Harry already had Ginny in his arms and was running back towards the house before any of them had landed. He could hear people running behind him. One caught up and he looked to see that it was Charlie. Once they reached the house, Charlie opened the door for Harry and he placed her on the couch.

"MUM!" Charlie bellowed. She came rushing in with her wand at the ready.

"What!?" she hollered back, and then noticed Harry with blood on his arm, and Ginny unconscious on the couch. "What happened?" she asked as she rushed over to her youngest child.

"She got hit with a bludger. Will she be ok, Mrs. Weasley?" asked Hermione with terror in her voice. She was on the verge of tears and looked like the only thing holding her up was Ron's tight arm around her waist.

"I'm pretty sure it's just a cracked skull. Lets get her to St. Mungo's." She grabbed a cup and muttered, "Portus!"

"Charlie you will have to hold her."

Charlie nodded, then hooked an arm under her knee's then one around her back and picked her up almost effortlessly.

"Three… Two…One." Said Mrs. Weasley.

Harry felt the familiar sensation of a jerk behind the navel. After a few moments, they landed in the lobby of St. Mungo's, which had materialized moments before. Everyone rushed over to the front desk.

"Excuse me, my name is Molly Weasley. My daughter here" - She gestured to the unconscious redhead in Charlie's arms – "got hit with a bludger," she said quite calmly. Harry surmised that she had practice being calm in these situations because of the twins.

"Alright, just set her here," she said as she waved her wand and a stretcher appeared.

With another wave of her wand, Ginny disappeared. "She has been sent just down the corridor to your left. A nurse or doctor will be with you shortly." She told them with a small smile as she turned to the next patient.

All seven of them went as directed. Everyone but Harry and Charlie sat down. The two began to pace back and forth. After about 10 minutes Harry sat down next to Hermione and Ron. He put his elbows on his knees and set his head in his hands.

"Harry, she'll be fine," Hermione sniffled. "I'm sure they mended her skull immediately. They might want to keep her for a concussion though." Harry couldn't decide if she was reassuring him or herself.

"I know. Don't you remember, the same thing happened to me? I'm still worried, though, and I just don't want her to wake up alone," he said sounding worried.

"How could I forget? We sat with you for hours. Well, I sat next to you while Ron lay in the bed next to you!" she said with a smirk. "They will give us an update soon. I'm sure of it," She said with a warm smile.

"Yeah I-"

"Molly Weasley?" A man dressed in lime green came out. When he saw Mrs. Weasley get up, he walked over to her. "Are you Ginevra Weasley's mother?

"Yes, how is she doing?" She asked concerned.

"She's fine. We mended her skull, but we want to watch her overnight. She is still asleep, but should be waking up at any moment. You may see her, but no more than 3 at a time, please. Once she is discharged we want her lying in bed resting for at least a week. Absolutely no Quidditch for three weeks." He told her with a stern voice. "You may follow me." He was much politer this time. He began to walk down the hall.

Mr. Weasley - who had shown up right as the doctor was explaining - Mrs. Weasley and Charlie followed the doctor. After about 20 minutes or so, Charlie and Mr. Weasley came back.

"Fred, George, you boys can go see her. She's still asleep." He said as he sat down, removed his glasses, and cleaned them on his shirt.

Ten more minutes passed, but to Harry it seemed like an eternity. The twins came back and sat down.

"Ron, you and Hermione can go now." Harry said as he rubbed his eyes.

"No, Harry, its fine. Go with Ron. I'll wait." Hermione replied, putting a comforting hand on his arm.

"No. Go with Ron, please. Just go ahead."

"Okay." She said with a small smile.

Harry sat with his head in his hands, thinking. He remembered the same thing had happened to him only months prior. After about 15 minutes, Ron, Hermione, and Mrs. Weasley came back.

"Harry, dear, you can go see Ginny now. She is beginning to stir." She said to him, tousling his hair fondly.

Harry immediately got up and bolted towards her room. He got there and stood in her door. Mrs. Weasley was right, she was just starting to stir. She didn't have her eyes open or anything, but she was moving slightly.

"H…Ha…Harry? Where's Harry?" She asked in a whisper. Her eyes were only half open, and she looked quite disoriented.

He rushed to her bedside and sat on the edge.

"I'm here Gin." He said as he gently wiggled his hand in hers. She gave it a gentle squeeze which Harry returned. "How do you feel?"

"A little numb honestly. My neck is sore, too. When can I go home?"

