"i. I'm Ginny. Harry's girlfriend as I just showed you - I feel so embarrassed! That’s the way I make my impression on your parents, Harry. Screaming at you sand ten just snogging you." Ginny said picking up her wand hiding her beet red face.
"Don't worry. We'll have other times to talk and then we can judge you." James said.
"You are beautiful." Lily said.
"Thanks." Ginny said smiling. "Guys, mum is going to be coming down any moment. We should hurry."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"RONALD WEASLEY! WHAT WERE YOU DOING OUT SO EEARLY And Harry - Hermione. You too! I bet you and a reason and hopefully a good one." Molly said trying to calm down.
"Hi Molly." Lily said walking through the door. "Your voice is as loud as it was before."
"Lily and James. This is incredible. Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny - upstairs now. We'll. I don't have control over Harry but you three upstairs." Mrs. Weasley said.

Ron, Hermione and Ginny disappeared up the stairs as Molly sat down.

"Let me guess. You guys did some magic and Dumbledore made you stay low?" Molly asked.
"Exactly." James said.
"Well. I suggest you want to see Remus?" Molly asked.
"I'm glad Moony is still here." James said sadly thinking about Sirius.
"Sirius' death was an accident. Harry - he thought he saw him dying - his death was trap." Molly said walking over to the window.

"Expecto Patronum" She whispered. Her patronus floated as Molly spoke clearly.

"Remus. I have something for you to see. And I need to discus tomorrows meeting." She said and watched as her patronus headed through the window.
"The Order started again." Molly said.
"Dumbledore told us." Lily said quietly.
"Minerva McGonagall is now in charge. She's also Headmistress." Molly said pouring some tea. "Harry. When Remus comes you'll go get him."
"Yes Mrs. Weasley." Harry said quietly.

Then a crack was heard. Harry stood up and ran outside.

"Harry! How are you?" Remus asked as he hugged Harry.
"I'm fine. We have something to show you. It just might make your day." Harry said and took him inside.

Remus walked inside the kitchen to see Molly sipping her tea. A woman with red hair was looking at him, smiling. Then a man with jet-black untidy hair. The man stood up.

"Hey Moony. Miss me?" James asked.
"I thought your ego had deflated." Lily smiled.
"Prongs - Lily." Remus gasped as he hugged his old friends.

Chapter 13:
The Epilogue

It had been nineteen years since Harry had first re-united with his parents. And all was well. With the help of his parents, his friends and Ginny, he destroyed all of the final horcruxes. And life had moved on. The deaths of Dobby, Mad Eye Moody, Colin Creevey, Fred Weasley, Rufus Scrigemour and many others were all in the past.

But now nineteen years later, Harry Potter sat in Potter Mansion at the kitchen table with his mother and father. James Potter sat across from Harry with his six-year-old granddaughter, Arianna Potter. Her long flaming red hair fell across her face. James pushed the hair from Arianna's face and smiled.

Lily poured four cups of coffee for her husband, son and daughter-in-law. She sat down peacefully and passed the cups of coffee.

"So. Ginny. Are you going to accept the offer from Saint Mungos?" James asked playing with his grandchild.
""I think I will. My training is complete and the hours are ok, they will give me holidays off. It seems fair." Ginny said setting her coffee down.
"I'm glad. I mean. You have three going back in September and two still here." James said.
"Actually. Three are staying." Harry said with a huge grin on his face.
"What are you talking about? Voldemort has been gone for almost two decades" Lily began confused looking at James.
"I meant, Ginny is expecting one more." Harry added.
"Are you really!?" James asked excited.

Ginny could only nod her head and she gave Harry a long kiss. James and Lily smiled at their son. The two of them were so in love. Their wedding was only a symbol of how much love they had shown in the love.

Flashback...

