A/N When I said review this "shit", I didn't mean it was shit. It's just the way I normally talk, when I refer to something instead of saying get me that thing, I'll say get me that shit. It's what I get for living in Jersey!

Connect the Dots
Part Two
If your muscles are wound up and tight,
Then I will loosen up the knots until it feels right.
Ginny felt a cool feeling being pressed against her bare forehead. She slowly opened her eyes to see Hermione holding an ice bag against her head. "Morning my little fire," Hermione smiled down at Ginny.
Ginny went to stretch out her arms but found that they were too weak. She quickly put them back down. She let her eyes wander the room she was in. it was familiar, but she couldn't put a name on it. "What happened?"
Hermione smiled. It was a false smile, one that should be reassuring but was just quite there. "I guess my spell finally wore off. I'm really sorry about that. A healing spell would have taken too long to work, so I only put a pain reliever. It was a very strong one but it still doesn't heal the body." Hermione took off the ice pack and placed it on the wooden bedside table next to her. "You passed out."
Ginny rubbed her head. It still hurt. She couldn't think straight. Everything seemed like a blur to her. "But what happened?"
Hermione brushed the hair behind her ear making her nervous expression more noticeable. "We thought we won the war," Hermione paused and turned her head. She started to look at the doors, as if she couldn't say the words to Ginny's face. "But it turns out Malfoy had plans of his own. He planned Voldemort's downfall the whole time. Voldemort didn't teach the Death Eaters to split their souls, Malfoy did. He knew we would kill all of Voldemort's soul and he knew how to win over the Death Eaters. They were all in on it."
Ginny felt her head begin to spin. It was all starting to become too much. "So Malfoy's the new Voldemort?"
Hermione nodded her head. "Yes."
Ginny sat up from the bed. Suddenly reality became more then real. "Where am I now?" She looked around the room it was dark and dirty, with cobwebs hanging down from everything. The room seemed familiar but her throbbing headache stopped her from remembering.
"Sirius's house." Hermione told her. "It's the safest place we could think of, but I think we're moving soon. They think it's the best idea."
"How long have I been out for?"
"About two days, but don't worry. I was taking care of you the whole time."
Ginny's worried expression fell from her face being replaced with a smile. "Thank you Hermione," she said with her worries suddenly starting to disappear.
Hermione surprisingly blushed, catching Ginny of guard. "It's the least I could have done. I'm sorry I could have done more. The spell I gave you never healed the pain, it only numbed it. That's why you passed out so suddenly."
Ginny nodded her head. "It's okay Hermione. I'm fine now. You didn't do anything wrong. In fact I think you did everything perfectly."
Hermione's pink cheeks just got pinker, turning a slight shade of red. "Oh I wouldn't say that."
Ginny slowly lied back onto the pillow. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, suddenly feeling all of the aches and pains she had awakened with. She let out a small moan of discomfort that she was hoping would be unnoticeable.
"Are you alright?" Hermione asked.
It was Ginny's turn to blush. "I'm just really sore."
Hermione put her pointer finger up as if she had idea. She turned and shuffled throw a bag that was on the bedside table. She pulled out a bottle filled with bright blue liquid and turned back to Ginny. "Where does it hurt?"
"Well right now it's mostly in my back."
"Well then turn on your back."
Ginny did as she was told. She turned on to her back and made sure her head was facing Hermione. She felt her shirt being pulled up then a cooling sensation as Hermione poured the blue potion on her back.
Hermione then placed her hands on Ginny's back and began to rub. "This will do the trick," she told her as she gently massaged her back. "I'll make all the pain go away."
If your ears just ache from listening,
Then I'll supply the remedy in the melodies I sing.
Hermione caressed the inside of Ginny's arm. The blue potion rubbed in turning Ginny's skin a slight shade of blue before disappearing. "Did you hear about Luna?" Hermione asked Ginny.
Ginny shook her head. "What about Luna? She's okay isn't she?"
Hermione laughed. "Oh yes, in fact I guess you would say she is more then okay. She has a girlfriend."
Ginny felt her heart stop at the words. "She has a what?" she said a little too quickly. It sounded is if she was almost disgusted.
"A girlfriend," Hermione said slowly. "She came out when school ended last year."
"Oh, I'm surprised I didn't know about that."
"Imagine what she had to go through. It must be scary confessing your feelings like that, but I heard her parents took it lightly, but they are the Lovegoods."
