Author Notes: This is my first time writing slash, please be gentle (LOL). This story takes place after Voldermort has been killed. For the purpose of my story Professor Snape is still alive.
The story begins towards the end of summer just before they get on the train to Hogwarts for their final year. Harry never returned to the Dursley's after he defeated Voldermort.
HPSSHPSSHPSS
Harry laid on his bed in Grimmauld Place; he wanted a chance to think.
Harry had always had is life laid out before him – defeat he who must not be named, beyond that he never he never gave it much thought because he truly believed he would not survive the war. But he had, he defeated Voldermort a couple of months ago and now he is known across the wizarding world as the boy who lived again and defeated he who must not be named.
He never had a chance to spend as an ordinary teenager, for the past seven years he has spent most of his time in training to defeat Voldermort and now for the first time in his life he had a future.
Harry, Hermione and Ron plus a few others that were involved in the war have decided to go back to Hogwarts and complete their seventh year and obtain their NEWTS.
"Hiya Harry" Ron said coming through the door startling Harry out of his thoughts
"Ron" replied solemnly
"Wotcha doing?"
"Nothing, just thinking"
"What about Harry?"
"Not much. So what's happening" Harry asked
"Mum taking us to Diagon Alley tomorrow to get our school supplies, man I don't know why I agreed to go back"
"You agreed because of Hermione, couldn't spend much time away from your girlfriend" Replied Harry a bit lighter
"Sad but true."
"So where is Hermione?"
"Her and Ginny are discussing something, not sure what though, but with girls you never can be sure, can ya"
"Guess not" Harry said blankly
"What's the matter Harry, you seem distant?"
"Nothing Ron, I'm just tired and not sleeping very well at the moment" Harry lied, he didn't want to tell Ron what was really bothering him when he really didn't understand it himself
"Nightmares?"
"Yeah, and a lot on my mind"
"I understand mate, Hay tomorrow if ya don't mind umm..... I mean, I really like to have some private time with Hermione and I'm sure Ginny will love to have some time with just you" Ron said slightly embarrassed
Harry cringed on the inside, he didn't understand why. Ginny and he have been dating now for a couple of months and she was pressuring him to get a bit more serious, yet he could bring himself to do it. He liked Ginny and at the time it seemed like a good idea to start dating but to him it now feels awkward, its not like they did anything intimately they only have kissed a few times and yet he knew Ginny did want to take it further.
"Yeah I guess"
"Gee mate don't sound so enthused about it"
"Sorry Ron, I just really......"
"Harry" came the excited voice of Ginny has she came into the room and head straight over to him with Hermione following behind in her.
"Hay Ginny" Harry said letting out a sigh as she cuddled up next to him on the bed and gave him a kiss at which he never really returned all he really wanted was to be alone right now.
"Hay Harry" Hermione said after giving Ron a kiss.
He was glad the Ron and Hermione have told each other how they truly felt about the other and ever since then the relationship has blossomed. "Hermione"
"What are you guys doing anyway" Ginny asked trying to cuddle Harry even closer.
"Nothing much really just talking about going to Diagon Alley tomorrow, that's all" Harry said only giving out half the truth.
"Can't believe we are all going to be in the same year" Ginny said excitedly and gave Harry a kiss on the check" Do you think we can all be in the same classes?"
Harry at this point felt really suffocated; he shifted on his bed but decided he really had to get out of there.
"What's the matter Harry?" Ginny asked concerned as Harry shifting.
"Nothing Ginny, can you move I need to go to the bathroom" Harry lied
"Kay, don't be long" Ginny stated
Harry got up and rolled his eyes, he was going to be as long as he wanted.
He got out into the hallway and headed downstairs, he really didn't need to go to the bathroom at all he just used that as an excuse to get away from his friends, all he wanted to do right now is be alone.

"Do you think everything is alright with Harry?" Hermione asked once she knew Harry was out of hearing range
"He seems down in the dumps a lot and he said he is still having nightmares" Ron said
"If you ask me I think Harry is fine" Ginny said
"Really, I suppose you been his girlfriend and all would know" Ron said sarcastically
"Yeah I am his girlfriend Ron, you remember that and one day I hope I will be his wife" Ginny confidently stated
"He has to ask you know Ginny" Ron pointed out
"I know but it is what is expected of him now, he defeated he who must not be named."
