Chapter 6:
"Sorry Hermione, has everyone gone?" Lupin asked.
"Yeah they have and the doctors and Ginny are waiting for you Lupin, I had to tell them so that you could go in to see her but don't worry they wont say anything." Hermione replied.
Lupin Thanked Hermione and followed her to a room where the doctor said they were not sure if this would work but they needed Lupin to try it.
Lupin could see Ginny looking very helpless, and knew that he would do anything he could; he had made a promise to her once that he would not hurt her and he would try to keep it.
Hermione stood in a room that overlooked the room Ginny was in, it had an observation part to it so she could see and hear everything that was happening.
Lupin went and sat on the bed that held Ginny and took her hand in his.
"I am so sorry Ginny, I didn't realise you were hurting this much, I was trying to give you a chance to find real love and didn't realise that you had found it in me." Lupin said on the verge of tears.
"I didn't think it was possible for anyone to love me and I had not realised exactly how deep my feelings for you were and are." Lupin continued.
Up in the observation room Hermione was on the verge of tears she had never known just how much he loved Ginny and just how strong their connection was.
Lupin moved some of the hair off of Ginny's face and went on about the nights that they had spent together.
"If I had not had strong feelings for you my love I would not have shown you how much I care that night under the stars, I didn't want to believe I had let myself fall in love with you but that is exactly what happened, and I didn't tell because believe it or not I didn't want my heart to get broken, it's kinda funny now though."
"We made love that night Ginny, we got as close as two people could get to one another, and I don't regret anything that we did, I love you Ginny Weasley, please come back to me, please don't leave me." Lupin said with a tear coming down his cheek.
Lupin leant over and when his lips touched those of Ginny, he felt the electricity that they shared, he felt whole.
Up in the observation room, Hermione was in shock about what she had heard, she never knew it had gotten that far, but she also had no doubt that he loved her. Then she saw it.
When Lupin and Ginny's lips touched the heat seared through Ginny's body and she felt those lips on hers, she knew who it was, it couldn't be anyone else, it was the man she loved.
Lupin went to move back and break the bond between their lips, when he felt a hand on his and the lips under his move, Ginny's tongue begging for entrance into his mouth, he accepted it and they kissed passionately for the first time in a long time.
Lupin smiled when they finally broke apart for air. "Welcome back beautiful." Lupin whispered.
Ginny sat up, a little unbalanced to start with and she slowly pulled him into a hug.
"I missed you Remus," Ginny said as she hugged him.
"I missed you too Ginny," Lupin said.
Ginny moved back and looked into his eyes, she could always get lost in those eyes of his and she felt so safe when she did.
Ginny placed her hand gently on Lupin face, "I love you Remus." Ginny said unsure of what he would say.
"I love you too Ginny," Lupin said as he pulled her into another passionate kiss.
Hermione was now crying up in the observation room, she never thought that this would happen and started to walk down to Ginny's room where she and Lupin were still kissing.
When she entered Ginny pulled away, and stared at Hermione and then looked at Lupin, whom she thought didn't seem to worry that Hermione was there, or surprised for that fact.
"I'm guessing that you're feeling better then Ginny," Hermione said smiling with a few tears still rolling down her cheek.
"Ok would someone like to let me in on what is going on, please" Ginny said smiling nervously, bitting on her lower lip.
Lupin and Hermione looked at each other and then started to tell Ginny what had happened and how it all came together, they told her how Hermione had figured it out and had talked to him while he was listening to the cd that Ginny had made for Lupin, and how everyone thought that Harry was the one that had broken her heart, they also told her of the plan they made to get everyone to go home so that he could spend some time alone with her and how Hermione had helped with that as well.
Ginny smiled and thanked Hermione for helping out even if she didn't quite know the full story. Lupin looked at Ginny, "You mean you hadn't told her about, you know." Lupin said looking a little embarrassed.
"No actually I hadn't I kinda wanted to keep that memory for myself.
"Well it's out there now I was kind telling you about it before I kissed you Ginny," Lupin said blushing slightly.
Ginny and Hermione laughed and then Lupin joined in.
They all sat there talking for a little while when Lupin suggested getting the doctors to check Ginny out and then let her family know that she is all right.
