| | | Love You, Too - Sa16+ Hi, My name is Sophie, or Soph if you like. This is my first ever Fan Fic and I'm so nervous to see what you think. I don't own anything in the Harry Potter world but a HUGE thanks to JK Rowling who does and does such a good job at brining the characters to life through all her fab Harry Potter books.
So here's whats happening. Sirius has just died and Harry is returning to the burrow before school starts back. Only difference is that I've made Harry and Ginny go out with each other in the last few weeks of school like just after Sirius death and that Dumbeldore has already told Harry of his task he will have set for him when he returns to Hogwarts, oh yeah, and Bill and Fleure's wedding is THIS summer instead of it being the following year. So this story follows Harry and Ginny over the next few years at Hogwarts and we follow the story as they rekindle their relationship so this is a Harry/Ginny Fan Fic p.s. Thanks to Kerri and Katie who introduced my to the site.
So here goes... Chapter 1
It was all set. Harry was to arrive at the burrow tonight.
I don't know how I feel about this. On one hand, it will be safe for him here untill we all leave to go back to Hogwarts where he will complete Dumbeldore's task but on the other it's difficult for me to be around him. After we broke up my whole world came crashing down. My life is black hole without him and as much as I want to see him, it will leave me heartbroken if something bad happens at this dangerous time in the wizarding community.
You see, after the fight at the mnistry, Dumbeldore told Harry that there was only one way to destroy Voldemort, that is destroying the Horouxes he has made. So Harry this year at Hogwarts is to attempt to defeat the Voldemort-again. So that is why Harry and I are no longer, because of Voldemort.
I remember how sick I felt when he left me, apparently in order to "protect" me. I don't need protecting! I need him. He is the only thing that could hurt me and he did. Hermionie tells me it out of love, yeah well, love sucks in my opinion. I'm sure he didn't intentionly mean to hurt me, but he did. It only makes it worse when he talks to me just like when we were friends. I can't stand the politness of the tone of his voice. I would just gaze into those emerald eyes whie listening to his tenor voice. It inflicted pain upon me but I felt close to him, because I knew he was right there with me. Mum was so worried at first. She told me it was for the best "Things like this happen for a reason, Dear," she would say "Your lucky Harry cares so much about you." I would turn away and cringe at the sound of his name. We haven't seen each other in so long, well about two weeks but thats a long time for us to be apart.
Harry arrived just after 7pm accompanied by order member Kingsley Shacklebolt. Mum pulled him into a tight hug saying how wonderful it was to see him. He shook my dads hand then looked at me. I looked back with an expresionless face showing no sign of emotion. I could feel tears welling up in my eyes. I looked down at the floor and I felt myself being pulled toward him in a weak but friendly hug. I inhaled deeply. I was home. Back in Harry's arms. The famous Harry smell incircled me but he let go too soon. Everyone watched carefully to see how I would react. I looked up avoiding everyones stairy eyes, shrugged, smiled weakly then continued to the sitting room.
"Dinner!" Mum shouted. I put my book down and made my way to the dinner table. Harry went for the same seat as me. I tryed to show no sign of emotion but failed when I breathed out heavily and shook my head. Why me? Why does he have to make this unbearably painful than it already is? I turned to go to the furthest away seat. "Gin," he pulled out the chair and gestured with his hand for me to sit. It saddend me when he called me Gin. Only called me that. "Thank you." I replied, in an emotionless tone and obediently I sat down and ate my dinner in silence. Chapter 2
Later that Night...
Kingsley left the Burrow as soon as Hary was settled in. Hermionie had arrived shortly after dinner. Her arrival seemed to lighten up a rather moody Ron. I don't understand why Harry and Hermionie put up with his sulky attitude
I was in the spare room with Hermionie. She was unpacking a few nessesities for her short visit. "So," she said "...How've you been, Ginny? You didn't put much in the letters"
"I won't lie to you, Hermionie, I've been better," I said in a flat tone and I shrugged as I stared up at the celling trying to hold back tears. I knew where the conversation was going.
