It was when I saw the flames licking away at the door to our room that I panicked.
"Harry! Harry!"
The smoke was now turning to billowing clouds.
"Harry...Please wake up!"
I began coughing, almost choking on the smoke.

Thankfully, Harry sat up.
"Ginny!"
"Thank god," I threw my arms around him.
"We've got to get out, Come on!"
"We cant! The doors blocked by flames!"
"Come on then, we're going out to window,"
Harry practically dragged me up and we ran for the window.
Onto the window sill we climbed just as the fire burst into the room.

We were falling but something abruptly slowed us.
"Harry...," I grabbed for his hand.
In his other hand he held his wand; he levitated us to the ground.
When we touched on the ground Harry pulled me away. The building was in full flame and I could hear the screaming of the man who'd shown us into the inn. My body was shaking as we walked slowly away from the scene, heading out of the town.

It was early dawn time when we walked into the forest. It was cold, damp and scary.
What could we do with no food and no water? We'd die in days...

Days passed by and the water supply was low.
"Ginny," whispered Harry as we sat down
"Yeah." I replied
I was dying of thirst as I'd stopped drinking the water all together. Harry was stronger he deserved to survive even if I didn't.
"Drink something," he whispered
"I'm not thirsty," I lied
"Ginny, you are, so don't lie to me ok? You need to drink otherwise you'll die, you mean too much to me and I cant let you die,"
"But you need the water more than me,"
"I don't Ginny...You gave birth only a little while ago and needs to drink,"
I sighed and gave in, taking a drink from the water container.

For days more we struggled on through the forest, sleeping on the floor under the dark canopy of trees.
"Harry," I whispered my throat dry.
"We're out of water," Harry spoke "And almost out of food,"
"What about our wands? Can't we conjure something?"
"I've tried, this forest has some sort of magical border protecting it, our wands are useless,"

The night, we collapsed against a tree. No food, no water, no shelter...
We had nothing...we were going to die...

Suddenly a piercing cry filled the air.
Harry weakly stood in front of me to stop the thing from hurting me. We were both too weak to fight, wand less and powerless.
"Leave us alone!" he spoke fiercely but with hoarseness to his voice

The thing advanced on us, a lock of blonde hair visible from beneath the hood.
"Leave us alone!" he shouted again
"No," a male voice came out from under the hood.
He was tall, a lot taller than Harry and also looked a lot stronger.

"It has been a while Harry," The deep voice spoke out gently
"Who are you!"
"And you Ginny, out here with Harry, you reckless pair!"
"Leave us alone!" I yelled
"Oh I am not going to hurt you,"
The man took the hood down and Harry gasped...
The man stood tall. His skin had a scar from the top of his ear to his jaw & his eyes were gentle.
"R...r...Remus," I stuttered
"Hey Ginny," smiled Remus
I launched myself at the old werewolf who I had come to call my friend and hugged him tightly.
"Aw I missed you guys too. Hey Harry,"
"Remus!" Harry hugged him tightly.
We stood their in the old mans arms as he held us.

Remus walked with us and led us out of the forest. Apparently, this was where he used to live. He told us stories and we talked and laughed and for the whole walk.
"So Remus...What are you doing here?" Harry asked
"Well, Dumbledore sent me to find you...," he eyes grew instantly grim.
"What's wrong...," I asked instantly
"Its about...Amanda and Danny,"

"Wha...what's happened...,"
"They've been struck down by a rare virus...Its a magically transmitted virus which only pure blood wizards can contract and pass on,"
"Will they be ok," I stuttered
"They will if we can find the cure...We need your blood to heal them...but even then we don't know if they'll make it,"
I looked over at Harry, tears streaming down my cheeks.
"You should come back with us Ginny...They need someone's care and Madam Pomfrey is only so qualified...,"
"Harry...," I turned to him
"Ginny, go,"
"But what if...what if...," I stuttered
"Nothing will happen, I promise you I will make it to the plane of existence...and I will defeat Voldemort. Then I will return safely too you,"
"Ok," I whispered as I hugged him tightly.
"Go sweetheart," Harry whispered as he held me to his chest then kissed me gently.
I stepped away from Harry and towards Remus who began to lead me away.

I got back to the castle 3 days later and I ran to the hospital wing.
"Hello Madam Pomfrey,"
"Hello Miss Weasly...We have you children right here,"
Madam Pomfrey wheeled two prams into the room and I rushed over to my kids and scooped them up.
It had only been two months since I had last seen them but I had missed my kids so dearly.
I cradled their small bodies to my chest and whispered;
"They're so tiny...,"
"Its the disease...It stops them from growing,"
Slowly, Amanda opened her eyes and began to cry. This set off Danny.
"Shhh," I whispered "I'm your Mommy...,"
The words only just sunk in as I sat down in a chair and began to feed them for the first time in two months. My breasts had started to ache so badly due to milk build up, but now as they sucked gentle at my teats, I felt relief, relief to me home with them.
When I'd fed and burped them, I lay them down in their twin crib and watch them snuggle into their cotton blanket.
Gently, I began to sing them to sleep with a lullaby, the tears falling down my cheeks.

That night I laid beside the cribs in the hospital wing. I'd eaten and drank to my full and now all I could do was wait. Madam Pomfrey had decided that she would wait until my strength was back to take the blood from me. I prayed with all my heart that it would work.
I heard Amanda slowly awaken with a whimper and immediately I scooped her up, hoping that she didn't wake Danny.
"Shhhh," I whispered "I'm you're Mommy,"
I gently wiped her baby tears away and held her close to me, gently rocking her.
She looked so much like Harry, she was adorable. Slowly, her whimpering ceased and she began to close her eyes. Slowly, I placed her into the crib and covered her up.
Then I laid down to sleep myself, bringing the cribs just a little closer incase I needed to get to either of them in the night.
Just as my eyes closed I heard a little baby voice...
"Mama,"
I smiled brightly and a tear rolled down my cheek. Amanda called me Mama.

Madam Pomfrey came towards me and I looked at her nervously. She gently put the needle into my arm and I whimpered. This was all for my kids I remembered. She had to take 3 needles full and in the end I felt weak. Holding my babies close I lay down.
Amanda was sleeping peacefully while Danny was sat tugging at my hair.
I smiled and freed him.
"Mama," he grinned
"Well," I sniffed and hugged him close.
Both my kids could talk.
