Disclaimer: I don't own these people, not even Harry's heart but just you wait I will! Someday!
A/N: In this story Ginny is taking some advanced classes that why she's is in classes with 'the gang'. ;)
Ginny stumbled, slightly dizzy, out of Potions class. She sneezed. Malfoy looked at her in pure disgust, "Come Crabb, Goyle, before we get infected." And he stormed off taking Crabb and Goyle with him. Ginny sniffed, collecting herself, but as looked around she found that her vision had gone slightly crazy. The hall in front of her, twisted and turned in a blurry maze, she couldn't even see her own hand in front of her, so she did the only thing she could do, "Harry!"
Her voice sounded strange even to her, raspy, she realized she didn't feel well, overcome with dizziness, the blurry world spinning endlessly before her eyes, "Harry." She repeated quietly, she knew she should get to the Hospital wing but she trusted neither her eyes nor her legs. Her legs shook beneath her, finally collapsing. "Oof!" Harry who was a while away couldn't hear Ginny calling for him but he could hear her books fall, "Ginny?" "Harry", her voice was weak, barely audible. Harry rushed to her side, "Ginny, what happened, if Malfoy did this, I'll kill him!" No matter how crummy Ginny felt she couldn't help but smile at her overprotective Harry, "No, not Malfoy. I… Can't see." "What? Have you… Gone blind?", Harry's eyes widened at the mere thought. "I-I'm not sure I need to get to the Hospital Wing. I think I'm sick." "You certainly don't look well", agreed Hermione's voice out of nowhere. Harry picked up her books, and helped her up. Ginny's vision cleared as if it had only been blocked by a cloud, but she still felt weak and dizzy.
"I knew this was going to happen! I should have known… See I had this dream, it was more of a nightmare really…" Ginny could only listen to Harry ramble on, as he led her down the hall to the hospital wing. But as they stood in the entrance to the wing they didn't see Madam Pomphery. Which was odd. They heard the sound of breaking glass, "Oh dear…" Cautiously they stepped further in the room. But instead of Madam Pomphery they found an older witch, who looked like she had lost her glasses, and was totally unaware of the broken beaker in front of her. "Is Madam Pomphery here?" Harry bravely asked. "Goodness me no, she got called away this morning, sickness in the family…" On closer inspection Harry noticed that the nurse had put on her uniform backwards. "Oh dear, that child doesn't look well at all, is she ill?" "Umm… No, she just…. Drank a bad potion… Well bye!" Harry dashed out of the wing taking Ginny with him, "I not letting that sad excuse for a nurse get her hands on you! She could do more damage than Lockhart!" Ginny just nodded, and then winced, it hurt to nod.
Luckily Christmas holiday was almost there, only one class left. But they had a while before it started. Harry managed to sneak into the girl dormitories with Ginny and Hermione without getting caught. Ginny could tell Harry was going into panic mode, "And you're sure you'll be ok?" "She told you 5 minutes ago, she'll be fine, as long as you stop asking stupid questions!" Ginny smiled despite herself, and laughed but it turned into a cough, "See what you've done?" Harry glared at Hermione. "You know Ginny you really look sick you should get some rest!" Even thought he throat hurt she managed to say, "I would but there's a strange boy in my dormitory." Harry jealously looked around, realizing it was him, he brushed her words aside. "No but Ginny, if you feel even the slightest bit ill, just come get Ron and I, ok?" Ginny thought in her head, " Oh yeah, like I'm going to run all the way down the girl dormitory stairs, then up the boy dormitory stairs, just in time to barf." "Or… You could send Hermy…" Hermione glared at him, "Don't call me that." "No, really Ginny you should get some rest…" "Harry!" "Huh?" "She's trying to rest but I don't know if you noticed, there is a GUY in her FACE who won't shut up!" "Oh…Right, well I'll be back!", and he ran down the stairs.
Harry was true to his word 5 minutes later he came running back up the stairs, "Ginny you should drink this cold water! And Ron told me to give you these!", he gave the bottled water to Hermione, and threw the pills onto Ginny's bed. "Harry what exactly are those pills for?" "I don't know but it's medicine isn't it?" Hermione rolled her eyes, and was about to retort, when Harry ran off yelling something about getting some chicken noodle soup from the house elves. Hermione didn't even get a chance to argue. Ginny groaned. "Well at least you know he loves you", Hermione grinned. Ginny laughed, and then coughed but nodded smiling.
A/N: This story is going to end up being probably 3 chapters long, and as you can see my chapters are short! And even though I'm not even sure if anyone is reading this I wanted to say where I got this idea: I got sick in China, and this guy who had a crush on me went psycho, most of what Harry said in this chapter, has been said to me, on that night. He wouldn't get out of my room and eventually I was forced to get up and chase him away. ;)
"Harry, it's ok, I'll be fine I'm not going to die or anything. Just a random illness." "Well, even so, I just want to make sure you know that I'll be here for you, in sickness or in health."
