"You obnoxious child! Quit mumbling to yourself and go to your classes" Madam Pompfrey said to Draco. "You said you'd let me stay!" Draco protested. Madam Pompfrey pooched her lips in disapproval. He had been sitting in the hospital wing for nearly three days. Madam Pompfrey was starting to worry he'd fall behind in his classes or die of starvation because she swore he hadn't left for a thing yet.

Just then an owl landed at the window. Madam Pompfrey went and fetched the note from it. It was from Dumbledore.

Madam Pompfrey:

Please be aware that Hermione Granger was released from the hospital yesterday and will be arriving shortly. Some kind of magical thing happened and her heart monitor kicked on and the doctors were able to save her and bring her back. Her father thought about things and made the decision to send her back to Hogwarts and try to be accepting of her relationship with Ginny. She has very bad scars on her wrists where she slit them. Please do your best not to stare. I'm sure you may be able to heal the scars for her if she brings it up. Inform Draco that all of his work he has missed while watching Ginny is in the Slytherin common room waiting for him and is expected to be turned in on the day he returns.

Also when you are sure about Ginny's conditions please alert me. I would like to be there when she comes out of the state she is in now.

Thank You,

Professor Dumbledore

"Oh!" Madam Pompfrey said. "What's wrong?" Draco asked. "Not a thing dear," she replied to him. She tended to Ginny allowing for time to do the rest of the work with Draco.

About an hour later there was a knock on the door. She knew before she went to the door that it was Hermione. She opened the door and allowed the girl inside the hospital wing. Draco stood up suddenly knocking the chair he'd been sitting in for the last three days over. "HOLLY FUCK! WHAT AR EYOU DOING HERE?!" he shouted. "Draco! One more word of profanity out of your mouth and you're gone! Understood!" Madam Pompfrey said. "Sorry Ma am," Draco said to Madam Pompfrey. He moved closer to Hermione, "What are you doing here? I thought you slit your wrists and killed yourself," Draco said. "Yeah Draco you scum bag, I did. But the doctors were able to save me. Now I'm stuck with these hideous scars and I still don't have my fucking girlfriend back!" Hermione said to Draco shoving her wrists into Draco's face so he could have a clear view of how bad the scars were on her arms. "Get the fuck out of here please Draco!" Hermione asked. Draco was to freaked out to do anything but obey Hermione's wishes.

Madam Pompfrey came up behind Hermione and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Hermione honey, I can heal those scars for you. At least make them a lot less noticeable," She said. "Really?" Hermione asked. Madam Pompfrey shook her head. Hermione hopped up on the seat beside the bed Ginny was laying in. Madam Pompfrey went to her cabinet of medicine and pulled out a gel liquid. "Now hold your arms out, wrists up. This may sting a bit, but it will go away quickly," Madam Pompfrey said. She poured the gel liquid onto Hermione's wrists smoothing it across her scars with a finger. Within the next five minutes the scars were almost nonexistent. "Thank you," Hermione said. "Can I wait here until she wakes up?" She asked. "Sure you can. She has shown great signs of coming through. She mustn't have been out for long because the antidote is working wonderfully," Madam Pompfrey said.

Hermione sat and waited. She left for meals and for classes. Her free time, however, was devoted to Ginny. For the next four days she sat in the comforts of the hospital wing doing her homework. On the fifth day an owl was sent to Dumbledore telling him that Ginny would hopefully be waking up that evening. Within an hour of the owl leaving Dumbledore was sitting on the other side of the bed from Hermione. Again they waited close to three hours longer.

"What am I doing here? I should be dead. I don't want to fucking live without Hermione! Where did I go wrong! The potion should have worked properly. The last thing I remember is grabbing my throat. It doesn't hurt anymore. I wonder if maybe I'm in heaven and that's why it doesn't hurt." Ginny thought. Ginny finally opened her eyes. She turned to her right to see Dumbledore sitting beside her. "Oh no I am still alive," Ginny whispered.