Ginny nodded her head. She watched Hermione carefully. It was an odd thing for her to bring up, epically considering what was going on at the time. "I think as long as someone loves someone else it's okay. Talking about love, how are you and Ron doing?" Ginny felt her heart speed up at the words. She suddenly wished she could take them back. She wanted to know what was going on between them but at the sometime she wasn't ready to get hurt.
Hermione stopped massaging Ginny. "I don't know Ginny. I mean he's a great guy and all but," Hermione stopped there.
"But what?" Ginny asked. "Is there someone else?"
Hermione shook her head. "Oh of course not! You know I'm not like that Ginny. It's just, I guess he's not what I want at the moment."
"Oh Hermione," Ginny sighed. "What do you want?"
Hermione shook her head. "I think we've talked enough about me. What about you? I'm sure if Harry wasn't so busy he would be in here too."
"That's the problem. He never is here. He broke up with me. I know it was only because of the war but ever since, I just couldn't have feelings for him, or any other guy."
Hermione looked at Ginny quickly, eyeing her down. "I'm sure he'll fix things with you when the time is right, or you'll find someone else. You're smart, funny, and really pretty, you have everything going for you."
Ginny just turned and shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know Hermione, I just don't know. I hope I find love, just like Luna did." Ginny felt her body suddenly become heavy. She let out a small yawn and closed her eyes.
"Yeah, but bloody hell Ginny, I just can't seem to fall in love, maybe I've just been dating the wrong type of people."
Ginny buried her head deeper into the pillow not hearing Hermione's last comment. "Can you sing Hermione?" Ginny asked.
"Well I've never been the best at it."
"You don't have to, be. Just sing something for me. It'll help me go to sleep."
Hermione thought about it for a moment. "Oh alright, what would you like me to sing?"
"It doesn't matter, as long as you sing it," Ginny said with her eyes still closed. She was half away asleep at this point.
Hermione smiled at Ginny's words and began to sing a song she had once heard when she had first found out what a lyrical book was.
"In fields of flowers
The sun shines down
Letting its light shower"
Ginny turned again so she was facing Hermione. She opened her eyes and watched her sing.
Hermione didn't notice Ginny looking at her. She was too busy trying to remember the words to the song.
"The children play
As the owl hoots
Signaling a brand new day." Hermione looked at saw Ginny watching her. "Oh now you've just made this so much harder."
"Ignore me," Ginny said. "I'm just admiring you."
Hermione grinned. "I can't sing when people watch me."
Ginny suddenly had an idea. She pulled on Hermione's arm signaling for her to join her in the bed. "Come you must be tired too, you can sing both of us to sleep."
Without any objections Hermione crawled into the bed with Ginny. She snuggled under the blankets and lied her head on the pillow.
"Go on," Ginny said. The two of them were face to face on the bed.
"Close you eyes an I'll sing to you," Hermione tried making a deal.
"How about I sing to you, just so you know how terrible I am and how you have nothing to be nervous about."
Hermione laughed. "That sounds good."
"If your feet hurt from walking too much,
Then I will tend to them, with a velvet touch.
If your lungs just don't want to work today,
Then I'll perform a mouth to mouth until you're okay." Ginny recited the lyrics to the song she heard on the muggle device her father had kept in his room. It played all sorts of music but this one had caught her attention the most and quickly became one of her favorites.
"If your muscles are wound up and tight,
Then I will loosen up the knots until it feels right.
If your ears just ache from listening,
Then I'll supply the remedy in the melodies I sing."
Ginny placed her finger on Hermione's lips and touched it gently. "Don't you just love the feeling of my fingertips, circling you lips," she sung in a joking manner.
"Don't you just love the desire taking hold of you, well I can tell you do.
I know all your favorite spots, and tonight we will connect the dots."
Suddenly the room became too still and the silliness Ginny tried to portray was gone. It was just she and Hermione looking at each with eyes locked.
"Don't you just love the feeling of my fingertips, circling you lips," Ginny repeated in a soft and tender voice. "Don't you just love the desire taking hold of you, well I can tell you do," Ginny said more slowly. Finally whispering Ginny repeated the last words in the song, "I know all your favorite spots, and tonight we will connect the dots."
The room went silent. Ginny felt a sudden chill go throw her body. It was because it was cold and it wasn't from fear but it was because Hermione's lips were on top of hers.
A/N The end! I'm thinking of making a sequal to it! It depends on how many people would read it. Let me know what you think!
