Chapter 2 -Sierra

When Ginny awoke she was in the Hospital wing. She knew why she was here. She collapsed in the head master's office. Looking at the enchanted clock on the wall, it said that it was only 4:00 a.m.

Madame Pomphrey came out of the office.

"Well Miss Weasley, I'm sure that I don't have to tell you to take care of yourself. I know the blow must have been to much on your system. I'm so sorry about what happened. I wish I could have realized what had happened at the time. If you ever need anyone to talk to, I'm here for you." She sat down in the chair beside the bed. "We will get to the bottom of this. Dumbledore will not let this go unresolved either. As you know there was only the placenta remaining when you came here after the chamber." Madame Pomphrey shook her head baffled by all this.

Ginny knew she could trust the mediwitch. So turned to her and asked. "Is it possible the baby was taken premature and brought back in time to be left at the Ophanage? It's the only answer I can think of, but I don't get how it's possible. Tom was only in corporeal form for 15 minutes at most. When I was completed drained of energy. It's what made it impossible for me to fight him." The tears were silently falling down Poppy's face now. The worst thing she had to ever face was when Ginny came back from that chamber. She was so fragile.

"I think that's a pretty fair assumption. You should share that with the Headmaster."

The older woman was still watching her. Ginny looked up trying resists the tears that were trying to come out. "What do I do now? I'm completely lost, should I talk to her? What if she doesn't believe me? She thinks she was born in 1987, instead of here in the castle four years ago."

Poppy patted Ginny's hand and decided to change the subject for now. "Now, Are you still interested in taking the extra healer's course? I could always use the extra help around here."

Ginny forgot that she had requested the extra lessons with the school mediwitch. She had always wanted to become a healer. She nodded her head telling the older woman she was still interested.

Madame Pomphrey didn't know what to say to the girl. She gave her a hug and sat there with her. She'd known all the Weasley children since she was the one who had to deliver the twins and even Ginny, when Molly couldn't make it to the hospital. She had watched them all grow up. Yet she could only imagine what Ginny was going through now.

Ginny released the woman and stood up. "Thank you. I should head up to my dorm. I don't want people asking any questions about my whereabouts last night. I'll come back after dinner with my schedule." She managed a weak smile and left the wing. Making her way up to Gryffindor tower, She nearly ran head long into the headmaster.

"There you are Miss Weasley. I was informed you were awake. Understandably I was unable to mention last night that since you had requested to have the extra lessons with Poppy. I decided a few changes in your sleeping arrangements were in order. If you would follow me." Now she was confused. They were heading back the way she came. Just before the doors of the hospital wing he stopped and turned toward a portrait against the opposite wall.

"This is Madame O'Hara, She was the school nurse here before Madame Pomphrey."

The woman in the picture was very slim. She had a big smile with amazingly white teeth.

"Why hello there miss, I hope you're feeling better this morning. Albus here wanted me to inform him when you left the hospital." The portrait smiled warmly up at Dumbledore.

He turned to Ginny, "I have a matching portrait in my apartments. She lets me know those who come and go from the hospital." Ginny nodded in understanding. She began to ask another question when Madame O'Hara asked her if she'd like to choose a new password. She looked to Dumbledore and said the first thing that came to mind "Tourniquet, no one will ever guess that."

At that the portrait opened to reveal a large round room. "This is the tower set aside for the assistant the to the school nurse. So therefore it is now yours.

She took her time looking around the room. Directly across the room on the far wall was a great fire place. In front of that were a large couch and two matching chairs on either side. The left side of the room was floor to ceiling shelves filled with books. There was also a large desk that held what she assumed were her text books. To left of the door way were the stairs that followed along the wall to the second level.

"Welcome, to your new home Miss Weasley. Upstairs is the bedroom and bathroom and there is also a third level that is empty so you can add what you wish. When this was Poppy's room, I believe she said she turned it into a forest clearing so she could watch the stars. I also took the liberty of Duplicating a book list for your collection and Poppy added some as well. There is a pull cord to summon a house elf. If you would like to have your meals here, but I do suggest you don't avoid the great hall too much. You are still a student. I will leave so you can rest before breakfast I will see you in the hall. If you have any questions feel free to ask."

He turned to leave. "Professor? Thank you for this. It's too much." He smiled at her at her and left.

She looked around the room. It was simple yet beautiful the main color was dark burgundy and was accented by silver and green. She made her way up the stairs. At the top were a gorgeous vanity and matching chair. In the middle of the room was a large four poster king-sized bed the adorned a multicolored quilt. On the other side of the bed was a large armoire that was made of the same dark wood as the vanity and bed. Her school uniform was hung loosely on the hook beside it. Walking through the door opposite the bed she found the bathroom. It had to be enchanted. There were no walls, only windows. There was a pedestal sink and a large sunken in tub. She decided she would not be able to fall asleep, as it was just past five in the morning. She decided to take a bath. She started the water, and it was quickly filled, getting in the water was above her hips. She found a small seat on the inside of the tub and relaxed for the first time since arriving at the castle.

After she had finally stepped out of the tub dressed and perused through her new book collection. It was 6:30. She slowly made her way to the great hall for breakfast. She turned the corner to the main entrance and ran directly into a strong male torso. He looked at her and gave a genuine smile while steadying her. She had never before seen a smile upon his lips. She stood rooted in her place as he nodded and walked past her. 'What the Fuck was that' she thought to herself. 'Could my life be any more complicated?' She turned and continued her way to the gryffindor table. He was still watching her Obviously it could.
