Chapter 6




“How'reyou holding up?” Hermione asked Harry gently.




Harry spent all of his free time at Ginny's bedside. After classes and during his free period, he did his homework in the Hospital Wing. At meal times, Harry went down to the Great Hall and brought back his meal so he could stay with Ginny. He even slept there, hidden beneath his Invisibility Cloak so Madam Pomfrey wouldn't discover him. Currently Harry sat holding her hand, hoping she would wake soon. Ginny had lost a lot of blood and Madam Pomfrey had explained to Harry when she was brought in that she was simply too weak to remain conscious. Until she awoke, the nurse would not know what had happened. Harry claimed he didn't know, which wasn't a complete and total lie.




“Madam Pomfrey says she's getting stronger. She should wake up soon,” Harry said in response to Hermione's question. As soon as Ginny woke up, he would be fine.




“Ginny's a fighter, that much is sure.” Ron managed a small smile.




“You should go.” Harry looked up suddenly. “I know you have homework. You don't want to get behind, Hermione.”




Hermione looked at Harry in surprise, but nodded. “Come on, Ron.” She took Ron by the hand and drug him out the hospital wing. For once, he didn't seem at all concerned with the contact, but looked back at his sister before he left.




Harry opened his rucksack once they were gone and started on his own school work. He was halfway through his Defence essay, when he heard a soft moan come from the bed. Harry looked up.




“Ginny!” Harry exclaimed. He was instantly by her side, holding her hand.




“Harry?” Ginny murmured. The sound of her voice made Harry's heart leap with joy. In the last few hours, Ginny had regained some of her colour. Her face was still pale, but a little pink had returned to her cheeks. Ginny's hair was spread out on the pillow, like a red and gold halo.




“Oh, Gin. You had me so worried.” Harry raised her hand to his lips. “What happened?”




“I . . . I saw you in the Owlery . . . with Cho.” The memory came back to Ginny and she found it just as painful as before. “I was so . . . so upset. I didn't mean for it to happen though, Harry. I didn't mean to . . . to black out.”




“I know you didn't, Gin. It was an accident, but you must know that I didn't want anything to happen with Cho. She attacked me!”




“I know that now. Iwas just being stupid.” Tears began to form in Ginny's eyes.




“Please, don't cry. It's all right now. You're fine now. I love you. I was so worried.” Harry wiped a tear from her cheek.




“I was so confused, Harry. I never should have broken up with you. I was just scared. Iwas so dependent on you, and . . . and. . . .” Ginny trailed off, but Harry understood.




“I know. I wish you had said something, though.” Harry felt hot tears behind his own eyes.




“I'm so sorry.” Ginny sobbed.




“Don't be. Iunderstand. I still love you. I know you don't want to be with me, but I will always love you.” Harry squeezed her hand.




Ginny looked at him in surprise. “What makes you think I don't want you? You said you understood. I was just scared. That doesn't mean I don't want to be with you!”




Harry beamed at this.“Really? So . . . you'll be my girlfriend again?”




“Of course.” Ginny managed a weak smile.




Harry kissed her swiftly, pulling back to look at her. “I need to go get Madam Pomfrey, tell her you're awake. I . . . I haven't told her anything.”




“Oh, Merlin. I hadn't thought of that. What will I say?” Ginny buried her head in her hands.




“You'll think of something,” Harry assured her. “I'll go get her now.” Harry kissed Ginny again and disappeared into Madam Pomfrey's office.




In a matter of seconds, Madam Pomfrey was at her side. She quickly checked Ginny over before pulling up a chair and asking, “What happened, Miss Weasley?”




“I . . . I dropped my mirror while applying some cosmetic charms. I . . . I went to pick up the glass and got cut. It was an accident.” Ginny tried to sound convincing.




Madam Pomfrey seemed to buy this and checked Ginny over once more. “You'll need to stay here for another day, but then you should be able to go back to your studies.”




“Really? Thank you, Madam Pomfrey. That's great.” Ginny smiled.




