Forbidden, Forever: Part 5
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Severus Snape ran towards the hospital wing. He had scooped Ginny up in his arms and was
running full pelt through the corridors. He reached the doors and shouted.
"Poppy! Poppy! Open the doors!" He heard scrabbling and the sound of a key turning in a lock.
The door opened.
"Oh, my! Come inside quickly!" Madame Pomfrey held the door open and he hurried inside.
Luckily, there was no one else in the beds and he lay Ginny down on one of them.
"What's wrong with her Poppy?"
"Well I can't tell until she revives. Stay with her. I'll go and get Dumbledore." With that she
rushed out of the door.
Severus sat down in a chair next to the bed. He bent over Ginny and brushed away her hair
from her face.
"Come on Ginny, don't do this to me." He muttered. He took her hand and sat, watching her
breathe. How long can it take? he thought.
"Severus!" He let go of Ginny's hand and sprang out of the chair.
"Dumbledore, what happened to her."
"That's what I was going to ask you Severus."
"Ah, right, erm, yes. Well.... I was going for a walk because I, I had finished all my marking and
I decided that it was a nice night for, I mean," Oh God, he thought, why do I have to go red now?
"But Severus," Proffessor McGonagall had also appeared, "How did you find Ginny Weasely?"
"Ah, well, I saw her walking too and I went over to ask her what she was doing outside at that
time of night. She just fainted so I brought her up here."
"So you have no idea what happened? Never mind. Poppy, see if she can be treated."
"But Dumbledore, I hardly think she will be unsuitable!"
"We can't take any chances. Please do the tests now. We will wait for you in your office.
Severus, this way please." Dumbledore indicatedthe office. Severus took one last look at Ginny
and walked into the office. He had a horrible feeling that Dumbledore had put two and two
together.
Meanwhile, Madame Pomfrey was conducting various tests on Ginny. She gently poked
Ginny's forehead with her wand and prodded a piece of parchment. She looked at it and
seemed to stop breathing for a second.
"Oh, my!"
At that, Ginny stirred and her eyes opened.
"Where am I ? Where's Severus?"
Poppy's eyebrows raised. "Severus?"
"Oh, I mean Proffessor Snape. What happened to me? I don't remember anything. What were
you doing to me?"
"I think Dumbledore needs to be here to hear this. DUMBLEDORE, COULD YOU COME IN
HERE PLEASE!?"
Dumbledore appeared at the door of the office, followed by Severus and Proffessor
McGonagall.
"Certainly Poppy. What is it?" He sat down.
"We cannot treat Ginny, unless we want to risk it....."
"Poppy!" Proffessor McGonagall stepped forward, "surely not!"
"What, what can't you do? What's the matter? I don't understand." Ginny shot a look at
Severus. He was sitting with his head in his hands.
"Ginny," Dumbledore looked at her with his piercing stare, "is there any way you could be
pregnant?"
"What! No, absolutely n... Oh my god!" She looked horrified at Severus.
Proffessor McGonagall looked at Ginny."Oh, Ginny! How could you!"
