A/N since i had such wonderful reviews sat in my inbox so early this morning I thought 'lets get ya'll another chap to say thank you,' so heres another one for you. It's a little different because I wanted to show a different side to my favourite character. Hope you all enjoy x
Ginny climbed the stairs feeling how tired her body was, and sighed. They had spent hours discussing all kinds of strategies, until her mind had numbed to what they were talking about. Now all she wanted to do was rest, but more than that she wanted to check on Fleur. She'd left Harry downstairs in the front room still discussing things, but she couldn't wait anymore. She felt the loss of him stood next to her, but she knew he had important things that still needed to be discuss. As she thought this she felt a pulse of love pass through her body chaising away a lot of the wariness and she smiled, even from a far he was still looking after her.
Pausing outside of Fleur's door she breathed deeply trying hard to settle her jangled nerves. Carefully she knocked lightly on the door and waited for someone to answer it knowing that it was growing late. Just as she was about to turn and leave she heard a click and the door swung inwards. Stepping inside she turned to find Bill holding the door. She gasped at the sight of him and took two steps forwards so she could pull him into a tight hug. He wrapped his arms around her a little stiffly but she could feel he needed the hug.
She had never seen Bill look so drawn and pale, he was her eldest brother the one that everyone could depend on but then it had never been the woman he loved in danger before. Ginny turned then her eyes catching sight of the bed and she stilled. Fleur was in the middle of the bed, pillows pilled around her and the covers pulled up to her throat. She looked so small in all that white, her pale skin and hair making her blend into the sheets.
Ginny stepped out of Bill's embrace and moved silently across the room to drop into one of the chairs at Fleur's bedside. Bill moved to join her once he had shut the door again and he sunk into the chair next to her, reaching out to place his hand on the bed next to his wife.
"How is she," Ginny whispered worried about disturbing her.
"She's tired, after all the blood loss and the power it took to heal her she's been through a lot. We don't have the supplies we need here to look after casualties," he said and she nodded.
It had been the same for Harry, patch work really, but Ginny had been lucky in that her love could heal himself. Bill wasn't that lucky, and Ginny decided she would have to do something so that more people wouldn't have to deal with this.
"You look tired Bill you should get some rest," she said as she reached out to grip his shoulder.
He turned to look at her briefly and then back to Fleur shaking his head, "I can't I have to be here when she wakes up," he replied and Ginny sighed knowing no one would be able to convince him to move.
Just then there was a creak of the floorboards and they both turned to find Harry stood in the doorway. Ginny smiled at him knowing that if he had chosen he wouldn't have made any noise, but that he was letting Bill know he was there.
"I'm sorry to interrupt," he said softly bowing his head slightly to Bill, "but I thought I'd see if there was anything I could do to help."
Ginny turned to look at Bill as he assessed Harry and held her breath. Bill didn't know this man, didn't know how much he loved or the depth that his loyalty went. He didn't know Harry like she did; all he had ever seen of the man she loved was the power he possessed. But as she watched Bill watching Harry she saw some understanding flicker in his eyes and he nodded once, then turned his attention back to his wife. Ginny sighed in relief and smiled at Harry as he entered the room.
He walked forwards and brushed the back of his hand against Ginny's cheek stopping for a moment as she nuzzled against his caress for all a big cat in that moment. He smiled softly at her before he pulled away to circle around the bed and he dropped down onto his knees so he could get a closer look at Fleur.
"I'm no healer, I can heal myself, and I could heal your sister but this is different," he said and Ginny watched as his eyes flamed brightly for a second, "but I can give her power to replace what she used. It might not speed up the healing process as such but it will give her the best chance," he said his eyes moving to rest on Bill.
Bill looked down at Fleur and Ginny could see the pain in his eyes, knew he was scared for what could have happened to her. Head injuries were tricky you never knew what damage to the brain she could have sustained. His eyes moved to Harry then as his mouth set in a determined line and he nodded once.
