Chpt. 8- Recovery
Ginny smelled Clorox bleach. She felt softness all around her. She felt something warm in her hand. Was she in heaven? Ginny slowly opened her eyes. She saw a regular ceiling above her. She tried to move her head but it ached and swirled with pain. Even though it hurt, she turned her eyes toward her hand. She saw another hand in hers, and moving her body, she saw Harry next to her. Ginny smiled weakly as she looked at him. He was bruised and had very small scars, but other than that, he was her Harry.
Ginny's back ached with pain as she situated herself closer to Harry. It seemed as if he had woken up earlier and taken her hand. Ginny's thoughts went back to Cho. Damn Asian thought Ginny. She couldn't believe she would go that far.
Ginny must have drifted back into sleep because she woke up again and saw Harry staring at her. "How are you?" he asked, stroking her cheek affectionately. "I've been better" joked Ginny, playing with his hair. "I'm sorry that all this happened to you" said Ginny sadly. "No, it's not you're…" "Yes it is. It's all my fault that Cho got jealous and wanted to hurt you" said Ginny. "She hurt you too" said Harry. "But…I" started Ginny then stopped as Harry leaned in close to her. "It's okay, at least we're here together" said Harry. Ginny smiled then closed her eyes. Harry chuckled and leaned in to kiss her. Their lips connected, both feeling warm and happy. Harry reached up to touch her face and found it to be wet. Shocked he opened his eyes and saw a single, shining tear crawl down Ginny's face as she kissed him. Harry broke apart. "Ginny, what's wrong?" asked Harry. Ginny opened her eyes, which were shining with water. "I'm just so happy that you chose to be with me instead of Cho" said Ginny. Turning red, Harry thought of what to say. "Well, let's just say I don't think you would shoot a spell at me" he said. Ginny smirked and inching over, rested her head on Harry's shoulder.
Ginny felt herself being shaken awake. Madam Promfrey was standing above her. "Sorry m' dear, but you need to drink this to help make sure your alright, then you can leave with Potter" she said. Ginny took the drink, glancing at Harry who seemed to be awake. She drunk the hot, sticky medicine down, feeling it warm up her body. "Thank you and keep out of trouble" said Madam Promfrey. "Oh Madam Promfrey, I was just wondering, do you know who fround us and brought us here?" asked Ginny. "Oh yes, it was Mr. Malfoy" said Madam Promfrey. "Oh, thanks" said Ginny, turning on her heels to catch up with Harry. "You alright?" Harry asked. "Yeah" said Ginny uneasily. Harry took her hand reassuringly and flashed Ginny, his famous grin.
