CHAPTER 10: So close
Anna woke up to the same blinding light. She saw Madam Pomfrey come out of her office.
"Madam Pomfrey?" She called. Madam Pomfrey turned and asked, "yes?"
"Uh, thankyou for attending to me, but how much longer do I have to stay here?" Anna asked hopefull.
" A few more days deary." She replied as she went out the door. Anna just groaned and dropped her head into her pillow.
She heard a knock at the door and seeing as it was just her in there she said, "come in!" The door opened and out popped a frizzy brown head.
"HERMIONE!" Anna yelled excitedly, she sat up in her bed and motioned for Hermione to come over. Hermione put the cards and flowers on her night stand and gave her a hug.
"Oh! It's so good to see you!" Anna said happily, if it wasn't for her sore ribs she would be jumping up and down right now. She's had visitors since her dad, but she's been having nightmares. The nurse gave her a deamless sleep potion that knocked her out and she hasn't been able to visit them when she's awake.
"Oh, I know, we miss you!" Hermione agreed, Anna laughed.
" I can see that!" She replied smiling, indicating towards the cards and candies.
"How are you?" Hermione asked observing the bandage on her head, and the cut under her right eye.
"Oh, just a few bruises." Anna replied, Hermione looked at her with a raised eyebrow, "and?" She pressed on, " a severe head cut, and a few broken ribs." She said in one breath.
Hermione just shook her head and sighed, "Harry feels awful about this, you know."
" Why? I was the one who went!" Anna said outraged.
Hermione nodded and said, " he saw the tear stains on the note, Anna." She gave another sigh, " he thinks if Ginny hadn't made you mad, you wouldn't have gone." Anna just looked away.
Hermione looked at her concerned, " Is that true, Anna? Did the insult upset you that much?" She asked putting a hand on her shoulder.
Anna sighed and looked at Hermione very seriously, "Hermione, do you remember when I saw your nightmare?" Hermione nodded with a slight blush.
" Remember you asked me to keep a secret for you, a 'special' kind of secret?" Anna finished. Hermione nodded. "Can you keep one for me?"
Hermione nodded and said, " yes, promise. " She said confidently.
Anna took a breath and started, " It's not what Ginny said that bothered me, it's what she did afterwards." Hermione knitted her brow in concentration, trying to remember, then a look of understanding came across.
"She kissed him." Hermione whispered, as if afraid to say it loud.
Anna nodded, " It hurt, alot, have you ever seen Ron with someone and you felt so depressed?" She asked. Hermione nodded remembering Lavender flirting with him.
Just then the door opened and Harry, Ron, and Neville came in. Hermione jumped a little, but Anna kept her cool demeanor.
"Look who's up!" Shouted Harry. He sat down on the end of her bed and said, "why it's sleeping beauty herself!" Anna turned a slight pink and mumbled something about stupid fairy tales.
"So why are you boys here?" Asked Hermione, noticing Anna's changing color.
"Well," Ron chimed in," we were in the nieghboor hood, so we thought we should visit Anna, and guess who we ran into!" He said with fake surprise.
"Ron needed help on his homework and Harry wanted to visit Anna, so Harry dragged Ron down here." Neville said in one breath.
" NEVILLE!" Yelled Ron in a whiny voice.
" What I can't lie." Neville said quietly. Hermione and Anna giggled, " Well why are you here?" Asked Ron.
Neville took out a colorfull card out of his robe pocket, "oh, uh, I came here to give Anna a get well card." He mumbled.
"Awww," Replied Anna, " how sweet, thankyou Neville!" She said as she gave him a hug.
When Anna gave Neville a hug, Harry felt something in his chest flame up, and for some reason he wanted to take his broom stick and whack him with it. As soon as they let go he shook his feelings away.
"It was Harry's idea, anyways." Neville said as he turned to Harry. For some reason Harry felt proud of Neville.
"Awwww," smirked Anna, " did Harry miss me?" Anna asked as if talking to a five year old, Harry played along and shook his head while pretending to fiddle with his hands.
Anna giggled and gave Harry a warm hug. The fire that he felt before rekindled, giving him a warm feeling. As soon as she let go, coldness flooded back in.
Hermione stood up, " well let's go and study Ron, Neville come with us so Harry can visit." The other two boys nodded and the three of them made thier way to the common room.
" Thanks for coming Harry, I, uh, I'm sorry." Anna said in a small voice.
Harry looked confused, " sorry about what?" He asked.
Anna looked up in surprise, " for not listening to you, I thought you would've been mad. "
Harry shookd his head, " It's alright, it's kind of hard to be mad at a friend who's sitting in the Hospital Wing."
Anna smiled but inwardly frowned, friend, oh how she hated that word at the moment. 'He has a girlfriend anyways.' She thought sadly.
Anna sat up further and tried to adjust her pillows, having no luck.
Harry noticed and jumped in, " oh, let me help you with that." He said.
Harry leaned over Anna and put his hands on either side of her pillow and fluffed it. He needed to fix the second one so he leaned in further, by the third pillow they were almost touching nose to nose.
Harry leaned back just a little, and said " there you go." As he looked at her face he went from her dark cinnamon eyes, to her slightly blushing cheecks, to her full red lips. Anna was stared at his emerald eyes, she looked down and back up trying not to get lost in his sparkling eyes, but failing miserably.
They seemed to be frozen in place looking at one another until Anna broked the silence and whispered a small, 'thankyou'. Harry replied, " your welcome," he said in a husky voice, his breath tickiling her nose.
They simultaneously closed thier eyes and slowly leaned into one another until.
"Visitng hours are over!" Madam Pomfrey called coming through the door, Harry jumped away and picked at his robe.
"I-I'll see ya l-later?" He asked nervously.
Anna nodded and smoothed out imaginary wrinkles on her bed, "s-sure ya, great." She replied.
They both nodded and Harry quickly, but not very gracefully, left through the door and made his way to the common room.
Anna sighed and flopped down on her pillow tiredly, she had so many confusing thoughts in her head. She gave up on sanity about five minutes later, and slipped into a dream about a certian green-eyed boy.
Harry arrived at the Fat Lady, " password?" She asked. Harry seemed to have other things on his mind, "PASSWORD?" The lady huffed. " Oh!" he said coming out of his revier, "uh sorry, unity." He said and the door swings open.
Harry comes stumbling in to see Ginny Weasley kissing a boy whose name is not Harry Potter!
