Chapter 3
Ginny slowly lifted her head. She could feel the weight of Tom's control on her finally lifting from her. She looked next to her and saw Harry barely holding himself up. He had the basilisk fang in one and the diary in another. His right arm was bitten by the basilisk. It was slowly decaying and his skin looked paler than she'd ever seen before. He looked dreadful.
"I'm sorry Ginny, I don't think I'll make it out" Harry croaked.
"You have to Harry please Harry!" Ginny pleaded.
"Ron shouldn't be far, go find him. Go Ginny."
"Not without you Harry you can't die, you can't! It should be me. It was my fault."
"It was Tom's fault Ginny. It's okay, I'll be with my family. Ginny go."
"Harry Potter you cannot die, I won't let you die."
Ginny ran to Harry's side, grabbed his falling body and pleaded with him, pleading with death.
"Take me take, he deserves to live." Ginny pleaded holding on to Harry's lifeless body.
Hogwarts Hospital Wing- Friday June 11th1993
"Take… me… Harry" Ginny screamed in her sleep. Feeling her turmoil Harry wrapped her into him and she calmed down and fell back into a peaceful sleep.
Unbeknown to the couple, Molly Weasley stood watching as her only daughter lay with nightmares, comforted by her husband. A small tear fell from her eye. Both pain, from losing her only daughter and youngest child so young, and pride, knowing she had someone to lean on and care for her at such a young age. She walked over to the pair, conjured up a chair and sat down and began knitting.
A few hours later the young couple stirred awake.
That was the best sleep I've ever had Ginny thought snuggling up to her pillow.
Ginny opened her eyes when she realized she was snuggled next to Harry Potter and her mum was sitting right there.
She jumped up and moved away from him.
Gin, I was comfortableHarry said, opening his eyes in shock.
"Mum, what are you doing here?" Ginny asked her face blushing Weasley red.
Mum? She saw us sleeping like that? Your brothers are going to kill me
They can't kill you you're my husband
Like that'll stop Ron, you saw the way he looked at us just holding hands
"It's quite alright dear. I've been here since seven this morning. It's almost nine now."
Who is this and what has she done to my mother?
"How are you two feeling this morning?"
"Really good Mum, do you think we can get some breakfast? I'm starving."
"Let me ask Poppy."
This is so… Ginny started to think
"…weird" Harry finished in agreement.
"Do you think…"He started
They'll notice that he finished these thoughts.
"I hope not, I kind of like having a secret"
Just us Harry thought
Just us
Ginny and Harry were given the all clear from Madam Pomfrey to leave the hospital wing. She just advised the couple to return if either of them felt ill. The couple walked together holding hands naturally. They let go as they approached the Great Hall. All eyes locked on them as they entered the Hall.
Is it like this for you all the time?
It's only this bad after I face old Voldy
Ginny chuckled out loud. Making their way to the Gryffindor table Harry sat between Ron and Hermione, and Ginny sat in front of Ron, between the twins. Ginny's siblings were blissfully unaware of her new status and bond to Harry. She had asked her mum to glamour her and Harry's marks until they could share what they meant to the rest of the family.
"Morning" Harry and Ginny said in unison as they sat and began filling their plates.
"I'm starving," Ginny said, piling food onto her plate.
I haven't eaten in two weeks
Don't try and eat two weeks' worth of food for breakfast Harry joked
Nah, in case it happens again I'll eat three week's worth Ginny smirked and looked up from her plate at Harry who shared a similar expression.
Better be careful, Mione's gonna figure us out before we have time to enjoy our secret Harry thought motioning his eyes to the right as he ate.
Keep the bond talk down around her
"Hermione, when did you wake up?" Harry asked, changing her attention from the pair.
"Only a few hours after the two of you were brought back from the Chamber."
"And she's already caught up in her classes, "Ron said, sounding annoyed. "She's refusing to be exempt from her exams! She's taking them with us!"
"I want top marks Ronald." Hermione said to him. The group continued talking amongst themselves.
Harry, Justin is walking to you
Harry turned around to see Justin Finch-Fletchely walking towards him.
"Hi Harry," Justin started, "I just wanted to say I'm sorry for accusing you of being the heir of Slytherin." Rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly he held out his hand for Harry to shake, and he did.
"It's okay Justin, we were all scared, no hard feelings."
"Thanks Harry, I'm glad to see you're out of the Hospital Wing. Thanks for kicking its ass too by the way. See you later."
"See you Justin."
Through the bond Harry could feel Ginny's tension.
Ginny what's wrong
Nothing Harry, I'm fine
Ginny you're not fine I can literally feel you being not fine
Stupid bond Ginny grumbled
"What did Justin want Harry?" Fred asked.
"Just to apologize for me being the heir of Slytherin."
It was all my fault
It was not Ginny, Tom took control of you
"I don't think I'm feeling too good, I'm gonna head back to the Hospital Wing." Ginny left in a hurry looking uneasy.
Ginny where are you going?
Ginny had blocked Harry from her mind and rushed through the castle. She wasn't sure where she was going, but she needed to get out. She headed outside towards Black Lake and sat crying under a tree.
Although Ginny had blocked him, Harry could still feel her presence. He excused himself from the table, and made his way to look for her. Hermione noticed their long pauses between conversations and their looks toward each other. She knew something was up, but she couldn't for the life of her figure out what it was. She decided to follow Harry, not believing either of their stories of being sick.
Harry walked without hesitation to Black Lake. He wasn't for sure if this is where Ginny was but it felt right. Sure enough he saw her beautiful red head pressed against the trunk of a tree. Did he just think that? That she was beautiful? He had never thought about her as more than Ron's sister, but she was so much more and thanks to the bond he could see that. Harry could hear her crying as he got closer. He knew she wasn't okay. He carefully sat down next to her placing his arm across her shoulder. She turned teary eyed to him and placed her head on his shoulder. Hermione watched the pair as they sat slightly looking out over Black lake.
Harry, I'm so sorry you're bonded to such a filthy person. I don't deserve someone like you to care for me Harry, I understand if you hate me, I do.
Ginvera Potter does not talk so little of yourself. You were under the control of a powerful evil force and you're still here to talk about it. You are brave and amazing and I'm the one who doesn't deserve you.
Harry you can't believe that
Gin I do. The bond has made it possible for me to see so much more of you and I understand your pain. I get it, you don't feel worthy, but you are. You have a family that cares for you and loves you unconditionally and you have me. You'll always have me Ginny. I know it'll take time for you to feel better about yourself and yourself worth, but I'll be here with you through it all.
Harry sat up looking at her deep in her eyes.
"I'll always be here "Harry said as he placed a sweet kiss on her lips. Hermione watched as a gold aura, much like that of the one in the Hospital Wing surrounded them until Harry broke the kiss.
I don't like it when you call me Ginvera, but I did like the Potter part
"It is your name now" Harry said, kissing her gently on the forehead and allowing her to place her head on his shoulder once more.
Thanks, Mr. Potter
Always, Mrs. Potter
