Chapter 28

St. Mungo's was just the same as Ginny remembered it, white and clean. It frightened her, but she kept walking in determination.

"What room is Harry Potter in?" She asked the little nurse curtly.

She looked up, her curls bouncing. "Harry Potter?" she chocked on her gum.

Ginny couldn't keep the annoyedness out of her voice. "Yes. Harry Potter, can you please close your mouth and try to act like a professional?"

She did close her mouth, and looked a bit hurt at the retort. Ginny felt a bit guilty. The girl who's name tag said, Sinthya, pulled out a large stack of papers and prounounced HARRY POTTER very clearly.

"Room 302." Sinthya nodded to Ginny.

Ginny looked at her and smiled a little. "I'm sorry."

The girl just nodded and Ginny began trudging to the elevator. She hated elevators, they were annoying contraptions that St. Mungo's had put in for the safety of their patients. Along with not being able to apparate directly into the building you must go up the elevators and threw the halls before you reached the patients. No one could get far when they were trying to harm a patient. Thinking in this way Ginny decided that elevators weren't that bad.

As she reached the 5th floor she walked swiftly to room 302. She pushed the door open without a thought and came face to face with a nurse, Kikki. She seemed to be leaving.

"I'm sorry," Ginny whispered, as if trying not to wake the patient (Harry up) but she really wouldn't have minded if she had. "Are their visitors allowed?"

Kikki smiled widely at Ginny, showing her nice white teeth. "Of course. He hasn't had any visitors... suprisingly enough..." she made a "tsk" sound and smiled at her again as she walked out.

Ginny walked up to the bed, seeing that Harry was asleep. She didn't notice anything wrong with him at first but then she saw his hands laying on the white sheet. The cuts looked as if someone had tried desperately to heal them, but nothing had worked. They showed the most on his hands and slowly grew less, until they stopped, a little above his elbow. He had a small cut on his cheek, but nothing else seemed to be wrong.

Ginny felt herself crying and would have began to sob if she hadn't remembered why she had come. She was angry... no... she was in love.

Judging by the fact that their weren't any presents, chocolates or flowers in the room, Ginny supposed that word hadn't gotten around about Harry being in the hospital.

Suddenly she heard some loud talking in the hall.

"You let someone in his room?"

"It was a woman."

"What the hell are you talking about, who cares if it was a woman? She could still kill him! It's Harry Potter we're talking about, let me in there!" she knew the voice to be Remus Lupin's, although it didn't sound a thing like him. He usually never swore or got angry.

"I have a feeling that she wants to talk to him alone." Kikki said firmly.

"You mean kill him alone!" Remus shrieked. Ginny almost laughed.

"Ginny..." she heard Harry whisper behind her, she turned to look at him, but saw that he was still asleep.

"I'm sorry, I just can't let you in... she seemed quite determined to see him." Kikki sounded quite determined as well.

"Any dark witch would be glad to be alone in a room with him, so they could kill him!" She heard Remus fumble with the locked door that could only be unlocked by Jinjer, or the people inside the room (Ginny and Harry).

"Ginny... don't leave me..." Harry moaned. Ginny stared at him in shock. He was talking in his sleep, about her. "... I'm dying... please don't leave me..."

Ginny stared at him in fright. What was he talking about.

"Forgive me Ginny..." She grabbed his hand impulsively, forgetting the deep cuts. He groaned and sat straight up in the bed, waking up, Ginny let go of his hand quickly. He looked at the room and finally at her. His eyes looked different, scared, scared to death.

He didn't look away from her for so long that it was making Ginny very nervous. Finally she pulled her wand out and said a spell in her mind to unlock the door. It swung open and Remus sprinted inside. He looked completely worried and then, as he saw Ginny, completely shocked.

"Ginevra... what are you doing here?" He asked.

She just stared at him.

"I'm sorry, darling," Kikki apologized. "I tried to keep him out."

"It's fine, thank you." Ginny said politely and stood up. "I shouldn't have come." she mumbled and walked quickly out of the room without another word, knowing that as usual, things were more complicated.
