Three days Later – Omnipresence
After the awakening of Ginny Weasley, the healers couldn't seem to get her to calm down. She was always trying to get out of the room, trembling as though she was a doddering senior, and saying the most bizarre things. It was like she had gone off her rocker and into another world. The only way to calm her down was by knocking her out. This was the only way the healers could figure out what happened and how they could help. Even though it was only three days afterward, it was too much for them to handle.
"Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, it is only with your permission that we take your daughter to… to the Spell Damage floor."
"Healer Parker! What? No-no! Not my daughter! I will not… I will not…" Mrs. Weasley was in such a state of shock that she couldn't talk in complete sentences.
"Molly, calm down. You'll hyperventilate, dear. Now, Healer, why exactly do you want to move our daughter there?"
"Well…"
A Couple of Hours Later
"What? But, mum… we have to tell Harry!"
"Now, you heard your father Ronald Billius Weasley. You cannot send a letter to Harry about Ginny. And you know why, so don't you dare ask why."
"But…"
"Ronald. Shut your mouth now. OH SHUT UP FRED AND GEORGE!"
The twins shut up immediately and Ron stomped off to his room. Once in, he turned to see Hermione sitting on his bed looking worried, as always now.
"Ronald…"
"Yes, 'Mione?"
"I'm scared."
"What? Why?"
"'Cus…"
"… Did you just say 'cus? Hermione? Are you okay?"
Ron went over to sit by her and looked at her with a worried expression on his baffled face. She replied, "Of course I'm not! Gosh, Ron, your sister is probably crazy right now and we can't tell Harry and… and… V- Voldemort's everywhere. Didn't you hear the order last night during the emergency meeting? They think he's trying to take over the ministry! Oh God… I just don't know what to do… we're supposed to be helping Harry… but, everything's happening so fast… I just…"
He continued to look at her and responded, "It's going to be okay Hermione. This is just another bump in the road. We'll…we'll…maybe; just maybe we'll make it through. It's all up to Harry you know. I wish we could tell him. I wish we could –" Hermione had stopped him in mid-sentence and had hugged him. His heart stopped when her flesh touched his. Warmth, that's all she needed from him, warmth.
At the Hospital – Ginny's P.O.V.
My eyes opened and lights blinded me. My hands clapped to my face to cover them. I peeked through my fingers and adjusted to the brightness. I rose up and looked around. My room was different from the last time I awoke. And I realized this wasn't my hospital room. They had moved me somewhere else, but where exactly? And if they hadn't, am I hallucinating again?
"Ginny? Great, you're up. Can you see me?" a woman asked. I nodded and she continued, "Now, I need to tell you something very important. You need to keep quiet about it all. Don't get loud okay? Stay calm. Do you understand? Can you do that for my Ginny?"
I looked at her oddly, trying to prognosticate her next move. I was fabricating the conversation continuation in my head. I pulled back my covers and tried to stand up. Once up, my feet fell off balance. The healer hurriedly helped me. She looked at me and took a deep breath.
"Ginny -"
"Before you tell me anything…Tell me where am I. My room is different; it's all white. Why?"
"We've moved you. Now -"
"Where?"
"To the 4th floor. Now, listen –"
"To the 4th floor?!?! I'm not spell damaged in the brain. You've put me in the loony bin!"
"I know that! But, the other healers don't believe that."
"Aren't you the main healer over me? Aren't you the major authority?"
"I am and they can overthrow me."
"Overthrow you? But how?"
"Shush, girl. Not right now. Right now, you have to go."
"Go where?"
"To your home. You don't belong here. It's obvious that you're ready to go home. You need to get out of here before they make you go crazy. I can tell that you're well enough to go home."
"Really!" I exclaimed so loud my neighbors shifted in their beds.
"Didn't I say don't get loud? If your roommates wake up, the other healers will come in and strap you down."
"What? What do you mean?"
"Nothing. Forget I said that and listen to me."
"NO," I yelled, "Tell me or I'll keep yelling."