"I think Harry has to survive his NEWTS first" Hermione interrupted
"Don't we all" Ron added
"I hope we are all in the same classes" Ginny said
"Our classes depend on our career choices Ginny, you know that" Hermione firmly reminded Ginny
"I know, I just want to be with Harry all the time" Ginny replied in ore
"Ginny, you also need time by yourself and so does Harry" Ron said slightly annoyed with his sister wanting to be with Harry all the time.
"Not too much Ron. Anyway speaking of Harry shouldn't he be back by now?" Ginny asked confusedly at why Harry wasn't back yet
HPSSHPSSHPSS
Diner time came around and neither Ron, or both Ginny and Hermione have seen Harry since he left to go to the bathroom.
They all sat at the table noting Harry absence from the table.
"Where is Harry?" Ginny asked her mother
"Right behind you dear"
"Harry" screamed Ginny as she jumped up and gave Harry a hug which he begrudgingly returned. "Where the hell have you been Harry you only said you wanted to go to the bathroom and that was nearly two hours ago!"
"Went for a walk" Harry simply replied ignoring Ginny concerns
"How dare you just get up and leave like that Harry" Ginny said who was fuming by now
"Look Ginny I just went for a walk and lost track of time" Harry said irritated
"You could have told me and I would have come with you"
"That's why I didn't tell you Ginny, I wanted to be alone for a while is that too much to ask" Harry bit back angrily
"You don't have to be so rude about Harry" Ginny replied holding back the tears.
Harry just looked at her, he wasn't sorry for been angry at Ginny. Truth be told he felt kind of good about and it confused him, Ginny was suppose to be his girlfriend and if he upset her wasn't he suppose to feel bad or guilty about it, and he didn't. Truth be told, he was starting to feel very much suffocated by Ginny wanting to be with all the time and he hated it.

The next day Harry and the Weasley's flooed across to the Leaky Cauldron and headed out towards Diagon Alley to get their school supplies for the year.
Harry had to head off to Gringotts to get some money, Ginny wanted to go with him but Harry told her that he didn't like to have company when attending his vaults. Ginny was furious with him and stormed off and again he wasn't bothered about it.
Upon returning from his vault Harry sort out Ginny to have a talk to her, he felt that he needed to talk to her about what just happened and get her to understand that some things he does are private like going to his vault.
"Ginny" Harry said coming up from behind her.
Ginny turned around and Harry instantly saw that her eyes are red. "Ginny"
"Harry....thought you wanted to be left alone" Ginny said sniffling
"I told you Ginny, I always attend to my vaults by myself" Harry simple said hoping that maybe she could see that his vaults are just that his and he wasn't prepared to share with anyone until he was married.
"But Harry I'm your girlfriend" Ginny said with a trace of malice in her voice
"I know that Ginny but I still like to go to my vault by myself" He said trying to get her to see they are not hers to look at
"But Harry I thought that since we're together we share everything"
"Ginny you are only my girlfriend not my wife, at this point in our relationship I think you need to understand that"
"But Harry I wanted to spend as much time as I can with you before school goes back and you are making it very hard" Ginny replied trying to hide the fact that his statement about not been his wife and only his Girlfriend hurt. She knew that he was only his girlfriend but she is hoping that they will get married.
"I know you want to spend as much time with me as possible Ginny, but I really don't want you around me every single second Ginny. I need my space, able to do some of the things I enjoy doing as well. I have to have time to myself too Ginny, away from everybody – you, Hermione and Ron" Harry said holding onto his temper
"Time for what Harry"
"Ginny I need time to recover"
"Harry you already killed Voldermort that was a couple of weeks ago, its over now, time for you live your life and move on" Ginny retorted back at him who was getting sick of the whole voldermort situation.
"I know I killed him Ginny you don't have to remind me, but I'm still having trouble dealing with it, as well as everything else that has happened to me over the last seven years" Harry replied with a lot of malice in his voice
"Harry its over, its time to move on"
"MOVE ON, Ginny I can't move on"
"Harry it happened six weeks ago, let ago would you and just get on with life, with us and our future"
"Ginny you don't understand, this is not something I can just forget and move on with"
"FINE THEN HARRY, UNTIL YOU DO FORGET ABOUT IT THEN COME AND SEE ME BUT UNTIL THEN I THINK IT MIGHT BE BEST IF I DO GIVE YOU WHAT YOU WANT" with that last comment Ginny stormed off
Harry just stood there, not sure at what point the conversation went sour. He wanted to explain to Ginny and hoped that she understood that his vaults are his private affairs but obviously Ginny couldn't see that and then she had to turn it around into a fight about Voldermort and how he should be over it.
