Chapter 8: Cradling a Love
"Ron have you seen Harry?" asked Ginny. "No, not since Charms," said Ron as he ripped into his chicken leg. "He is probably in the dormitory. I don't think we should worry," said Hermione. Ginny nodded but she just couldn't get rid of the ill feeling she had in her stomach. She still had a terrible feeling something wasn't right. "I think I am going to go check on him," said Ginny as she got up from the Gryffindor table before Ron or Hermione could object.
Ginny walked to the Gryffindor tower without any real hurry. She was sure she was just being paranoid. Ginny had become very protective of Harry ever since the incident at Malfoy Manor. She was the only one the truly knew what happened there. What Harry truly when threw. Oh how much she wished she could bring Hazel and the baby back for Harry. As much as it hurt her to see Hazel and Harry together, seeing Harry as depressed, as he was hurt even more.
She was now entering the boy's part of the dormitory. As she walked over to Harry's warm bed she noticed her had fallen asleep. He looked so peaceful that Ginny couldn't help but watch him. His glasses still rested on his nose and his hair was up in a fluff. As Ginny took in more details of Harry's sleeping body she could see the book he held tightly in his sleep. "That has to be unconvertible," thought Ginny. So she tried to take it away from him. Her fingers very delicately pride his fingers away from the binding of the book and no sooner had Ginny got his first hand completely off, Harry sat straight up and yelled, "Hazel I'm coming," and with that he plumped back down on his pillow. His eyes had never opened and Ginny was now standing and gasping from breath. Harry's sudden movement startled her. She slowed her breathing down and started hard as Harry. He seemed to be struggling in his sleep but from what? Ginny thought.
Ginny started to think it was best to wake Harry up because he seemed to be have a nightmare and he looked frightened. "Harry wake up," said Ginny as she shook him slightly. Harry didn't budge. So Ginny tried again. "Harry wake up!" she yelled a little bit louder. But still no responds. Soon Ginny was practically on top of Harry yelling at the top of her lungs and Harry and still not given her as much as a snore or a turnover.
Ginny's shouting had caused some of the Gyffindor's who were back from dinner to become worried so they went and got help. Neville came up to the room to find Ginny on top of Harry shacking him by the shoulders yelling at him. "Ginny?!" said Neville in a shocked and surprised voice. Ginny stopped aberrantly and looked over at Neville. She had tears in her eyes. "He won't get up," she said quietly. She then looked back down at Harry. "He just simply wont get up." "Ginny he's just sleeping he will be.." Neville had begun to walk closer to her and Harry but Hermione, Ron and McGonaggall had just ran in. They too found Ginny on top of Harry only this time she was crying harder and was now holding Harry into a hug. Harry's hands just fell limp to the side of his body.
At first McGonaggall looked speechless but she soon motioned for Ron to get Ginny. Ron walked over to help Ginny off of Harry but all Ginny did was pull Ron closer to Harry so he could see him closer. "Look, he wont wake up!" she cried as he forced Ron to be within inches of Harry's face. Ginny let go of Ron and began to cry again. She sank back down on to Harry's bed with Harry. "Miss. Weasley please," said McGonaggall with sadness. Ginny acted as if she did not even hear her. Ron then picked up his sister off of his friend and carried her over next to Hermione. Witch was not an easy job because Ginny started to kick and cry hard as she was removed form Harry's body. Now Ginny sat on the floor looking stunned and red eyed.
Threw the whole thing Harry remained motionless. "Miss. Granger will you please get Dumbledore?" asked McGonaggall. Hermione shook her head yes but she had only turned around to leave when a new voice was hear. "I'm already here," said Professor Dumbledore. Dumbledore walked pasted everyone and over to Harry's bed. He looked down at Harry as if he was a sleeping baby. Then after a few moments he looked up at Ginny who was still seating on the floor and staring off into space. "He's not dead, but he will not wake up. That is unless someone goes and brings him back of course," said Dumbledore.
"Ron have you seen Harry?" asked Ginny. "No, not since Charms," said Ron as he ripped into his chicken leg. "He is probably in the dormitory. I don't think we should worry," said Hermione.
