A/N: Hey everyone, this is Amber. This is my first independent fic and it is a song fic. The song is called Taking Over Me by Evanescence and this is directly after the final battle. This could be a one shot, but if you would like me to continue it I will try to. But it would be a song fic…each chapter would be based off a different song. Anyway, enough babbling, please read and review.

Recovery

Taking Over Me

You don't remember me

But I remember you

Ginny Weasley ran into the emergency room at St. Mungos in hysterics.

"Somebody please…please help me!" she yelled as if everyone around her was deaf. "He…he's not breathing."

Though the last statement was said in a whisper, everyone hear it. At least ten healer's apperated with her to the middle of Hogsmead where the lifeless body of Harry Potter lay. Remus Lupin handed the healer a book covered in dust while the rest ran to near by bodies, saving who they could.

"You have one minute," he said looking like another full moon could finish him off.

"10…9…8…"

The healer grabbed Harry's hand and vanished. Ginny looked at the spot were there once was a body, and then lifted her line of vision up just slightly only to see the death and despair. She couldn't take it anymore and broke down on the spot.

I lie awake and try so hard

Not to think of you

But who can decide what they dream

And dream I do

Bill, who had survive with minor injury, was standing near by helping a healer when she heard a cry that sounded like someone had been stabbed through the heart. He took off running on to come to the site were Harry was. Harry was no longer there, but he found his baby sister sobbing. She was without injury yet in more pain then anyone knew. Bill picked up his 16 year old sister and apperated back to the Burrow, the only place he thought would not be in chaos.

How wrong he was. They arrived in the kitchen and Molly saw Bill with Ginny in his arms through a crowd of people. She pointed to the stairs and started to the potion cabinet with the group of people following closely. Bill set Ginny down on her bed just as Molly burst through the door and slammed it in the faces of those following her. The older women looked at her daughter and immediately felt pain, though she knew it was nothing compared to Ginny's. As she tried to uncurl Ginny from the ball she made herself into she noticed a picture pinned in Ginny's grasp. Molly tried to take the picture but Ginny was holding on for life.

"Come on Ginny, drink this." Molly coached her. The crowd outside the door was getting louder and louder.

Ginny took the drink without argument and swallowed it all. She laid her head back down still crying as Bill and Mrs. Weasley left the room. Ginny fell asleep immediately from the sleeping drought, but soon we discovered Molly forgot to make the potion dreamless and the young woman suffered many nightmares that night.

First Ginny was starring straight ahead at the face of Salazar Slytherin. Then the scene faded and she saw the day in Diagon Alley were Lusius Malfoy slipped the diary into her caldron. Now it was her first date with Harry at The Three Broomsticks, where they shared their first kiss. Then, she saw Harry's body, lying lifeless where The Three Broomsticks should have been. Voldemort's robes and ashes were lying a few feet away. Right away, she ran to his side and felt his pulse. She found one but it was barely there.

I believe in you

I'll give up everything just to find you

I have to be with you to live to breathe

You're taking over me

Ginny woke to the sun shinning bright and birds chirping. As she stretched she hit something that was sharp and hurt. She cautiously got up and looked for the object. She found glass on a little area of her bed and she lifted the pillow to find where it had come from. There was a picture of Harry and Ginny on Valentine's Day that year. But you'd never know that due to all the shattered glass and the ripped picture. She gasped when she saw this and the events of the past three days came crashing back with a horrible effect.

She couldn't believe she had slept so long when Harry could be dead! She threw on a pair of jeans and tee-shirt and dashed out of the Weasley house, waking everyone along the way. She ran until she knew there where no wards to stop her from apperating. She appeared in the emergency room at St. Mungo's. There was a long line at the reception desk of families asking about the ones they loved, and behind the desk were five nurses looking very angry and harassed. Ginny decided she'd find Harry's room on her own and started walking down the long plain hallway.

She saw two members from the Order standing outside a door and ran towards them. Once close enough, she recognized the two to be Tonks and Kingsley. They looked beat up and had a few cuts and bruises, but they were better than most.

"Where is he? Is he alright?" she asked immediately. Tonks and Kingsley looked at each other as if not sure what to do.

Tonks nodded once and Kingsley opened the door to the room. She walked into the room and found it to be very plain. Painted hospital white and had dim lighting with no windows. Then her gaze feel on a bed on the other side of the room with a table and chair next to it.

She cautiously walked over to the bed to see the one she loved so dearly. The sparkling green eyes she remembered so well did not greet her. She held her breath and touched his hand. His hand was surprisingly warm and she noticed his chest moving in a rhythmic pattern. She sat down in the chair but kept Harry's hand in hers.

Ginny heard the door open and close quietly. She looked up to see a kind faced healer walking to the table with an arm load of bottles. She set them down on the table and smiled at Ginny.

"You must be Ginny Weasely. They warned me that once you got here, you wouldn't leave his side." She said looking sadly at Ginny and then to Harry. "So if you need anything, my name is Shannon, I'll be happy to get it for you."

She looked away from Ginny to the bottles and starting mixing. Ginny starred at Harry's face wishing he would just open his eyes and jumped when the nurse spoke again.

"You might want to get that looked at, there blood all down your arm." She said when Ginny looked confused. She then forced the first mixture down Harry's throat and Ginny voice found her.

"How is he?" She asked. It was enough for the nurse to stop mixing and look at her.

"Well, he has a few nasty cuts and bruises. Along with 4 broken bones and unfortunately…" Shannon stopped, looking like she didn't think she should continue.

"Yes?"

"He has no memory of his past...at all."

