Hearing the crash from the Great Hall, Hermione ran out to find Ron in a heap on the ground.
"Ron! What happened!?"
Tears glistened in the corners of his eyes. "The elevator, I was just a little angry, I didn't mean to-" Ron was near hysterics.
Hermione hugged him. "It's ok, I'm sure it wasn't your fault." She comforted him.
Ron looked up at her with his eyes full of sadness and confusion. "But you don't understand, Hermione, that was me that, but," he passed out in her arms, causing her to lose her balance and fall backwards. His wand rolled out of his hand onto the ground. The usually old-looking taped together wand had a strange glow to it.
Professor Mcgonagall ran in just as Hermione was about to pick it up and examine it, and it lay forgotten on the ground. Dumbledore was right on the professor's tail. He had just arrived in from London.
"Please tell me that no one was in that elevator." Dumbledore prayed.
Hermione felt her eyes welling up. "Harry…and Ginny…sir." She gasped between sobs.
His face went pale. He mumbled a few words under his breath and the doors swung open. The elevator was forced upward in reverse, and Hermione's breath caught when the mutilated elevator came into view. The doors were smashed together, but Dumbledore magically forced them apart. Harry and Ginny were both buried under the rubble.
"Minerva, take them to the hospital wing immediately. Hurry Now!" He ordered. He then looked over at Hermione, who still had Ron in her arms in the ground. "You should probably take Mr. Weasley too."
Mcgonagall nodded. "Yes, sir."
By then the main hall was packed with curious students gathered round, trying to figure out what was going on. Murmured rumors spread through the crowd.
With a flick of Professor Mcgonagall's wrist, the two students magically floated out of the heap. Hermione followed suite, carrying Ron. Within seconds they were down the hall in the care of Madame Pomphrey.
"What happened?" the nurse cried when she saw the unconscious students.
Mcgonagall shook her head. "We're not quite sure. It was an elevator accident."
Madame Pomphrey's eyes widened. "Oh dear."
~~~~~~~~~*~*~~~~~~~~~~
Professor Dumbledore adjusted his half-moon spectacles while inspecting the damage done to the elevator. How on Earth had that happened? He began to pace back and forth. He just didn't understand it. No one in Hogwarts could have messed with the elevator. He put too strong a spell on it. Not one single person here was powerful enough to break a spell like the one he'd used. He knew these darn muggle-devices would be trouble, but he never would've expected something like this.
He placed another charm on the broken elevator, sealing it up so nothing could happen. He needed to come back with Filch and investigate it a little more later. But for now he had to deal with the task at hand.
"Students, classes have been cancelled for the day. Please return to your common rooms immediately. Your prefects will bring you more news of what happened later on." He ordered, before walking down to the hospital wing himself.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ginny's eyes fluttered. She felt pain run through her body, though she wasn't quite sure why. She opened her eyes a little wider, and tried to sit up. Her head ached with such force that she was confined to her pillow. "Urgh…." She groaned. She could make out snatches of conversation.
"What could have happened?"
"…Couldn't have been a student……..lots of power to do something that great…"
"But who's stronger than Dumbledore? Not anyone around here is…….."
"……only…….You know who…."
The voices trailed off, but Ginny was as alert as ever. She tried to cry out, mustering up her every ounce of energy. "No!"
It only came out in a soft whisper.
Dumbledore leapt from his chair and knelt at Ginny's bedside. "Oh your awake thank goodness, how do you feel?"
Ginny tried to move her arm, and when she saw it she saw bruises everywhere. "What? What happened?"
Dumbledore took Ginny's hand in his own. "Ginny, do remember an elevator?"
She was confused. An Elevator? "No."
"Are you sure? Ginny you were stuck up in an elevator with Harry, and…"
Ginny tuned out. She remembered now. She remembered what had happened in that elevator.
~~~~~~~~~~~*~*~~~~~~~~~~
"Prove to me that your different, Ginny, Prove to me that your not just any Weasley!"
"Would any other Weasley do that?"
"Harry, do you like me? At all?"
"I have waited since the day I met you to know if you have even the slightest feelings for me, and I am not waiting any longer. I am sick of being the timid little Weasley girl!"
~~~~~~~~~~*~*~~~~~~~~~~
"But, why am I here, Professor?" Ginny asked, her throat hurting more and more with each word.
"Ginny, there was an accident. We're not quite sure what happened, but….the elevator crashed." He explained slowly.
Ginny's head hurt. She was remembering more and more.
