Chapter 18: What Next?
~~~~~
The years past.
Harry had graduated and Ginny was forced to do her final year then she joined Harry in Auror training. Not even a year into Harry's training did the 'Final Battle' occur. Harry was so scared of what would happen but the fear was replaced with anger and that helped him defeat Voldermort. His anger was supplied when he had got inside information that Voldermort's next target was his loved ones.
After Voldermort was killed, Harry stood infront of the limp pile of robes and looked down at the body of the man he just murdered--no, wait, the scum he just eliminated. Then he thought, 'Now what?' He thought about what was next. What else could he do? He fulfilled his duty.
The next few weeks he got out of work and took time to himself to think about what he needed to do. He became submerged into a deep depression, he started drinking and smoking. Harry even moved to America for a few months without telling people. Ginny was so worried.
Then, after a very butch bartender asked him his story he began. "I have nothing to live for." Harry informed.
"Parents?" Big Mike, the bartender, growled while cleaning a glass in the dark, loud room.
"Killed when I was a year old." Harry slurred a little.
"Brothers and Sisters?" Big Mike tried.
"Only child."
"Friends?" Big Mike passed a beer bottle to a blond who took a seat by Harry, she seemed to be looking at everyone in the room but him, he didn't care, he had forgotten to shave.
"My two best friends got married, to each other." Harry mumbled.
"Roommate? Partner? Girlfriend?" Big Mike asked, still butch but softer.
"Girlfriend?" Harry asked, sitting up a little. His hand went automatically to his pocket and found a ring, the ring Harry planned on giving Ginny when he proposed.
"None then?"
"Her name is Virginia." Harry pushed his half empty beer away and rubbed the smooth gold band until he felt his eyes burning. "She is beautiful. She has long red hair and brown eyes. She makes me laugh."
"Where is she?" Big Mike grabbed Harry's bottle and put it under the counter quickly.
"England." Harry sighed, "I don't know if I can face her."
"Wanna talk about it?"
Harry sighed and thought quickly, "I killed someone." Big Mike said nothing, Harry had thought that he had done the same. "I was a--a cop." Harry made up. "He was a cereal killer. He murdered my parents. So I killed him and I don't know how everyone back home will react."
"Well, does Virginia--"
"Ginny." Harry corrected. The blond turned a little in the seat next to him.
"Ginny." Big Mike nodded. "Does Ginny mean anything to you?"
"Everything." Harry said, putting the ring safely in his pocket.
"Then what do you need to know?" Big Mike asked. Harry thought it over, he had been planning on asking her to be his wife when Voldermort was alive, what was different now? They are safer now!
Harry stood up slowly and turned around.
"Oh my goodness!" A british blond said from right next to him, "Your Harry Potter!"
"Yeah, I am." Harry mumbled.
"You have to get back to London!" The blond told him, grabbing his arm and pulling him out of the bar and down the street.
"What, why?" Harry asked.
"Ginny!" She said.
"Wait, wait," Harry stopped her and made the blond jerk back. "Who are you?" Harry looked up and down the shapely figure and the comely visage.
"You don't remember me?" She smiled and let a giggle slip.
"Dawn?" Harry looked at her over again.
"You remember!"
"What happened?" Harry looked her up and down again, the only thing the same about her was her eyes.
"A few spells, some hair die, and Yoga," she said, like it explained everything. "But lets not talk about me! Ginny is making herself sick because of you!"
"What?" Harry asked.
"She thinks you left because of her." Dawn pulled him toward a thin building where she buzzed a room and opened the door and pulled him up a flight of stairs. "Ginny thought she did something wrong."
The door they were heading to was already open and a familiar face was standing in the door way. "Hey Harry!" Colin yelled, "You need to go to London!"
"So I've heard." Harry was still on a little beer buzz when he got pushed in front of the fireplace.
Dawn grabbed a portable phone and began dialing. Harry looked around the place, trying to sober up. Colin and Dawn seemed to be living together in a modern muggle type flat with a lot of straight lines and metal. Interesting?
Harry watched as Colin grabbed his wand and tried to make a fire in the fireplace. Dawn was frantically yelling, "London! I said London your bloody Phone Demon!"
Colin was holding back a smile as he mumbled to Harry, "She hates over-seas operators." Harry nodded.
"Ginny? Ginny? I know your there! Answer the Bloody phone now! I have something very imp--" Dawn sighed, "Thank you! Start a fire."
"I'm not in the mood for company." Ginny's muffled voice was heard through the phone. Harry's heart stopped and his eyes began to water. How could he leave such a wonderful person?
"I'm not coming over to chat, Ginny!" Dawn said irritably. "Just start the damn fire."
"Fine." Ginny said. Harry clutched his chest, he felt his blood flowing and his heart pounding. He wanted Ginny so bad he could feel it in his fingertips all the way up his arms.
Kiki hung up the phone, mumbling curse words under her breath. Colin pulled on Harry, brushing his hair quickly and spritizing breath freshener into Harry's mouth and then pushing him towards the fire.
"Apartment 3G, Rowena Tree," Kiki ordered to the fire, tossing a handful of Floo Powder then helping Harry into it.
Harry pulled his elbows in quickly, too quickly. The spinning was effecting his stomach and he felt some of today's lunch start to creep up, Harry pushed it down hoping to stop soon. He kept spinning though, for another thirty seconds, but he had to floo from New York City in American to London, England.
When he finally stopped he tumbled out of the fireplace into a charming apartment, Ginny's charming apartment. The owner, herself, sitting on the couch. Her chin was resting on her knees and her hair pulled back into a bun, she had a baggy t-shirt, which belonged to Harry, and a pair of shorts on.
Ginny's sad face tilted upward but she didn't move from her seat. "Why did you leave?" she sounded betrayed.
"I've missed you," Harry admitted, walking over to her.
"Why did you leave?" She repeated, louder.
"I didn't want you to think less of me because I am a murderer." Harry sat next to her on the sofa, her wand was tossed carelessly on the floor. "I was afraid that you would think I'm evil."
"Your not evil, Harry." Ginny's hand reached out and touched his. All the pain and suffering Harry had been putting himself through seem to disappear with her one touch.
~~~
"Harry!" Ginny giggled, running from him up a hill in the park.
"Ginny! This is not a time to play games!" Harry marched up after her. "We have to be at the party in," Harry checked his watch, "five minutes!"
"Ron and Hermione will still be married three years when we get there, we won't miss their anniversary!" Ginny poked him and ran off again, her hair flying around her face.
Harry shrugged and ran after her, 'If you can't beat her, join her!'
Harry chased Ginny, trying to grab her and when they reached the top he did, "Victory!" He yelled but she pushed him over and rolled down the hill with him.
When they stopped about mid-hill, Harry rolled on top of her and smiled. "You always seem to get me in this position," Ginny winked. She propped herself up on her elbows and moved him to kiss him but he pulled away.
"I have something to tell you." Harry admitted to her confused face. Harry's hand went to his pocket and he felt the ring that gave him hope, the ring he was about to use, he moved it so his fist would cover it up. "Your the world to me."
Ginny's mouth opened. "All that matter to me is to make you happy. I want to do everything for you, I want you to feel like you are on top of the world." Harry's eyes began to burn but he pushed it aside. "I love you so much and I don't want to spend another day without you."
Harry opened up his fist and held the gold band up, with its three diamonds and twinkling charm.
"Virginia Molly Weasley, will you marry me?"
Ginny's eyes grew to the size of teacups.
