Harry woke up and just caught himself before he could stretch and hurt himself. He looked and saw that Ginny was no longer beside him. Harry very slowly and very carefully got out of bed, his bladder felt uncomfortably full and he his stomach was growling. Harry managed to get himself upright and swayed as he tried to regain his equilibrium. When the room stopped spinning his heart nearly stopped, Ginny was in one of his shirts in his kitchen her hair was wet as though she'd just gotten out of the shower and he was fairly certain he had never seen a more glorious sight.

Once he relieved his bladder Harry tried his best to clean himself up at little. Once he was done he moved towards Ginny not sure how she hadn't noticed he was up since his flat was all one room. Harry stopped to take the potions on the bedside table and then crept towards Ginny.

"Good Morning, Gin."

Ginny jumped, "How did you get up? Merlin you scared me."

Harry chuckled, "I used my legs Gin, and sorry for startling you."

They slipped into silence while Ginny finished making some breakfast and Harry leaned against the counter.

He was pulled from his reverie by Ginny's voice, "Do you think you can sit in a chair long enough to eat. You're looking a bit shaky over there."

Harry tried to smile, "I think I can manage a chair." He very carefully lowered himself onto the chair. The cuts on his side forced him to sit up straight and Ginny tucked a pillow behind him to prop him up.

They tucked into breakfast and Harry felt a tension between the two of them. He put his fork down and looked at Ginny, "What is going on here Gin?"

Ginny grimaced, "I've been trying to figure that out as well, we broke up last Friday."

Harry nodded, "We did and now it's Wednesday and it doesn't feel like we're broken up."

Ginny nodded, "Can we figure out a way to make this work? I'm willing to try if you are."

Harry smiled, "I'm willing to try. So I guess communication is a big issue here?"

"Yes, we both work weird hours and neither of us has a lot of free time. We can usually write letters, unless you're on a mission."

"I might have an idea Gin. I saw these the other day and picked them up." Harry got up again very slowly wincing as his movements pulled at the open wounds.

Harry walked over to his desk and picked up two notebooks, "I think I've been spending too much time with Hermione. These day planners are connected, so when one of us writes in it the other can see that way we can avoid the 'I have no clue where you are right now issues'."

Ginny smiled as she took on of the planners from Harry, "That's actually not a bad idea. They make notebooks like this as well. Next time I go to Diagon alley I'll pick up a set and we can use that instead of letters. We also need to talk to each other."

Harry nodded, "We do don't we. Gin I'll try if you will, but you might have to remind me occasionally. I'm pretty used to keeping everything shut up."

Ginny put her hand on Harry's, "Okay, and I will try to not be so quick to yell."

Ginny bit her lip and looked down, Harry placed a finger under her chin and raised her eyes to meet his, "What is it Gin?"

"Doyoufindmeattractive?"

Harry raised an eyebrow at Ginny, "Come again?"

He watched as Ginny took a deep breath refusing to meet his gaze, "Do you find me attractive?"

Harry smiled, "Of course I find you attractive, wait did you really think I didn't?"

Ginny nodded and Harry stopped smiling, "Ginny you are the most beautiful woman in the world to me. There is no moment I don't find you attractive. I damn near had a heart attack this morning when I saw you in my shirt."

Ginny smirked, "I sort of stole it from you this morning I really needed a shower and my clothes were dirty."

Harry smiled, "You can steal my clothes whenever you'd like love. But why did you think I found you unattractive?"

Ginny shrugged, "You're not very physically expressive. I thought maybe you didn't touch me because you didn't find me attractive."

Harry shook his head, "It's not that I'm just not used to touching people. My family didn't do that at least not with me growing up and I know I'm not the most experienced when it comes to the physical stuff and there hasn't really ever been anyone to talk to me about all this."

Ginny got up from her chair and wrapped her arms around Harry's shoulders careful to not jostle him too much, "Well then we will just have to work on this Potter, but we'll take things slow."

Harry smiled at Ginny when she returned to her chair, and then the smile became a grimace and Ginny checked her watch, "It's time for your next dose of potions. Why don't you go lay back down and I'll bring them to you."

