AN: Howdy y'all!!!! Another chappy and we are open to suggestions....
Chapter 5:
Harry woke up gasping for breath like an Olympic swimmer that has just finished a 300 yard butterfly race. He pulled the thick, scarlet curtains back to check the time. The next thing he noticed was that the door was ajar and Ginny Weasley's freckled face was poking in.
He looked to the clock, it read 'You shouldn't be up right now' and then under it said, '2:34 AM'.
Ginny, noticing Harry's eyes finally had opened, she padded silently across the room.
"Did you have a nightmare?" Ginny said at the same time Harry said, "I had a nightmare."
In the faint moonlight Harry could just see Ginny blushing, but Ginny could just barely see Harry blushing.
"Are you alright?" Ginny questioned gently.
"Erm, yeah.....how did you know?" Harry replied.
"I, uh, I-I'm not sure, really," said Ginny, "I had a nightmare myself, Harry."
"Oh." Harry said, unsure of why she would come to him about a dream where she had a zit or something.
"It was about...about...it was strange, really." She said.
Harry looked politely curious, and Ginny sat down on the end of his bed.
"I saw Cedric." She continued bluntly.
At this, Harry's eyebrow quirked upward. Now wondering why she wanted to tell him about a nightmare where she was "involved" with Cedric.
"I think I saw what happened during the TriWizard Tounrament." She said.
"But. how is that possible?" He asked. "You weren't there!"
"I know. But it was exactly like the parts you told me about." Answered Ginny.
"Well, I already told you about those. Maybe your mind recreated the scene." Harry shuddered at the thought. "B-but."started Ginny.
"This may sound strange, but, I saw your mother. She was there. She came out of the end of V-v-voldemort's wand. So did your dad and Cedric." Ginny said all of this in a rush, like she thought Harry might think her crazy. Harry's reaction was much different from what Ginny had imagined.
Harry paled.
"Th-that's impossible! I didn't even tell you that. And. I had the same dream." Harry stuttered.
Ginny's eyes widened considerably, and she just stared at Harry.
It was just then that Harry realized she had said Voldemort's name.
"You said Voldemort." Harry stated.
Ginny nodded her head. "Well, yes. We're the only people that have faced him and actually lived to tell the tale, so we've both earned the right to say it without fear."
Harry gave Ginny a lopsided smile, and she smiled back.
"What if." Ginny trailed off.
"Yes?" Harry asked.
"What if we're connected by Voldemort? I mean our dreams. We both had the same dream tonight. You'd never even told me about that, and I certainly wasn't there."
"I've never told anyone about that." Harry said softly.
"Oh." Ginny squeaked.
Then they both noticed that the sky was lightening. Harry looked at the clock and noticed that it was already four in the morning.
Ginny looked at Harry again, and they both were at a loss for words.
"Um, well, I'll just be getting back to my room now, shall I? Ginny muttered.
"Erm, okay." Harry said.
"Where is your room, anyways?" Harry asked quickly.
Ginny flashed him a mischievous smile, and quipped, "You'll never know." Harry gave his lopsided grin and said, "Goodnight."
"Goodmorning." Ginny answered with a laugh.
"Same to you." Harry replied.
And with that, Ginny left.
When Ron woke up that morning, he noticed that his friend's curtains were already pulled back, and Harry was grinning stupidly in his sleep.
Ron shot the still-asleep Harry a questioning look. He walked over to Harry and shook his shoulders.
"Wake up, mate. C'mon." Ron shouted.
Harry groaned, turned over, and mumbled "Ginny."
Just then he snapped awake to see Ron standing next to him with a horrified expression.
"Erm.uh. goodmorning?" Harry stuttered.
"Wh-why did you just say my little sister's name?" Ron questioned, hi eyes narrowing, now over his intitial shock.
"Um, uh, I didn't." Harry said.
"Yes, you did." Ron insisted.
Harry did his best to look confused, but ouonly succeeded in blushing profusely.
"Were you having....having bad *dreams* about my sister?" Ron asked.
"No, no. it was just. the Chamber of Secrets dream again." Harry lied defensively.
"Oh." Ron said, satisfied.
"Let's go have breakfast, then, alright?"
"Sure." Ron answered.
They both hurriedly got dressed, grabbed their materials, and went down to meet Hermione and Ginny for breakfast.