Have you forgotten all I know?

And all we had?

Ginny's face looked shocked as tears spring to her eyes. "Nothing? For how long?"

"We don't know. We fear forever or it could come back tomorrow."

By now Ginny had a death grip on Harry's hand and a river of tears running down her face.

"If I dare say it, the strange thing is he can remember how to talk and we assume walk, but his past doesn't exist." She hopped that made Ginny feel a little better, but to Ginny it was an insignificant detail.

Ginny sat back down, not allowing herself to really cry until Shannon left the room. The nurse left and she let the sobs and tears take over her. The thing that hurt most about all this was that just a week before the final battle, Harry had purposed and when she accepted it had been the happiest time if their lives. And now he didn't even know she existed.

She reached into her pocket and pulled out the ring he had given her. It was stunningly beautiful, with red and gold intertwined and put it on her finger. Maybe it would help Harry remember and even if Harry was out cold, it was time to tell her family. She and Molly were the only ones not in the hospital and her father and Percy were missing. Ginny got pulled back into her thoughts and tears.

She didn't know how long she had been like that, but she finally pulled herself together. As she started to get up and get a tissue, she felt an arm on her wrist.

You saw me mourning my love for you

And touched my hand

I knew you loved me then

The hand was warm and gentle. She around, thinking it was someone like Molly or Remus but gasped when she realized who it was. It wasn't her family or Remus but her husband to be.

"Harry…" she whispered. She looked down at him and met his eyes. Ginny felt a pain in her heart when she noticed they had lost their sparkle. They were now dull and dark like he had nothing to live for.

"Is that my real name?" he asked timidly.

"Yes, you are Harry Potter." Ginny said while fighting back her tears.

"Who are you?" Those three little words broke her heart.

"I'm Ginny…Ginny Weasely." She choked out.

"You're very pretty, Ginny." he said looking at her face intently. Ginny felt a tear slide down her cheek as she remembered how everyday he used to tell her she was beautiful.

"Thank you."

"How do I know you?" he tried to turn his body to face her but winced and lay back down.

Ginny made to turn around and sit back down but stopped when she realized Harry's hand was still on her arm. He was looking up at her with a curious face.

"Where are you going? Please don't leave me." He asked of her in scared tone. It broke her heart to see him like this.

"I'm just going to pull that chair up closer," she explained in a soft voice, pointing to the chair with her other hand.

"Ok," he said and reluctantly let go of her. He watched her the whole time she moved the chair and when she was sitting again, he started into all the questions he had hoping she could answer them.

"You never answered my question. How do I know you?"

"Well when you were eleven, you went to a school called Hogwarts. You met my bother, Ron there. We became friends a few years later and now I'm your girlfriend." Ginny said slowly, wanting him to remember.

"Really? Wow, I have a girlfriend. How long have we been dating?"

Ginny bit back a sob. His questions hurt more very second.

"About 2 years."

"Wow…" the amazement in his voice was apparent.

"Excuse me for a minute…I need…to get the nurse." Ginny choked on the last part because her tears finally won her internal battle. She ran for the door and stopped trying to fight away her tears. When Ginny thought she could talk again she went and found Shannon. Then she apperated home with the news, hoping the healers could help him.

I believe in you

I'll give up everything just to fine you

I have to be with you, to love, to breath

You're taking over me

It had been a couple of days since Harry woke up for the first time. Ginny had sat with him twenty-four hours a day and only close friends could visit. Harry tried to remember and everyone tried to help him, but nothing worked. He still asked many questions, but hadn't asked the one they feared…why was he here?

"Harry, I'm going to get us lunch. I'll be right back." Ginny said walking across the room. Harry nodded and turned to look out the window she had put in for him. Ginny shut the door behind her and turned to Tonks and Lupin, who were today's guards.

"Any word?" she asked.

Wordlessly, Lupin handed her the Daily Prophet. On the front page it read "500 dead and counting…76 still missing from battle." It listed those who they found dead and who they found alive. Ginny scanned the list having met nearly every person listed. She stopped in shock when she saw her father and Percy's names on the list. For the past few days they had been on the missing list and Ginny kept hopping against hope.

Tears were once again rolling down her pretty face as she handed the paper back to Remus. She was surprised she had anymore tears to cry since it felt like she had done nothing else for the past few days. She walked down to the cafeteria and got Harry a lunch. When she returned Tonks gave her a hug while Remus opened the door for her. She was still crying when she went into Harry's room and he looked concerned.

"Ginny, what's wrong?"

"Don't worry about it, Harry." She said as she started to feed him. She fed him all his meals because he broke his arm in the battle. The healers would have this mended by now but Harry became frantic whenever a wand was pointed at him. So the healers were forced to use potions, making the recovery process longer.

After she fed him, Ginny told Harry she had to see her mother. He let her go and she apperated back to the Burrow to find a sobbing Mrs. Weasley on the couch. Ginny held her mother for a long time and made her a sleeping drought once she heard the clock chime nine. She sent her to bed and went to get into the shower. She looked in the mirror and saw all the pain she felt clearly displayed on her face.

I look in the mirror and see your face

If I look deep enough

So many things inside that are

Just like you are taking over

Ginny stepped into the shower and thought of Harry. When she stepped out of the shower, she had a sudden thought. It was almost as if all the feelings Harry couldn't feel where taking over her. She contemplated this as she started to get dress.

Ginny nearly jumped out of her skin when she heard a noise from downstairs. Next thing she new there was a voice calling her name.

"Ginny! Ginnnyyy! GIIIINNNNNYYYYYY!"
