CHAPTER ONE: COULD IT REALLY BE OVER?
All was silent on the seventh floor of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Then the sound of footsteps penetrated the silence. A lone male walked towards the portrait of the Fat Lady, deep in thought. He paused a moment, looking longingly at the portrait, willing her to allow him entrance. ‘Enter, my dear.’ The portrait said as it swung inwards to reveal the entrance to Gryffindor Tower. Gratefully, he clambered through to reveal the familiarity of his house common room. There were very few signs of the battle that had taken place, with only a few broken windows to see. The man walked forward and sat on the red loveseat, which sat sedately in front of the fireplace. As he sat down, many memories rushed over him, both of his time at Hogwarts, and of the battle which took place just hours earlier. Then, sitting there, he broke down and cried. He cried for Tonks and Lupin, he cried for Colin Creevey, but most of all he cried for Fred Weasley, who had been like a brother to him since they met seven years ago.

He was still sobbing uncontrollably minutes later when the portrait hole opened once again. As he wept, a young woman sat on the loveseat next to him. He leant over and wrapping his arms around her neck, cried into her shoulder, while she joined him, lamenting the loss of their friends. Eventually their tears began to slow and in that moment, the young man looked into the eyes of the beautiful redhead who sat next to him. ‘Ginny…’ he began and faltered. It was now that Ginny Weasley spoke, ‘It doesn’t seem real, does it? Could it really be over?’ Once again, the male was silent. Ginny asked again, ‘Could it really be over, Harry?’ Harry Potter managed to choke out ‘yes’ before once again being lost for words.

Several silent minutes passed before Harry spoke once again, ‘Ginny, we… we need to talk.’ She turned to him, and he began, ‘I’m really sorry, I never should have broken it off between us. The whole time I was out there, I was thinking I had to survive. I kept going, not because I had to finish Voldemort, but because I could not die without you knowing that I truly love you. Truly, deeply and unconditionally love you.’ Ginny pulled Harry in close and whispered in his ear, ‘I know.’ Harry was once again amazed at how well Ginny knew what he was thinking, he was sure that there had to be some kind of connection. Acting on an impulse he had had since he saw her in the Room of Requirement, he softly and tenderly kissed her on the lips. Then she was kissing him back, and the kiss quickly became more heated and passionate, each opening their mouths to the kiss, exploring. Harry broke it off, telling Ginny they had to stop before it got too heated. Ginny argued ‘But I want it to get heated.’ To which Harry responded ‘So do I. Not in the middle of the common room though, anyone could walk in.’ Ginny and Harry both began yawning, and they both decided to retire, Ginny following Harry to the boys dormitory.

As Ginny lay on Harry’s bed, he made to lie on Ron’s, when he heard a loud throat clearing which caused him to turn around. There was Ginny, lying to one side of the bed, patting it, as she said, ‘Lie with me Harry, I won’t bite.’ He still looked a little unsure of himself, however, once Ginny removed her shirt showing a bright red bra and beautiful, shapely breasts, Harry gave in and removed his shirt as well, lying next to her, pulling the quilt over them. As he drifted of the sleep, Harry pulled Ginny closer and she fell asleep, her head resting in the crook of this shoulder.

Harry awoke the next morning to a male voice yelling at him.

‘HARRY JAMES POTTER! WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN BED WITH MY LITTLE SISTER?’ He looked up sleepily and saw Ron standing there, looking ready to curse him. ‘Shut up, Ronald. Please don’t wake Ginny she needs her rest. This request too late, as Ginny stirred and asked groggily, ‘What’s hap’ning? Who’s dead?’ Absentmindedly stroking her hair, Harry answered ‘No one, Gin, just your delightful brother giving us a wake up call. He’s a bit annoyed with our choice of sleeping arrangements.’ ‘He’s a filthy hypocrite. I wouldn’t be surprised if he slept with our dear friend Hermione.’ At this Ronald turned a brighter red than his hair (if that is possible), giving the overall impression of a carrot or tomato. Harry and Ginny giggled at this and Ron stormed down stairs, mumbling something about respecting privacy.

