Chapter 1.
Harry knocked on the door and a moment later a plump woman with shocking red hair opened it. Harry smiled bashfully and the woman grinned, enveloping him in a huge hug.
“Oh Harry dear! You’re here ! We weren’t expecting you till morning! Now do come in dear, your looking awfully thin…and tall” she added as she led Harry into the warmth of the kitchen.
An hour and 3 bowls of soup later, Harry yawned and Mrs Weasly led him upstairs. “I’m very sorry dear but I’ve had to put you in with Ginny as Uncle John unexpectedly turned up and is up in Ron’s room, Hermione hasn’t arrived either yet so I hate to think where she will sleep when she appears…” Mrs Weasly was babbling as they reached Ginny’s door.
Mrs Weasly opened the door and pointed to a cot in the corner, she whispered goodnight, and left, shutting Harry in complete darkness. He whispered a spell and suddenly he could see in the dark, he looked over at Ginny’s sleeping form and smiled to himself- she looked cute when she was asleep. He climbed into bed and was soon happily snoring.
A heavy pressure upon his chest woke him in the morning. His eyes flickered open as he looked up at the fuzzy image of a beautiful girl. He smiled to himself and reached for his glasses. “Morning Ginny” he mumbled as the weight was lifted from his chest.
“I’ve been trying to wake you for ages, water, shouting, magic…” she said to a yawning Harry. “I had to sit on you!” she laughed as Harry smiled.
Half an hour later Ron, Ginny and Harry had packed a picnic and set off walking in the woods. They found a spot down by the river and set out the picnic with a wave of their wands. The trio sat down and messed around, or rather, Ginny and Harry did, Ron just sat and stuffed his face. They spent the afternoon making the most of the sun, they climbed trees, went paddling, walked for a while and just laid and sunbathed.
Just before they went home they had a water fight, using their wands as guns. Soon they were all soaked. Harry peeled of his wet t-shirt in front of a heavily blushing Ginny, she was looking at his toned stomach and chest and only stopped when Ron offered to take a picture for her. Harry sniffed in an embarrassed fashion and itched his nose, looking away, hoping neither of them had noticed him blushing.
They reached The Burrow just as heavy raindrops started to fall from the sky. They ran inside laughing, and spent the rest of the evening playing a friendly game of Exploding Snap in front of a roaring fire.
Later on Ginny glanced at the clock. 11:30. She slowly stood up stretching. “I’m going to go up to bed, Night night.” Ginny yawned. Harry looked at her and replied “ I’ll be up in five minutes as I don’t want to accidentally wake you up later.” as Harry said this a strange look flickered across Ron’s face, a mixture of disgust, worry and anger. Ginny noticed this and raised one eyebrow.
Half an hour later Harry was curled up in bed listening to the rain drumming on the window sill. A rumble of thunder echoed in the distance and lightening forked the sky.
“Harry? Are you awake?” Ginny’s voice asked worriedly.
“Yes”
“Oh.”
A moment later a small body slipped into Harry’s bed.
“Harry, I’m scared.”
“Of the thunder?” Harry asked as he placed his arms around Ginny, a strange feeling fluttered around his inside his stomach. He found himself strangely satisfied and comforted by Ginny’s presence.
“Yes, but… but… more.” she said as she rested her head on Harry’s chest. Harry gulped.
“Well…what else? The lightning? “
“Yes, but…more…I…family….you.” Ginny mumbled placing a hand on the back of Harry’s neck causing him to turn beetroot red in the darkness. What’s wrong with me? Harry silently thought as Ginny suddenly sat up, startling Harry.
“Aren’t you afraid him ? Afraid that he wants you dead? Afraid that’s he’s hunting you down? Afraid that he could kill everyone you love, everyone you care for?“ Ginny spoke all at once, her voice strong as she spoke but tears stung her face. Harry reached out a hand and stroked Ginny’s cheek, he felt strangely protective, he wanted to wipe away her tears, tell her it’s a nightmare, tell her she’s safe. But he could not lie.
“Yes” the one word seemed to hang in the air as Ginny laid back down, burying her face in Harry’s chest.
“I have nightmares every night, its always the same, it’s always stormy, he opens the door laughing, I scream for help, but he says ‘No-one is alive to hear you scream’ he then points his wand at me and then…and then I always wake up.” she shuddered as she finished and Harry placed his arms around her once again. He felt a mixture of feelings, anger, fear, sadness and… love. He felt peaceful with Ginny, the most peaceful he had in a long time. It felt right to be laid holding her, it felt right to comfort her, it felt right to have her in his arms, in his bed, but the minute this thought entered his mind he banished it, She’s Ron’s little sister he said sternly to himself.
“Ginny, I want to say you are safe, I want to say it is only a nightmare, I want to reassure you that it could never happen. But I can’t, because I can’t lie to you.” he whispered, breathing in her intoxicating smell. Her small form shook as she sobbed into his t-shirt. She knew he was right.
“Oh God Harry, I’m just so frightened and then when I think that you have to face him some day, I feel worse, I feel frightened for you, I care ab-” she stopped herself and returned to crying against Harry.
That is how they fell asleep, that is how they were found in the morning, that is how Ron found them.
