for better or for worse (harry)

[Deleted]

She had been living with her mother for the past six months ever since she lost her memory. For someone who was married, that must have been a horrible time for Harry. In that beautiful, empty house all alone... Ginny felt terrible about it. But she wasn't quite ready to go back yet.

Still, she felt like it was time to do something drastic. Maybe ask if she could move back in? She wasn't sure what she was going to do, she just knew that she wanted to do something for him. For them. She saw the way he looked at her, of course. It was different than when they were teenagers. He had been married to her for years, his love was deeper. She wanted to return that. She wanted to show him that she loved him too. She wanted to be with him more than anything.

When she showed up at the door, unannounced, she hesitated before knocking. What on Earth was she going to say?

She knocked.

A knock sounded at the door. Harry started awake from his place on the couch. He was still in his work robes, his wand had fallen to the floor. He had come home from work last night and collapsed on the couch. He no longer had any reason to sleep in his bedroom, and he didn't like the big bed by himself. So every night he chose the couch. Last night... he had collapsed faster than normal.

Another knock. The streetlights were still on outside, and a quick glance at the clock on the mantle told him it was 4:30 in the morning. Harry leaned over to grab his wand and fell off the couch in the blur of sleepiness. He grunted then pushed himself up with the couch and went over to the door. He had his wand ready as he pushed the drapes back so he could see who was at the door.

All of the tension evaporated from his body. He lowered his wand and opened the door to Ginny.

"Ginny." he exclaimed, trying to keep the sleep from showing in his voice. "What... what are you doing here?" he tried to not sound angry, he wasn't. He couldn't have been happier to see her, but it was 4:30 in the morning.

Ginny wasn't surprised that his wand was drawn. She would have the same thing at this time of the morning. When he asked her what she was doing here, she didn't even hesitate. Suddenly her mouth opened and words came out that she didn't have any control over. She knew what she was supposed to do, suddenly, in that moment it was all clear. "I was thinking I'd like to remember our wedding. It's pretty unfair that you have that memory and I don't. So, let's get married. Let's renew our vows, whatever. I want to be with you here. I want to understand the love you have for me as husband and wife. I love you, I love you." Her eyes started to get misty and reached both hands out, taking his hands and pulling them close to her. "Please do this with me. I want to be with you, Harry Potter. I love you," she had said that about one hundred times, she knew, but it didn't matter. It was so true. It was the most important thing to her.

She raised her eyebrows at him, smiling.

The love he had for her. Could she even understand it? It didn't matter. He wanted her to try, he wanted to show her.
She took his hands in hers, and pulled him closer to her. He let his hands slide over her waist and pulled her into him. He looked into her eyes for just a moment, a smile growing on his face. It turned into beaming. Then he leaned down and kissed her.

Maybe he should have said something. But he couldn't. He used his actions to show her how much he agreed with her words, how much he loved her.

After a moment, he did find words.

"I love you, Ginny. I love you." He kissed her cheek, then her other cheek. "I think that is a fabulous idea. Let's get married again"

[Deleted]

The kiss was a good enough answer for her, really. She just wanted him to pull her into the house with her and she just wanted to keep kissing him. She slid her hands up his arms in order to wrap her arms around his neck, molding her body against his as they held each other close. Finally he did pull his lips from hers though. Her eyes stayed closed as he spoke, as he kissed her cheeks. She chuckled as he did so, then kissed him once more before pulling back to look into his eyes. "So... I actually am going to work today in like two hours and you probably are too so... are you going to let me in?" she glanced over his shoulder to the inside of the house behind him. It actually looked more welcoming then the last few times. It actually looked... homey.

Harry took a step back into his house, then rocked forward and planted a kiss on Ginny's perfect lips. Then he pulled her into the house, closing the door after them.

He pulled her into the kitchen, kissed her once more before pulling a bowl out of the cupboard.

"Pretty sure a morning like this deserves some pancakes. Maybe some eggs and bacon?" He said though his grin. He didn't even want to try and take the grin off of his face.

He held the bowl in his hands turning his grin to her. Suddenly, he felt a tremor roll down his arms and into his hands, causing him to drop the metal bowl onto the ground. The clang scared him, but not as much as the spasms. He broke out into a sweat and his vision swam.

It was over as quickly as it started. He felt just fine. Looking up at Ginny, he smiled again.

"That was... weird."

[Deleted]

All this kissing was making her feel dizzy, but in a good way. "Breakfast sounds amazing. I don't think I've eaten anything for two days," she chuckled, but the chuckling stopped rapidly when the bowl clanged to the ground. "Harry?" she rushed forward, clasping his elbows out of worry that he was going to pass out. Even more suddenly, he looked up at her and smiled again, but her eyes were still furrowing with worry. "No, that wasn't weird. That was scary."

She shook her head, "you need to sit down."

Ginny was next to him in an instant. Some instincts never die. Anytime he had been hurt and came home... this was exactly how she acted, babying him even though the healers had already done their work.

Today, he let her lead him to a chair at the table and he sat down. He felt fine, but was a little shaken about how that had come on so suddenly. Nothing like this had ever happened to him before. It was probably just stress.

