Chapter Two

One month after the accident Ginny was still recovering. The explosion had thrown her

against the wall breaking some bones. The potion, however, had burned

off most of her skin, and the impact had put her into a coma. "When will she be okay?"

asked Ron, full

of concern. Harry and Ron had not left her side, except for classes. Sometimes her

condition improved, sometimes it dropped dangerously low. One day, a Saturday, Ron

had detention,

so Harry was alone with Ginny. He looked down at her half-mangled corpse and a single

tear rolled down his face. "I'm sorry." He whispered. A minute or two later, Harry meant

to apologize again, but it came out as "I love you Ginny." He stared down at her. "Did I

just say that?" He wondered to himself. But at that moment he realized that it hadn't been

an accident. Harry Potter, the Boy Who Lived loved Virginia Weasly. "How could I not

see it before!" He said angrily. "Now she can never forgive me..."

He thought of all the people he had lost: James, Lily, Sirius, and now Ginny. "I should

have been checking on the potion, not talking to Hermione and Ron!" He said

to himself. "This is all my fault! If it weren't for me, Ginny wouldn't be in a coma!"

At that moment, Ron walked in, covered in dust. He looked over at Harry and saw him

leaned over and talking to himself. "Why Ginny? It should have been Draco..." He could

hear him mumbling. "I agree with you there, mate!" Ron said, making Harry jump." How

long have you been here?!" Asked Harry nervously." About a minute. Why?"

"Oh, nothing." They sat down next to Ginny again. Ron was solemn, Harry was an inch

from bursting into tears. "You okay, mate?" Ron asked "You don't look to well."

"I...have to go." Harry said suddenly. He got up, and was halfway out the door, When

Ginny woke up. "Ginny!" Ron exclaimed "You're okay!" Ginny looked up and

saw Harry in the door way. Had she heard what he said earlier? "Harry, I- "She started to

say, but Harry cut her off by leaving the room, and heading towards the Gryffindor

common room. "This will be a long night" he muttered as he approached the fat lady.

"Banta Bottles" He said before stepping into the common room and approaching the

darkness within.