Harry looked at Ginny allowing her to feel his love and then he turned back to Fleur. Reaching out he pressed his hand to her forehead and closed his eyes. Ginny instantly felt the pulse of Harry's power and this time it was reassuring. There was nothing of the ice in this touch; it was all heat, whispering of thick fur and welcoming warmth. He pushed the power that made him shifter into Fleur letting it replenish everything that had been taken from her. Ginny closed her eyes as the power washed over her and knew that her brother couldn't feel what was happening. This was something for shifters only and it was wonderful. She pulled the sensation of what Harry was doing into her, and held it against her heart.
When she opened her eyes again Harry had pulled his hand back from Fleur's head and there was a light sheen of sweat across his forehead. She frowned for a moment as their connection let her know he had given more to Fleur then he really should have but she didn't say anything. She knew he was doing this for her and she wouldn't cheapen anything he had done. As he moved back from the bed Ginny leaned forwards noting how Fleur's cheeks were no longer pale and drawn, but were now flushed with warmth.
Suddenly her eyelashes fluttered and Ginny knew she was surfacing. Bill was there instantly climbing onto the bed so that the first thing she would see would be him. Ginny stood then moving back as Harry circled around the bed to stand with her.
"Bill," they heard Fleur whisper and Ginny couldn't help the little sob of relief that slipped from her lips.
"Hey baby," Bill said a little choked as all the fears he had held swamped him and he felt tears threaten.
Ginny gripped Harry's hand and led him from the room as Bill leant down to kiss his wife, this was a moment for the couple and she didn't want to intrude.
When Harry turned from closing the door softly he had a seconds warning before Ginny threw herself at him. He easily caught her smaller frame and pulled her against his body as she wrapped her arms around him and buried her face in his neck.
"Thank you Harry," she whispered as she pressed a kiss to the sensitive skin at the bend of his neck.
He shivered at the touch, suddenly all other thoughts being pushed from his mind as he sunk into the feel of Ginny.
He knew she was aware that he had given quiet a lot of himself to Fleur and he was glad that it had worked. When he had made the connection with the young woman he had become aware that Fleur was pregnant, no more than a few weeks. He was sure she didn't know about the pregnancy yet and he smiled softly as he thought of that tiny bundle of life nestled safely inside of her. He had given her so much so that the child would be safe, this early in the pregnancy she could have easily lost the child and he had wanted to make sure that wouldn't happen. Now he was more than sure that they would have a healthy baby.
He turned to capture Ginny's lips and she moaned softly into the kiss.
He pulled away panting a little, "Breeze you can't do that and not expect me to take you," he growled and she turned eyes to him that told him all he needed.
Her eyes were full of heat and lust and he knew she wanted him as much as he wanted her. Taking a breath to steady himself he moved his hands to her waist.
"Here," he whispered and she grinned.
"I don't think we could sneak away again," she whispered as she moved so she could press kisses along his jaw line, "think you could get us to my room," she whispered as she nuzzled her cheek against his rubbing herself along him.
He gathered her against him and before she could say anything they were moving. She closed her eyes until she felt the world still around her and when she opened them again they were stood outside her bedroom door.
"You're going to have to teach me how you do that," she said and he chuckled softly.
She pressed him back against the wall next to her door and attacked him with kisses that he returned just as feverishly. But before they could move into her room someone cleared their throat and the couple broke apart to see Hermione stood a few feet away.
"Sorry to interrupt," she said smiling at Ginny who blushed lightly.
Harry sighed knowing they would have to play nice for a moment, and he had to swallow to push down the lust that was riding his body.
"Not at all," Ginny said dashing forwards to hug Hermione.
"I just wanted to thank you for coming back," Hermione said her eyes flitting to Harry over Ginny's shoulder.
"Of course," Ginny replied stepping back.
Harry moved to stand behind her, wrapping his arms around her so they rested lightly on her stomach and he pulled her body gently back against his. She had to stifle a moan as she felt just how turned on Harry was press against her back, but she kept her eyes on Hermione smiling softly.
"I don't know where Ron is, things have been a little strained," Hermione said pushing her hands through her hair, a nervous gesture that told Ginny everything she needed to know, "but I'm very glad to see you two. I'm staying here at the moment so if there's anything you need just let me know," she said and with another soft smile she moved off.