"I'm fine, love. Promise." He objected.

[Deleted]

"Don't make stupid promises," she said, turning away form him in order to go to the sink and fill a glass of water to him. Bringing it back to him, she handed it to him and then knelt on the ground in front of him. "I need you to explain to me what just happened. I don't want you just brushing something like this off. Every little thing could be something bad. Seriously, you know that just as much as anyone else. If we assess and decide it's harmless then I'll drop it. But we have to try. Got it, Mr?" she narrowed her eyes at him.

She had a point. Harry sighed, taking the cup from her and taking a drink.

"Alright, fine you win." He said as he smiled. He couldn't help it. This was the woman he loved and she had been absent from his life for much too long. He took her hand resting them on his knee.

"It was sudden, like a ripple of weakness and then it was gone." confidence was in his voice. This was nothing, he was sure this sort of thing happened to other people all the time. Sure it had never happened to him, but that didn't really matter. He had more important things on his mind. "See, I told you, nothing. If we don't eat soon then you won't get to work on time and neither will I."

[Deleted]

She knew she would win, she often did. She leaned forward toward him as he started to explain, letting him take her hand to rest it on his knee. Ripple of weakness? That didn't sound good. Still, he claimed that it came and left like nothing. But weren't those the most dangerous kind of attacks? The sudden ones? She pursed her lips as he said it was nothing and leaned forward again to plant a kiss on his cheek. "Fine, we'll give it a green light this time. But if it happens again we're looking into this," she demanded.

She pulled back and stood, "so! Where's the frying pan!?" she asked excitedly. If she was going to be moving back in here soon she needed to start remembering where the crap all this stuff was.

@crystal7 (don't forget the ring XD)

[Deleted]

Frying pan, right they would need to for breakfast. Harry stood up, only a little cautious, and opened the cupboard where the pans were. It was strange to have Ginny not know where things were. Normally he was the one to ask her where things went.

He pulled out some ingredients from the fridge and various cupboard, brushing around his wife as he went. His thoughts were all happy. He and Ginny were getting back together. Last year he never would have thought that his life would have gone this way. He was positive that it would not be a path he would have picked. But it seemed to be going so much better than last month.

Memories of when she first lost her memory flooded his mind, and sparked something.

"Oh! Hold on, I'll be right back." He told Ginny and then dashed from the kitchen and into his bedroom. On Ginny's dresser, next to their wedding picture was a ring box with her wedding ring in it. She never wore it when she went out on raids or assignments for the Order. So the night she lost her memories she had left it here. Harry had brought it with him to the hospital... but she hadn't remembered him. Now was the perfect time to give it back to her.

Walking back into the kitchen he took her hand, pulling her away from the counter. One hand on hers the other pulling her waist closer to him. He thought about kneeling down, but now that she was in his arms again he didn't want to be that far away from her.

"I thought you might want this." He opened his hand, with the ring in his palm. "It is yours after all."

[Deleted]

Ginny assisted Harry and was blushing red from embarrassment of not knowing where anything was in the kitchen. Suddenly, he said he’d be right back and ran off. Ginny took that time to take a few deep breaths.

Okay, so- she had come back here, she had basically proposed to him, and she was going to do this. She was an adult. She was an adult. She could be an adult. All she needed to do was focus on how much she loved Harry and remember that when things got weird. This was fine. This was fine.

When he returned, she spun to face him with a smile on her face. He took her hand and pulled her close. Then she looked down at his hand as he opened it and audibly gasped.

”Holy hippogriff! That is gorgeous. Did you pick that out? Holy Hannah, that’s awesome,” she pointed at the ring in his hand and giggled a little before suddenly closing her mouth and straightening up.

”Uh, I mean. Why thank you good sir I would love my ring back,” she held out her hand trying to stifle her silly smile.

The reaction of Ginny seeing her ring was way better this time than last time. He suspected that she had snuck a peek at it when he hadn't known about it he first time. Well, there were perks to getting to do things a second time.

"As a matter of fact, I did pick it out. Well, Hermione helped, but only with getting your ring size. I designed the rest." He tried not to puff his chest out too much, but he was very proud of that ring. He had worked for weeks to get it just right.

He took her hand in his and slid the ring onto her finger. That ring was familiar to him, so were her eyes. But her eyes were what captivated him, his gaze was drawn by them, and he didn't mind one bit.

"There, Mrs. Potter. Now it is official. Again."

[Deleted]

She couldn't help but smirk as he went on to explain how he designed it. She caught her breath as he took her hand, sliding the ring onto her finger. She still felt strange, looking down at her hands and not seeing the young skin that was there only recently in her eyes. Still, she pushed those thoughts aside as he went on to say that it was official again. "Mrs. Potter. Hmm. I'm starting to like the sound of that," she lifted onto her toes to kiss him lightly on the cheek.

"I guess we better tell those kids of ours, huh?" her stomach flipped in excitement at the idea of telling her family and friends. Harry had already had that excitement before but... this was all new to her.