Harry has not gotten over the fact that he had killed the wizard. All his life Voldermort has been a played a huge roll in Harry's future and now that he was gone he was free to do whatever he wanted to do and that prospect really scared the shit out of him.
He headed out into Diagon Alley, his first stop was Madam Malkin's to get more robes for school, then he headed across to get his ink and parchment that he needed. Once he collected those he left for the Apothecary to collect his potion supplies which he was really hoping that he could do well in this year after his efforts with Professor Slughorn in his sixth year although he did have the help from the half blood prince potion book which unbeknown to Ron, Hermione or Ginny he went back to the room of requirements to retrieve.
He left the Apothecary shop for flourish and Blotts to collect his books that was required plus a couple of extra's that he needed. He spent about an hour and a half in the book store gathering what books he needed and was thankful that Ron or Hermione weren't with him, they would die of shock that he spent so much time in here especially Hermione.
He left Flourish and Blotts only to bump into Neville and Luna.
"Harry, how are you?" Neville asked excitedly upon seeing Harry.
"Hello Neville, Luna" he replied
"Hello Harry" Luna said as if she was out with the pixies
"How are things going Neville?"
"Pretty good Harry" Neville replied happily
"That's good, what about you Luna"
"Well Dad been busy with the Quibbler but the Magwasp is causing problems with the printing" Luna replied
"What is Magwasp Luna? Oh, never mind, I work them out later." Harry said
"You got all your things ready to back to school Harry?"
"Yeah I do, I was about to head over to the quidditch shop for a while"
"We just finished and were about to get some ice-cream would you care to join us Harry?"
"Yeah, sure, why not" Harry responded
Harry, Neville and Luna head over to Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Polar when Harry suddenly stopped and saw that Ginny was already in there along with Ron and Hermione and Harry found he was unable to enter and had to get away and fast. He could see that Neville and Luna were too engrossed with each other to notice that he had started to slow down and when Harry was a few feet behind them he took off as fast as he could before they could see him disappear.
Harry was frustrated at what was happening to him, as much as he liked his friends he really needed time to himself. His friends didn't seem to understand that he needed time out from everything including them. Although he was heading back to Hogwarts, he was not looking forward to it, for the simple reason everyone wanted to know all the details of how he killed Voldermort. They would hound him, follow him, touch him and would want to be his friends all because he defeated the most powerful dark wizard of their time.
But that was not the only thing that seemed to be frustrating Harry. His friends, although they were still friends things have changed and their friendship was different from before. Sure they still hung out but now that Ron and Hermione were together which Harry was glad for, but it wasn't the same as before. He suppose it was because he was still having trouble getting over the war and yet Ron and Hermione has discovered their feelings for each they were able to lean on each other and move on with their life. Harry guessed it would be easy for them to get past it because they were not in the thick as it as much as he was and didn't see or suffer the things he had suffered.
Then there was Ginny, his girlfriend. When he and Ginny first started to go out Harry was at least for an extremely short time thought he was happy but now that he looked back on it, his happiness was only because he survived the war. Ginny was a sweet, pure, gentle and innocent. Although she had been there for part of the war she had not seen the worst of hit and had a hard time understanding why he simply couldn't 'get over it' like she had told him. He liked Ginny but he didn't love her. He has lost interest with been with her, it was the same with Cho as well. When he was with Cho, she could not make him feel anything for her and it was the same with Ginny, perhaps he hadn't found the right girl for him yet after all the last seven years of his life has been designated in defeating Voldermort and never really had a chance to explore his sexuality much. But now that Voldermort was gone he can do that, he could look for that special someone.
Harry decided that he would go to the Leaky Cauldron for a quiet drink, besides he was to meet up with the Weasley's in just over an hours time to head back Grimmauld Place.
Harry entered the Leaky Cauldron and headed over to the bar, he really needed a drink.
"Well hello Mr Potter, what can I get for you today?" Tom the barman said with much excitement in his voice.
