Dislcaimer: I do not own Harry Potter
A/N: Here's Chapter 3 for you
Relative Matters
Ginny was waiting on the other side of the black door that led into the Department of Mysteries, sat on the floor reading the latest edition of the daily prophet that giving the details of last night's events to the wider public. The press had been hounding the gates of Hogwarts since seven this morning all of them desperate to get there story from the boy who lived. She sighed folded the paper up. She guessed that it would be awhile before Harry would stop being stalked by the tabloids. Then she glanced at her watch realising as she did that it had broken. The door to the Department of Mysteries banged open and Harry stumbled in carrying a girl in his arms, which had passed out.
'What's going on?' Ginny asked anxiously seeing Harry's worried face.
'She's sick, really sick. I was talking to her and she just collapsed. I don't know what to do.' He said desperately looking into the girl's face in anguish tears streaked his face. Ginny's heart felt like it had just been ripped out and stomped on.
He's in love with someone else. I was so stupid. She thought.
But seeing the upset look on Harry's face she ran to get help.

Her head felt heavy and sore. And an unfamiliar smell reached her nostrils. She blinked rapidly as light streamed through her eyelids momentarily blinding her. Then her eyes adjusted to the light and she saw that she was in a long white room with several beds in it. Her heart began beating furiously against her chest and she began to panic twisting and writhing in the bed, hyperventilating. All of a sudden Harry rushed into the room, and ran over to her bedside.
'Holly, calm down your okay. It's okay.' He said soothingly, grabbing a hold her arms. She stopped wriggling but still looked at him with terrified eyes.
'W...where am I?' she stuttered.
'You're in St Mungo's Hospital. You collapsed your very sick.' He explained.
'Oh I remember. I'm sorry I must have scared you so much.' She said apologetically.
'Don't be stupid, I'm just glad that you're going to be alright.'
Holly sat up and Harry adjusted her pillows for her. She smiled gratefully at him. Then two other people walked into the room. Neither of them was paying Harry or Holly the slightest bit of attention and was fully engrossed in an argument they were having.
'No, Ron I'm not being strange at all. I have no idea what you're talking about.' said the girl haughtily. She had busy brown hair, brown eyes and was carrying a box in her hands.
'Don't give me that Hermione,' said the red headed boy named Ron who was glaring down at her. 'You've been acting odd ever since...Thursday.'
Hermione ignored him strode around the bed and sat opposite to Ron pretending not to notice his existence. Harry looked at Holly and rolled his eyes then he said, 'Holly these are my best friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger.'
Hermione smiled kindly at her, but Ron however looked at her with a suspicious angry nod of the head.
'She's my twin sister,' Harry added beaming at her. 'Guys this is Holly Lily Potter.'
All of a sudden Ron's expression changed to one of bewilderment, while Hermione shrieked.
'Oh my God are you serious Harry. Your sister...but...how?'
Harry explained to them everything that had happened in the room. When he finished Ron said 'Blimey,' while Hermione merely smiled.
'Harry,' Holly asked in a very quiet voice. He turned to look at her. 'How long have I been unconscious for?'
'Two weeks I was so worried for a while back there.'
'You were in a coma,' said Hermione kindly. 'The Healer's are still not sure what caused it or how you recovered. You're a medical miracle. Harry's been here every day watching over you and refusing to tell us what was going on until you woke up. It was quite annoying really.' She added as an afterthought.
'Oh here I got you this.' She put the package on the bed in front of her. 'I figured that one of the things you really must try first is chocolate. It tastes really good.'
'And if you don't want it I'll have it,' Ron added jokingly. Hermione glared at him. All of a sudden Holly started choking and waving her hand in front of her face.
'Are you okay?' Harry asked nervously.
'Yeah, but um...do you think you and Hermione could switch places so that she's sat next to Ron.'
'Why?' asked the other's in unison.
'You remember what I told you in the room Harry about reading emotions. Well the angry waves coming of them two,' she pointed at Ron and Hermione's stunned faces. 'are choking me.'
'I came out too soon;' she added more to herself, then answering the confused looks on their faces continued 'I was asleep for a long time before you came to get me. Almost a year, the hatred, fear and anger that Voldemort was spreading was killing me, my health was slowly getting worse. Eventually I just stopped waking up and I could see everything flashing through my mind all the pain, all the suffering. Then at one point I thought I was dead I was stood by myself in a misty, foggy place. Then just as suddenly I was sucked back again. And I lay there asleep until you woke me up. But I tried to move to soon, there was still so much pain and suffering happening. People were morning and people were angry about what had happened.'
'But apparently my powers have not left me since I have left the room. I must have been in there too long.' She said smiling at her hand which she was now examining.
'The reason no one knew what was wrong with me is because emotions don't leave scars. At least not the type you can see.'
'You read emotions?' asked Hermione looking sceptical.
'Yes, but I can also see into brief glimpses of their pasts and there possible futures.'
'You can see people's futures?' asked Ron curiously.
'Possible futures,' she said smiling kindly at him as though she knew what he was thinking. 'There is often more than one for every person nothing is ever set in stone. Much depends on our choices in life.'
'I can also see auras and those within their hearts. I can even see how suited they are to another person.'
'What as in their soul mates?' asked Hermione looking disbelieving.
'Not necessarily, two people can be together and live happily without them being destined to be together. The sad fact is most people never meet their soul mates. It is only when they do meet there soul mates but can't be together that they are unhappy and always feel as though something is missing. Because of course you can't miss what you've never had.' She said smiling sadly at them all.
They all felt silent and none of them were looking at one another all lost in their own thoughts. Then Harry spoke up at last.
'Anyway I think you need to have one last check up today and then they might be able to release you.' he said cheerily.
'Oh good, although I've only been in this world a few days I think I can already safely say that I hate hospitals.' She said grinning, and Harry laughed.
A/N: Really short I know sorry.
