Chapter 12
New House, Old House.
"I am sorry Mrs. Potter. You cannot go home until we can be sure all of the poison is out of you." said the main doctor. Ginny was not pleased. "How long will that take?" she asked with a frown. The doctor said a week or so, and then he walked out. "Ginny they only want to make sure your okay." said Hermione. Ginny gave Hermione a look. "Hermione, I absolutely hate hospitals! They just creep me out. And why can't they make sure I don't have any poison in me now?" Ginny said harshly. Ron rolled his eyes and told Ginny to be grateful she is okay. "They can't check you now because your body is still healing from the surgery." Harry said. "Well fine. But I still don't like it." She protested. Harry smiled at her. "But now I am kinda scared to go back to your house because you're Mom might know where you live." Hermione said to Ginny. She sighed. Everyone agreed with that statement. Well, that house is kind of big for us in the first place. Why don't we just move into an apartment with three bedrooms instead?" Harry questioned. A few hours later, they decided to move into an apartment. "Listen, I think all of you should go home. You don't have to suffer here with me." Ginny said to her friends. "Well, I'll stay here and you guys go and pack your stuff. I'll send and owl to the housing department." Harry said. So Ron, Hermione, and George went back to the house and Harry started writing a letter to the housing department. About a half hour later the letter was sent by a hospital owl. "Hey, we never really decided on our owl's name. Got any ideas?" Ginny asked Harry. "I dunno. How about Aerie?" he said. Ginny smiled and nodded. So they named their snowy white owl Aerie. Then suddenly the hospital owl came back though the window with an envelope. Harry took it from the owl and opened it up. "What does it say?" Ginny asked. "It says that the house is now for sale, and we have three days to get a new apartment. No problem." Harry replied. Then Ron, Hermione, and George came back into the room. "Well, I'll be off to Lee's house soon. I'll write, I promise." George said. He walked over to Ginny and gave his little sister a hug. Everyone tried to make him stay but he just raised his hand for silence. After their good-byes, George left and then there were four. "We got a letter from the housing department and it said we have to be out in three days." Ginny said to Ron and Hermione. Ron, Hermione, Harry, and Hermione talked for hours on end. They would've gone father, but the doctor came in at around seven thirty PM. He said that Ginny could leave the next morning after final tests. Ginny was so happy she almost screamed. Later that night when everyone was asleep, Ginny was dreaming again. The same man in her last dream was walking around a small town. He walked out of the graveyard he was standing in. The mysterious man walked past a statue of a family, and then pulled up his hood. He had the same glasses on as before. Then he turned toward a street with tons of houses. He walked for about five minutes and then stopped at a little blue house she recognized as her own. He quietly took his wand out said, "Alohamora." And he walked into the house. He tore everything apart limb from limb. Then he walked upstairs and plunged into each bedroom with the same look on his face as he did in the last dream. He went through every part of the house, not missing anything. When he got done, he screamed louder and scarier than last time. BAM! "AHHHH!" Ginny awoke with a scream. She was sitting up in her bed, breathing hard. Harry woke up when her hand moved away from his. "Ginny are you okay?" he asked. Ginny closed her eyes and nodded as if she was in pain. Harry put one of his hands on her waist and the other in her hand. "Another dream?" he asked again. She opened her eyes and looked up at him, "Yeah. But I'm fine, really. This one was different though. It was about him again. He was in Godric's Hollow, and he found our house, but we weren't t-there. He got in and ruined everything. I- I think he was looking for us. And h-he got really mad that he didn't find w-what he was looking for. He screamed like he did last time, but way s-scarier. And t-then… there was that huge sound again. Like the cruci…" Ginny wouldn't finish. Harry hugged her. He then looked her in the eyes, "I get it. But there can't be anymore followers. I mean… he's gone. Forever." Harry said. "I know Harry. But it felt so real." She said with tears running down her face. Harry hugged her again. Then he held her hand and said, "Well for now it's okay. You are safe with me here."

The next morning Ginny was in testing and everyone was in the waiting room. "Did Ginny scream last night, because I heard someone?" Hermione asked Harry. "Yeah. But it was just a dream. She's okay." He replied. "Yeah well let's just hope all of the poison is out of her." Ron stated. Everyone agreed with his statement. About an hour later, Ginny walked out of the testing room with a smile from ear to ear on her face. "Thank you doctor!" Ginny said. Then she ran to them and hugged Harry. "Everything is fine! No more poison!" she said. Everyone celebrated joyfully. "Well now, I just wanna go home." Ginny stated. "Oh, well. I bought an apartment! And it is completely perfect!" Harry said. Now they just needed to go to their old house and get their things. So they got ready and Apperated to Godric's Hollow. Then they walked inside the little blue house. Hermione gasped and put her hands over her mouth. The house was torn apart! "Harry, this is what it looked like last night!" Ginny, almost in tears, whispered to Harry. Ginny clung to Harry's arm as they walked through the house looking for the explanation of this. Hermione sent an owl to the Ministry and told them to come immediately. They searched the house with their wands at the ready. After searching the whole house, they found nothing. Ginny let go of Harry's arm and started to gather her things. She saw that the wardrobe door was cracked open. The intruder must have not shut the door all the way when he was looking… for whatever he was looking for. Ginny thought. She walked to the wardrobe to get more of her clothes. She gripped the door handle and opened it. "AHHHHH!"