"Um, yeah...hi" Harry started feeling a bit awkward because of Tom excitement but continued anyway "Um...I like to have a Butter beer please"
"Very good Mr Potter" Tom said, he poured the Butter Bear and placed it onto the counter
"How much?" Harry asked after Tom never said anything to him
"No charge today Mr Potter, it's on the house"
"But I really like to pay" Insisted Harry
"I won't expect any payment from our saviour"
"Fine then" Harry said a little annoyed and turned to find a seat somewhere quiet but unknown to him while he was ordering his drink some reporter's came in from both the daily prophet and witch weekly.
"Look its Harry Potter" One said
"Harry Potter" followed by another and before Harry could comprehend what was going off camera's were flashing and reporter's started asking questions.
"Harry what you are going to do now that he-who-must-not-be-named is defeated?" One asked
"Harry are you going to complete your last year at Hogwarts?" then another asked
"Harry are you still dating young Miss Weasley?"Someone else asked
"Are you going to marry her?"Another one asked
"When are you going to have children?" someone to his left asked
"What do you think of the man who killed Albus Dumbledore been given a full pardon for the crime?" one asked that was close to him
"Why did you testify for him?" another shouted from the back of the crowed
"Harry is it true that you and Miss Weasley are expecting a child" another one asked him
Harry felt as though he was trapped, he had to get out of there. If it wasn't Ginny that was crowding him, it was the reporter's and that was the last thing he needed. So picking out a destination in his mind and apparated away from there to a place he hoped no one come to look for him.
HPSSHPSSHPSS
An hour later Hermione and the Weasley's entered the Leaky Cauldron in hope that Harry was there waiting for them. Hermione, Ron and Ginny were getting ice-cream when Neville and Luna came in saying they met up with Harry and decided to have some ice-cream with them but was shocked that Harry had disappeared without saying a word to them.
Hermione and Ron were shocked at Harry just taking off without saying a word but then again they should have known better as Harry hasn't been himself lately, pulling away from everybody wanting to be on his own were as Hermione thinking is that he needed people around him that love and care for him.
Ginny to say in the least was furious at Harry again, first he takes off yesterday for a couple of hours without saying a word to her, then he wouldn't allow her to go with him down to his vaults and she doesn't understand why Harry said no to her and now when Neville and Luna came in for ice-cream saying they met up with Harry she was excited that her Harry was going to be there but instead Harry hadn't taken off again. Ginny decided next time she sees Harry she is going to give her a piece of her mind.
"I don't see Harry at all" Mrs Weasley said looking around the Leaky Cauldron.
"Neither do I" responded Mr Weasley who was also looking around for Harry
"He knows to meet us here, we were all going to head back to Grimmauld place together" Mrs Weasley said slightly agitated that Harry was not there.
While they waited they ordered some drinks and sat around waiting for Harry to come. After about half an hour Mrs Weasley was losing her patience fast with Harry for taking so long to get the Leaky Cauldron. Ron and Hermione wanted to head back out to Diagon Alley to look for Harry but Mr Weasley suggested that they all floo back to Grimmauld Place and he will stay behind and search for Harry.
Reluctantly they agreed to what Mr Weasley suggested and head back to Grimmauld Place all feeling annoyed at Harry for taking to long and a little bit worried about his behaviour lately but no one was yet ready to voice there concerns.
HPSSHPSSHPSS
Mr Weasley returned home about four hours later without Harry.
"Dad, where's Harry?" Ron asked his father as soon as he stepped out of the floo even before he had a chance to cast a cleaning spell on himself.
Arthur cast a cleansing charm walked over to his wife place a kiss on her cheek and sat down at the head of the table contemplating on how he will tell his family what he found out about Harry.
"Arthur where is Harry?" Molly asked her husband "I thought you said you are going to look for him and bring him back"
"Molly I think you better sit down for this" Arthur said reaching out grabbing hold of his wife hand and guiding her down in the seat next to him.
"Dad what's happened to Harry?" Ron asked getting concerned about his friend
"After you guys left I went back into Diagon Alley in search of Harry" Arthur started to explain to his family and Hermione "After a little while I couldn't find him and then I decided to head into Knockturn Alley thinking that he might have wondered down there but I had no luck in finding him there either.
I went back to the Leaky Cauldron in hopes that Harry was there waiting for us, but he wasn't. I asked the barman had he seen Harry Potter and he said no but had only just started and Tom had left for his break. I asked him to keep an eye out for him and if he came in before I get back to tell him to stay there until I got back.