"They want you to stay overnight. You're going to have to stay in bed for at least a week once you get home. Oh, and no Quidditch for three weeks." He told her with a smirk and a wink. She groaned but smiled.

"Are you saying that I have to stay in this white, plain room by myself?" She asked, looking sad.

"I'll… I'll stay with you." He said quietly blushing to a deep crimson. He then added quickly, "that is if you want me to!"

I would love you too, she thought with a small smile.

"I'll go let them know. Be right back." He walked out to where everyone sat. "She's awake. She um, ugh." He began to blush once again. "She asked me to stay with her tonight." He said while starring at his feet and shifting from one foot to another nervously.

"We'll both stay," Mrs. Weasley said. She stood up and put a very motherly arm around his shoulders. "I want you lot to go home tonight and get some sleep. Harry and I can get her home tomorrow. Don't worry about her, she'll be fine."

"Listen to your mother. We all need some sleep." Mr. Weasley said wearily. "I'll see you boys and Hermione at home. Let's all say a quick good-bye to Ginny. Fred, George, let's go first." They all stood up and walked to Ginny's room. After a short five minutes, they came back said their good-byes to Harry and Mrs. Weasley then left with a CRACK. Ron, Hermione, and Charlie then went to say their good-byes.

"Bye mate, see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow Harry." Followed Hermione.

"Bye, I'll see you tomorrow." Harry said rubbing his eyes. He was awfully tired.

"Bye Harry." Said Charlie.

"Bye."

When the Weasleys had taken their leave, Harry got up and walked back to Ginny's room. Mrs. Weasley was already in her room by then. Ginny was propped up on a pillow, smiling and blabbering away to her mother. She gave him a big smile when she saw him at her door.

"Hey Harry!" She said happily.

"Hey Gin. How are you?" He asked her while he sat down next to her bed.

"Bored. I can't wait to get out of here! How about you?" She asked as she put her hand on his.

"I'm a bit tired honestly. And besides, after you leave here you are going to be in bed still." He said with a large smirk.

Right as she opened her mouth to retort the healer-in-training came in.

"How are you feeling, Miss Weasley?" She asked as she checked Ginny's pulse, waved her wand, and then gently prodded her with it.

"Pretty good. I would be great but I'm being poked." She said teasingly.

"I'm sorry miss. I just had to run some tests. You will be all set to leave first thing tomorrow morning. You need to rest now. I'll just leave this here for you. (She set a goblet on the table) Please drink it all." She smiled at the three then left.

"Come on dear, you heard the nurse. Drink up." Mrs. Weasley said as she picked up the goblet and handed it to her daughter.

"Ugh, I hate drinking this stuff." She replied as she downed the whole goblet. She had a look of utter disgust on her face as she set the empty goblet on the table. "Good n…" She didn't have the chance to finish because she fell right to sleep.

Harry chuckled to himself as he watched her. Her face fell in mid-sentence and next thing he knew, she was asleep.

"Harry, I'm going to go get some tea, would you like some?" Mrs. Weasley asked kindly.

"No thanks Mrs. Weasley." He said with a small smile. She walked out of the room. Harry got up slightly, kissed Ginny's forehead and whispered, "Night." Less than ten minutes later, Mrs. Weasley returned. She smiled at the sight before her. Harry had fallen asleep with his head in his arm's while holding her daughter's hand.

Harry awoke with a start. He looked around, trying to reorient himself and figure out where he was. Mrs. Weasley wasn't to be seen, but Ginny was sitting up and smiling at him. Harry quickly figured out why he woke so quickly - she was poking him and giggling. He smiled and started to poke her back, which got her laughing even harder.

"Well good morning." He said as he rubbed the sleep out of his eyes.

"Good morning! Took you long enough to wake up. I thought I'd have to get a cup of water." She said, continuing to giggle

"Well I'm glad you didn't! How did you sleep?" He asked as he stretched his arms over his head.

"Excellent, I'm ready to get out of here!" She made an attempt to stand, but Harry gently pushed her back onto the bed before she had a chance to try and escape.

"Hold on, Gin! We'd better wait for the healer before you just run off." He replied with a smirk.

"Ugh! I would like to see you sitting here and not wanting to get up." She said, starting to turn a shade of red - not a good sign.

