Messaging My Love

Chap. 22

"Hello, Miss Weasley," Dumbledore said when he came in that day.

Ginny grinned up at him, "Morning Professor." She placed her book back down to the night stand next to the hospital bed.

"You seem cheery this morning, May I ask why?" Professor Dumbledore said smiling with his usual twinkle in his eye.

She shrugged, "a nice day I guess," she looked out the window for a second before back to Dumbledore.

"Well, Miss Weasley, Madame Pomfrey says you can go back to Gryffindor tower. Here," Dumbledore gave a her a note, "for when you feel ready to go to class."

She nodded, "thanks."

He left with a smile and a nod; she opened up the note and read: Please excuse Miss Weasley for being late for class. Dumbledore.

But what puzzled her was there were to more notes and the names on the top were Harry and Draco. She passed the one with Draco's name on it to him.

He looked puzzled at her, "what's this?"

"I don't know, Dumbledore gave it to me, " Ginny got off her bed and grabbed her clothes, "see you later, Draco."

"Yeah, bye." He mumbled while he was reading the note.

Ginny had gotten dressed and left the Hospital Wing. "Ron!" She shouted when she saw a flash of red on the stairs up above her.

"Hey Ginny! When'd you get out?" Ron shouted back while trying to keep eye contact as he reached his platform.

Ginny ran up the rest of the steps and nearly killed Ron in a hug, "I got out just now."

"Whoa, Ginny," Ron said keeping his balance.

Ginny let go and then nearly killed Hermione in a hug too, "Ginny? You OK?"

"Wonderful, hey where's Harry? I need to talk to him about a note." Ginny said; looking back and forth between Ron and Hermione, "come on!"

"Forbidden Forest I'm guessing," Hermione said, "He said something about needing to think."

"Alright! BYE!" She shouted at tem and ran down the stairs. She knew exactly where Harry was.

"Harry?" Ginny asked, looking over into a small part where it had a lake in the forest.

She smiled softly when green eyes met hers, "here," she said sitting down next to him. He took the note and read it over.

"Thanks," he said folding it up again.

"Hermione said you needed to think."

"Hermione not so good at keeping secrets anymore, is she?"

"Well," Ginny said, "unless it was important then she would keep it a secret."

Harry sighed and ran a hand threw his hair, "yeah-"

"Why are you thinking Harry?" Ginny asked, "I mean I-"

"Did you read the e-mail I sent you a few weeks or months ago I don't remember," Harry asked.

"No-"

"Well, I wanted to talk to you but you never came," Harry said tossing something into the lake. "So I got angry but not at you- at myself. For having such a stupid hope you would actually love me back."

"Harry," Ginny said taking his hand; he let out a shaky breath and Ginny could tell he was crying, "I'm sorry."

"If you don't know you love him, Ginny," Harry said looking back at her; his cheeks stained with tears, "then why be with him?"

Ginny bit her lip, "Harry please," she begged, "don't- don't talk about this now." She looked at his face a bit longer before looking away.

"Ginny," He turned more towards her, "I love you- I care about you," he made her look at him by pushing gently with one finger on her chin. "If you don't know why…then you could get hurt. I don't want you to get hurt."

You're the one who's tearing me apart, Ginny thought; but she knew she'd never be able to tell him that. "Just tell me why you needed to think, Harry."

"Sirus," Harry said simply; dropping his hand.

"Why?"

"I want to see him or talk to him so bad. But I can't and I don't even have someone close to him for that. I don't think Remus cold help either. I'm stuck and I'm losing one of my best friends. My other best friends are too caught up in one another. I just- feel lost."

"Harry," Ginny said placing her arms around him, "you are not losing your best friends. I'm staying with you."

Harry didn't say anything but was shaking like he didn't want to cry. "It's OK Harry," Ginny said brushing off some tears, "you can cry."
