At The Burrow

"Hey Harry! Wanna game of wizards chess" asked Ron

"No he doesn't Ron. He's tired, and anywhere it is totally barbaric" replied Hermione

"I do wanna game" said Harry.

Ron and Harry have a game of wizards chess. Surprisingly Harry won.

"Bloody hell Harry how did you get so good"

"Dunno"

At that moment Mrs Weasley came in

"Time for dinner Harry" she said.

"Thanks Mrs Weasley"

Harry, Hermione and all the Wealseys settle down to eat.

"So Harry what does a torch do?"

"Arthur!! He's only arrived a few hours ago. Give him a chance to settle in"

"This meal's great Mrs Weasley, much better than the ones I got with the Dursleys"

"Thank you Harry. You two stop messing about" she said as she turned to face the twins who were trying to have a fight with their fake wands.

After dinner Harry and Ron went u to the room. There was Pig in his cage and Hedwig was sitting on top of the wardrobe. Harry began to look through his trunk. He pulled out his dad's old invisibility cloak.

"Lets pull a prank on the twins"

Ron and Harry got under the invisibility cloak and crept along to the twin's room. Luckily it was empty. Ron pulled out a bag of dung bombs a balanced them on top of the door. Harry and Ron remained in the room until the twins came in. The firs twin was Fred. He opened the door and the bag of dung bombs landed straight on his head. George started to laugh. Fred turned and accused George

"You put that bag of dung bombs there didn't you?"

"No" George replied truthfully

Harry couldn't contain his laughter any more.

"Who's there?" both twins asked simultaneously

Harry pulled off the invisibility cloak.

"Me and Ron. I got that idea off you two. Especially after you left Hogwarts the way you did. Shame I didn't get to try it on old Umbridge."

"Good prank Harry. Very handy these cloaks aren't they."

The next day Harry played quidditch. The teams were Harry, Ron, and Fred vs. George, Charlie, and Ginny. Hermione decided to watch the game instead. Bill was the referee.

The teams were quite even because everyone have been on the Gryffindor house team. Fred and George were beaters, Ron and Charlie were keepers/chasers, and Harry and Ginny were seekers. Charlie was the first to score, and then Charlie scored again. 20-0 to Ginny's team. Ron scored twice in quick succession. 20 all. Fred hit the single bludger towards Charlie while Ron tried to score. Charlie avoided the bludger and still managed to save the quaffel. George beat the bludger back towards Fred who just rolled over on his broom. Harry suddenly went into a dive, Ginny followed him, Ginny pulled and so did Harry a few seconds later when he realised Ginny wasn't following him. Harry had tried the wonski feint. Ginny wasn't fooled though. Ginny had pulled up early and had started to charge up the pitch towards the other end. Harry looked up and saw the snitch right in front of Ginny. Harry turned round and sped after Ginny.

"Come on faster, faster" he muttered. His firebolt seemed to obey him. He was gaining on Ginny at a much faster rate. Then he realised Ginny was slowing. Harry sped past and looked back at Ginny. Her eyes were closed. She started to wobble and then fell off her broom.

"Ginny!!" Harry yelled as he spun on the spot and plummeted after her. Harry pulled up along side and tried to grab her hand. He missed. Harry eventually managed to grab her hand after 3 attempts. Harry pulled up to slow the decent but to no avail. They were still falling fast.

Hermione pulled out her wand and muttered "winggardium leviosa", and pointed at a net lying on the ground. A net that Mr Weasley had left outside unfolded (after studying it), floated into the air and spread out underneath Harry and Ginny. Harry pulled out his wand with his other hand. Now he held on to his firebolt with his legs.

Harry shouted "Accio broom" and pointed it at Ginny's broom. The broom came hurtling towards Harry. By now Harry and Ginny were only 10 meters away from the net. Harry turned both brooms upwards and tried again to slow the decent. This time, with the two brooms Harry started to slow down. Harry managed to stop just 10 cm above the net. Harry then carefully put Ginny into the net and then floated down to the ground. The quidditch game was forgotten. Hermione floated the net down next to Harry then dove down next to him. The rest of the Weasleys dove down trying to help Ginny. Harry gently picked up Ginny and carried her into the house. He put her down on the sofa. Ron went into the kitchen so he could use the fireplace to contact Arthur. Ron picked up a small pinch of flow powder and chucked it into the fire. He then put hi head in and said

"Misuse of mugle artefacts office." His head started to spin.

"Hello anyone there?" Ron called out

"Hello Ron. What's up?" asked Mr Weasley getting up from his desk.

"Its Ginny, we were playing quidditch when Ginny suddenly fell off her broom."

"Is she okay?"

"We don't know. Harry stopped her from falling but she's unconscious"

"I'll be right there"

Ron pulled his head from the fire and looked at their clock. His, George, Charlie, Bill and Fred's hands were on home. Author's was on work, and as he watched it spun to travelling then onto home. Ginny's hand was on the border of home and mortal peril. Molly's hand was on shopping. Ron spun round and saw his dad standing behind him.

"This way dad. Harry put her on the sofa." Ron took Arthur to where Harry had put Ginny. Arthur came up to the sofa and checked Ginny over briefly.

"She needs to go to St Mungo's. I'll take her. Harry you can come to because you saved her. The rest of you stay here. Contact the order when Molly gats back and inform them of what's happened."

"Will do dad" said Charlie.

Harry picked up Ginny and carried her to the kitchen. Arthur took a pinch of flow powder and threw it into the fire

"St Mungo's hospital" said Harry. He then walked into the flames. Harry came out into a ornate hall. Just 30 seconds later Arthur appeared. Harry and Arthur walked up to the help desk.

