Ginny sobbed lightly and hugged the wolf in her lap. Two days ago, this wolf had come to her door and she and Harry had followed. Into the
woods they had gone, and found Ron, bleeding and unconscious. The had carried him back to their house and called the doctor.
In those two days, Ron hadn't woken up, and Ginny was losing hope.
The wolf wimpered softly and licked her face.
It was little comfort to Ginny, but it was a kind thought. She scrached the wolf behind the ear, got up off the chair, and went to find Harry.
The wolf followed behind her.
Entering Harry's room, she saw him look up quickly. His face relaxed when he saw that it was her. Ginny knew what he had been thinking. He had
thought she was the doctor, coming to bring bad news. She held back a sob and sat beside him, the wolf once again settling in her lap.
~~~
Harry stared down at his wife, and watched as her new 'pet' settled into her lap. He spoke quietly to her.
"Gin, you know, she should have a name. She can't just be 'the wolf' forever."
His words relaxed her a little and she smiled down at the large creature.
"Your right," she agreed. "What about Sally?"
Harry grimanced.
"No way! How does 'Neasa' sound?"
Ginny shook her head.
"I could never remember that," she complained.
The debate went on for a while longer, but in the end, the wolf was christned Calliana, 'Calli' for short.
Calli rubbed her head up against Ginny's cheek, causing her to smile. She stood up and went over to the couch. Sitting down, she patted her
leg. Calli took a running jump and landed gracefully in her lap. Grining happily, Ginny went to sleep, thinking to herseft that everything
really would be alright.
