Chapter Three

A Certain Little Redhead

Harry sat in his hospital room looking at the pale blue walls. He thought about his life. What was he to do? He had fulfilled his destiny. He had satisfied the terms of the prophecy. The life of obligations that he had once lived was gone. What was next?

Then there was Ginny. He had pushed her away fearing for her life. He could never live with himself if she was hurt. But now, now he felt his feelings returning for her, but he had left her. She would never trust him again, and she deserves to be with someone that she can trust and love. If only…

Healer Levate then walked into the room, disrupting Harry's musings. "Ah, Mr. Potter, I see you are awake. Well, no worries, you should be able to leave soon enough," he said while checking Harry's vitals. "Now, if you are up to it Mr. Potter, you have a visitor."

"Yeah, I'm fine, send him in," said Harry in a cheerful tone of voice.

Healer Levate left the room and in walked a slightly shaggy man with threadbare robes and a broad smile. "It's nice to see you Harry," the man said.

"And you as well Professor Lupin."

"So how are you Harry?"

"Fairly well, I should be able to leave soon, but that can't happen soon enough for me."

"Good. I have wanted to talk to you Harry. I have heard of what you did. That must have been an impressive Patronus."

"Thank you sir."

"Your parents would have been proud, Sirius as well, very proud indeed. In addition, you are of age now and I am no longer a professor. So just call me Remus."

"Thank you, about my parents, thank you s… Remus."

"You are more then welcome. Now Harry, have you given any thought to what you are going to do when you get out of this hospital."

"I've thought about it sir, but I am not sure. I don't like the thought of being a regular auror. I always thought that was what I wanted but now…" Harry trailed off

"Now you are not sure that it is right for you."

"Yeah. I mean if anyone really bad comes along I have an offer from the ministry to be a consultant. I just can't imagine devoting my life to rounding up the last of the Death Eaters." Remus nodded his head sympathetically while Harry continued, "Other than that I don't have any ideas. I can't imagine becoming a professional quidditch player."

"Do you mind if I make a suggestion Harry?"

"No, go ahead."

"Well, Hogwarts is always looking for a few good teachers. And now that the curse upon the Defense Against the Dark Arts post has worn off… Well it might be something to consider. It is a lot more stable and much more conducive to relationships with…er, anyone whom you might. Well, let me just say that it would be advantageous in ways other than just your occupation."

"Remus?" asked Harry with a smirk, "What aren't you telling me?"

A knowing smile broke across Lupin's face. "Well, let me just say that there was a certain little redhead that would not leave your side. With that I shall say goodbye. I hope to see you soon."

"You too, Remus." Remus closed the door and left Harry to his thoughts once again. He fell asleep smiling up at the ceiling.

Harry stood upon a plain with his wand in hand. He saw off in the distance a flash of red. Harry began to run toward it. It got nearer and nearer. It was the hair off his pretty little redhead. She was smiling and waving at him. He continued to run, knowing that when he reached her everything would be all right. He was almost there. He had to keep going. He had to reach her.

Suddenly, a shadow appeared out of the darkness. It was running faster then Harry. It would reach her first. Harry had to keep going. He had to save her. The shadow got to her first. It swept her up and continued into the darkness. Harry called for her into the night, but he heard nothing. He had lost her. She was gone.

No, there still had to be a chance. There just had to be. Harry continued to run into the darkness, but it was hopeless. He couldn't find her. Harry collapsed to the ground. Not able to go any further. She was gone. It was his fault. It had happened again. Everyone that he ever touched was taken. But, he couldn't stand aside. Everyone was in danger. He had to protect them. He had to be vigilant.

Harry ran back into the darkness. He caught a flash of red. He could see her. "Harry," she cried, "save me," and with that she vanished into the darkness.

Harry woke with a start in his hospital room. "No!" he called.

"Harry?" asked a voice by his side. "Harry, what's wrong?"

Harry turned around to see Ginny standing worried by the side of his bed. Harry leapt from the bed to face her. "Dream," he replied anxiously. "They had taken you and I couldn't get you back. I couldn't find you. I…"

"It's okay Harry," she said "I'm here. I'm here and I'm not going to leave you." Harry began to calm down and look at Ginny more closely. She looked upset.

"What's wrong?"

"Well," she said, her voice trembling, "I haven't seen you and I've been so worried. And I thought that…well, when you called…" She broke off and Harry could see a tear going down her cheek.

Harry went forward and drew her into his arms. She buried her head in his shoulder and cried, letting Harry comfort her, letting her worry and fear all come out. "It's okay Gin. I'm okay. Nothing is going to happen to me. And nothing is going to happen to you. I won't allow it. I'll never allow it. Harry hugged her closer to him "Everything is going to be all right."

"Thanks Harry. I'm sorry, it's just when you had that dream and I've been so worried…"

"Ginny," Harry replied, cutting her off, "It's okay. We were both upset. It's just nice to know that you can come to me…that you still trust me."

"I do."

"Well," said Harry more cheerfully, although still holding her close, "what time is it?"

"It's morning. I had just come in to visit when you woke up."

"Thanks Gin."

"Gin?"

"Yeah, oh sorry, I'll stop, I know its kind of a stupid nickname but I just thought that maybe…"

"Harry," she interrupted him. "It's fine. I actually kind of like it," she said and began to blush

"Well. Then Gin it is." With that he slung an arm over her shoulder and set out into the hallways to see if he could find his healer. A smile on his face as a certain redhead leaned against his shoulder.