"Ginny! I can't. I shouldn't have -"
I then screamed. Healer Mickey clapped her hands over her ears. I closed my eyes and screamed louder. I heard other patients stir from the noise and I then opened my eyes. I was smirking until it was wiped off. A rush of healers came in. Some went to the others and others came to me. Something told me to dodge them and run and escape, but I stayed glued to that spot.
A male haler pulled out his wand and pointed it to me. My heart pace quicken with fever. I started to sweat out of no where. My eyes felt like they were darting like crazy from one place to another, and they probably were. I saw Healer Mickey trying to help other healers and looking at me with a worried expression. I, myself, wasn't only worried about me, but also scared, terrified, petrified for my life.
The healer came closer to me and said something along the lines of stay calm; we're not going to hurt you. But, I knew better and backed away. He grabbed my wrist and tried to pull me towards him. I pulled back again and struggled against his grip. I screamed and tried to hit him with my other hand, but someone else grabbed my other wrist.
I struggled against the two and tried to see past the. Maybe I can get away. You know, become clever and smart like Hermione and react within a second and have a bittersweet escape. But, no. I couldn't see anything nor see an opening. My brain wasn't acting well, either, so I couldn't think of anything. I continued to fight back against them when a red light came towards me and –
I was reawakening. I could feel again. The darkness was drifting away and light was starting to float foggily into my vision. I heard a voice calling to me as my eyes fluttered open. I saw Healer Mickey. She was crouched over me. When she saw that I was up, she put her finger to her mouth. I knew to be quiet.
"I want you to wake up. Put this cloak on and this muggle hat. Then go to the main floor and look for my office. In there is a bathroom and some clothes so you can freshen up. After that go disguise yourself as a visitor and go to the waiting room. In there is a fire place for Flooing. Then you will go to your house and stay there. I will cover for you on how you got checked out. Ok? Do you hear me, Ginny?"
I nodded vigorously and then smiled. I said in a quiet whisper, "Thank you." It was her turn to nod now. I stood up, and this time I didn't fall. I put on the cloak and put my hair under the muggle cap. She nodded and smiled. I smiled back and made my exit.
I sighed in relief as I reached my first destination. I opened the door to the office and peered in to make sure that there was no one there. No one was. I tip toed in and closed the door quietly. I looked around. Nice office she had. It had a couch, food, and hey, she wasn't lying, a bathroom. Next to the bathroom door was stack of clothes. I smiled and gave thanks to her in my mind, hoping she'll get it.
I cautiously opened the door and looked outside of Mickey's door. No one was roaming the halls, so it was perfect time to escape. I scurried back in the room and put on the high heeled boots and got the muggle shades and put them on. They covered my eyes that had heavy eyeliner around them and complimented my red rose lip stick that was situated on my lips. I had on all black with a leather jacket over me. I looked like on of those muggle spies and I looked good as one.
I slipped out the door and started tiptoeing down the hall. I looked around every corner I went through and stopped when someone passed me without looking. I was almost to the waiting room. I could see it. I could hear all the injured. I started to get giddy and started to walk my normal pace.
"Excuse me miss. Why are dressed like that?" a voice sounded from behind me and my heart started to race.
"I, um…um… I was just visiting a f-family member." I stuttered and turned around to see…
"Ginny! Gosh. I thought you were someone else. Why aren't you with your family by now?" I blinked at Mickey.
"Uh…"
"Ginny! If I could recognize you, another healer could've recognized you. Don't you know that? Now, go. Shoo, shoo." I nodded and was on my way.
Green flames engulfed me and I felt myself rushes through all different fireplaces, trying to find the Burrow. Finally I came to a halt and a ball of soot sprouted in my face. I coughed and stood up and brushed the black ashes off. I heard someone yell, "Who are you? Let me see your face! Dad, Bill, Charlie! Come down here! Quick!"
I froze within an instant. I let my hands rise above my head and I turned around slowly. I slowly took of my shades. The red headed person holding the wand gasped and lowered it. A handful of people hurried down the stairs and when they came to a halt, they gasped too. The red-headed woman looked at me gasped and smiled and yelled my name. I smiled back and said, "Mum!"
