Chapter 13: Can you Imagine

Ginny POV:

I was signing autographs and talking to some students with Zola. There was one girl- who was a big fan- who kept asking questions about my baby, "When's your due date? Do you miss not being able to play quidditch? Where's Harry? Do you think the baby will be a girl or a boy? Who do you think the baby will look more like? What are you going to name the baby?"

I sighed and answered most of her questions, "June 16, yes and no, I don't know, I don't know, and James or Lily."

Her eyes widened, "Those were Harry's parents' names, weren't they? And why don't you know where Harry is?"

I was getting kind of annoyed, but before I could answer any more of her questions, Hermione came out and grabbed me by the arm and said, "Sorry, but I have to steal Ginny for a moment."

"Wait, aren't you Hermione Granger? You went on the horcrux hunt with Harry and your husband Ronald Weasley!" The girl called as Hermione dragged me away, and hopefully to somewhere better.

"So, where are we adventuring off to today?" I ask. When Hermione didn't answer right away, I got scared, "Hermione?"

"Yeah?"

"Where are you taking me?"

"We're going to Gryffindor tower!"

"Why?"

Her voice got an octave higher, "I just felt like it would be fun to go back there and remember all the good times we had there!" I could tell she was lying, but I couldn't figure out why she would be lying, or what she was lying about, but I let her take me anyway.

We got up and the Fat Lady said, "Password!"

"Diddywagon," Hermione responded.

"Wait a minute, how do you know the password?" I ask as we crawl through the portrait hole to the empty common room, except for two chairs facing away from us.

"We asked," Ron replied, standing up out of one of the chairs with a plain expression on his face.

"I'm guessing that 'we' doesn't consist of just you two," I said. I didn't feel like facing him right now, it was too soon.

"You're right," Harry whispered as he stood up from the other chair with his hands behind his back. Even though I knew that he was there, it still felt like a plaster being ripped off slowly as I saw him.

My eyes start to water, so I cross my arms and look away. "What are you doing here?" It took all that I had to keep my voice from cracking.

"I'm here for you, I want to apologise," He says. I doubt he's going to say that he's quitting his job, so I don't respond. "Do you remember this?" He brings his hands in front of him and reveals what he was hiding earlier.

Out of the corner of my eye, I can tell that it's gold, and I immediately know what it is. I turn to face him "Is that...?" He nods and I see tears coming to his eyes as well. I shake my head and then run to him. He puts the cup down and opens his arms, I jump into them, and smash my lips to his. We forget everything around us except for each other as we kiss. When I finally pull away, we lock in a tight embrace. I bury my face into his shoulder and let all the tears come out. I feel big wet droplets of water on the back of my neck and can tell that he's crying too. After a couple minutes frozen in place with only each other, I let go and wipe the tears from my eyes.

"So do you forgive him?" Ron asked, and I saw that he had his arm around Hermione's shoulders.

I smiled and said, "Well now that should be obvious!" Harry reached down and grabbed my hand as we left the common room together. "So, this was your master plan to gain forgiveness from Hermione and me? Recreate our first kisses with you boys?"
