Summary:After the Golden Trio abandons Ginny to search for the Horcruxes Ginny goes to an unlikely ally for answers and heals her heart along the way.

SS/GW pairing.

Ginny awoke with a start the morning after Bill and Fluer's wedding. It was dawn. Ginny looked at the bed next to her to find it empty.

"Where is Hermione?" Ginny thought outload to herself. She heard noises downstairs and decided to investigate. As she decended the stairs the voices grew louder.

"I don't care what I said last night. There is no way I am going to allow Ginny to come with us. I love her too much to put her in that danger. We will leave now so we will be gone when she gets up." Harry said.

"Harry, she will never forgive us. She is a strong witch and a capable fighter. Surely having her with us along the way is better than a broken heart." Hermione replied.

"I'm with Harry, we leave now." Said Ron. Hermione nodded.

With that the Trio left the Burrow. Ginny followed close behind. "You are not leaving me here you bastards. I am going to fight besided you whether you like it or not." Ginny shouted.

Harry turned around. "Pertificus Totalis" He replied. Ginny went stiff as her heart broke. "I am sorry Gin. You will understand someday. When I win this war we will be together. We'll get married and start a real family. For that to happen I need you safe. I love you. Goodbye."

"Harry you just can't leave her here." Hermione said.

"She will be fine. Mrs. Weasely will find her in a few hours. Let's go." Harry replied.

Three hours later… Mrs. Weasely found Ginny and performed the counterspell. She lead Ginny to the kitchen and gave her hot cocco as Ginny recounted the morning's events.

"I'm sorry Ginny. You are better off here. I can't take losing you too." Said Mrs. Weasely.

Ginny's voice became hard and emotionless as she replied, "I will never forgive Harry, Ron, or Hermione. If I ever see them again they will wish Voldermort killed them." Mrs. Weasely shuttered. "Stop mum, say it with me Voldermort or do you prefer Tom. There is nothing to fear; he is nothing. If he wants to kill me then he should just get it over with because I am coming after him anyway I can." Ginny rose from the table and climbed the stairs leaving her mother at the kitchen table shouting her name.

Later that night, when all in the house was sleeping, Ginny rose from her bed. She had packed a bag that day one she had a plan. She shrunk the bag, silently thanking Merlin that the ban on underaged magic was lifted in loo of the war. She set off to the one person she knew would understand or at least wouldn't turn her away. When Mrs. Weasely went to wake Ginny up in the morning she found her gone. "Godspeed child" she muttered as she closed the door behind her.

Around 2 am Ginny found herself in front of a small cottage in a muggle town called Spinner's End; she had unshrunk her bag when outside the town. She knew the auror's were unable tofind him here but they were looking for magic and she knew that he knew better than to leave a magical trace when attempting to hid out. She silently prayed that the town was all muggle. She prayed that she could find him hear as he promised all those years ago.

She knocked on the door. It opened to find Ginny with a dagger pressed to her throat. On the other side of the door was Serverus Snape. His face was expressionless. "Who are you?" he said with an equally expressionless voice, "Full name."

She stared at him with masked eyes. "Ginerva Molly Weasely."

"Who opened the Chamber of Secrets?" Serverus asked with searching eyes.

"I did." She replied.

Snape lowered his dagger. In a flash, Ginny raised one of her own. "Who are you?" she asked. "Full name." She demanded with a smirk.

"Severus Aries Snape." Severus replied.

"Why did you kill Dumbledore?" She asked.

"Because he asked me too." Serverus said.

Ginny lowered her dagger. "It is good to see you again Serverus."

"As it is you Gin. Come inside."

Serverus lead Ginny through the house and up the stairs to the master bedroom. "How long will you be staying this time Gin?" He asked as he wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Same as always, until you get sick of me or until school starts." Ginny replied.

"I will never get sick of you Gin, never." Serverus said. He followed up the statement with a kiss. Then he took her bag and brought it to the bureau. He turned around and embraced her once more. "Get ready for bed Angel. We can work everthing else out in the morning."

As Ginny climbed into the black silk sheets. Serverus turned to look at her. Her long wavy red hair cascaded down her back. The white nightgown left nothing to the imagination. He held her close and kissed her soundly. They drifted off to a blissful sleep.
