Chapter 10
Harry stood the other side of the door for the long-term ward at St. Mungos. Harry knew from experience there were two main wards off this floor one was for mental illness and one for physical injuries. Harry thanked his lucky star for that. Spending his days listening to Lockhart talk about he can now do joined up writing was very trying when he felt 100% well. He hated the thought of putting Ginny in a place like that. He knew she was a very kind and loving person. He had spent years with her sleeping in same house as her, playing quidditch with her, Christmas and birthday not mention the time at Hogwarts.
The door creaked open a few inches and a face appeared at the door. The witch looked Harry up and down coldly. Harry managed to say,
"I have an appointment to see Ginny Weasley."
Without speaking she held put her hand for the appointment form. Harry handed he the form with a slightly shaking hand. She snatched it from him quickly and slammed the door on his face refusing him access until the witch in question had confirmed it with the other healers.
Harry could feel his anxiety getting the better of him. He closed his eyes and breathed in though this nose and out through his mouth. He thought to himself come on Harry pull yourself together it same girl back then just last time you saw each other she had a blade to your fiancé's throat. Before he could think of happier thoughts the door to the ward creaked open. He eyes snapped open at once and he was face with the same unpleasant women. She ordered sharply,
"Come!"
Harry slipped through the door pausing allowing the witch to lock the door behind him. He swallowed hard trying to keep his emotions and uneasy feeling at bay. Harry followed the healer as she marched on ahead. She turned off the main ward onto what Harry thought was a side ward but was pleasantly surprised to find a small but comfortable looking sitting room.
It was a square room with 4 soft looking armchairs and a sofa. A roaring fire was in the fireplace. There were a few wooden tables set you around the room with games set up on them. There were several doors off this same sitting room, Harry presumed they were to different part of the wards. The healer said sharply,
"Wait here, she will join you shortly."
The healer walked out the room without another glance in Harry's direction and slammed the door behind her. Harry sighed, it wasn't warm welcome he was hoping for. Maybe coming here wasn't his brightest idea after all. He knew Hermione and Luna had both visited a few times he should have asked them more question of how well Ginny was doing.
The clock in the corner of the round clicked loudly driving Harry mad, He wanted to hex it clean off the wall, but it was not the clocks fault he thought bitterly it was his guilt creeping up for leave Ginny in here without visiting for so long.
The was a creaking sound at the door slid open and two women appeared. The first dressed in the usual healer robes, her long sleek dark brown hair tied up in a bun and too much make up to be attractive. She stepped aside and led Ginny Weasley into the room.
She stood there for a moment without looking. Harry held his break unsure if Ginny was going turn and walk away or throw the first object she came in contact with. She did nothing but just stare at Harry. He stared back at her unable to break the eye contact. He had noticed that she had lost weight on her face and had a considerably large bump in front her with 8 weeks to go till she gave birth to twins. Harry never witnessed pregnancy or births before other then Hermione (He was not present at the birth) he was unsure if that was small for twins.
Her red hair was still as bright as ever, a little limp around her pale skin but was a fiery as ever in the light. Her natural brown eyes were slightly glassy and unfocused. It must be the potion Harry had thought to himself. She stood there still as a statue it freaked Harry out so see her just staring unblinking at him. He swallowed nervously trying to steady his breathing.
The healer whispered something to Ginny's ear she responded by bowing her head and walking more like waddling towards a near chair and sitting down gently. The healer took one next to her and indicated for Harry take the one opposite the pair of them.
They sat in silence for a full ten minutes before The healer said to Ginny sweetly,
"Ginny dear, Harry come to see you why don't you say hi."
Ginny said emotionally,
"Hello, Harry."
He said back quietly,
"Hello, Ginny, How are you?"
Ginny replied,
"I feel great thank you"
Harry did not like way Ginny was answering it was like speaking to an emotionless robot even worst then Draco when he was being stubborn. The glassiness of her brown eyes was stopping him from seeing her truth emotions.
The healer stood you and answered,
"I have to go and check on something I'll be back shortly if you need me press the panic button."
Harry nodded, and she left the room. He stood up and crouch in front of Ginny and whispered,
"What are they done to you, I need to speak to the real you."
Ginny blinked, her eye glassiness wore off a moment she whispered,
"Harry?"
he smiled warmly and whispered,
"I'm here Gin, what have they done to you?"
Ginny smiled before the mist covered her eyes leaving the emotional robot in place of the girl he once knew.
No, he thought I need to get the information out of her. He called little louder,
"Ginny Please!"
She turned her head from side to side like trying to shake something off and reopened her yes and said very quietly,
"They are watching and listening to us they think I'm emotionally unstable. Why are you here? Thought you wanted Malfoy in your bed."
Harry answered quieter still remembering what she said about they were listening,
"Ginny I've been worried about you, I thought this might be place you needed for help. I'm here for you and the babies. You wrote asking for me to see you. I am still with Draco but your important to me too."
Harry looked onto her brown eyes. They kept focused on him this time. Harry noticed the hurt in her eyes are the mentioned of Draco, but she didn't push him away or throw anything or scream. She answered,
"Why would you want to see me when you have such a perfect life out there?"
Harry smiled and replied,
"It far from perfect, I wanted to know how you and the twins were."
Ginny took down at his hand that was rest of her shoulder noticing the engagement ring. She commented,
"You marrying Malfoy that why you're here isn't it."
Harry sighed, he slide the ring into his pocket and replied,
"Yes I am but that not why I'm here Ginny I'm here to see how you're getting on I been applying for visitation rights to see you for ages they kept getting denied."
Ginny replied,
"We are all getting on well thank you. I've been told if I keep progressing this way I will get to go to Ron and Hermione's wedding under supervision."
Harry smiled his heart skipped a beat that Ginny might be out around the time she gave birth. Draco wouldn't be so happy to hear that.
Harry answered,
"That great news Gin, do you know what you're having."
Ginny replied,
"They think could be boy and a girl who one could be late developing and could end up being two boys have to wait and see."
The healer reappeared before Harry could response he quickly let go at once standing up quickly. She smiled and sat back down next to Ginny handing her a potion. She drank it without any protest. When Harry and turned back to Ginny she was back to her emotionless robot state.
The healer announced,
"Sorry but It's almost dinner time and we ask visitors to leave a dinner time."
Harry nodded in agreement and understanding.
Harry gathered his cloak to leave the room after he had hugged Ginny goodbye and promised to visit soon. The healer waited for Ginny to be out of ear shot before she turned back to Harry and asked,
"Are you the father of her twins?"
Harry nodded. The healer sighed and replied,
"Have you got their room set up?"
Harry looked confused and opened his mouth the question further when the healer sighed and began talking,
"You haven't been told have you? The twins cannot stay here. They will need be removed from her soon as she given birth for their own protection. They will be visiting your house to assure you have everything 2 weeks prior to their birth. Gooday Mr Potter."
She walked away before he was able answer back of if this was a wise idea and he was quickly being ushered out the doors at the other end of the ward by the unhappy healer he had to injure on the way to the sitting room.
Harry thought as door slammed shut on him this wasn't his day. Now not only had he got to explain Ginny was going to be returning at Ron and Hermione's wedding but also their children would be living permanently instead of shared responsibility until she was allowed to leave this hell hole also known as St. Mungos.
Why did everything have to come crashing down every time he got happy?
