An Unbearable Vision
A few hours later Harry woke up and Ginny was sitting by his side. She had fallen asleep and she had her head really close to his. Harry shivered slightly at her proximity. Seeing her like that, so peaceful so beautiful he couldn't resist touching her face. Ginny slowly opened her eyes and smiled at him.
"Hey Harry!" Harry wondered if she had felt his touch.
"Hello Ginny! What time is it?" he said rubbing his eyes.
"Dinner time, I hope. I'm starving."
"Me too. " Harry looked around and he saw that Luna was still unconscious.
"Is she..."
"She's all right Harry. She's just resting. She woke up right after you fell asleep. Madame Pomfrey says she's going to be fine." Harry sighed in relief "She says we can leave the nursery tomorrow but Luna will have to stay a little longer."
"At least her condition has improved a little."
"Yes, and I'm sure she's going to be fine. Hermione was here when you were asleep, you know? I wanted to wake you but she didn't let me. She said that you needed to rest and that there was plenty of time to talk to you after your health was restored." Harry was a little upset. He really wanted to talk to her, he wanted to know exactly what had happened but now he was gonna have to wait until the next morning.
"Ginny?"
"Yes, Harry?"
"Do you have any idea how Dumbledore knew we were in trouble?" Ginny smiled tenderly at him.
"Yes, I do. I heard his conversation with Madame Pomfrey when we were brought back here. Apparently Dumbledore was in the Great Hall making the last arrangements for the students' arrival when a white Owl fell at his feet, apparently the poor creature had fainted of exhaustion."
"A white Owl? You mean..."
"Yes, it was Hedwig, of course. She flew to the Castle as fast as she could to warn Dumbledore and he recognized her at first sight, immediately knowing that we were in danger."
"Great man Dumbledore."
"He is indeed." said Ginny in agreement.
A few minutes later Dobby, Winky and three other house-elves brought them their food and they realized that they were starving.
"Harry Potter Sir!" said Dobby enthusiastically.
"Dobby! Winky! How are you?" and while Harry and his friend chewed the wonderful food that the house-elves had brought them, Dobby told Harry how happy he was at Hogwarts and even Winky seemed much more acquainted with her new life.
Dobby was dressed as peculiar as usual. He was wearing a red pullover and lilac trousers, a green hat and two different socks. One was blue and the other one was orange. Winky on the other hand was quite normally dressed" Harry thought "She was wearing a pink blouse as a dress and her pink socks matched.
When they had finished their meal Madam Pomfrey send the house-elves away and they were left alone for about half an hour, while she went to see the Headmaster. They talked about what had happened and Harry told Ron that Hermione had been there when they were resting. Ron was very upset by the fact that she hadn't wanted to wake him. He wanted to see her, to speak with her. She had no idea how much she had hurt him by doing so.
When Ron fell silent Ginny came to sit next to Harry and he was completely absorbed by her. Her soft flowery aroma filled his senses. That fragrance was so pleasant, so warm. He was completely impregnated by it. It completed him in a way that was beyond any logical explanation.
He closed his eyes and let her voice run freely through him. She had the sweetest voice he had ever heard. She was the sweetest person he had ever met. He opened his eyes and when he dived into hers he realized that he loved her more then he loved himself, that there would be no one else for him. Ginny Weasley was the girl he would forever love.
Suddenly his scar was burning and he felt like his head was about to explode. He looked at Ginny, his eyes were filled with terror.
"What is it Harry? Are you ok?" Harry felt sickened. He knew, the Dark Lord knew. With all that frenzy he had forgotten all about occlumency and now he was aware of his feelings for Ginny. His heart bled as an image of her mangled body assaulted his mind. He felt an indescribable pain.
"Stop!" he cried "I won't let you." Ginny tried to calm him down but he was too agitated.
A terrible laughter was heard and Harry knew how much Voldemort was enjoying all that. Ginny was laid on the floor and her blood was soaking her clothes. Her eyes were wide open and Harry felt like he was burning inside.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Harry opened his eyes. Ron, Neville and Ginny were looking at him completely astonished. He was soaked in sweat and his body was shivering. He looked at Ginny and she couldn't bear the angst that she saw in his eyes. Crying silently she swept her arms around him and she kissed him.
Harry felt as he was being lifted. Her kiss was soft and tender and he felt a strange but yet pure happiness he had never felt before. She loved him. Ginny loved him.
His scar ached again and he remembered what he had seen in his mind just a few minutes ago. He could not let that happen. He gathered all his strength and he pushed her away.
"Don't!" he said and she looked at him as if he had slapped her.
"We can't. I can't." her eyes were filled with tears when she left the nursery running, taking half of Harry's heart with her without even knowing. He had broken her heart but he had completely shattered his own.
He had never thought someone could feel that way without being physically injured. Hurting her was an unbearable pain but it had to be done. Staying with him would lead her to a painful death. He knew it. He had seen it in his mind.
