"Dad no..no nothing's gonna happen..Ron went to the Time Room to change what happened before...every thing's gonna be OK."
"Ginny...we don't know..i only have...a little longer, if Ron doesn't know how to change it then...it won't work."
"Dad, no! No! I'm not gonna let anything happen to you!"
"Ginny, don't..don't make this harder."
"Dad! Your making it harder every thing will be OK.....I'm gonna stay with you, until Ron changes what happened before then we'll have more time to work with and..every thing will just fall into place."
"Ginny, nothing just falls into place.....Ginny I'm not gonna make it, and you know that...i love you so much...i can't tell you how much I love you, but listen...you need to be y strong girl OK? You need to keep fighting, even if I can't."
"Of course but, you need to fight as long as you can too."
"Of course." he replied and Ginny smiled. Rubbing his head they stayed there for the longest time, until Arthur pulled himself up on the pillows. Clutching his stomach he bent his head down and breathed in and out accordingly.
"Dad, what's wrong? What hurts?"
"Every thing hurts, I'm just nauseas."
"OK," she replied, rubbing his back in small circles.
"Just relax don't think about it."
"He looked at her and smiled.
"Your a good Healer."
"Nah.....you OK?"
"Yeah, yeah I will be...i just wanna sit here for a minute."
"Yeah, that's fine....."
"So, you said Ron went to the time room?"
"Yeah."
"Good, he's a smart boy....that was a good choice."
"Yeah, he seemed like he knew what he was talking about."
"That's good, that's really good...he'll fix it..he'll get us to where we need to be I trust hi..." He stopped for a minute and Ginny grabbed his hand, looking into his eyes.
"Dad...? its OK..alright?" he shook his head and Ginny stood.
"towel?" he nodded slightly and Ginny gave him the rag that was on the table. It had some blood on it, but when Arthur took it form his mouth, it was filled.
"Dad..Dad why is that? wh.."
"Ugh..." he breathed in and out with slow, shaking breaths.
"what else do you feel? Are you dizzy?"
"Yeah."
"OK, just sit, just calm down."
"Ahh." cringing in pain, he doubled over an grabbed a pillow. He clenched it tight in pain and he threw the bloody rag down.
"Ginny, Ginny you need to help me, it hurts." he begged, putting his hand behind his neck. Ginny looked like she was about to cry.
"Dad, Dad what do you want?"
"It just hurts, it hurts so bad.....it feels like it did when it first happened." Ginny knew her father had nightmares bout the attack, but she doubted it had been anything this real...she didn't know what to do.
"Ginny!" tonks yelled as she came bursting threw the portrait hole. She close it behind her and ran to her.
"tonks..Tonks weren't you the one that brought him to St. mungos?"
"Yeah, yeah I was..i can get through to him." Ginny nodded and moved out of the way and tonks sat on the floor, looking up at Arthur.
"Arthur....Arthur your Ok....your Ok..this is nothing...its fine, the pains gonna stop soon."
"Please, please make it stop." he asked, looking at her.
"Yeah, yeah its gonna stop soon."
"Thank you..thank you." tonks nodded and handed him the towel. Holding it to his mouth she sat up on the couch.
"Alright, you have blood in your mouth? You need to go to the bathroom? You don't look good." Arthur looked at her, he looked like he understood what she was saying now, before he was reverting to a child-like stage of wanting the pain to go away, when really he could handle it.
"No, no I'm fine." Tonks nodded and whispered in his ear.
"Arthur, its not gonna be long now...but we're gonna stop this." He looked at her, tired and worn.
"Good...i can't deal with it much longer."
"How has your chest been? The marks are there, but I mean your heart beat....has the venom spread yet?"
"It had to of...i can' breath right anymore."
"It'll be struggled, but what else do you feel?"
"Cold.." tonks looked over at Ginny as Arthur laid back down. She stood and walked over to her. Looking down on her, she sighed their silhouettes were the only thing seen due to the fire and dreary atmosphere of the common room.
"Ginny, you need to say goodbye."