Ginny wanted to go after her and say something reassuring but she felt Harry's hands tighten on her body as he moved to grip her hips. He growled low in his throat and the hairs on the back of her neck stood on end. She shivered with anticipation as her heart beat tripped and she knew there was no escaping him now.
"I need you," he whispered into her ear and she turned slightly so she could look him in the eye.
It was then that she realised he truly meant what he had said, it wasn't just his normal animal lust riding him, but a need to touch her.
She turned in his grasp so she could press her hands against his chest as she had done in the garden and looked up into his eyes.
"You have me, always and forever," she replied and with another growl he bent his head to capture her lips again.
This time there was nothing soft about their kiss, he fed at her lips and she gave herself to him willingly.
Harry groped blindly for the handle of the door and pulled them into her room securing the door behind them so they wouldn't be disturbed. The moment he was sure they wouldn't be interrupted he was moving to pull her clothes off. He knew he was being rough with her but he couldn't help it he needed to feel her skin pressed against his like he'd never needed anything else before. He was glad to see that Ginny was matching him in her haste, ripping his shirt in two in her haste to get it off him.
He growled again and he pulled her jeans easily from her body as she pulled her shirt over her head. With a flick of his claws her body was free of all material and he gripped her hips lifting her. She knew instantly what he wanted and she wrapped her legs around his waist pressing her hot core against him. He moaned low in his throat and before she could catch her breath he plunged forwards burying himself to the hilt inside of her.
She cried out in pleasure her fingers digging into his shoulders drawing blood. Harry didn't seem to care or notice the tug of pain as he lowered his head so he could capture one of her nipples in his mouth. He moved roughly his body setting a hard and fast rhythm that stole her breath.
His hands on her hips guided her so that she moved exactly how he wanted and she knew there was some dominance in this. Throwing her head back again she screamed out as she felt his teeth sink into her sensitive flesh, she was riding that edge of pleasure pain and it was wonderful.
She didn't think it was possible but he picked up the pace, moving her slightly so he could press fully into her and still caress all the right places to give her the most pleasure. It didn't take long for her to feel the heat build in her body and she could tell by his ragged breathing that he was right there with her.
The grip on her hips tightened and he grunted as he thrust into her one last time tipping her over the edge. She screamed out his name as she felt pleasure burst thought every nerve ending in her body and she knew he was right there with her.
It took a while for the both of them to calm down, and when Harry could gather enough of his senses he walked them backwards until his thighs hit the bed and he slumped down onto it. He was still buried inside Ginny so she cried out when he sat the feel of him moving inside her body sending shivers of pleasure across her skin.
Panting lightly he buried his head against her neck nuzzling softly as he did and she sighed happily.
"Guess we needed that," she said and he chuckled against his skin.
"Sleep now," he murmured and she nodded.
Carefully he lifted her from his body smiling as she cried out at the loss of him, and then he moved them backwards onto the bed.
Ginny slid from his lap onto the bed and curled herself into the sheets, missing the feel of their warm bed in the cottage. Harry seemed to sense her feelings, for he waved his hand and the crisp cotton sheets were transformed into the warm fur they had slept in. She smiled at him as he settled back and pulled her against him so she could bury her head in the crook of his arm. She reached out so she could press her fingertips over his heart the feel of its steady beat settling her.
They held each other for a moment both happy to just to be with the other as their bodies calmed down.
"I love you Ginny," he said and she lifted her head so she could look him in the eye.
"I love you too," she replied unsure what had brought this on.
He sighed and turned so that he could throw an arm over her waist, "I know I'm not an easy man to love but I will do everything I can to make you happy."
Frowning she reached out to smooth an errant lock of hair away from his face, "I know that Harry," she replied and he smiled softly at her.
"Ok sleep," he said and she could feel his weariness beating at her.
She nodded and settled against him her head resting lightly on his chest. She stayed awake for a while after he had fallen asleep listening to his breathing as it deepened as he slipped into sleep. She didn't know what had brought that on but she was determined to question him when she could.
Sighing to herself she cuddled closer to him and let her mind go blank so that sleep could pull her under. Worries were for the morning, for now she wrapped herself in his love and what he had done for her family and let that love wing her off to sleep.
