It didn't take long for Ginny to come up with many different plans to get herself busted out of the hospital, plans that Hermione showed her were all flawed.

"Then what am I going to do?" Ginny asked exasperated.

"Ginny I think it's best if you just stay here, and let Lupin and Blaise sort things out with the ministry, besides I think I should go get a healer and tell them you're awake," Hermione said as she watched Ginny pace around the room.

"Hermione what would you do if it were Blaise in Azkaban?" Ginny asked.

Hermione tensed slightly before she replied calmly, "Blaise? Why would it matter if Blaise were in Azkaban?"

"I've seen the way you look at each other," Ginny responded.

Hermione didn't say anything as she pursed her lips and looked down at her hands.

"Ginny, you're under a lot of stress, I'm going to go get a Healer," Hermione said, rising up from her chair as she left the room.

"What if you were in love with Harry?" Luna asked as soon as Hermione was gone.

"What?" Ginny asked shocked.

Had Luna been absent the whole time? Was she forgetting that she just admitted to being in love with Draco

"Your in love with Harry," Luna responded

"Luna-"

"Ginny shut up," Luna snapped.

Ginny sat there shocked and closed her mouth, she had never head Luna address anyone like this before.

"If you loved Harry, if you could convince him that you loved him and didn't love Draco, you could convince him that Draco was innocent and to get him released from Azkaban," Luna said with a shrug of her shoulders.

"Luna you're brilliant!" Ginny gushed as she hopped off the bed and ran to hug her friend.

"I can tell Ron that you woke up, and that you've been asking for Harry. He would leave the Ministry, it's his hero concept that's keeping him there, and not by your hospital bed."

"All I have to do is pretend to be in love with Harry. Once I get him to release Draco and clear his name I can tell Harry it was a lie!" Ginny grinned, laughing with relief.

"No," Luna replied confused. "If you go back on your word once Draco is free, Harry could convince the ministry that he's put you under the imperius curse," Luna said with a shake of her head. "Ginny, you have to make Harry believe you love him, you have to show him that you don't care for Draco even after he's released," Luna said starring hard at her friend.

"For how long?" Ginny asked, unsure if she could follow through with this plan.

"Ginny you don't understand most of the death eaters that were caught have already gotten the kiss. The only reason Draco hasn't is because the Order is fighting for him. Lupin and your family claimed that you informed them you were playing double agent. There wasn't very many people to vouch for Draco."

"The Ministry was all in with Voldemort they aren't one to talk!" Ginny cried as the tears came once again.

"Ginny the chances of Draco getting released from Azkaban are very thin, actually they're impossible unless you can convince Harry," Luna said sympathetically.

"Do you love him?" Luna asked raising an eyebrow.

"Yes, more than anything." Ginny replied without hesitation.

"Then you can do this," Luna encouraged.

"Miss Weasley you're awake!" A healer cried as she Hermione and two other healers walked into the room.

Ginny shot a panicked look at Luna, and Luna nodded her head slightly.

"Where's Harry?" Ginny asked panicked.

"Harry?" Hermione asked confused, afraid her friend was going to confront him about Draco.

"Harry Potter?" The Healer asked.

"I want to see my boyfriend this instant someone go get Harry Potter!" Ginny screamed.

Luna just winked at Ginny before turning to the healers.

"I think you should go fetch Harry Potter."


It didn't take long for news to reach Harry that Ginny was asking for him. In less than an hour Harry apparated to St. Mungos.

"Ginny?" Harry asked quietly, hesitant to approach her.

"Harry where have you been?" Ginny asked.

Luna's words danced around in Ginny's head.

'the chanced of Draco getting released from Azkaban are very thin, actually they're impossible unless you can convince Harry.'

The best way to pretend to be in love with Harry was to pretend he was Draco.

"I woke up and you weren't here, I was so worried," Ginny added as she starred into his bottle green eyes.

"Oh Ginny, you have no idea how worried I've been. I tried to tell everyone that there was no way you could love Malfoy," Harry spat the last word like it was dirt in his mouth and he took the chair by her bed that Luna had previously occupied.

"Harry you don't understand though Dr-"Ginny started to protest without thinking.

"No shh Ginny, it's okay I know that Malfoy had you under the Imperius curse. I don't blame you for anything, I forgive you," Harry said as grabbed her hand, and placed it between his sweaty ones.

It took everything in Ginny for her not to snap at Harry. How dare he make it seem like she was begging for his forgiveness! Not everything was about the bloody boy-who-lived-to-be-self-absorbed! Did he not realise how conceited he sounded? Ginny took a deep breath to calm her nerves and to find an approached to save Draco that would prove she didn't care for him.

"Harry, I was working as a double agent, and I had to work with Malfoy. As hard as it is for us to believe Malfoy turned out to be a good guy," Ginny said, trying to convince Harry.

He didn't seem convinced to Ginny added. "I was in love with you- I do love you, and when you were with Hermione I panicked. I wanted you to love me, so I decided to play double agent. I guess I played my part to well because I think he truly believed I was in love with him, but my heart belongs to only one person," Ginny finished starring at Harry.

A small grin spread across Harry's face as he leaned in to kiss her. Ginny tensed at first, but let him kiss her and half-heartedly kissed back. Everything about his lips felt wrong they were too big, and to wet, and much too soft.

"I love you Ginny, you know that right?" Harry said as he pulled away. "I know I might not have showed it before, but in a way I've always loved you, and Ron told me to stay away from you, that he didn't want his best mate with his little sister. But you don't know how hard it is to stay away from something you love," Harry sighed as he leaned his forehead against Ginny's.

Ginny said nothing, Harry was right about one thing, she didn't know what it was like to stay away from something you loved, but she was learning.

After a few uncomfortable minutes of silence with Harry leaning over her, Ginny shifted her position so that she was facing him.

"Harry, Hermione and Luna said that Lupin and Blaise are down at the Ministry." Ginny said slowly as she watched as Harry's eyes narrowed at the mention of Blaise.

"Yes?" Harry asked unsure of where Ginny was going.

"Well is it true Dr-Malfoy is in Azkaban?" Ginny asked with a blank face.

"Yes," Harry grinned, encouragingly, as if Ginny wanted reassurance her, that her kidnapper was gone.

"Harry, that hardly seems fair he never wanted to be a death eater from the start, he may be a Malfoy but he did stand up for me while we were there. I never would have pulled off being a double agent if it weren't for him," Ginny said, hoping Harry would believe her.

"I know that now, and I'm sorry," Harry said with a small frown.

"I think it's only fair if you had him released," Ginny said.

"So he could come crawling back and try and sweep you off your feet?" Harry asked narrowing his eyes.

"I told you my heart belongs to one person," Ginny said as she reached for Harry's hand, and gave it a squeeze.

"Will you come with me?" Harry asked as he searched her face for a reaction.

"Of course," Ginny replied. She wanted nothing more than to see Draco.

"I want him to see you with me, to see how much in love we are. So that he'll know everything between you two was an act. I need you to tell him that," Harry said as his eyes searched her face for a reaction.

Ginny was shocked, how could Harry make her do that? Why would Harry make he do that? She knew he hated him, but this was going too far. She was disgusted with him, but a bigger part was disgusted with herself for having spent so many years pinning after a boy who was so cruel.

"Ginny?" Harry asked as he stroked her face with hands that felt wrong and unfamiliar.

"Okay," Ginny said meeting Harry's gaze and smiling.

"I'm going to go get a healer to clear you," Harry grinned, turning to leave.

Ginny smiled, encouragingly at him, before he retreated.

Ginny felt like she would be doing that a lot, smiling, even when she was dying inside.