"Can u help me? My daughter fell off her broom but didn't actually land on the ground because Harry here caught her. She now won't wake up"

"Do you know what caused this?" asked the help witch

"No" said Harry. "We were in the middle of a game of quidditch when she started to fall."

"Was she hit by a bludger?"

"No"

"Wait here. I'll go and find a healer" with that the witch disappeared. She reappeared a minute later with a healer.

"Can u explain to me exactly what happened in this game of quidditch?" asked the healer

"Ginny and I were the seekers. I tried to the wonski feint. Ginny pulled up early and started to speed to the other end of the pitch after the snitch. Just as I passed her she fell off her broom. The only thing that seemed odd was that when I was urging my broom to go faster it seemed as though I was as I as catching up with Ginny faster."

"Were you looking at Ginny the whole time?"

"No. I was looking a different way from the time she pulled up and the time I did."

"How long was that?"

"About 10 seconds."

"Enough time for Miss Weasley here to be hit by a curse." muttered the healer, "come this way"

"Thank you." Harry got up and started to pick up Ginny.

"Never mind that" the healer said as he got out his wand "Winggardium leviosa"

Ginny floated beside the Healer as the healer led them to a ward. He floated Ginny down onto a bed.

"Can you two wait outside while we check Miss Weasley please?" asked the healer as a group of healers went into the ward

"Sure" said Harry and Arthur together

Harry and Arthur went and sat outside the ward. The Healers were checking Ginny over for at least 1 hour.

"We found why Miss Weasley was unconscious. Were you at the ministry a few months ago with Miss weasley?" he asked Harry

"Yes. Why?"

"Miss Wealsey was hexed. Her external injuries healed but the internal ones hadn't quite healed. Luckily you brought her here now otherwise she might not have maked it. She should be healed by tomorrow afternoon but I do not know when she'll regain consciousness"

Harry and Arthur relaxed at this news.

"I must go and tell Molly the news" Arthur said as he got up.

"Can I stay with Ginny?" asked Harry

"I don't have a problem with that." The healer replied.

Harry stood up and walked into the ward. He sat down next to Ginny's bed.

The next morning…..

Harry stirred from the chair. He snapped open his eyes when he heard

"This way Mrs Weasley"

"Thank you" Mrs Weasley walked in to the ward. Mrs Weasley conjured up another chair and sat down with Harry next to Ginny's bed.

"You heard why Ginny collapsed?" asked Harry

"Yes. It was the incident at the Ministry wasn't it?"

Harry nodded. "I feel as though its my fault. If I hadn't gone Snuffles would still be alive and Ginny wouldn't be like this."

"It is not your fault Harry. Ginny told me that you tried to stop her from going to the ministry. I don't blame you for what happened. I blame you know who."

"Thank you Mrs Weasley."

The healer came over and asked "Do you mind if we check Miss Weasley's injuries?"

"No go right ahead" answered Mrs Weasley.

Harry and Mrs Weasley left the ward and waited outside.

Half an hour later the healer came back out.

"Miss Weasley's injuries are healed. She should regain consciousness in a few days."

"Thank you." Said Mrs Weasley, "You don't know how relieved I am." Mrs Weasley stood up. "I must be getting back to the others. Are you coming Harry?"

"No I would prefer to stay here with Ginny, so that if she wakes up she has someone to talk to."

"Ok then" Mrs Weasley left.

"Do you want anything to eat Mr Potter? I can get a house elf to get you something" asked the healer.

"Yes I would. Could I have a ham sandwich please?"

"I'll get a house elf to bring it."

"Thank you."

Harry returned to Ginny's bedside. Five minutes later a house elf appeared with Harry's sandwich.

"Thank you" said Harry to the elf. The elf bowed and backed out of the room. Harry finished the sandwiches and then slowly drifted off into sleep.

Later that week……

Ginny stirred and slowly opened her eyes. Where was she? She tried to get up but she didn't have the strength. A healer walked in and saw that Ginny was awake.

"Ah good morning Miss Weasley. How are you feeling?"

"Where am I?"

"You're in St. Mungo's"

"How long have I been here?"

"Nearly a week."

"The last thing I remember was playing quidditch"

"We know about that. It was thanks to Mr Potter that you were unhurt from falling from the broom"

"Harry? Where is he?"

"Asleep next to you in the chair. He didn't want to leave you."

Ginny looked over and saw that Harry was asleep.

"When will I be able to leave?" asked Ginny

"You should be able to leave at later in today."

"Thank you"

Ginny had a simple breakfast so she could get out of bed. Ginny put one foot out of bed, then the other. Ginny managed to stand up and walked a few steps.

"Do you want any help Ginny?"

Ginny turned round and saw Harry looking at her.

"Yes please Harry"

"It looks like the healing took a lot out of you" Harry got up and walked to Ginny's side. He helped her walk round the ward a couple of times to get the blood moving again. At Midday a healer came in.

"Miss Weasley you are allowed to leave as soon as I've done one final check" he said. Ginny was totally healthy.

"Before you leave Miss Weasley"

"Yes?"

"A letter cam for you" he said as he handed the letter to Ginny. Ginny opened it.

Ginny

When you get out of St. Mungo's we are staying at Sirius's

Dad

Harry and Ginny walked down to the ornate fireplace. Harry took a pinch of flow powder and through it in.

"The Burrow"

Harry and Ginny then stepped into the fire. Once back at The Burrow Harry took some more flow powder and through it into the fire

"No. 12 Grimmald Place"

Harry and Ginny stepped into the fire and disappeared from The Burrow.