They had agreed not to tell them what had happened, just yet, they needed time to adjust to the fact that they were in love and decided that they would tell people when they thought they would be ready to hear it.
The doctors came in and told them that Ginny was going to be fine, that they would keep her in for a few days just to be certain that her heart heals properly, but they also said that they would allow Lupin to spend the nights with her, knowing that the family would only be allowed to come and visit during the days.
Lupin thanked the doctor and then returned to embracing Ginny, placing soft kisses on her lips and forehead every now and again.
Lupin thanked Hermione and the doctors again; he then turned to Ginny and spoke.
"The doctors should call your parents soon, and let them know you are alright,"
"What are we going to tell them when they arrive?" one of the doctors asked.
Ginny looked at lupin and then at the doctors.
"You won't need to tell them anything, I will tell them, I will tell them that I am in love with the most wonderful man and that I was afraid he didn't love me. I will tell them that I knew that they would not approve of this person and that being separated from him made my heart break." Ginny said smiling at lupin.
"And what will you say when they ask you too disclose the name of this man Ginny?" asked Hermione, knowing that Lupin was in a trance at the fact that Ginny had called him wonderful.
"I will tell them that when the time is right they will find out, I will remind them that I'm not a kid anymore but am a woman in love." Ginny responded.
Lupin moved closer to Ginny and gently kissed her lips.
"Just remember that, that man loves you too," Lupin said smiling.
"Ginny, your family are going to be here shortly so I am going to go and get cleaned up, but don't worry I will be back later tonight after every one leaves," Continued Lupin.
Ginny smiled and told him he could only leave if he made sure he would be back, she just needed to know he was there with her.
"Don't worry beautiful, I will be back in a few hours, I just want to get cleaned up and let your family spend some time with you," Lupin reassured her.
Ginny nodded and before lupin apperated he smiled and thanked Hermione again, then he winked at Ginny and was gone.
Hermione looked at Ginny smiling then gave her a hug.
"I know I was shocked to begin with, especially when I realised who he was, but I'm really happy for you Ginny, and I can tell that he loves you very much," Hermione whispered.
"Thanks Hermione, it means a lot, I wonder when mum and dad are going to get here.
Just as Ginny said this there was a knock on the door. The door opened slightly and Mrs Weasley had appeared, followed by Mr Weasley and Ron. When she saw Ginny sat up, smiling and talking to Hermione she rushed in and hugged her daughter.
After the Weasley's had made sure that there daughter was ok, they did exactly what Ginny and Hermione had thought, they asked what had happened. Ginny told them what she had told Hermione, Lupin and the doctors.
They were shocked that she was refusing to tell them who he was or why she thought they would disapprove but understood that it was her right as an adult to keep her personal life private until she felt comfortable to share it with them.
Mean while, Lupin had arrived at Grimuald place to find that he was not the only one there, he could hear the shower going and he could hear laughing, so he went to investigate.
He made his way to the bathroom door and the noises got louder.
Lupin knocked on the door but there was no answer, so he went to his room and grabbed some clean clothes, so he could take a shower when the mystery guest had gotten out.
He walked out of the room and back to the bathroom door when he saw the handle moving, so he moved to the side so that they could get past him.
The bathroom door opened and Lupin was shocked to see Tonks in nothing but a towel, and was even more shocked when he heard Harry ask her to bring a towel in.
Tonks was staring at the shower and hadn't even noticed someone was standing behind her.
"I might consider bringing in a towel, but I think it would be fun to see you do a naked dash to the bedroom." Tonks said Giggling
Lupins jaw dropped at this comment, but before he was able to make his presence known, Harry had poked his head out of the shower to give Tonks a good come back.
Harry smiled nervously when he saw Lupin, as if being busted once today wasn't enough, he thought to himself.
"Well um why don't you ask Lupin to um get me that towel then?" Harry said with a sarcastic smug look on his face.
Tonks thinking he was joking said that she was definitely not getting him a towel now, and that it was not funny.
Lupin tried to suppress a grin, "So where do you keep the towels these days Harry?" Lupin said as seriously as possible. He felt like nothing could fade his good mood, not even a shock like this, he couldn't judge them cause unbeknownst to them he was doing the same thing.
Tonks stopped smiling and turned to face Lupin.