The winter weather breezed through the trees and the delicate flowers displayed around a white altar. The folding chairs were set up by the hundreds. Harry looked out his window in Potter Mansion as he set his wand down. He walked over to his wardrobe and took out his dress robes. The door opened and Harry spun around to see his mum and dad walking inside.

"Hey." James said sitting on Harry's bed.
"Hi." Harry replied.
"Nervous?" Lily asked.
"A little but I guess that's normal. How's Ginny?" Harry asked.
"Shes fine. Hermione is helping her out. Ginny is really excited and unfortunately I walked in while she and Hermione were having a very private conversation on honeymoons." Lily replied chuckling as she watched her son turn red.
"We are really happy for you son. Ginny - shes perfect for you." James smiled trying to recover making a mental note to get that story from his wife later.

"I love her so much. I mean. The way she took down Lucius Malfoy years ago. Narcissa was destroyed and trembling." Harry laughed.
"Which is why I'm perfectly sure she will keep you in line." Lily replied ruffling her sons' hair.
"I'm so excited." Harry said pulling on his robes.
"Careful on your excitement." Lily replied.
"Will you and Ginny be giving us any grandkids soon?" James asked interested.
"I don't know. Mind. That kind of stuff is private." Harry replied his ears turning pink.
"It's alright. My parents asked me the same thing on my wedding day. Unfortunately dad never got to meet you." James sighed.
"It seems like your life is set up. Your about to marry a beautiful woman, probably have kids by the way you have been looking at her, you have a wonderful job at Hogwarts, and you have us to support you guys along the way." James replied.
"I'm going to check on Ginny. Good luck baby. I'm so proud of you." Lily said leaving the room hiding a single tear.

"Alright. Seriously. You are about to get married. You have got to have your first night as a married couple planned out for Ginny." James said with no humor in his voice.
"I have some stuff planned. After the reception we'd go upstairs and we could discuss the honeymoon. Then we could just relax. Again, I'm not doing anything Ginny isn't ready for." Harry replied.
"That's good. But it's your wedding night. I think you and Ginny might have a little more energy that night." James said laughing a little.
"Let me try and get through my wedding first." Harry said looking out the window and noticed some people beginning to take their seats.

James sat up and walked over to the window. He put his hand on his son's shoulder and smiled at the altar. The door opened and the two men turned around to see Remus Lupin at the door.

"Knock knock." Remus said walking inside giving James and Harry a hug.
"Hey Moony." James said smiling.
"Hey Prongs. How you doing Harry?" Remus asked.
"Alright. Dad is trying to convince me to get Ginny to have a kid the first night," Harry said pointing to his dad.
"James! Ginny - shes never - she talks to Tonks and Tonks talks to me. Ginny - shes not ready." Remus sighed.
"I give up. But Ginny is getting betrayed as everyone is talking about her thoughts. And don't use the excuse that Tonks is your wife." James replied.
"Let's give it up. Harry. I think its safe for you to come down now." Remus replied.

James and Remus stood up and turned to face harry who was sitting down ruffling his hair.

"Ready to get married?" James asked his son.
"As I'll ever be." Harry replied

~*~*~*~

Harry was now standing at the altar smiling happily. James and Lily were sitting in the front row next to Molly and Arthur. Ron stood next to Harry as Harry's best man. Then the music began and Harry looked down to see Hermione walking down the aisle.

She walked down in her salmon dress. She smiled at Ron who winked at her which made her blush. Harry took little mind to it as he watching Ginny make her way down in her white dress. It wasn't a big poofy dress but a nice slim dress that showed off every feminitive curves on her body.

Harry didn't know how he did it. But he had managed to keep his eyes and tongue inside his head. He smiled as she smiled at him and held her flowers in her hands. When she made her way to the altar, she smiled and just smiled at Harry so happy.

"Dearly beloved. We are gathered here today to untie two individuals in Holy Matrimony. If there is any reason these two shall not be wed, speak now or forever hold your peace." The preacher began.

