⚡️Harry⚡️

"Harry! Have you seen Ron?"

"No Mrs Weasley," I call back, resting my head on the window overlooking the backyard of the burrow.

"Ginny-"

"No Mum!" Ginny yelled back from right beside me.

Ginny tucked her legs under mine and snuggled closer, resting her head on my shoulder. I haven't been able to face Grimmauld Place since the war. Luckily Mrs Weasley insisted I stay with them for as long as possible.

"What do you think Hogwarts is going to be like this year?" Ginny asked, absentmindedly tracing circles on my shirt.

"Quiet, hopefully." I chuckle.

Ginny arched an eyebrow. "With the chosen one returning? I doubt Hogwarts will ever be quiet with you around."

I laugh gently and kiss the top of her head. I run my fingers through her long, auburn hair, memorising the feel of it, content at this moment.

Which was ruined when Ron burst through the door to Ginny's room, completely out of breath.

"What the hell Ron?" Ginny yelled, chucking a throw pillow at his head. "Get out!"

"Hey!" Ron protested, swatting the barrage of pillows being thrown at him.

I grab Ginny's wrist before she could assault him again. "It's alright," I say soothingly.

She calms down but still glared at Ron.

"Did you need something?" I ask him.

"Erm, hide me from mum?" He scratched the back of his head sheepishly.

Ginny stood up and started to push him out the door, despite his protests. "No way in hell." 

"But-" 

"Goodbye!" She slammed the door in Ron's face before turning to face me again. I looked at her, mildly impressed.

"Wow." Is all I say, impressed.

"What?" Ginny asks, shrugging her shoulders.

"Nothing, just, wow."

Ginny walked back over and resumed her previous position curled up next to me.

"Now, what were we talking about? Before we were so rudely interrupted," She responded as if nothing had just happened.

"Hogwarts." I lean back against the warm glass, soaking in the warmth of the sun.

"Right, how are you feeling about going back?" Ginny asked as she intertwined her fingers with mine.

Honestly, there's a lot of things I'm feeling about going back. It's not going to be the same as before, no new students. Everybody is repeating. But not everyone is coming back.

"I don't know, it's going to be so different." I ended up saying. Pretty basic.

"I know," She murmured in agreement.

"Look, I'm just hoping for a nice quiet year. No monsters, no crazed wizards. Just you, me and my N.E.W.T.s." I continued, stroking her hair. It was soft, so soft.

She hummed in agreement. "Mmn, doesn't that sound nice." 

"You don't think that's gonna happen," I remarked, amused.

Ginny let out a small laugh. "With you around, I don't think quiet is going to be possible."

"Hye, at least I keep things interesting." I protested. Ginny climbed on top of my lap, cupping my jaw gently. 

"Well, you're right about that." She chuckled as she kissed me softly.

I held her close and soaked up the feeling of having her in my arms, knowing she was safe right here and now. Doesn't matter what happens in the future, I was content to stay in this moment.

Until Ron burst unannounced through the door again.