"Oh hi Remus, we um"….
"Um are you going to be long Harry, I need to take a shower." Lupin said trying not to laugh at the predicament.
Tonks excused herself and went to get dressed. When she had finished Harry was just walking towards the bedroom in nothing but a towel, she considered grabbing the towel and running off with it but remembered that they were not alone in the house anymore and restrained herself.
"Would you like a drink sexy?" Tonks asked.
"I'd love a butter beer, gorgeous, you might want to uncork one for Lupin too I think we have some explaining to do," Harry suggested as he went to put some clothes on.
Tonks nodded and went to walk away when she was grabbed, pulled back and kissed passionately, then let go.
"MM, that's better." Harry smiled cheekily.
When Lupin stepped out of the shower the shock had worn off and he found it quite funny, that of all the people he had been the one to find them in somewhat of a compromising position.
He got dressed and then headed to the kitchen to get a drink.
When he got to the kitchen Harry and Tonks were sat at one end of the table having a drink, their hands intertwined on top of the table.
Lupin couldn't help but smile at them, Tonks was acting like a teenager again and he knew he had been doing the same thing at some points with Ginny.
His smile broadened when he thought of Ginny and he checked his watch to see how long it had been since he had left her at the hospital, he was determined not to break any more promises.
He realised that it had only been about an hour and knew that her family would be there for a while longer, so he took a seat at the table.
"Why do you keep looking at your watch Remus, have a big date or something, you seem to be dressed up." Tonks said looking inquisitively at Lupin.
"Actually I do have a date, but before I don't get into that, I thought you might like to know that Ginny is awake and doing fine." Lupin added.
Harry thanked Lupin for letting them know and asked how it all happened and how he found out.
Lupin told him that Hermione was still at the hospital when she woke up and let him know due to the fact he had been the one to find her in her critical state, and that that was all he knew, he did not know how she woke up.
"Ginny did say to tell you that it was not you that had broken her heart, and I can tell you now that she did not know about you two, I don't think anyone does."
"Well actually, Ron knows and I think Molly might have an inkling on the subject." Tonks replied.
"Oh how did Ron find out?" asked Lupin thinking that he might regret asking.
"Well a lot like you actually, we were um a little preoccupied with each other on the couch at the burrow, let's just say it was a good thing he wasn't say twenty minutes later." Harry responded blushing slightly.
"I knew I shouldn't have asked," Lupin said smiling.
"So how long has this been going on for then?" continued Lupin.
"Quite some time now, at least 6 months, well off and on." Tonks replied.
Lupin just looked from Harry to Tonks and laughed, he then told them they make a cute couple and with that he checked his watch again and said it was time for him to go. He did ask them that they try and stick to the bedroom so that he doesn't view anymore of their extra curricular activities.
Tonks and Harry both started laughing and nodded at Lupin.
Lupin said goodnight and headed for his room to get his coat, as he closed the door behind him, he heard a pop and a scream; he rushed back to the kitchen to find Tonks sat on Harry's lap with their eyes gapping at the floor and Hermione passed out on the floor.
"Not again," Harry said sounding frustrated.
Lupin laughed and when Hermione came too, he helped her into a seat at the table.
"Sorry bout that, I was a little shocked I thought I saw, hang on I did see didn't I?" Hermione said slowly growing redder in the face.
"Sorry Hermione you weren't meant to find out like that but it seems that's what everyone has been doing." Harry said whispering the last part of his sentence.
"Um Lupin, can I have a word please?" Hermione asked.
"Uh yeah Hermione, but I can't stay too long I have a date." Lupin responded hoping that Hermione had gotten the hint that he was on his way out to see Ginny.
"Oh well its not that important, I can talk to you later about it." Hermione replied picking up on the not so subtle hints.
Hermione pulled up a chair to talk to Tonks and Harry about what she had seen and what Harry had meant by his everyone seems to be doing that comment. Lupin yet again said goodnight adding don't wait up to his goodbyes and apperated out of the room, reappearing in the waiting room of St Mungo's.
Lupin made his way to the room Ginny was being kept in and knocked on the door.
"It's Remus, Ginny can I come in?"
Lupin didn't hear any response; he opened the door and saw Ginny lay in bed. He closed the door behind him and walked over to her.
