Chapter 22

Many Troublesome Plans

Waking up the following Tuesday with the sun glaring in his eyes, Harry turned over. His left arm felt very stiff as he realized Ginny's warm body wasn't laying next to his. Propping himself up with his right arm, his emerald eyes scanned the room. Not seeing her crimson waves anywhere, worry started to fill his heart. About to get up to begin a search, he noticed a piece of parchment on the nightstand. Picking it up, he smiled recognizing the familiar handwriting.

Good Morning Love,

I'm sorry I couldn't be here with you in bed this morning. Dumbledore called for a meeting involving the staff, heads, and prefects. He said it was called to clear up some things about the attack. Personally curious about this, I didn't think I could skive it off. I think I have a pretty good idea what really happened but following the rules would be good for once. I left about five after five and I'm stopping by the library on the way back. We have that big Charms essay due as you know and I'll grab some breakfast before heading back.

I sure hope you find this note. I really don't want you to worry, especially about me. You really don't need anymore stress or your lovely raven hair will turn white.

My love forever and always,

The very sexy redhead,

Ginny xoxo

P.S. When your done reading this you better be smiling!

Without skipping a beat, Harry's lips reached his eyes in a smile. Placing the note back on the stand, he checked the clock. Reading 8:30, he knew she would be back any moment with their breakfast. Though, he didn't want the food, he wanted Ginny.

Swinging his tired legs over the beds edge, he stretched his right arm being careful with the left one. Looking down at himself, he noticed he was still clothed in his suit. Looking at the chair next to his bed, he found his uniform and pajamas were draped across the back. Stripping slowly from the suit, he put on the white beater and blue shorts. Barely had he begun to climb back into the warmth of the bed when he heard a familiar noise.

The clicking heels of Madam Pomfrey were heading his way.

"Good morning, Potter. How is that arm of yours?" She said, taking the sling gently off his arm.

"Much better! Well, at least better than yesterday." Harry said giving her a friendly half-smile.

"That's a good sign," she said jokingly, "I think you'll be able to leave around lunchtime. How does that sound to you?" Retuning the smile, Madam Pomfrey handed him a flask of Skele-Grow.

"Perfect, absolutely wonderful. Though, do I really need to drink that?" He said making a face at the flask of potion. Raising an eyebrow, she looked at him sternly.

"Yes, Potter, I think you better." Laughing a little, he stared at his destiny and frowned.

"Darn shame too.." Taking it in his hand, he drank it all in one go. Choking a little at the burning sensation, he spat out, " It just gets worse and worse every time doesn't it?"

She looked at him as if in deep thought, "To be honest, I've never had to use it. Never broken a single bone in my body." Waving her wand, the glass disappeared.

"Well, that's something to be proud of." Smiling, he appreciated the matron placing his arm back in the sling.

"I suppose so," she replied in a monotone, "I will be back to check on you before you're released."

Harry replied, "Okay, thanks!"

Madame Pomfrey nodded knowingly and clicked off towards her office once again.

Harry let his head rest against the pillow, he closed his eyes in thought and wondered when the redhead that lighted his life would walk through the doors once again. And just as though the thought floated out of his mind, the doors of the hospital wing swung open. Flaming red hair whipped behind her as she seemed in a rush state. Carrying her bag on her shoulders, she had out in front of her two plates of food which she was levitating with her wand.

"Good morning beautiful." Harry said, smiling seductively at her and giving her a cheeky wink.

She smirked and rolled her eyes, "Me, beautiful, ha." Smiling again, she let her bag drop to the ground, and walked over to him. Ginny gave him a small kiss on the cheek by his ear and whispered, "Now maybe hello gorgeous..." she said suggestively as she pulled away.

Conjuring up two trays and a chair, barely had the plates hit the trays when Harry grabbed her with his good arm and pulled her on top of him. He smirked down at her and kissed her softly on her lips, "I beg of you, don't tease me. It's horribly mean."

Ginny smiled and then failed at keeping in her laughter, "But it's quite amusing," she said making the puppy dog face.

"Not fun for me!" Harry protested letting her up from his lap.

"Oh your such a party pooper." Ginny said as she pulled his tray over to him.

Harry looked at her and pretended to be shocked, "Am not," he said childishly.

She shook her head and sat down on the chair that she had conjured as she began eating she replied, "Sure Harry, whatever you say."

Harry laughed and began to eat as well, "So, what did Dumbledore say about the cause of the explosion?" He questioned.