I headed out into muggle London and did a search around the area there thinking perhaps he might have gone out to have a look. After an hour I could not see him anywhere and headed back into the Leaky Cauldron where I saw Tom behind the bar and asked him had he seen Harry at all today.
Unfortunately that's when I found out what happened to Harry. Apparently Harry was in there approx five hours ago, an hour before we got there ordered a drink and was then bombarded with reporters from the Daily Prophet and Witch Weekly all asking him questions. From what Tom could see Harry got overwhelmed and apparated out of the Leaky Cauldron and no one has seen him since"
Hermione gasped, Ron's mouth was gaping like a fish and Ginny sat quietly moving the food around on her plate with her folk.
"So what is to happen now Arthur?" Molly inquired
"I have already contacted Professor McGonagall about Harry disappearance; she is concerned and should be over here in an hour's time"
"But dad what if something has happened to Harry?" Ron asked concerned for his best friend
"I don't think he is hurt Ron, well at least not in the physical sense that is" Hermione added thoughtfully trying to work out Harry actions
"What do you mean Hermione?" Ron inquired
"I mean that Harry hasn't been himself lately especially since he defeated Voldermort, I think he could be hurting on the inside after all for the past seven years Harry has always been in the middle and he has lost a lot of people who he cared deeply for"
"If he is hurting like you say Hermione, why doesn't he tell us then" Ron said slightly agitated
"Because I think Harry doesn't understand himself"
"What do mean by the Hermione dear"
"I mean Mrs Weasley is that Harry has never been good to deal with his emotions especially after Cedric, Siris, Remus, Tonks and Dumbledore deaths he never had a chance to grieve for them as it was always back to training or summer holidays where he had no support when he needed it the most"
"It makes sense you know" Mr Weasley added
"If you ask me I think Harry just been rude and selfish" Ginny added her voice coming across as annoyed but upset
"Genève Weasley, HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT ABOUT HARRY"
"Come on mum it is true, you seen the way he has been acting lately and going off by himself all the time"
"That maybe true Ginny but he has to sort himself out"
"That's right stick up for him Hermione, but what about me?"
"What about you Gin" Ron asked annoyed at his sister attitude towards Harry
"Ron, I'm his girlfriend for Merlin sake, he is suppose to talk to me"
"Have you even given him a chance Gin?"
"Of course I have" she lied
"Yeah sure you did" Ron replied sarcastically
"AND WHAT'S THAT MEANT TO MEAN RON" Ginny started to yell
"IT MEANS GINNY THAT YOU HAVE ONLY BEEN INTERESTED IN SNOGGING HIM AND NOT TALKING TO HIM" Ron yelled back
"LOOKS WHO TALKING, IT'S NOT LIKE YOU TALKED TO HIM THAT MUCH EITHER RON"
"I HAVE TRIED GINNY BUT WHAT ELSE WAS I SUPPOSE TO DO, HE IS SUFFERING FROM LITTLE TO NO SLEEP AND WHEN HE DOES SLEEP THEY ARE FILLED WITH NIGHTMARES"
"IT IS ALWAYS THE SAME WITH HIM ISN'T IT, NIGHTMARE AFTER NIGHTMARE I THINK IT TIME HE MOVED ON"
"Ginny you're unbelievable" Hermione added
"Why because I think Harry needs to move on and forget what has happened
"GINERVA WEASLEY HOW DARE YOU SPEAK OF HARRY THAT WAY" Molly said sternly to her only daughter "HARRY BEEN THROUGH A LOT AND YOU EXPECT HIM TO FORGET LIKE IT NEVER HAPPENED"
"He's been acting like a selfish child lately" Ginny said quietly
"NO HE IS NOT, HE IS ACTING LIKE A MAN THAT HAS A LOT TO WORK THROUGH AND HE NEEDS THE TIME AND IF YOU CAN'T HELP GINNY THEN I WOULD SERIOUSLY THINK ABOUT THE RELATIONSHIP YOU HAVE WITH HIM"
"I DON'T NEED TO THINK ABOUT IT, I WANT TO MARRY HIM"
"You what, Ginny?" Ron asked stunned
"I said I want to marry him are you deaf Ron"
"I think that's enough from all of you" Arthur Weasley put in "You are all getting so worked up that you are all forgetting the most important thing here and that is to discovered where Harry has gone to"
"I would agree Arthur" Professor McGonagall said.