Madam Pomfrey offered the girl a rare smile. “You're very welcome. I'll go get you some food from the kitchens. You need to keep your strength up. Even with the blood replenishment potion, you lost a lot of blood.” The nurse left.




“That was easy.” Ginny relaxed back into the bed. “I can't believe I can leave so soon.”




Harry sat down beside her and sighed. “She seemed to believe you.”




Ginny frowned. “Harry, I swear it was an accident. You believe me, don't you?”




“I believe you didn't mean for it to go that far. But Ginny, you need help. I don't know what to do.” Harry took her hand.




“I just need you. I'll get better. All I need is you.” Ginny sat up and kissed him. “Now get back to your homework, Mr. Potter. You don't want to get behind just because of me, do you?”




Harry smiled at her. “Yes, Mum.”




Ginny smacked his arm lightly but giggled. “Do I need to owl my mum?”




“No. Just get better.” Harry kissed her lips gently before turning back to his paper.




H/G




“It feels so good to be out of there!” Ginny skipped down the hall with excitement.




Harry ran to keep up with her. “Yeah, and now you have a lot of work to catch up on. You missed three days of classes.”




“I'll catch up. Right now, I want to get caught up with you.” Ginny smiled mischievously as she pulled him into the nearest broom closet.




“Ginny-” Harry was cut off by Ginny's lips. She pushed him against the wall and kissed him deeply. Harry wrapped his arms around Ginny, moaning against her mouth. She took that moment to slip her tongue into his mouth. Ginny groaned at the taste of him, kissing Harry with more passion. Her hands were in his hair, his roaming up and down her back. Ginny slid her hands down and felt Harry's skin under his shirt. She moaned, gripping him tightly to her. After a while, Harry pulled back, trying to catch his breath.




“God, I missed you.” Harry kissed her again. Ginny willingly succumbed to his lips. Neither of them noticed that Harry's shirt was gone. When they finally parted, Ginny smiled sheepishly at him, handing him the missing garment.




“We should get back before Ron comes looking for us,” Ginny explained. “Merlin knows what he would do if he found us in this state.”




Harry swallowed hard at this statement. He quickly slipped his shirt over his head, though not before Ginny got a chance to admire his torso. Harry smirked at her before taking her hand and helping her out of the cupboard.




H/G




“Ginny!”Hermione flew across the room to embrace her friend. “I'm so glad you're alright!”




“Feeling better, sis?What happened?” Ron gave his sister a quick hug.




With a glance at Harry, Ginny quickly spilled out the same story she had told Madam Pomfrey. Yet again, this story was not questioned. Hermione, being strictly businesslike, hurried off to her dormitory to fetch Ginny's assignments. She had gone to Ginny's professors to collect them while she was still in the Hospital Wing.




The foursome spent the rest of the night in the common room, doing school work. Finally, around midnight, Hermione said she was tired and left to go to bed. Ron soon followed suit, disappearing into his own dorm. Once they were gone, Ginny turned to her boyfriend. “Harry?”




Harry looked up from his star chart. “Yeah, Gin?”




“Do you think I could stay with you tonight? I don't want to be alone.” Ginny looked at him shyly.




“Of course.” Harry smiled. “Do you want to go now?”




Ginny nodded. Harry put his belongings in his rucksack before swinging it over his shoulder. She packed up her thing and followed Harry to his dormitory. Once inside, Harry fished out a fresh pair of boxers and a shirt for Ginny to wear from his trunk. He directed Ginny to the washroom, so she could get changed in private. Harry quickly put on the boxers before putting his rucksack on the floor beside his trunk. He decided to hide Ginny's things in his trunk, so Ron wouldn't be suspicious. When Ginny returned, Harry's tongue stuck in his throat.




Ginny smiled shyly at him. She had let her hair out of its plait. Harry's Chudley Cannons shirt was big on Ginny, but it smelled like him which pleased her. The orange clashed with her fiery hair, but Harry still thought she was beautiful.