"Oh Ginny," Hermionie stopped what she was doing and came over and sat down beside me. She wrapped her long boney arms around my shoulders and I broke into tears. "It's so hard to face him," I sobbed "I can't look at him and when I do, I feel like I've been punched in the stomach. It hurts to be in the same room as him. He said it's for the best. How is this better than when we were together. I don't know about him, but this is know good for me Hermionie. If only he knew. I mean,I..I..I"
"Ginny," she smoothed down my hair "you have no idea how much this hurts Harry. Your his everything. Your all he talks about, when Rons not there obviously, but this is why he's doing this, for you. He has to defeat Voldemort and this is the only way he can. It will be tough for both of you, but once this is over you both can get on with your lives, without Voldemorts annual interuptions. Harry loves you Ginny. Trust me."
************************************************** *
Hermionie and I contiued talking and laughing. I was winding her up about how Ron liked her and we both burst out laughing.We were interupted with a knock on my room door. We both coposed ourselves before I opened it.
It was Ron. We both started laughing again. He looked at us with a puzzled expression. "Um... Mum sent me up. She's made tea and said you've to come down for some before bed." He bounded back down the staris
"Put on a brave face for Harry." Hermionie said with a smile. I nodded in agreement before pulling a jumper on over my pyjama top and slipping on my slippers before heading downstairs. Chapter 3- Part 1
I woke with the sun glaring through the blinds. I rolled over onto my side. My alarm clock blinked 7:30am. I gazed around my bedroom. "Good morning Ginny." Hermionie said. "Morning" I replied only half awake . I sat up and looked round the room "Are you comming down to help?" Hermionie was already up and dressed. She sat at my dressing table brushing her hair.
"With..." I asked dazed and confused
"It's Harry's birthday and your mums having a special birthday brunch. Plus there's last minuet plans for Bill and Fleur's Wedding. Fleur's Parents and sister arrive tomorrow." Yuck. Can't say I think much of Gabrielle. She should know that Harry will never be her's and that he only has eye's for me.
"Oh yeah. Do me a favour. There's a gift bag in my cupboard. It's for Harry. Can you take it down to the kitchen with you. I'll be down in five" Hermionie left the room and I climbed out of bed, stretched and put on a navey top, tights and navey and white skirt. I walked out of my room and across the hall to the bathroom. I tied my hair back and washed my face with hot water. Then I brushed my teeth and rinsed with cool minty mouthwash. I now felt quite awake. I joined my mum, dad and Hermionie in the kitchen. Mum, once again had outdone herself. She must have made enough to feed fifty, but then again we've got Ron to feed!
Harry came sleepily down stairs followed by Ron. "Happy Birthday Harry!" Hermionie handed him a small bag. "It's for when we leave," she told him as he unwraped it. "I find that writing all my thought and feelings down in a diary helps plus that is possible the most interesting book I've ever read"
"Thank you Hermionie. I love it" The diary was beautiful. It had a leather cover and the book was about magical creatures. It looked very interesting. I'm sure Harry will enjoy reading it.
"Happy Birthday Mate." Ron said while handing him a rather small peculiar box. It was well wrapped in shiny red paper with a golden bow, which made me think who wrapped it because it obviously wasn't Ron. Harry opened it carefully. "I couldn't think what to get you so it's the broom polish PLUS and I O U." but that was just an act. I knew fine well what Ron had got Harry. A book called 'Fail Safe Ways to Charm Witches.' and I only knew that because I was with himwhen he bought it. He was obviously embarrased about what Mum and Hermionie would think of him getting him a gift like that.
"Thanks Ron. You shouldn't have" Harry said laughing.
"No bother ,Mate" I just glared at Ron and Herionie rolled her eyes. I was about to had Harry his birthday gift when Ron but in and said "Aw, Mum what's for breakfast? I'm famished!"
"Yeah, cauz you look starved, Ron!" I glared at him. He gets in the way of everything!
"Geez, Ginny. What's with the attitude? What's the problem?"
"Your face, Ron. You git!" I stormed out the door and into the garden. This was too much. He is so insensitive sometimes!
"Ronald!" Hermioie tutted
"What did I do. It's not my fault she's in a bloody bad mood! Time of the month or what!" I heard him mutter.
"RONALD!" I heard her scream "Ginny's right. You are an insensitive git!"