Mrs. Weasley shot George a look that he was about to stand up. But he showed no sign of wishing to joke around. He glanced at the chair next to him - where Fred should have been.

Harry began to say his vows smiling at Ginny. He slid a ring on her finger nervously and smiled. He then let out a big sigh. Ginny began to speak and slid a ring on Harry's finger, a little more confident than Harry did.

A golden stream of light exerted from Harry and Ginny's fingertips as they entwined. Lily took James' hand as the preacher spoke once more.

"You may now kiss your bride." The preacher announced and backed away.

Harry leaned down and captured Ginny's mouth in a soft passionate kiss. Ginny kissed him softly letting Harry's tongue enter her mouth. She gently pulled away after a few moments and sighed when she looked out at the crowd.

And then they made their way back down the aisle as Mr. and Mrs. Potter.

*~*~*~*~*
The reception was held in a ballroom at the Potter Mansion. People were laughing and dancing as if it was the graduation party at Hogwarts. Molly, Arthur, James and Lily were all talking together about the wedding and helping their children find a place of their own. Yet, Ron and Hermione were talking quietly in the corner of the room.

A soft song came on, Harry and Ginny made their way to the dance floor but Ginny ended up dancing with her dad. Harry ended up dancing with his mum but before he knew it - Ginny was in his arms.

They swayed to the soft beat as Ginny rested her head on one of Harry's shoulders. Harry inhaled Ginnys scent and sighed happily. He eventually took Ginny's chin and lifted it up and kissed it softly.

*~*~*~*~*

After the reception, James, Lily, Harry, Ginny, Arthur and Molly were left inside the Potter Mansion. Everyone had changed and was glad to e in more relaxing clothing.

"Any ideas for the honeymoon?" Molly asked.
"Not really. We were thinking some relaxing. Like. Harry has always told me about this thing called an Amusement Park and they have usually nice resorts and spas. That sort of thing." Ginny said.
"You would love that. They are all these rides. Some are for the younger kids but they're thrill rides." Harry said.
"But don't you want to do something more relaxing. Like - camping!" Lily exclaimed.
"Camping." James said sounding awestruck.
"Camping?" Arthur asked.
"Oh it's a fabulous muggle activity that I'm sure you would love to hear about later." Lily explained seeing Arthur's face light up.

"What is camping?" Ginny asked.
"It's when people sleep outside in tents at lakes and fish for food. They walk around forests. Its supposed to be very calm, relaxing and sometimes very romantic." James added.

Harry and Ginny blushed at the thoughts that went through their heads.

"It sounds perfect." Ginny replied.
"You like it? You want to go camping?" Harry asked surprised.
"Yeah. I'd love to be at a lake. Maybe have a good swim. And the tent experience should be cool. It seems perfect." Ginny replied trying not to laugh hoping Harry had gotten some of the hints.

He didn't.

But none the less. The next morning Harry and Ginny were all packed and ready to head off with their special tent and packed clothing. They headed with Harry's parents to the Burrow to say goodbye.

Hen they arrived they found Ron and Hermione in a quick snog that looked like it might become something more. Ginny did an impression of Umbridge's laugh and the two broke apart, scared for their life.

Hey. What's going on?" Ron asked.
"Were heading off for our honeymoon." Ginny replied winking at Hermione.
"What are you guys going to do?" Hermione asked.
"Camping. It's fun. Swimming, fishing, relaxing. Just leisure stuff." Harry replied unaware of Ginny's ears beginning to turn red.
"We'll we better tell you know then." Ron said shifting.
"Ron proposed to me last night. And I said yes!" Hermione squealed happily.

Everyone's jaws dropped in shock but then grinned as they congratulated the new engaged couple.

"We'll be back soon to help you." Ginny said as the four of them left the house.
"Oh. Don't let our wedding ruin your fun." Hermione replied.
"Trust me. It won't be all-fun and games"Harry began but stopped as Ginny began to whisper in his ear. "Or it might." As he began to grin.
"Just enjoy yourself - but not to much." Ron said.
"We'll see you in a couple of weeks." Harry said and took Ginny's hand as they disapparted.


