Chapter 24: Talk with Mum and Dad

Ginny's P.O.V.

We exited the train. The trauma I had earlier was still stuck inside of me. It felt like a boulder sitting on my shoulders. Harry held my hand and squeezed it. We got to the wall where we had it walk through. I felt a bit better when I realized I was going to see Mum, Dad and George. Harry and I raced through the wall and there stood Mum and Dad right in front of us. "Ginny," Mum said, holding out her arms. I ran straight into them holding her tight. I felt mum's hand stroking my hand. She let me go. "Harry!" she exclaimed, giving him her signature hug. "Hi Mrs Weasley" Harry replied awkwardly. After the reunions of Hermione and Ron we all headed to Dad's new car. Yes, a new one. Not the one that Harry and Ron crashed in their second year. We hopped in. I tried not to think about what happened on the train. I lay my head on Harry's shoulder. Dad had expanded the car to fit all of us. There were 3 extra seats at the back where Ron, Hermione and George sat. George watched Ron and Hermione very carefully. Both of them were too embarrassed to even look at each other! Mum actually allowed Dad to fly the car. Dad hit the invisibility booster and then he started off flying back home.

When we arrived I stayed back with mum and dad. "Honey" Mum said "You seem a bit down. What's wrong?" My lip trembles as I try to hold back tears. "Ginny" Dad says, "you can tell us you know." "I-It's about H-Harry" I mumble. "Did Harry do something to you?" Dad demanded. "No. No it's nothing like that" I said quickly. Mum narrowed her eyes. "Seriously" I said "It's just I'm scared Harry will fall for someone else." "What do you mean?" Mum asks. "There- something happened on the train" I say quietly. "What" Dad insists. I don't say anything. Mum puts a hand to my cheek. "Don't worry sweetie we'll understand." "Cho- Cho Chang, the one Harry had a crush on in his 5th year" I said trying not to cry. Mum nods. "Who?" Dad asks. "Nevermind..." I reply "Anyways Harry broke up with Cho at the end of 5th year but now she likes him again because of his fame." I take a deep breath. "I-I'm scared that Harry will fall for C-Cho! I mean he's told me he loves me but what if he's saying that to just make me feel good!" I said, whimpering. I tried to hold my tears in but I couldn't. Tears fell down my face. Mum yelled "Accio Tissue box" and then the tissue box from inside the house came flying at us. Mum handed me a tissue. "Listen to me Ginny," Mum said, taking my hand. "Harry says he loves you right?" I nod. "Do you know anyone else Harry has said 'I love you' to?" Mum asks. I thought about it for a few minutes. I shook my head. "See" Mum reassures me "You're the only person Harry has said 'I love you' to. If you're the first person I bet he loves you a lot." It took me a while to process this but I agreed with mum. Once I got my trunk out of the car I levitated it back to the house. Harry was already in m-our room when I entered. "What took you so long?" Harry questioned. "I had a talk with mum and dad" I said, shrugging. I sat next to Harry after I put my trunk away. "Harry why did you choose me out of all the other girls in this world?" I asked. Harry looks at me and takes my hands in his. "Ginny" Harry says "You're smart, funny, beautiful, athletic. The list could go on! But Ginny I chose you because of all people you're the one that attracted me the most. Besides I love you so much Ginny!" "You mean that?" I asked, hoping 'yes' was the answer. "Of course" Harry replies. I smile and pressed my lips against his.