Hey Sophie!
I loved this, I'm glad Katie is nice and that Ginny likes her. She sounds perfect for Charlie!  That dress is gorgeous and I love sunflowers!
Its nice that there is a wedding after the death of Dumbledore, lightens the mood I guess. When I first started reading this and I figured out that Bill and Fleur had been married they year before I was disappointed that nothing could lighten the mood but guess what??!! You did it!
I really liked this, it was nice to read your stuff again. I know where Ginny is coming from - Never seeing past exams

I'm all for the whole overprotective brother thing, but not the insulting of said little sister. Honestly, I've always thought Ginny was more mature than Ron, especially when it came to the opposite sex... Quote:
I loved how relaxed and carefree she was.
I've always thought that Charlie needed someone more laid back and carefree. She sounds like a fantastic candidate
Great post, Sophie! Can't wait for me!

Hey Sophie! So sorry that I fell behind on commenting. Your latest chapter is great as usual. I'm so glad you've done all your exams. And I've also got mine over with as well!  Let's both celebrate. Quote:
“Well stick in and you can do whatever you want Ginny!” I rolled my eyes. This seems to be all adults enjoy telling me. I swear, do they just hate their lives that much? If it’s not Mum and Dad, its professors at school and now Katie… I always considered her a bit cool and someone who didn’t worry, but people better stop talking about the future. I’d like to live in the moment thank you very much!
I like the fact that you keep her in character. I always considered Ginny as a strong willed and somewhat a stubborn character that is more practical than say Hermione. I like her hard fist personality.
Take you time Sophie. I'd always be here to gladly read your wonderful work. Keep it up! PAMS! |

It's sad to see Ron and Harry at odds with each other. They are going through so much, and they know there will be more hardships. I do think it sweet of Ron to think of Ginny. He knows the possibility of something happening to Harry, and doesn't want her hurt.
I try to see Ron as the big brother. But I don't have one so its difficult to try and get in that frame of mind but I imagine he would be a little overprotective, especially because she is at a vulnarable age. Quote:
Great work Sophie. I'll be watching for your next. Thanks Connie! Quote:

pams xLillyx Hey lilly. It ok. I understand. I read and commented on a Lover Lie. I caught up! 
Thanks Just a wee note...
I like to thank everyone who nominated me for the Golden Goblins. I never expected to get nominations or anything, so it was a wonderful surprise. So thank you very much and well done to the rest of you who got nominations- you certainly deserve them and can count on my vote. So well done ladies
Post 49 “Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, is not pompous, it is not inflated, it is not rude, it does not seek its own interests, it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury,it does not rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never fails.” I went to sit back in my seat beside the small gathering of friends and family.
Katie and Charlie were called to stand in front of us to say their vows.
The wedding was an evening affair. So as they proclaimed their love to each other the bright golden sun cast lovely pink shades across the summer sky.
And who would have guessed that the very next day I would be off to a distant place, over the warm tropical oceans and icy mountains. That’s right- Rome!
I have never been quite so fascinated in my entire life before taking off on an aeroplane. Harry laughed and told me I was getting as bad as my dad being so engrossed by Muggle contraptions. If I hadn’t known any better, I would have said flying on an aeroplane was magic.
We stayed in the most beautiful villa, nestled up in the hills and looking out onto the lake. I never knew such a place existed. I fell in love with it.
On the last night, we decided to head into Rome in the evening to see the nightlife.
We booked a table at a fancy recommended restaurant and we decided to dress in our finest for the final night. Harry was looking handsome in a blue striped shirt and cream chinos and I wore a floaty shirt and plain white top
Now it was warm, of course it was warm but Harry was sweating buckets. “Harry, are you sure you’re ok.” I reached across the table and touched his clammy hand.
“ That’s three times you’ve asked me. I promise you I’m fine.” He assured me as he mopped his brow.
“ Drink some water.” I told him and pushed the ice cold glass toward him. I watched the condensation run down the side as he ignored my offering. “Harry!” “Sorry,” he said snapping out of his daydream and gulping from the glass.
We went dancing afterwards at a small lively bar. We were the last ones to leave after the owner had to ask us kindly at 1.30 in the morning. We strolled hand in hand to the Trevi fountain but there was still something about Harry that didn’t seem quite right. He seemed on edge and uptight. I sat on the steps that looked onto the fountain. It was empty and completely different from the busy daytime street. Now deserted, Harry and I were the only people in the place. I went into my purse and pulled out three coins. I closed my eyes and tossed the first one into the fountain. “ I wish that I get that scholarship for the Holyhead Harpies.”
I tossed the second and listened for the splash “I wish that one day, Harry and I will get married.”
And the final coin, well traditionally your third wish is always “I wish that I will return to Rome!”
I opened my eyes. Harry was right in front of me. “Ginny,” He held my hands in his trembling own, “I’ve been waiting all night for this.” And then he got down on one knee.

Hey Sophie. Bravo! Bravo! I loved your chapter. I love how you wrote this. Harry seems to be there, but only just. I think he had other things on his mind. Quote:
“Ginny,” He held my hands in his trembling own, “I’ve been waiting all night for this.” And then he got down on one knee.
I got the goosebumps when I read this.
I love how light and unburdened your writing is. You take us through the events on a whirlwind leaving us to imagine us being Ginny and what she is experiencing. I could see everything in my mind, not like I was watching TV, but like I was there. Great chapter Sophia. I'll be watching for your next.

OMG!!! SOPHIE! Sorry for yelling!  I couldn't control myself. This was bloody fantastic! This should be my favourite chapter. It was so well described, made for a wonderful and easy read, easy to visualize the beautiful scenery, and most importantly, it was so sweet!  I loved the last sentence. It took my breath away! *Dances around* I would can imagine how nervous Harry must have been. I loved it!
I would definitely love to read more. And last thing, you deserve your nomination. You can also count on my vote.  <3