Harry recovered himself quickly. He slipped under the covers and motioned for Ginny to join him. She grinned at Harry before sliding into the four poster bed beside him. He wrapped his arms around Ginny, kissing her chastely. She turned on her side to face him better. Ginny kissed him passionately, her hands tangling in Harry's hair. Harry cupped her face, deepening the kiss. As their tongues mated, his hands explored Ginny's body. His shirt quickly fell to the floor, under the bed. She ran her hands up Harry's chest, moaning at the feel of his skin. Looking up for Ginny's permission, Harry grasped the bottom of the T-shirt. When she nodded at him, he pulled it up over her head, letting it join his shirt on the floor. Ginny shivered as the cool air caressed her bare skin. She flushed as Harry's eyes raked over her. He bent down to kiss her collar bone.




“You're gorgeous, Gin.” Harry came back up to meet her lips. His hands gripped Ginny's sides tightly, drawing her closer to him. She moaned as Harry's hands slid upwards. When he reached Ginny's bra, he cupped her breasts through the soft material. Her bra was white and lacy. Ginny's breasts peaked out from the top of the cups. Harry groaned as he dipped his head down to kiss the exposed skin, before moving his mouth over her through her brassiere.




“Harry,” Ginny moaned, “please.” Harry quickly obliged her plea. He flipped the snap of her front clasp open. Ginny's breasts spilled out of the bra and into Harry's hands. He groaned, lowering his head to kiss every bit of her he could. Harry teased Ginny with his teeth. He kissed his way back up to her lips, thrusting his tongue into her mouth. After a while, Harry pulled back from Ginny, gasping for breath.




“We need to stop. We're going too fast.” Harry pulled the sheets up to cover them, laying down beside her.




“Do we have to?” Ginny asked, trying to catch her breath.




Harry chuckled. “Yes. We're not ready for this, Ginny. It's all just too fast.”




Ginny flipped them over so she was on top of him. Harry groaned at the feel of her bare breasts pressed up against his chest. “I don't want to stop. I've waited for this for so long, Harry. Don't you want me?”




Ginny rubbed her hips against Harry's suggestively. Harry groaned, lifting her off of him.




“Ginny, please stop.” Harry attempted to make his voice firm, not an easy feat with ahalf-naked girl in his bed.




Leaning her head on her hand, Ginny sighed. “Harry, I want to do this. I want us to make love. I want to feel something, other than this hatred I have in my nightmares. We love each other, and I want to feel that. Please.”




“Are you sure, Ginny? I don't want to push you into doing something you're not ready for,” Harry asked her, his left hand stroking her ribcage with a feather light touch.




Ginny shivered at his touch. “I've been ready, Harry. Please, make love to me.”




Harry kissed her deeply, giving himself into Ginny's pleads. They reached their climax together and when they finally relaxed, Harry rolled off of her. He kissed Ginny's forehead, her nose, each of her cheeks and finally her lips.




“That was amazing.” Harry breathed heavily.




Ginny nodded in agreement.“I love you so much.”




Harry pulled the covers up over them, wrapping his arms around her. Ginny rested her head on his chest. Harry kissed the top of her head before sighing happily. “I love you too. Always. Forever and always.”




After several minutes of silence, Harry asked the question he was dreading the answer to.“Ginny . . . did I . . . did I hurt you?”




Ginny didn't answer immediately. Harry waited nervously, not sure he wanted to hear the answer. Finally, Ginny spoke, “Yes.” Harry's face fell but he allowed her to continue. “But not necessarily in a bad way. I felt . . . I felt complete. At first it was like I was being torn apart, but after the pain subsided . . . well, I've never felt anything more wonderful. I've never felt so whole before. It's almost as though a part of me has been missing, and that part was you.”




Harry smiled before he lifted her chin up and placed a soft kiss on her lips. Ginny responded immediately. She deepened the kiss, her tongue dancing with his. When Harry finally pulled back, Ginny sighed happily before resting her head on his chest once more.




Before they drifted off to sleep, a thought crossed Harry's mind. This was the girl he was going to spend the rest of his life with.

Ginny smiled, tucking her head under his chin. Harry tightened his arms around her and smiled to himself. Before they drifted off to sleep, a thought crossed Harry's mind. This was the girl he was going to spend the rest of his life with.
