Dean was never the sort of person to hold grudges. Years ago, back in school he and Ginny had dated and it seemed to him that in the blink of an eye after they broke up, she was with Harry. He could have been more hurt about that than he had been, but he was fond of them both and knew where their hearts - as well as his own - lay. So he remained close to them and over the years watched their on-again off-again relationship. Honestly he just wished they'd get it together and settle down. Now of course, they wouldn't get that chance, and the thought of that was, well, depressing. Dean was a bit of a romantic at heart, and that this had turned out this way were terrible.

He told Seamus and Justin where he was going and when he'd be back and headed over to the Burrow. He hadn't been there very often, but he knew the location well enough. Steeling himself for what would probably be a difficult conversation, he announced his presence so she knew he was there. He refused to show or feel pity, but he was damned prepared to be as supportive as he could be.

	"Oh?" The smallest of smiles flitted across her face at the thought of Seamus being banned from the kitchen on the grounds of being a pyromaniac. "Well, tell him I'm doing... tell him..." No sense in lying to any of them. "Tell him I'm me. Just me." She shrugged. "I'll take of one those sandwiches if you're offering. There might even be crisps down there."

"I will," Dean replied, standing. "Give me a minute, yeah? I'll be right back." Dean headed back down again, and took a few minutes to collect a sandwiches and a plate of crisps. Of course, he was obliged to chat with whatever Weasleys were hanging about and so he took a bit longer to return than he wanted.

"Your mum wanted to send up a whole turkey, I expect, and an entire sack of potatoes. I managed to talk her down to just the one sandwich and crisps." Dean offered her a smile and set the plate down in front of her.

"Thanks."

She stared at the food for a minute, realized she had absolutely no appetite, and honestly, when it came down to it, why was she attempting to be up and about at all?

Bugger that. The world could wait.

"Hey, Dean?" She looked up at him. "Thanks for coming. Really, I do appreciate it. And now?" She glanced at her pillow, then back at him. "I really think I need to make the world go away for a while. Just for a while, okay?"

Without waiting for a reply, she stretched out on her bed. "I'll be back to myself eventually, but I think I've called the right to hide for the moment."

Dean recognised a plea to be alone when he saw one and he wasn't about to deny Ginny's wishes. He stood, leaving over to rest a gentle hand on her arm. "I understand. If you need me though, you know where to find me. I'll be keeping an eye on you," he added.

She had already stretched out, dismissing him, and she he stood to go. "Get some rest, if you can," he added, and then headed out. He still had lunch to finish cooking.
