Illness Revealed
It had been two hours since Ginny arrived at the hospital and still no one knew what was wrong with her. Bill, Charlie, Percy, Fred and George were notified and on their way to St. Mungo's. Harry was sitting with Hermione and Ron on a white couch in the way to sterile looking waiting room. Every thing was crisp and clean and very sickening to Harry. Both Arthur and Molly were pacing up and down still trying to get word of their daughters health from the healers.
"I'm sorry but she's still unconscious. We're doing everything that we can. I'll come get you the minute I hear anything." The healer went back into Ginny's room while the rest of them waited in angst. Harry banged his head against the wall.
"Ouch." He rubbed his head and groaned. He got up and started pacing. He wanted to know what was wrong with Ginny even worse than everyone else. They weren't there when she collapsed. They didn't see her turn pale and fall into his arms.
"Harry...HARRY!" George yelled. He had arrived half an hour before and Harry hadn't stopped pacing since he and his brothers arrived. Harry's head shot up and he looked confused.
"What do you want George?" Harry asked irritated. He looked around to see that everyone in the waiting room was looking at him. He blushed. He hated everyone looking at him.
"Ginny is awake and looking to see you." He said defensively. Harry's green eyes widened. Ginny was awake? And she wanted to talk to him? He grabbed his cloak that was lying on the chair and ran in the direction of Ginny's hospital room.
"...Ginny...are you awake, its me Harry?" He noticed that Ginny was sitting up in her bed, still looking rather pale but a lot better then when she first arrived.
"Harry?" Ginny whispered. She motioned for him to move closer to her. He did but slowly at first. Relax...it's only Ginny.
"It's me." He sat next to her on her bed. Ginny's eyes brightened. "How are you feeling Gin?"
"I've been better." She smiled. Her eyes tried to sparkle but they still looked clouded and dark. Harry reached out and brushed his hand against hers.
"You should be resting Gin. You're still weak from what ever happened earlier."
"Do they know what is wrong with me?" Harry didn't say anything and Ginny looked down.
"No, they haven't said a word. Have you spoken to your family yet?" She nodded.
"They came in about five minutes before they sent you in here. They wouldn't say anything...just sat down and stared at me." Ginny couldn't help but cry. Harry took a hold of her hand and held it tight.
"Shh...it will be alright. You're awake and you'll be alright." Ginny looked into Harrys' eyes and her eyes dried immediately.
"I don't know Harry...I've been feeling very ill for awhile now...I just never told anyone about it."
Harry looked over Ginny carefully. She had been paler then when he last saw her at the end of fourth year. There were dark circles under her soft brown eyes and she didn't have the same Weasley spark that he had come to know and love...wait did he just say love? He barely knew Ginny...there is no way that he could love her. It's true that they technically have known each other for about three years and he saved her life in his second year but they really have nothing in common. Ginny comes from a loving home while he lost the only people that have ever cared for him, save the Weasley's.
When she collapsed into his arms he was so afraid. He didn't want nothing bad to come of her. She was so young and he cared a great deal for her but something in him changed when no one would tell him what was wrong with her. He didn't want her to be here in a hospital bed...sick. He wanted her back at the Burrow laughing and being her normal self.
Harry noticed that Ginny was waiting for him to say something and he was going to reply but the door to the room opened and Ginny's entire family entered along with Hermione and her Healer. Harry stood up and moved away from Ginny.
"I gathered you all in here because Ginny's test results came in," the healer spoke up. Harry headed towards the door.
"Where you going Harry?" Ron asked.
"This is a family matter and I don't want to intrude." He went to open the door but Ginny made a noise of protest.
"You're part of this family Harry and you know it. I want you here. You were the one to help me." Ginny made him go sit near her before the doctor read the results from the chart.
"I'm sorry to have to tell you this Ginevra," Harry noticed Ginny wince when the Healer used her full name, "but you have Ovarian Cancer."