Harry began to walk upstairs and peered inside his son's room. His sons, Albus and Severus were sleeping silently. Harry walked inside and shut the door He sat down in one of the chairs in the corner as he stared sat them.

Albus was now thirteen and had black hair and brow eyes. His hair was down to his ear and seemed to like it that way for he wouldn't let anyone cut it. Severus would be turning fifteen and was high hoping to become a Prefect. He had red hair and green eyes, which made look a lot, like his grandmother - if she were a boy. Both of the boys were exceptionally smart and amazingly powerful.

Harry had never been so proud of his sons as they were sorted into Gryffindor. They didn't get into a lot of trouble and listened to their teachers. Severus was a chaser on the gryffindor quidditch team and was helping Albus practice everyday to become a seeker like Harry was.

Harry eventually got up. He walked over to his sons' beds and kissed the tops of their heads lightly and ten left the room and headed down the hall.

He then entered a small pink room, which was none, but Demelza and Arianna'sroom. Demelza was named after Demelza Robins who had sacrificed herself for Ginny in the battle so many years ago. She reminded them a lot of her. She had Ginny's long red hair and her brown eyes. She would be turning fourteen and was a beater on the Gryffindor team. Demelza had often gotten into trouble when she was feeling really rebellious.

Arianna had the flaming red hair but had Harry's green eyes. She looked like a younger duplicate of Harry's mum, who had pointed it out every moment she held her six-year-old grandchild.

Arianna had just begun to show signs of magic. She had only last night levitated her pumpkin juice glass over Harry's head over to Ginny, so she could have some more. Harry and Ginny had burst out laughing as Arianna said, "I want juice." Harry had kissed his little girl who only smiled like she had just won a prize.

Harry immersed himself in memories and eventually kissed his little girls lightly and entered the last of his children's rooms. Sirius' room.

Sirius was only two-years-old but he already had the same attitude of Harry's old godfather. He liked to smile at girls whenever Ginny took him out for walks. He was growing black hair which, probably, would turn out to look like Sirius' old hairstyle.

Sirius couldn't speak yet but he could say simple things like, "da, ma, sis, and bro." He lay in his crib holding a picture of the Order of the Phoenix. Harry bent over to plant light kisses on his son's forehead when he noticed Sirius had taken a crayon and put an 'x' over Wormtail's face.

Harry chuckled and quickly left closing the door heading back downstairs to his parents and Ginny. He kissed Ginny's cheek and smiled at his parents.

"I just visited the kids. They are all sleeping. We are so lucky to have them and they are all so healthy." Harry said happily.
"And just think. In six months - you'll have one more baby to love." Ginny said smiling.
"You're doing a great job with them." Lily smiled. "They are the sweetest things. And only one of them ended up with James' ego."
"I take that into offence. Severus is doing fine. Remind me why you named a kid after that git." James replied.
"Because. He ended up being good all along and he kept me alive." Harry replied.
"Oh yeah." James said.
"So Ginny. Do you know I it's a girl or boy?" Lily asked.
"It's a girl. And I want to name her Nymphadora Luna Potter." Ginny said sadly.
"I like it." Harry said thinking of Tonks.
"Its perfect. Tonks would have loved it." Lily replied.
"Remus would have been glad." James said.

*~*~*~*~*

Six months later, Nymphadora Luna Potter was born and was healthy. All the Potter children from Hogwarts were sent to Saint Mungos to meet their new sister. The holidays were full of festivities including Ron and Hermione announcing they were pregnant with their first child.

The holidays ended as everyone headed back to school; Harry and Ginny were set now with three children at home, which they loved dearly. And so life went on for the Potters. All of their children entered Hogwarts and let with great career choices and excellent links for anyone was willing to work with a child of the man who destroyed Lord Voldemort.