~~~~~~~~~~*~*~~~~~~~~~~
"HARRY!"
"What the-?"
"We're going to crash!"
~~~~~~~~~~*~*~~~~~~~~~~
Ginny finally understood. "But, what about Harry? He's…ok right?"
Dumbledore looked at her sadly. "He's still alive…. he's just unconscious. And it looks as though he will be for a while. He was hit with a much bigger impact than you. He pretty much…broke your fall."
Ginny felt a tear drop from her eye. Harry may not ever wake up…and it was all her fault?
"Where is he? I want to see him!" she insisted. Dumbledore looked taken aback. "Ginny, he's in the bed right in the next room. You're too weak to walk over there. I'm afraid you're going to have to see him later."
Ginny took a deep breath. She could not rest without seeing Harry. It was all her fault they were like this, just because she wanted to ride the elevator.
"Professor Dumbledore? Can you, uh, please move my bed into his room? I want to, eh, be in his room when he wakes up. So I can, you know, check on him and stuff." She rambled on.
Dumbledore smiled. "Fair enough." He had that mysterious twinkle in his eye, which made Ginny blush.
After they had positioned her bed a few inches beside Harry's, they left her alone with him. She was starting to get her strength back, and she turned so she was facing him.
Ginny gasped when she saw his face. There was a deep cut along his left eyebrow, and his forehead was bruised badly. His lip was bleeding, and his cheeks were also bruised. She felt a few more tears fall, wondering if she looked the same.
"I'm so sorry Harry." She whispered. "I should have never begged you to take the elevator with me. You were right! It was just a dumb muggle contraption!"
She gently wiped the blood away from his lip. He didn't stir. She let her tears flow freely as she laid her head down on his chest.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A few rooms away, Hermione was sitting by Ron's bedside. He hadn't awaked yet, but his eyelids were twitching. Hermione ran her hand across his forehead.
"I wonder what he was trying to tell me?" Hermione wondered out loud. "I just don't get why he fainted like that."
Ron slowly opened his eyes and shook his head, trying to focus on the face in front of him. "Herm-Hermione?" he asked.
She smiled. "You're awake." It was more of a question than a statement.
He smiled back at her. But when he realized why he was here, in the hospital wing, the smile turned into a frown. "Hermione, they, they haven't found out yet have they?"
She looked at him confusedly. "Found what out, Ron?"
He relaxed on his pillow. He was safe for now. "Found out who…. broke the…. elevator."
"They think it was just technical problems." Hermione explained.
"It wasn't technical problems, 'Mione."
Hermione looked at him. "Come again?"
"Hermione, I broke the elevator."
Hermione just laughed. "Oh come on now Ron, don't be silly. You couldn't have done that! Don't blame yourself."
He looked up at her sadly. "I don't know what came over me. I guess I just got angry. I didn't mean to…hurt them."
Hermione became concerned. "Ron, quit talking like that. You're scaring me. Besides, you couldn't' have done that."
He rested his head in his hands, ashamed. "Hermione, you've gotta listen to me. I did do it. I don't know how, or why, but I almost killed Harry and Ginny."
Her eyes widened. Ron was creeping her out. "But, I don't understand! Why would you do that!"
He wrapped his arms around the frightened girl. He didn't understand either. "Hermione, I don't know why or I would tell you. You've got to promise me you wont tell anyone until we figure out what happened to me."
Hermione's logical brain went to work. "Ron, you don't think……You know who?"
There was no answer. Ron just held her tighter.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ginny had been in Harry's room with him all day. She tried everything she could think of to wake him up, but to no avail. She was near to giving up.
She was nearly healed, herself. Madame Pomphrey had given her some strengthening potion a few hours earlier, and that had helped her greatly.
Ginny returned to the task at hand. She tried once again to gently shake Harry. He didn't even stir. She ran her finger on his cheek, but that wasn't working either.
"Oh Harry," she spoke to him, "I was just about to find out if you really liked me! You can't leave me now! Oh, wake up please!" she felt herself breaking inside, and she placed a light kiss on his lips.
She flopped over on her bed, and stared at the ceiling. It was white. As were the walls. White is a very empty color, a color that drained Ginny of all hope.
Suddenly she heard a rustling from the other bed. Before she could even turn her head, she heard a raspy voice whisper, "Ginny Weasley, I think I'm falling in love with you."
~AN~ Well, I have been writing this chapter for a while now, how did you all like it? I will try to get the next chapter up soon, remember I am looking for ideas for a new title! Peace!