"Hey beautiful, I told you I'd be back." Lupin whispered as Ginny slept.
Lupin pulled a chair closer to the bed and pulled out a book he and Ginny had started reading while at Hogwarts. Lupin found the page that they had marked the last time they had read it and started to read softly to Ginny.
Back at Grimuald place Tonks and Harry were informing Hermione that Ron, and Lupin had caught them out, by the end of the retelling Hermione was in fits of laughter telling them it served them right if they were not going to be careful about where to hold their, as Lupin had said extra curriculum activities.
They also told her how they assumed Mrs Weasley probably had her suspicions about it and that it probably would not be a secret for much longer.
They sat at the table drinking butter beer and catching up, talking about what they had all done for the previous year.
Hermione told them how she was doing some work experience in a few different fields, she still could not decide what she wanted to do for a full time job, she was working with the ministry in two or three different sections and also with a muggle school, doing some teaching every now and then, she had told them that she had found the passion for teaching a few years back when Harry had started up the D.A. or better known as Dumbledore's Army.
Tonks and Harry filled her in on what they had done before defeating Voldermort but left out their personal details, which Hermione was thankful for. They had travelled to many different villages and towns to find the horcruxes that Voldermort had hid and they got to explore the country side at there own pace.
"It was very beautiful," Tonks said smiling.
Hermione told them how she would like to do some travelling before she starts her career what ever that may be and asked for travelling tips and some places that they thought she would enjoy.
Back at the hospital Ginny was starting to wake up it had been at least an hour since Lupin had arrived, she looked over and saw him sleeping with the book in his lap, all she could think about was how lucky she was that she had found someone who loved her as much as she loved him. She got out of bed, still a bit wobbly on her feet and removed the book from his lap, smiling when she noticed what book it was.
She placed a soft kiss on his forehead and then placed the book on the table beside her hospital bed, when she turned back to Lupin she saw a wide grin on his face and leaned in for another kiss, but before she could get even half way there she was swept off her feet and kissed devotedly.
She could feel him smiling against her body, and remembered what it had been like to have him as close as two people could get.
The heat between them rose as they deepened the kiss, Ginny pulled away first to take a breath and then placed a charm on the door, She then sat her self on Lupins lap and started to kiss his neck, slowly making her way back to his lips she begged to deepen the kiss and was allowed. When they pulled back this time they stared into each others eyes, getting lost, the passion and heat between them growing, Ginny whispered in Lupins ear, before resuming kissing his neck sensually.
"I love you Remus."
"I love you too Ginny," Lupin whispered back.
"But if you don't slow down it's going to get awfully hot in here." Lupin continued smiling.
Ginny stopped and looked at him, she slowly got off of his lap and stood in front of him, slowly taking her top off to unveil a blue lace bra, she let it slip out of her hands and then onto the floor.
Lupin gulped, not knowing exactly what was going to happen next.
"The first time you kissed me, and I pulled away, you then gave me to the count of ten and told me if I didn't leave you would kiss me again." Ginny said.
Ginny pulled Lupin up off of the chair and looked up into his eyes; she started to undo the first button on his shirt and continued to speak.
"I am going to count to ten Lupin, and if you want me to stop you're gonna have to stop me…1…"
Lupin gulped down again not knowing what he should do, he really loved her and wanted to be with her but he didn't know if this was the right time, he didn't know why she loved him so much, so he asked her why.
"You loved me for me, you didn't think of me as just a kid, you became my best friend and you saved me from myself…2.., do you really need to ask why I love you, you're brave and you face your fears…3…." Ginny said as she kept unbuttoning his shirt, placing sensual kisses on his bare chest as she went.
Ginny looked back up at lupin and placed another kiss on his lips,…4…, she finished unbuttoning his shirt and let it fall from his broad shoulders, letting her hands slide down his now completely bare chest…5…
Lupin couldn't take it anymore, he placed one hand on her waist and the other he let slip down her back, he knew that drove her crazy, when he got to her bra he stopped and pulled her closer to him.
Ginny moaned as she said...10.., letting their passions take over, she never wanted to let him go ever again.
Lupin felt at peace as her hands explored his body and her tongue explored hi mouth.
