I'm back! I love you guys, (SerenityLux, TrappedDream, sara253xxx, and Steph13) for reviewing on my last chapter! You're right, drunken Harry did seem hot as hell to me. :P ANYWAY, thanks to all those who reviewed. I honestly have no ideas where this is going so far, I'm just writing one chapter at a time to see if this story will sweep me away. :]
Song of the Chapter: Come On by Ben Jelen—Look it up, to me this song is perfect to describe Harry's feelings.
Mending Hearts: Chapter 7
Harry's POV
The first thing I remembered was a pounding worse than any headache I'd ever felt. Without opening my eyes I touched my head, which ached. 'What the hell happened last night?' I wondered. Opening my eyes the sunlight burned and I quickly shut them again. I felt a moan escape my lips and I shuttered, a wave of nausea washing over me. Forcing my eyes open I stood, realizing that I was lying outside Stephanie and Maggie's room. What did happen last night? I had no time to wonder, rushing down the hall into the bathroom where I freed the left over liquor from the previous night into the toilet. (A/N: I've had really bad hang over's and that's what it feels like, for those who don't know) Groaning, I slumped near the toilet, my body aching and feeling like I hadn't showered or brushed my teeth in days. I spit the remaining contents of vomit from my mouth into the toilet.
"Rough night?" A female voice asked from behind me. I didn't even spin around, I didn't have to.
"Leave me alone Ginny." I muttered, reaching up and flushing the toilet. "I'm not in the mood."
"Oh I can see that." She laughed softly and I felt my stomach churn again. "Why did you guys go out anyway?"
"Honestly Ginny it's none of your damn business." I snapped, putting my hand gingerly to my head, literally feeling the pounding of the veins under my fingertips.
"What's wrong? Is your hang over really that bad?" She questioned. When she didn't receive an answer she spoke again. "You don't need to be a jerk."
"Just go away." I didn't need to turn around to know she was gone. Ginny was a sweet girl, don't get me wrong. She just wasn't my type.
I stood, wiping my mouth on my sleeve and exited the bathroom, bumping into someone on the way out. "Blimey Harry!" Ron exclaimed, stepping back slightly. "Don't do that!"
"Do what?" I grumbled, working my way around him and down the hall without waiting for an answer. I wasn't in the mood to deal with anyone.
"What's wrong with you Harry, hung-over?" I didn't see his face, but I could tell by his tone that he was smiling. My frustration grew even further.
"What happened after we got home last night?" I questioned Ron, spinning around. "I don't even remember leaving the pub." Ron smirked, shaking his head from left to right.
"We got home; you and Sirus were drunk as bloody hell." He laughed for a second before continuing. "Stephanie was still up, reading and waiting to see if Maggie would stay asleep. We walked in and sat down…" I got nervous when he paused.
"I did something stupid, didn't I?" I groaned, running my fingers through my dark curls. ((A/N: Harry's hair is a little longer, like during the third and fourth movie. I don't like his hair short at all!))
"Yeah mate, you kissed her full on." I groaned again, closing my eyes. "But that's not even the worse part! After she didn't kiss you back you passed out right on her!" He laughed as my eyes snapped open. That part I didn't remember at all… "She got your shoes off and tucked you in on the couch. None of us were in any condition to try and carry you up the stairs."
"Then why did I wake up in front of her door?" I questioned groggily, still trying to remember all the details of the previous night. It was frustrating when I came up with nothing.
"No clue mate, you were dead asleep on the couch when I went up to bed. Stephanie headed up when I did also." He scratched his head, looking at me. "Sorry" he apologized.
"Thanks." I told him, as we stood in the middle of the hall on the second floor. "What do you suppose Sirus-"I was cut off by a loud pitched scream coming from Stephanie's room? My eyes widened and I froze for a second before taking off sprinting down the hallway towards the door. Stephanie wasn't the one screaming. It sounded like a child's cries, it sounded like Maggie. This wasn't just any normal cry though. It sounded like a kid who had banged their head against the floor after falling. She sounded like she was in a lot of pain.
I flung open the door, and rushed inside to find Stephanie cradling a still sleeping Maggie in her arms. My daughter's eyes were closed but her face was constricted with pain. Beads of sweat formed on her tiny forehead and her hands were clenched so tight the knuckles were turning white. Panic shot through me as I stood and watched my daughter, why wasn't Stephanie doing anything to help her or to wake her up?
Stephanie looked at me helplessly, placing her pointer finger to her lips in an attempt to keep my quiet, but why? After a few moments Maggie calmed down then awoke, tears in her eyes. She clung to Stephanie, shaking hard and crying wordlessly. She wasn't able to yet communicate what she had seen.
"What was your bad dream about this time?" Stephanie asked our daughter softly. The girl looked up slowly before making a bent 'V' with two fingers and moving them forward then with her left hand spread all her fingers and placed her thumb against her head, all the rest of her fingers pointing out. Stephanie sigh, pulling Maggie close to her chest and rubbed her back gently. "Mommas not going to let him hurt you, I promise baby girl."
"Momma" the little girl whimpered, closing her eyes. Maggie still looked exhausted, and I didn't blame her. Usually after I had nightmares I was tired.
"Where does it hurt?" Stephanie asked. Maggie looked at her mom, pointing to her right wrist. I took a step closer, trying to get a good look. As Stephanie flipped her hand over I felt myself gasp. On my daughter's wrist right over the small blue veins was a distinct lightening shaped scar.
