Chapter 11
St. Mungo's Hospital
"No George. I am not leaving Ron or Ginny here. I can't. It's too much like giving up. I won't leave." Harry protested. Hermione planted her feet to the ground as George tried to pull her away from the burrow. "I- am- not- leaving- with- out- them!" Hermione struggled. "Please. If you get out of here I can get them out faster. I can persuade Mum to let me watch them and I will get them out of here! Now go!" George demanded. Silence. "Please! My plan won't work if you two are here!" Harry and Hermione were not pleased at all, but disapperated into Harry and Ginny's little blue house in Godric's Hollow.

"Good job Georgie. Now, I am tired. So can I trust you to watch your siblings and make sure they don't wake up? You'll mostly have to watch Ronald. He isn't poisoned, only put to sleep until his body has had enough rest. Now go please." Mrs. Weasley said. So George walked up to Ron's bedroom, where Ginny and Ron were. He shut the door and ran to his brother's side. He shook him. "Ron! Wake up you lousy git!" George whispered. After a few moments, his brother woke up. "Listen, before you say anything. I need your help. I'll get Ginny, but you have to disapperate all of us to Harry and Ginny's house or where ever you are staying. No time to argue! I am on your side. Now hurry before someone comes in here!" George said. Ron was concentrating as hard as he could, and a few moments later they were in the living room of Harry and Ginny's house. George put Ginny gently on the couch. Then there were loud clunks coming from the stairway. Harry and Hermione came rushing into the room. Harry ran to Ginny's side and looked at her pale, unconscious face. Hermione almost jumped on top of Ron hugging him. Harry looked at his wife and lightly shook her shoulder. She did not wake. Harry tried multiple times to wake her, but no results. "Guys, I really think we need to go to St. Mungo's." Harry said to George, Ron, and Hermione. Everyone walked to the couch and looked at Ginny. "Let's go. Who knows what kind of poison Mum put in her drink?" George said. Harry picked Ginny up and told everyone to disapperate to the lobby of St. Mungo's. Harry held Ginny for support and he they went through the tube without air. Then he was in the lobby of St. Mungo's hospital. Shortly after, Ron, Hermione, and George were next to him. Harry and the others walked to the front desk and asked for assistance immediately. Fortunately, there was no wait. Ginny was put in a room on the 4th floor. Ron, Hermione, Harry, and George were not allowed to be in the room when tests were being taken. So they went to the tea room and got some butterbeer. "I really really hope it isn't that bad." Hermione stated. "Well, it is probably something simple but effective. You know Mum; she wouldn't permanently damage her one and only daughter. And plus, Ginny's tough." George responded. Ron agreed. But Harry didn't say a thing. "Harry, I'm sure she'll be okay." Hermione said softly. Harry looked at his friends. "I'm going for a walk. I'll meet you back here or at Ginny's room." Harry got up and walked back down the hall to Ginny's hospital room. When he was about to push the door open, he was knocked right out of the way. Workers with blue outfits on went rushing into the room. Harry tried to go inside again, but a man came out and said, "I am sorry Mr. Potter, but Ginevra is in surgery right now. We found out what poison she was given. It was a substance that severely damages the memory. It will make her forget events that happened within the last three years. But we are trying to remove the potion before it starts to affect her." Harry's became numb. "Wait. It hasn't affected her yet? And is there anything I can do to make sure the surgery goes right?" Harry asked urgently. "No. The poison she was given doesn't act up until the 3rd day after she drank it. And for now, she just needs your hopes and prayers." said the worker. Then the man proceeded back into the room. Harry sunk down into a chair next to the door. Forget everything in the last three years? Wait. That means… oh no! She won't remember us together, at all! No! This has to work. She won't remember our first kiss, us being together, Ron bursting into her room earlier this year, the battle at Hogwarts, us running away or… or us getting married! Harry buried his face in his hands. "No." he said aloud. Hermione, Ron, and George came down the hall and saw Harry. "Harry, what's going on? Are you okay?" Hermione asked. Harry told them everything he knew about what was happening. Hermione started to cry and Ron put his head in his hands just as Harry did. "I am gonna go back to the tea room." said George. Harry sunk back down into his chair. Please, please be okay. He thought.
A few hours later the same man who told Harry the situation walked out of the room. Harry, Ron, Hermione, and George sprung from their seats. "What's happening? Did the surgery go okay? Is she awake? Does she remember the past three years? Is-" Harry began. The man cut him off and said, "Mr. Potter calm down. The surgery went fine. But she might not remember the last day or so. She is awake, but only one of you can go in at a time." Everyone looked at Harry. "Alright Mr. Potter, you can go in first. Proceed please." said the man. Harry slowly walked into the room. He walked to Ginny's side and looked at her. She coughed. Harry sat in a chair next to the bed. He took her hand and said, "How are you feeling?" Ginny looked extremely tired. "It's not the best time I've ever had but I'm hanging in." Ginny said softly. "No one will tell me what's going on. How did I get here and why?" Harry kissed and then hugged her. He told her the whole story. And even at the unbelievable parts, she didn't interrupt. Once he was done with the story, she slowly sat up in the bed. "Well I can't say I didn't see this coming. But now we're definitely not getting finance from them anytime soon." She said with a grin. Harry smiled and hugged her again. "I am so glad your okay." He said. "Yeah well now I just wanna go home." said Ginny.