Dumbledore placed his large hand on Ginny's arm and siad "Ginny honey, that's not a bad thing. You have so much of your life to live! You can't possibly have actually wanted to die." "But Dumbledore Hermione is gone, I can't possibly live without her. She is my world. I love her so much. I can't even explain to you how I feel about her. She makes my heart race and causes me to become short of breath. I don't want to go on with life if she is not here with me," Ginny said tears welling up in her eyes. Hermione sat beside her not saying anything, barely even breathing with tears filling in her eyes too. She hadn't realized she mattered so much to Ginny whenever she slit her wrists. She was glad now that the doctors were able to bring her back. "Ginny honey, I wouldn't worry. Hermione will always be with you. In your heart, your mind and in your memories," Dumbledore said giving Hermione a look saying make your presence known.

Hermione reached across the bed and took Ginny's hand in hers. Ginny jumped from surprise. She hadn't realized anyone else was in the room besides Dumbledore. She turned to see Hermione sitting next to her. Her eyes widened and her mouth fell open. "But, but, but," Ginny stuttered. "Ginny baby the doctors brought me back. I've been recovering in the hospital. When I got here Draco was in the room waiting for you to come through. I told him to get lost because I wanted to be here alone. From what I have heard over the last four days he brought you here whenever he found you in the girls bathroom dead after the quiditch match last week. Ginny I love you so much," Hermione said pulling Ginny to her side of the bed hugging her and burying her face in her girlfriends neck. Ginny hugged Hermione back and kissed her head. She couldn't believe that they were together and they were alive as ever.

"Where's madam Pompfrey?" Ginny asked. "I'm right here," Madam Pompfrey said. "When can I go back to my dorm?" Ginny asked. "I'd like for you to stay tonight. You can return tomorrow afternoon," Madam Pompfrey said. Ginny shook her head. "Hermione can stay with you," she added. "Ginny you both can have tomorrow off from classes. And I have convinced all of your professors to give you a week and a half to get caught up with the things you have missed in the past week and a half okay?" Dumbledore said. "Thank you Dumbledore," Ginny said. Madam Pompfrey and Dumbledore both left the room leaving the girls alone.

Ginny scooted over on the bed so that Hermione could climb up on it with her. They snuggled together. "Hermione, I love you," Ginny whispered. "I love you too Gin," Hermione whispered back. "Can you do me a favor and find Draco for me tomorrow morning?" Ginny asked. "Sure," Hermione said. "Thank you babe. I'm tired can we go to sleep?" Ginny asked. Hermione snuggled up against Ginny and they fell asleep together in the cramped bed in the hospital wing.

Hermione awoke in the wee hours of the morning and took off to the owlry to send Draco a note. She scribbled on a piece of parchment.

Draco,

Ginny asked me to come find you for her today. She is being released this afternoon. She wants you to come to the hospital wing when you get up. Thank you so much for saving her. I really appreciate it.

Thanks,

Hermione

Hermione returned to the hospital wing. When she returned Ginny was sitting up in bed eating breakfast. Around 11 AM Draco showed up. Ginny crawled out of bed and crossed the room to meet him. He hugged her thankful she was alive. "Draco. Honey I'm sorry that whenever I broke up with you I didn't give you chance to do whatever it was you needed to do before throwing it in your face that I wanted to be with Hermione. Thank you so much for worrying about me and bringing me here," Ginny said hugging Draco and giving him a soft kiss.

"Wait a second. Madam Pompfrey…why didn't the suicide potion work?" Ginny asked. "It did my dear. You just didn't realize that there was an antidote. If you had been out for more than 24 hours I wouldn't have been able to revive you. But thankfully Mr. Malfoy is a caring ex and came looking for you when you didn't show up at the quiditch match and brought you here, " Madam Pompfrey said. "Well I promise you I won't be trying that one again," Ginny said. "Okay get over here and let me do a quick check up on you and make sure you're good to go okay," Madam Pompfrey said to Ginny. Ginny checked out well. And Madam Pompfrey looked at Hermione's arms also. "Hermione that is the best that the gel will do. What you have now for scars you'll be stuck with," Madam Pompfrey said. "It's okay. Thank you," Hermione said.