Harry very slowly and very carefully made his way back to the bed. He had no sooner swallowed the potions then he felt himself drifting off into a deep sleep.

Ron was sitting in the burrow's kitchen watching his girlfriend pace. His mother was anxiously bustling about the kitchen and his father was eyeing up both women not sure which one was going to explode first. Ron was betting on Hermione, and she soon proved him right."

"He must have done something stupid he's too good to get seriously injured if he hadn't. Why didn't he tell us?"

She turned to Ron and he shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know love, maybe he's just hurt that badly he can't get in contact with us. Maybe he's avoiding us after whatever happened with Ginny."

Hermione put her hands on her hips, "and where is Ginny it's Wednesday, and no one has seen her in days. When does she get back from her game?"

Ron grimaced, "The game was Sunday, the Harpies lost 530 to 550."

Hermione looked worried, "Ginny said she would be home the day after the game, where is she Ron?"

Ron shook his head, "I don't know, let's go Hermione." Ron grabbed Hermione's wrist and started towing her towards the door.

"Where are we going Ron?"

Ron snorted, "To figure out what my sister and our best friend are up to."

Hermione held tight to Ron's arm and he disaparated with a pop reappearing in an alley next to the building Harry and Hermione both lived in. He hurried upstairs to Harry's flat used his key in the door and pushed it open.

Ron stopped short causing Hermione to run into the back of him. He saw Ginny's quidditch bag by the door and cautiously moved further into the apartment. He saw the many potion bottles on the kitchen counter and peered over the waist high glass block wall that hid Harry's bed from the rest of the flat. He saw his best friend covered in bandages asleep and his sister curled up in one of Harry's shirts napping next to him.

Hermione came to peer over his shoulder; she let out a gasp when she saw Harry and Ginny. Ron tried to hold back the groan when Ginny's eyes fluttered open only to glare at her brother.

Ginny quietly got out of bed and gestured Ron and Hermione into the kitchen, after casting charms to ensure they didn't wake Harry she turned to face them.

"What's up Ron?"

Ron sputtered, "What's up, what's up? Ginny, what happened here?"

Ginny sighed, "An auror showed up at my practice on Monday and told me Harry had been injured at work I'm his emergency contact. We've been talking to each other."

"What does that even mean Ginny?"

Ron watched as his sister crossed her arms and glared at him, "It means Harry and I had some things we needed to sort out. We talked about those things. There's a reason we tried to keep our arguments from the family Ron, this is between the two of us."

Hermione put a hand on Ron's arm to stop his reply, "Okay Ron you can worry about that later. Ginny how did Harry get hurt?"

Ginny sighed, "Doing something stupid and noble of course. He got in between some injured auror and something very large and fuzzy with big claws. They still aren't sure what clawed at him, but it ripped his side to shreds. He's pretty banged up, but of course it's Harry so he's trying not to let it show."

Hermione nodded, "When he wakes tell him we say feel better soon. Come on Ron."

Ginny watched as a sputtering Ron was dragged from the flat by Hermione. They closed the door behind them and Ginny turned back to a still sleeping Harry. She brushed his hair back from his face and settled in to wait for Harry to wake up again.

************************************8

Ron and Hermione arrived back at the Burrow and Ron dropped into a chair irritated.

"Hermione our best friend is hurt why did you make us leave?"

Hermione snorted, "Because you were going to give Ginny a hard time about Harry. They are working out their issues. Leave them be. Harry will be fine, Ginny is there looking after him."

Arthur Weasley settled into his chair, "Good for them, but what happened to Harry."

Hermione took a seat, "Something, they aren't sure what, sunk its claws into Harry."

Molly Weasley tutted, "Well I'll have to stop by with some soup and check on them. I'm just glad they were able to sort their issues out."

Molly Weasley looked around at her family and then glanced at her clock. Ginny's hand was resting firmly on Home. Molly smiled, it looked like Harry and Ginny would be just fine after all.
