Harry's P.O.V.

I slowly walked up into the Gryffindor Common Room. My eyelids drooped. I was extremely tired. After all, I had just defeated the Darkest Wizard of all time. Deciding I needed some sleep I walked up to my dorm room. Everything was like it is except all my stuff wasn't there. The curtains and the posters. Even Dean's soccer posters but all worn out. I took my glasses and jacket off. Then climbed into bed and pulled the covers over me. I closed my eyes and fell into a deep dreamless sleep.

Ginny's P.O.V.

Where was Harry? The last I saw him was when he had finally defeated Voldermort. I ran up to the Gryffindor Common Room to find Hermione and Ron huddled together on a couch. "Hey Hermione do you know where Harry is?" "He's in his dorm sleeping. Although he's been asleep for ages! Should we wake him?" Hermione said. "Hermione RELAX!" Ron exclaimed "He's been up all night and he has finally defeated the Darkest Wizard of all time! You'd be sleeping till lunch if that was you!" Hermione shot Ron a glare but didn't answer. I walked up to Harry's room. I entered. All the bed's were empty except Harry's. I sat down on Harry's bed. I held his hand and closed my eyes. Yes Harry was here. He was alive. Not a ghost. Real. I breathed in deeply. I almost lost Harry tonight. "Ginny?" I opened my eyes. Harry was awake. Then it swept over me. The fear and anger. I pushed him and hit him. "YOU HARRY JAMES POTTER! You!" "Ginny...OW...I'm sorry...OW!" "You DEAD haunted my dreams EVERY NIGHT! AND I JUST HAD TO EXPERIENCE THAT!" "Ginny... stop...OW... it was the only way...OW!" "YOU LEFT ME! I HATED IT! YOU DON'T KNOW HOW IT FEELS!" "I do...OW...I was stupid...please stop...OW!" "YOU DON'T LOVE ME HARRY! YOU DIDN'T STOP TO SAY BYE!" Tears were falling down my face. "I love you Ginny I do. There was no other way! I know how it feels. I was so stupid and dumb!" I stopped hitting him. Tears filled my eyes. "Harry I'm sorry! I had no idea what I was doing!" "It's alright Ginny I understand. I was really dumb. You deserve to shout at me!" At that Harry looked away. I turned his face around and leaned in to kiss him. Then our lips met. After minutes Harry looked at me and said "I owe you an explanation Ginny." Then he launched into an explanation. About Dumbledore's lessons last year, about Horcruxes, about Ron walking out on them, about breaking into Gringotts, . "Voldermort made 7 Horcruxes'' Harry said "Before we left we had already destroyed 2." I looked at him bewildered. "I had destroyed Tom Riddle's diary and Dumbledore had destroyed Marvolo's ring." "T-Tom Riddle's diary was a Horcrux?" I asked. "Yes. So the Horcruxes was the diary, the ring, Slytherin's Locket, Hufflepuff's Cup, Lost Diadem of Ravenclaw, Voldermort's Snake, Nagini and-and me." "You?" "The night Voldermort came to Godric's Hollow to kill me the curse backfired. A part of Voldermort's soul exited Voldermort himself and latched itself onto the only living thing it could find. Me. That's why I had to die. If I didn't die Voldermort couldn't be defeated." "Oh Harry! You must have been terrified!" I said. "I was when I first found out. Do you know who I thought of when I was a second from death?" "No. " "You Ginny. I loved you and I did it for you. So you could live happier." Then Harry took a deep breath and asked me "Ginny will you go out with me again?" "Of course Harry" I exclaimed and he pulled me into a deep long kiss.
