Dreams and Memories
Surrounded by strange ghosts Harry was fighting for his life as his wand made a strange connection with Voldemort's, the scene around the grave yard vanished in a bright light as Harry now found himself in the kitchen at number four Privet drive, Uncle Vernon was once more yelling about the episode at the zoo, walking into the kitchen as Harry started to prepare breakfast. As he placed a plate in front of his uncle Harry found himself face to face with Hagrid, who was sitting his head bowed in mourning for the loss of his baby dragon, moving around to place his arm around his huge friends shoulders, Harry found himself looking into the eyes of his friend and headmaster Albus Dumbledore who then changed into the most beautiful bride Harry had ever seen. The priest was asking if he took Hermione Jane Granger for his wife, as he said I do, he found himself yet again in a different location, a king size bed faced him; his new wife lay in the middle of it waiting for him.
Harry woke with a start, the dreams had been so vivid he automatically reached out to check his bed, realizing as he did so that he was still in the wizard hospital. Looking across the room to the other bed he saw that his wife was still asleep, though by the way she tossed and turned, he knew she too must have been having wildly fast moving and vivid dreams, not wanting to wake her, he gently felt around for his glasses, having found them and placed them on his face, he quietly got up and crept from the room.
How he knew he did not know, but he knew exactly where he was heading, and a few minutes later he returned to the ward with four cups of tea, from a machine he knew was on the fifth floor, slowly he opened the door to his room, only to find Hermione sitting up, she was wet with sweat, it was obvious to him that her last dream must have been some sort of nightmare. Hermione took the tea gratefully, she had just awoken from a dream about the triwizard tournament, the boy she loved with all her heart, was flying around the head of a huge fire breathing dragon and teasing it, she was sure he would be killed before he ever got to know she loved him.
"I'm just going to take these teas next door," he told her as she took her first sip.
"Ok but be careful you don't wake them if they are asleep, just leave the tea, we need to talk when you get back," Hermione replied before taking another drink of her tea.
Ron woke with the pleasant feeling of the slight weight of a head resting on his chest, and a warm knee resting across his hip, he opened his eyes slowly, he did not want to lose the dream like sensation of having a woman lying along side him, as his eyes adjusted he was confronted by a mass of untidy blond hair, he could feel her arm as it moved on his stomach, her hand spread across his ribs. Gently brushing Luna's hair from his face, he watched her as she slept; he could see her eyes below her eyelids rapidly following some dream. Slowly he began to remember where he was and why, reaching for his watch to check the time, he tried not to wake his sleeping wife. Ron was still looking at his watch when he realised Luna had woken up and was now watching him, "Morning darling," she said, an unusual huskiness in her voice.
"I think we should get up, it won't be long before one of the healers comes to check on us," Ron groaned, getting up was not what he wanted to do.
"Do we have to?" Luna teased running her hand down his stomach.
"Afraid so," a grinning Harry said as he entered the room with the two cups of tea, Harry placed the cups on the cabinet next to the bed, then having bid them to drink up he walked back to his room.
---------------------------------------
Hermione was sitting on the edge of the bed waiting for him when he returned; Harry picked up his cup of tea then joined her on the bed, "You had some dreams too then?" was his comment between sips of tea, "I know I did, some were really scary, like nightmares."
"Same here, but I also had some that were far from nightmares, some of the things we did," she said turning a shade of red as she recalled the dreams.
"Most all of my dreams were about when I was growing up, all the things I had to go through," Harry said as he finished his tea, "all that is except the last one, I know now, were I first saw that little mole."
Hermione's face turned a deeper shade of red as she realised what Harry was saying, gently she nudged him in his ribs and muttered "Well I hope it was after the wedding."
"Luna, you were in my bed," Ron said and felt stupid as soon as he had said it.
"I had a dream about our wedding, and about our life together, I woke up and most of my memory had returned, I wanted to be with you, my husband, that and I really missed you holding me, so I crept over and got in with you," Luna explained.
It took only a second for Ron to realise what she had said and what it meant, "You got your memory back already, that's good news, I just wish I had all mine back,"
"Don't you remember anything at all?" Luna asked sounding appalled.
"Oh I have one or two bits, I also have a few vague ones too," Ron smiled at her, a dreamy look in his eye.
"What have you remembered?" She wanted to know.
Ron's face turned as red as his hair and he looked down at the floor, "I remember our wedding night, and a few other nights too."
It was Luna's turn to blush, as she admitted that she had first remembered the hot steamy nights they had shared together, the things they had done, in both the bedroom and in the shower room, those were the things she had thought about as she had begun to get her memory back.
"Well looks like I'm on the right track then," Ron chuckled; taking Luna into his arms he kissed her for the first time in two years.
A soft knock on the door ended the kiss that had turned rather passionate. "Come in," Ron squeaked, then swallowing hard, he repeated himself with a more normal voice "come in."
Harry and Hermione, both entered slowly not knowing what to expect, Harry had told Hermione about Ron and Luna being in bed together, there was a look of relief on their faces when they saw that their friends were simply sat on the end of the bed.
Luna explained about her memory having returned in the night, "And Ronald has started to remember some things too," she announced.
Ron turned a little red as he nodded in agreement, he was remembering things about being in a shower with Luna, and would have been much happier if he had been left undisturbed.
Their conversation had barely begun when healer Jennings entered the room, "Any thing to report this morning?" she asked cheerfully.
Luna informed her that she now had most of her memory back, although she had not been able to figure out how Malfoy had managed to carry out such a task.
Ron mentioned rather quietly that some memories had returned but would prefer not to speak of them. Both Harry and Hermione were a lot more negative in what they had to say, only admitting to having had some vivid dreams.
"Not to worry dears, Ron and Luna have been taking the potion a day longer than you two, I must say though, that I am so happy you seem to be recovering so quick," Healer Jennings said as she began to examine them. Having run her wand up and down their bodies both back and front, then checked out their ears nose and throat, she stepped back with a huge smile on her face, "I think it is time for another dose of potion, this one will be slightly different to the last one, with this one you will not fall asleep though you may find yourself day dreaming a time or two."
Healer Jennings clapped her hands, from somewhere just out side the door, a small bell could be heard ringing, a minute later they were joined by a very young trainee, "You rang?" she said.
"Yes, time for the next potion, would you be so kind as to fetch it and administer it to our charges," healer Jennings said as she left the room.
----------------------------
Molly Weasley was busy cooking breakfast when her sons began to come down to the kitchen, Arthur sat reading the Daily Prophet, wondering how they always seemed to get a hold of unreleased and sometimes secret news from the Ministry.
The headline read 'Harry and co return'; it went on with a short comment from some unknown source.
The quartet that bravely led the final attack on the death eater head quarters, were last night finally reunited after a forced separation that has lasted since the day after the fall of Voldemort, this morning it was revealed all four hero's are under going treatment at St Mungo's...
Arthur threw the paper across the table to his eldest son, "Find out who leaked this, I am fed up of these constant titbits of information that end up on the front page, we will have to move fast to have all four removed from St Mungo's, this article could be just what is needed by any hidden or unknown death eaters, out for revenge."
Bill grabbed some toast before leaving the kitchen, beckoning Charlie to follow him as he opened the door, a few minutes later Bill and Charlie were standing in the twins shop talking to Fred and George.
"We are going to need devious people on this, men we can trust, men who are capable of all kinds of tricks," Bill told them, as both he and Charlie grinned at the famous Weasley twins.