Ginny placed her fork on the tray and shifted a bit in her seat, "Well, actually, nothing. All he talked about was how the prefects had to clean it up and when they would be doing that. And we also discussed where we would be having breakfast lunch and dinner, which will be in the court yard, unless the weather acts up, then it will be in our dormitories. But as far as the 'cause of it' goes, he said nothing." Ginny paused and then started up again, "Oh! I almost forgot, Professor Dumbledore said that as soon as you are released he wants you and me to go up to his office for a 'private' meeting."

Harry looked overly confused as he said, "What for? Do you think he is going to tell us the cause then?"

She nodded as she took a sip of her orange juice, "Yes, I do. And I also think I know why it happened or who for that matter."

Harry nodded, and without looking up from his plate, said, "Voldemort"

Ginny sighed and started again, "Yes, that's exactly what I thought too."

He shook his head, "But we don't know if it's him for sure,"

"It's most likely him, I wish it wasn't. After all he has been possessing your dreams again, Harry." Ginny picked up her wand and waved it over her empty plate and tray, they disappeared and she moved to do the same for Harry.

"It just doesn't make sense," Harry started as he scooted over and motioned for Ginny to join him. She walked over and sat down beside him, "Why would he attack the whole school during a major event when the only person he wants to kill would be me?"

"Exactly, and that is why I think there must be something more to this whole thing. There must be someone else, or something else for that matter, that he wants to kill or hurt. Which is why I dropped by Fred's classroom on the way back here and picked up one of these," she held out her hand, and in it was a shrunken box of 10 Extendable Ears. " I figured that the professors would be having meetings and such about this, so we could easily hear what they have to say. I also have yet another idea, I thought that we could maybe put a charm on these so that they would record everything that was heard." She took a breath and continued once more, " I didn't think it would be very wise of us to stand outside of their offices and just listen there, I mean one of them could hear us and then we would be totally busted."

Harry looked shocked and amazed at the same time, " You are bloody brilliant, how did I wind up with someone as smart as you!" he exclaimed as he kissed her on the lips quickly.

Ginny laughed and smirked, "You're very cute and very lucky!"

Harry smiled charmingly and made is voice a bit deeper as he said, " Thank you, thank you very much."

Ginny looked a bit confused but laughed never less, "Okay ...?" "Er,.. I heard it on T.V. once... erm never mind," he said as Ginny continued to talk. "Do you think we should tell Hermione and Ron about this?"

"No, they have enough to deal with right now, I'm sure we will be able to do this on our own."

"Alright, oh, and when I went to the library I pulled out a few books on the subject: 100 Sneaky Ways To Get What You Want, this one is about eavesdropping and such. Are You a Good Listener? It's about the same thing once again," Ginny handed those two to Harry, he glanced through them and then handed them back to her. She stuffed them back into her bag and started talking once more. "Now, there is more to my plan, but we need to discuss it later, in private. And we will need to have at least Hermione's help with this, we will need more people," she whispered.

He looked at her curiously and cocked his head, "Give me a hint, what is it about?"

"Only three words, Department of Mysteries."

His eyes widened to the size of plates, "Oh, no, I cannot go back there again. Not after Sirius..." he said waving his arms in the air.

"Shhsh! ... People could be listening! Just have some faith in me, I have a few things up my sleeve, but we have to discuss those in our dormitory too."

"Gin, I do have faith in you, all in the world, but I just don't think I could handle going back in there. I will wait to hear the rest of your 'plan' until I decide though," He smiled weakly at her and then placed his arm around her shoulders.

They sat there in a comfortable silence for a few minutes until Ginny spoke up, "Did you happen to find out approximately when you will be released, because these beds are horribly uncomfortable. I like our love seats better,"

Harry smirked and nodded, "As do I, and yes I did. Madame Pomfrey came by, when you were gone, to check on my arm and she said that around lunch I can leave,"

"Wow, that's great! I was almost positive you'd be in here for the rest of the week," she replied nuzzling into his chest, " That would be horrible,"

"I don't think I'd like it very much either," He said kissing the top of her red waves.

( sound of bell ringing, signaling first class of the day )

Ginny sighed and then stood up, "Well, I better get off. Arithmancy is first, and I definitely don't want to be late, Professor Vector might just eat me alive!" She swung her bag over her shoulder once again, blew him a kiss, and walked off.

"Love you!" he called after her.

She smiled inwardly as she turned around, " Love you too."