They went down to breakfast arm in arm, Ginny smiling radiantly as Cho Chang looked devastated, and Hermione was beaming. Arthur and Molly, soon arrived from the staff quarters where they had stayed the night. When Molly saw how close her youngest daughter was sitting to the hero of the wizarding world, she rushed over and excitedly asked if they were back together, to which they both replied in the affirmative. After both received bone-crushing hugs from Molly, Harry excused himself and went to discuss an idea he had had with Kingsley Shacklebolt and Headmistress McGonagall about a memorial for the fallen.

He quickly summarised his idea. ‘So basically my idea is a stone obelisk listing the names of the fallen, surrounded by the tombs of those who died protecting the castle from Tom Riddle.’ Both Kingsley and McGonagall thought this was a brilliant idea, and rushed off to ask the families of the deceased for permission for them to be buried here. All agreed and the memorial service happened two days later.

* * *

After the memorial service, the Weasleys, along with Harry and Hermione, returned to the Burrow, to begin the rest of their lives. The first dinner was a sombre affair without Fred, and throughout dinner, everyone present had a good cry, and by the end, everyone, even Mrs Weasley, was all teared out. Harry and Ginny were now dating again and were always together, enjoying the time they got together with the extra month’s holiday. Harry reflected on how his life had changed since he was a first year. He used to dread summer holidays and would have killed for extra time at school, but now the prospect of extra time off was wonderful, as he now had a real family. There was four months until Ginny would return to Hogwarts, and Harry had decided that he would go back to Hogwarts in the same year has Ginny to get his N.E.W.T.S and Hermione would be joining him, now all he had to do was tell Ginny but he decided to wait until her birthday to surprise her.

The holidays passed slowly and eventually it came to August 11, Ginny’s birthday. It was also, ironically the day that a Hogwarts owl turned up at the Burrow, to deliver school letters. When Ginny retrieved the mail, she saw birthday cards from her family and friends, the sifting through she found her Hogwarts letter, she also saw two other Hogwarts letters, and thinking there was a mistake, she checked the names. She read ‘Hermione Granger, The Burrow, Ottery St Catchpole’ and then she let out a shriek of joy as she read ‘Harry Potter, The Burrow, Ottery St Catchpole’. When Harry came rushing to see what had happened he saw the Hogwarts letters and said ‘I was wondering when they would come. I suppose the game is up, both Hermione and I are going to Hogwarts to do our N.E.W.T.S with you.’ As he said this, he read his Hogwarts letter, in McGonagall’s unmistakeable loopy writing.

Dear Mr. Potter,
We are confirming that you will complete your N.E.W.T.S at Hogwarts, and have accepted that you will take seventh year, which you missed last year, over this school year. Please find enclosed your booklist. We are also pleased to announce that after much deliberation you have been appointed as Head Boy for this year. Please find enclosed your badge and directions to get into the Head Boy and Girls private common room/dormitory. For your information the Head Girl is Ms Ginny Weasley. The password for the Heads common room is Victory, although you and Ms Weasley can feel free to change it. We look forward to seeing you on September 1st, please remember the Heads must sit in the Prefects carriage and patrol the corridors for a period of time.
Yours sincerely,
Minerva McGonagall
Headmistress


Ginny read her letter and ran over to hug Harry. ‘You’re Head Boy, which means we get private rooms and a common room! This will be so much fun. It is a great surprise, Harry.’ Everyone heartily congratulated Harry and Ginny, and in typical Mrs. Weasley style, she put on a feast and bought Harry and Ginny both new owls. Both were handsome barn owls. Harry named his Moony, in honour of Professor Lupin, and Ginny named hers Tonks, as a way of honouring two of their dead friends.