"Now, now. I have had my fill of being in the hospital wing! Would you like me to re-tell them?" He continued before she could reply. "First year there was the Sorcerers Stone." He was counting them off on his fingers. "Second year where I had to re-grow all of the bones in my arm. Third year when I fell off my broom and then after the dementors nearly kissed me by the lake. Fourth year there was the Tri-Wizard Tournament. Fifth year was the Department of Mysteries where practically everyone was in the hospital wing. And finally, last year which I was in there for the same reason as you; A bludger to the head courtesy of the biggest git ever! See! I've been in there at least once every year." He ended it with a smirk and Ginny quickly shut her mouth.

Mrs. Weasley popped her head in the door-way. "Ginny, are you ready to go now?" She asked.

"You bet! I can't wait to go home." She jumped out of bed, swayed, was caught by (This is called passive voice. I'll leave it here for now for humor's sake, but it's best to avoid it. "Harry caught her" would be correct) Harry, and set back down on the bed. "I'm fine! I'm fine! I just got up too fast." She stood up again but this time more slowly. "Ok, let's go."

"Ginny, Harry, we aren't going to the Burrow. We're going to Hogwarts," Mrs. Weasley said sadly.

"But, mum, why?" Asked Ginny.

"Well, the Order doesn't think that it is safe at our house for a while. All of your things have been sent to Hogwarts already. Since neither of you have your apparition license yet, we are going via the Floo Network." She said as they walked towards the lobby. Once they reached the fireplace she said, "Harry you go first. I'll send Ginny second incase she gets a bit wobbly. I'll go after Ginny. Is that alright with you two?"

"Yeah sure," Harry said as he grabbed a pinch of Floo powder. He said very clearly, "Hogwarts!" and disappeared with a flash of green flames. Once the spinning stopped, Harry walked out of the fireplace – or fell, more like - brushed himself off and then was greeted by Professor McGonagall.

"Good morning, Mr. Potter. Try not to soil my rug," she said nonchalantly, writing on a piece of parchment. She looked up. "Potter, what happened to your face?"

Harry let out a chuckle and then replied, "Ask Ron." Right as he said that, Ginny appeared in the fireplace. She, as Mrs. Weasley predicted, stumbled. Harry with his quick Quidditch reflexes caught her by the waist. Once she was upright again, Harry still had a firm arm around her incase she tripped again. A few moments later Mrs. Weasley stepped out of the fireplace.

"Hello Minerva. How have you been?" She asked politely.

"Hello Molly. I have been alright. Mr. Potter, Miss Weasley, Mr. Weasley and Miss Granger are waiting for you in the entrance hall." She said to Harry and Ginny, and then turned her focus back to Mrs. Weasley. "How have you been?"

Harry and Ginny walked together to the entrance hall to greet the other two. As they rounded the corner they saw Hermione and Ron sitting next to each other.

"Hey you two, what have you been up to?" Ginny asked them.

"Nothing really, just waiting for you lot. " Said a very happy Hermione. Harry guessed she was smiling because of the way she was sitting. Hermione was so close to Ron that they were almost on top of each other, and Ron had a tight arm around her waist. Harry saw Ginny trying to suppress a giggle.

Wow. About time don't you think? And what is this! Ron showing his affection out in the open? Oh my! Ginny thought to Harry as she finally giggled.

They heard footsteps coming up behind them. They all turned to see Mrs. Weasley walking up to them. "Ginny, dear, let's get you resting." Mrs. Weasley said as she reached her daughter.

"Mum, I'm fine really!" Ginny knew she was fighting a losing battle, but she really didn't want to just sit around.

"Ginevra Weasley, do not argue with me. You are going to follow the healer's orders and that is final!" Mrs. Weasley was beginning to grow red in the face so Ginny quickly shut her mouth seeing as she was about to argue.

"Okay, okay, but can I sit in the common room with them?" She asked as she gestured to the trio.

"Yes, but you lot aren't staying in your dorms. All of them are closed for summer cleaning. Ginny and Hermione will stay in the Head Girl dorm and Ron and Harry will stay in the Head Boy dorm."

"Ok, where are they?" asked a thoroughly trilled Hermione.

"Professor McGonagall will show you all after a quick lunch.' Mrs. Weasley headed towards the Great Hall, leaving everyone to follow her in her wake.

After lunch in the Great Hall, which only had one small table, Professor McGonagall led the teens to their dorms. It ended up being just down the hall from the Prefect bathroom. It was behind a portrait of a vase of flowers.

Once they went through the picture, there were two doors. One door had "Head Girl" written in cursive, and on the other had "Head Boy" written in block letters. They headed to the boy's dorm first.

