He waited until Ginny was done with hers and then he said, "What do you say we go outside and sit by
the lake?"
"That sounds nice," she said as she got up and put her schedule back in her bag.
The great hall was nearly empty by that time and they had no trouble getting out to the grounds. They
went down by the lake and sat under the same tree they had sat under over a year ago. They stared out
at Dumbledore's tomb, not saying much, just resting.
After a while Ginny spoke up, "Harry,"
"Hmm…What Gin?" Harry said after shaking himself to get rid of the half sleep he had fallen into.
"When you Ron and Hermione were off chasing Voldemort, how often did you think of me?" Ginny
asked soberly.
"All the time Gin," said Harry as she stroked her arm, "there wasn't a minute of any day that I didn't
think of you."
"No really, I know you had other things on your mind," said Ginny as she sat up and looked into his
eyes. She knew that his eyes would tell her if he was lying.
"Really Gin, I thought about you all the time. I thought about you when ever we were close to being
discovered. I thought about you the first night we spent in Grimuald Place. To tell you the truth Gin,

panicked until she realized that they were just tears. As Harry reached up to wipe them away she
collapsed in to his arms, sobbing into his chest.
"What's wrong Gin?" asked Harry
"I was mad at you for so long after you left." Ginny sobbed as Harry put his arms around her, "After
you broke up with me at Dumbledore's funeral I thought that maybe after a few weeks you would
change your mind and we'd get back together. Then on you're birthday, in my room, I thought that
maybe we had started to make up." Ginny sobbed again. After a few minutes of softy crying and Harry
stroking her hair and whispering words of comfort to her she continued. "For those few days I thought
that maybe, just maybe, you'd take me with you when you left. But then the wedding came, and when
the Death Eaters attacked you left me behind, you didn't even say good bye, you didn't try and find me
to see if I was Ok. That broke my heart, and for the next few months, the only thing I could think about
was how much I despised you, and how much I wanted you back at the same time. It nearly tore me
