Chapter 1 The Incident

Knock Knock Knock "Coming", grunted Harry as he walked towards the front door. When he opened the door, he was shocked. There in front of him stood Ginny, and he noticed something was wrong with her eye, it was blue and purple. Tears where falling from her eyes, down on to her cheeks.

"Oh, God", Harry whispered softly as he reached to move her head slightly to see her eye. All she did was stare at him, and when he moved forward she winced and squealed slightly. Harry backed away, and just looked at her. After she looked at him, into his eyes she knew that she was safe with him, she ran to him and started crying in to his shoulder.

"It's ok, I'm here", he said while stroking her hair and back with his hands, gently. She was to weak to walk so he picked her up gently and sat her on the couch. When she was on the couch her first movement was to curl up in to a ball and cry in to her knees. Harry sat next to her and slightly stroked her back, she jumped slightly at his touch but quickly relaxed.

"Ginny,…" calmly taking a breath "what happened?" there was a silent pause between them for a moment. She look up at him and cried more but, falling in to his lap.

"Ginny." he said more sternly " What happened to you?" She sat up and look at him. Tears, still falling from her eyes, she cried, "Dra…" she stiffed and begin to cry in to her hands, and then muttered , "Draco." Harry just stared at her with a very angry look on his face.

"Where is he?", Harry said standing up and walking towards the door. "No," she cried running to him, grabbing his arm. "Please don't Harry, please don't hurt him.", she cried holding his arm in her hand. "Why not Ginny, why not, look at what he did to you and you don't want me to do anything to him?", he said taking her hands in his and looking into her eyes. "Because…because Harry….I…I love him." There was a pause between them for quiet sometime. Until Harry broke out in a furious rage. "LOVE HIM?!!! You love him even after what he did to you?", He was now pacing back and forth in front of her.

"Yes." she said calmly, tears still falling down her cheeks. Harry just looked are her and quietly muttered "He does it again, he better hope I'm not in town or I'm at least 500 feet away from him, so he has a little quick start in running."

"Ginny, I care about you, and you should know that but if he does it again I'm going to kill him, no exceptions." He walked over to her and embraced her tightly, not wanting to let her go. He took her into the kitchen, cleaned her face up, made her something to eat and tucked her in his bed. He insisted on her spending the night, and that he would sleep on the couch.

Ginny hated to bother Harry with this, but she had nowhere else to turn. He was the only one who would, listen to her. She laid in Harry's bed, think on what she would do, and began cry. She finally clamed down and fell asleep.

She woke to a soft knock at the door. "Ginny, I brought you some breakfast.", opening the door slightly, Harry, seeing if she is awake. She moved slightly and then sat up looking at him bewilderedly. "Harry?" she asked, quietly shocked to see him, placing her hand on her forehead and accidentally hitting her eye with the palm of it. "Ouch.", she said shockingly and then all of what happened last night came back into her mind, leaving a horrifying look on her face. Harry placed the tray down on the dresser and sat on the bed next to her rubbing her back. "You okay?" There was silence between them until Ginny answered him. "I'm sorry Harry, I don't mean to trouble you like this." "Hey, it's no trouble at all. Now how about something to eat." She nodded and took the trap from his hands.

After eating, she decided she would like to take a shower. As she was in the shower Harry was washing the dishes when he hear someone knocking at the door. "Coming.", When he got to the door Ron was standing there, in front of it. "Hey Ron, what are you doing here?", moving to let Ron in and motioned him to sit down. "I was just wondering if you want to go out today because, Hermione is out with my mum shopping, I you know I don't like shopping." "Well, I wish I could Ron, but I have to get some paper work done before the end of the day." "Awww, man, okay well I'll see you later Harry. Bye" he walked out the door waving to Harry. Harry turned around and saw Ginny standing there trying not to be seen. "Gin?" she stepped out and sat on the couch. "What's wrong?" "I'm sorry Harry but I got to go, and I'll see you soon, okay." She stood up and walked toward the door when he said something, "Hey, you be careful, and if you need anything I'll be here for you okay" She nodded and walked out. Harry sat down on the chair, and sighed while placing his hands over his face. "Just be careful, just be careful Gin" he whispered, and went to finish cleaning the dishes.