The girls left hand in hand followed by Draco. "He guys, I'm sorry I sent those letters to your parents. I even sent Mrs. Weasly another one telling her that she should accecpt who her daughter really is. I hope it all works out for you," Draco said. "Thank you Draco," Ginny said. Giving him another hug. "Yeah thanks," Hermione added hugging him. Draco left and went back to the Slytherin common room.

Ginny and Hermione went back to their common room. When they entered everything was quiet. After all it was a beautiful Friday afternoon. As soon as the door shut everybody in the Griffindor house jumped out from all sorts of places yelling "SURPRISE!" A big banner fell from the ceiling saying WELCOME BACK HERMIONE AND GINNY! WE LOVE YOU! Everybody welcomed Ginny and Hermione back to Hogwarts. Ron then approached his sister. "Ginny if you ever, ever do something as stupid as create a suicide potion again I will personally bring you back to kill you myself. Do you understand," Ron said to her. "Yeah Ron. It won't happen again I promise," Ginny said hugging her brother.

Ron handed her a package and a note. "From Mum!" He said. Ginny got an oh no look on her face. She sat down on the couch. Hermione sat beside her. Everybody else was partying and having fun. She opened the letter first. It said:

Ginny,

Fred, George and your father have been on me for weeks about this whole relationship of yours. I have been so worried about you. Why would you ever create a suicide potion?! I have raised you better than to do a thing like that. I want to bring you home and take you to St. Mungo's but I won't because your father thinks this situation is more delicate than I thought at first. I don't like your choice of relationship. I would much rather you hook up with Harry. Don't get me wrong I like Hermione I just don't like the idea of you being with her romantically.

Draco sent me another letter. I really think that his letter is what has caused me to change my mind and try to accept your new found relationship. He really is a sweet boy. I can't believe how much he actually cared about you. He went on about how you're so happy with Hermione and that if I truly loved you I would accept you for what you are. I have been thinking about that so much the last week. Especially with you pulling a stunt like you did. Honestly Ginny, He's right. I really do need to at least deal with this. I do love you and I always will.

Love

Mum

Ps. I made you a teddy bear while you were in the hospital wing. I can't wait until you get home to give it to you so I'm sending it to you at school. Also, give Hermione my love and tell her that she is still always welcome here.

Ginny handed Hermione the note and wept into her shoulder as she opened the package revealing a teddy bear wearing a Griffindor colored scarf. Ginny hugged the bear tight. Hermione held Ginny until she was done crying. Once Ginny got herself together she went and found food on the table that was set up in the corner. She was so hungry she could have eaten the entire table by herself. Everybody sat around the common room talking and catching up on the last few weeks for what seemed like years. Finally around 12:30 the last few people went up to bed and it was just Ginny, Hermione, Harry and Ron left. The boys got up and squeezed themselves onto the couch on either side of the girls. "Okay kids. While you two have been off trying to commit suicide, Ron and I have been paying attention in Charms class," Harry said. Ginny and Hermione looked at each other then back at Harry. "We made something for you both while you were gone," Ron said. Then he and Harry both reached into their pockets pulling out necklaces. Ginny's was a broom and Hermione's was a quill. "What makes these necklaces so special is that they have a spell put onto them. If you ever feel like this is all going to happen again at anytime you can whisper to the necklaces I need to talk and we'll be right there. If it's summer time we'll have other ways to get in contact with you by pushing these buttons on our wands," Harry pushed his button and both necklaces transformed into a small screen showing Harry on it. He waved at his wand and sure enough he waved in the screens of the necklaces. Ginny and Hermione promised to make good use of their new necklaces. "Hey, I think we should get going to bed, I have a lot of cuddling to get caught up on," Hermione suggested. "Okay guys, Good night," Harry said. Harry and Ron went up to their dorms. Ginny and Hermione retired to the Head Girls room, stripped and crawled into bed and linked their bodies together in the most wonderful embrace either of them have ever felt. They kissed each other good night and fell asleep in each others arms.
