Ginny was sitting beside Harry's bed in the hospital wing. She'd been there all afternoon since he had fallen and she had somehow pushed her broom to breaking point. Once she had hit the ground and had Harry's unconscious figure in her arms, her broom had split up the tail end and was now un-fly-able, but she didn't care. Her concern was only for Harry's life. He'd been unconscious for three hours since the game, and herself, Ron and Hermione were watching over him.

When Professor Dumbledore had been there, he had informed Ginny that he had placed an enchantment on Harry when his body was falling, which would somehow protect him when landing. But the professor had said that Harry would still have been severely injured and it was only thanks to Ginny that this didn't happen. The enchantment wasn't one hundred percent guaranteed to work, especially if Professor Dumbledore hadn't aimed properly and missed.
When he'd told her this, Ginny had shivered at the idea of Harry's life ending because of a dementor. Dumbledore had left after the first hour of waiting because he was determined to discover why the dementor's had been in the grounds in the first place. Ginny was curious to know too.

The team had also been in here within the first hour before Madame Pomfrey had showed them out with as much vigor and protest as she always did. Wood had congratulated her with a handshake and said, "Well done Ginny! I'm so impressed you flew that fast on a Shooting Star! I didn't think it was humanly possible." Even Angelina had approached her embarrassedly and muttered, "You're really good, Ginny. I'm so glad you were playing. I don't know if I could have done that. Your reflexes are unbelievable!" Ginny blushed at her praise as she pulled her aside from the group and told her profusely, "I'm so, so sorry that Malfoy said those horrible things to you. I was so embarrassed. And you must please know that there is nothing going on romantically between me and Harry. He's seen me play before, last year, and I can guess that's the only reason he suggested me to Oliver over anyone else." Angelina was shaking her head before Ginny was even done and she grinned, "I don't believe a word Malfoy says, don't worry Ginny. I'm not that naïve! Besides which you earned your place up there. We witnessed that, and he didn't. That's his problem. I also think you're wrong."

Ginny frowned at the last statement, "What about?" Angelina grinned like a Chesire Cat and giggled, "About a romantic interest. Maybe it's not coming from your side, but I think it's almost definitely coming from Harry's side. Also judging by the way you took off so quickly and nearly risked your own life to save him, I would say the attraction is mutual." At this, Ginny was speechless, and she wasn't someone who became speechless often-except maybe sometimes around Harry. Angelina had laughed at her daft expression and she had winked at Ginny before returning to Harry's bedside.
Now all Ginny could think about was that conversation. She couldn't believe that Angelina thought that of the both of them, and she didn't peg Angelina as the romantic type. Hermione interrupted her thoughts to say, "I can't believe he hasn't woken up yet. I mean he's been in comas before, but not this long." Ron took her hand in his and squeezed it tightly, "It will be okay Hermione. Harry's a strong guy. He can get through this, no problem." Hermione bit her lip and shrugged before asking, "Hey Ginny, you were amazing! I can't thank you enough for getting to him that fast!" Ginny smiled half heartedly and replied, "I'm just glad I did."
Silence washed over all of them again until another hour passed. Finally Harry was stirring out of his slumber and they all jumped up around him. Harry groaned and stretched his arms stiffly before noticing all of them surrounding him. He jumped in surprise and stretched for his glasses, which Hermione had had to repair. He placed them on and sighed, "Back here again?" Ron nodded and grinned, "It's your home away from home Harry!" Hermione elbowed and said irritably, "Ron! That's so insensitive! He's not up for teasing!" But Harry grinned at Ron in return.

Ginny whispered quietly, "How are you feeling Harry?" Harry turned to her as he thought about it, "So so, just a bit drowsy." That's when Madame Pomfrey bustled in and told them, "Alright you lot better head down for dinner. Visiting hours are over." The three groaned in protest but she shoved them out of the room and sent a patronus charm in the direction of Professor Dumbledore's office. Her patronus was an otter.

Once the doors had been closed behind them, Ron asked, "Do you think we should have told him about his broom?" Ginny shook her head and Hermione replied at the same time, "No. He'd be devastated. We need to tell him what exactly happened first before we jump the gun." Ginny nodded and replied, "Right. He needs to be told with perspective. Otherwise he will be all moody." Ron shook his head, "I know. I just feel so bad for him. He prized that broom almost as much as the invisibility cloak."

Hermione shrugged and changed the topic as they walked towards the dining hall, "So Gin, what was Angelina speaking to you about earlier?" Ginny did a double take and stopped mid-step before recovering herself and replied, "Uh…um it was just about Draco Malfoy and I apologized for what he said to because it was so rude and I felt guilty about it." Hermione nodded and frowned suspiciously, "Anything else you spoke about?" Ginny tried to act casually as she replied, "Nooo, what else would we talk about?" Hermione shrugged her shoulders but glanced at Ginny suspiciously. Ginny refused on principle to discuss what Angelina had said in front of her brother. Ron had become annoyingly protective since the Chamber of Secrets. She had thought she'd wanted her brothers to show more interest in her life at the time, but now she was realizing that that wish was entirely wrong.

When they entered the Great Hall for dinner, a round of applause went up and the team members were cheering for her. Fred and George were clapping the loudest and chanting:

Ginny saved the Chosen One

And although we never won

Her savior was a victory

So we need none!

Ginny found herself laughing as Colin joined in the chant, and eventually the entire house was clapping and chanting for her. Ginny just stood there in awe, speechless for the second time that day. It was more than she could have ever imagined! As her housemates congratulated her one by one, she was beginning to feel slightly embarrassed. When she turned around after all the cheering had settled, she realized that Ron and Hermione had gone.

Author's Note: I decided to post two chapters today as I have hardly posted this weekend. Another reason is because I will be starting lectures tomorrow and so I may not have time to post then, but you can definitely expect another chapter on Tuesday!