"Minerva I didn't hear you come in" Molly added
"It would have been hard to hear anything with all the yelling and screaming going on" the stern witch retorted
"You heard"
"It was a bit hard not to. Now what this about Harry" she asked
Arthur launched into the story of what he discovered in Diagon Alley today while Molly went and got some tea and biscuits for everyone.
Silence followed Arthur explanation has they all sipped on their cups of teas.
"How has Harry behaviour been?" Minerva asked after a couple of minutes of silence
"Honestly Minerva Harry hasn't been himself at all"
"In what way Molly"
"He seems distant"
"I see"
"He also been suffering from nightmares as well Professor"
"Nightmares about what Mr Weasley"
"I don't know Harry won't say. Before he goes to bed he cast a silencing charm and he also locks his room, so I don't know how badly"
"Mmm"
"I had no idea Harry was doing that" added Molly
"I think it could be his way of not disturbing everyone, he keeps a lot of things to himself" Hermione said
"Yes that is true Miss Granger but the question now is what do we do?" Minerva asked
The room fell silent, no one knew what the answer is, first of all Harry had not been himself he had withdrawn himself from everyone demanding time to himself and no one had done the curtsey of leaving him be. Second they did need to know where he was, there were still death eaters on the loose who are still out to get Harry and they had to know weather or not Harry was safe. It was a question that brought nothing but conflicting answers.
Hermione and Ron were both thinking along the same line but unaware of it until Hermione was the first one to speak.
"I think we should leave Harry be for a little while"
"I agree with you Hermione I really do think he could do with some time away from everyone" Ron replied to Hermione statement
"But what about the death eaters that is still out there?" Molly came back with.
"I think Mr Potter is smart enough to keep a low profile and it's probably just what he needs"
"Are you sure Minerva?"
"School goes back in just under a week and Mr Potter knows to be there and perhaps with a couple of days of peace and quite where he can sort himself out might just do him the world of good, if I go by the Severus was acting before I sent him away as well"
"Severus? Minerva"
"Yes he has been extremely difficult to be around with more so then usual. It got to the point where I sent him away for a few days to be by him self and it did him the world of good, he is pretty much back to his normal snarky sarcastic self and that maybe what Harry needs as well, they both have been in the centre of the war for such a long time"
"I agree perhaps it could be best for Harry"
"I hope so Minerva, I truly hope so that poor boy has been through so much"
"That he has Molly but I think our pity is the last thing he wants."
"I know Minerva, its' just that I do worry about him he is like another son to me"
"I understand that Molly, he means a lot to mean as well"
"Professor?" Hermione asked
"Yes Miss Granger"
"I know you said it was a good idea for Harry to have some time out but how can you be sure nothing happens to him"
"I can't Miss Granger but if Mr Potter is in the same state of mind as Professor Snape was I'm sure he will be fine"
"But Professor the death eaters that are still out to kill Harry"
"Yes that is true but my guess where ever Harry is I think you will find he could be somewhere where he doesn't want to be found"
"I think we just have to wait and see" Mr Weasley added
"What about the Daily Prophet, I mean there bound to publish something about Harry" Ron spoke up
"I know but a lot of it will be hear say and they wouldn't be able to print his location on the simple fact they don't know, which give him nearly the whole of the UK to be in"
Ron nodded his head.
After a long discussion of what to do about Harry and the best way to help when he gets back Minerva headed back to Hogwarts to get ready for the beginning of the school year.
Ron, Hermione and Ginny all went back upstairs to continue a bit more on what Harry had did and try to contact him. But unfortunately for them they couldn't apparate to where is because they simply don't know and it the same for a floo call as well. They thought they could owl him but once again they hit a brick wall so to speak, with Ron's owl already left for Hogwarts and Harry's owl Hedwig been killed in the battle they had no means to send him a owl.
Ginny on the other hand was annoyed with Harry for once again taking off and leaving her behind which made her frustrated. She wanted to be with Harry every possible second in hopes that they could one day be married and that way she will be happy and so would everyone else, after all it was expected of him now to settle down with a good witch and have children and Ginny wanted to make sure that she was that witch.
After a little while they all headed to bed in hopes that perhaps Harry will come back tomorrow.