They walked into what looked like the Gryffindor common room. It was almost an exact replica, but smaller. There were 2 couches, 3 chairs, and a roaring fire place. To the right through an arch way was a kitchen. There was an adorable iron cast table and chairs. Professor McGonagall said that in the kitchen all you have to do was say what you would like to eat and it would appear. Ron was very pleased at this.

After thoroughly inspecting the kitchen and common room, they headed to the bedroom. Professor McGonagall changed it slightly to accommodate the two boys. There were to large beds, two desks, two enormous closets, two dressers and two longs mirrors. The girl's dorm was exactly the same but it seemed a bit more girly. There were prettier window treatments and doorway hangings.

Once they had finished the tour, they headed to the girls dorm so that Ginny could rest. The trio sat around the fire talking while Ginny had fallen asleep on the couch.

Hermione stood up and stretched. "Well I'm off to bed then." She said with a smile but didn't move towards the bedroom. Ron also stood up and stretched.

"Well goodnight Hermione." He said with a small grin.

"I think I'll just carry Gin to her bed so she will be more comfortable." Harry said feeling slightly awkward with the couple. He gently picked up the sleeping Ginny and carried her to her room. He pulled back the covers and put her into her bed. She turned over as Harry pulled her covers back over her.

Once he knew that Ginny was situated, he headed back out of the room. Harry gasped loudly at the sight before him. Standing in the middle of the common room was Ron and Hermione snogging very passionately. They weren't aware of his presence, so Harry cleared his throat as loudly as possible. The couple jumped away from one another like they were each on fire. They turned so red in the face that Harry was certain they would explode. They both silently looked at their shoes, thoroughly embarrassed.

"Um, well I best get to bed then. Night Ron, Harry." Hermione all but ran to her dorm. Once she got there she slammed her door closed, opened it again, whispered "Sorry" and gently closed it again. Harry couldn't hold it in anymore, so he burst out laughing. He was laughing so hard that he had to hold his sides.

"S…Sor…Sorry?" Harry managed to splutter out between laughs, wiping his eyes. To Harry, it felt like he hadn't had a good laugh in a while. After a few moments he regained his composure - much to Ron's relief, who had been shifting awkwardly on his feet throughout Harry's outburst - and started to head back to their dorm. Ron was still very red from embarrassment. He got into bed without saying another word.

The next day consisted of many games of Exploding Snap and Wizard Chess. Ron beat Harry every time in chess, but Harry didn't really mind. He knew he wasn't the best at it seeing as Harry had never beaten Ron before. As for Ginny, she mostly laid on the couch or on the floor by the fire. Ron and Hermione would disappear mysteriously for periods of time. Ginny told Harry that she caught them snogging in the kitchen once and couldn't stop laughing for over twenty minutes.

After a full week of recovery, Ginny was finally free. The four spent their days out on the grounds or swimming. One Saturday the four were swimming when they decided to play a game of chicken. Ginny got onto Harry's shoulder's while Hermione got on Ron's. They were all laughing and having a good time trying to knock each other over when Harry kicked Ron under the water. This caused Hermione to tumble off when Ron went down. Harry let Ginny slid off his shoulders; They were both celebrating their win.

"Hey! You cheated!" Laughed Ron as he shook his head like a wet puppy.

"Well that's chicken. Face it, your sister beat you, Ron!" Ginny giggled and smirked at him. Ron opened his mouth to retort but Ginny splashed a face full of water at him, continuing to laugh. The four splashed around until it was starting to get dark.

"Alright, I'm cold! Let's go inside." Said Hermione as she got out of the water and conjoured four huge warm, fluffy towels.

"You're right. Let's head in." said Ron as he dried off.

Do you want to go in? asked Harry.

Not really, let's stay out here for a little while. Replied Ginny.

"Hey, you two go in. We're going to sit out here and talk." Ginny told the two.

Ron suspiciously opened his mouth to say something but Hermione grabbed his arm and started to pull him towards the castle. "Alright. See you two later!" She said over her shoulder.

Ginny and Harry got out and started to dry off. Once they were in warm clothes, courtesy of Harry, they started to walk to their favorite tree. They sat down and Harry put an arm around her shoulders. The two just sat there and enjoyed the company of the other while watching the sun go down.

Ginny turned to Harry and said, "I love you." She set her head on his shoulder and continued to watch the sunset.

Harry kissed the top of her head, "I love you, too."
