Chapter two

Harry lay wide awake in his bed staring at the ceiling. It had been a long night and he was more anxious then ever to get out of this stupid hospital. He felt empty inside now that his Parents had left him. Harry had to laugh at himself for acting so childish, it was stupid for a grown man act like he was ten and going on his first sleep over.

Harry sighed thinking that his own kids were braver then he was. The thought of his children brought tears to his eyes, he missed them so much.

"I'll be home soon." Harry said out loud to the empty room turning to look out the window. Harry was glad that in the last few months he had improved enough that they trusted him to not try and run away anymore. He remembered when he ha first woken up there and they had put him in restraints and sedated him. It had been traumatizing for him and he still had a hard time being in his room at night because of it.

A light knocking on Harry door made him turn over so he could better see the door. "Come in." he called leaning on his elbow.

Ginny opened the door and came in followed by Harry three male nurses: Lucius Malfoy, Fenrir Greyback and Rabastan Lestrange. Harry was used to the three male nurses and was very happy that they were nothing like he remember them being.

"Good evening Harry." Lucius said walking over to check Harry's pillows.

"Evening, Lucius."

"How are you feeling tonight?"

"Pretty good, thanks."

"I heard your Parents came to see you today, how'd that go?" Lestrange asked taking a look through Harry's dream journal which he had started three months ago and the same time as his private therapy meetings with Dr. Lockhart.

"It was alright, I think they were disappointed that they couldn't take me home tonight." Harry said chuckling at the memory of his mother trying to sign him out earlier.

"Well it won't be long now." Ginny said smiling.

"Yeah..."

"Harry," Lucius said before he left the room after the others who had wish Harry good night and left to see their other patients. "Draco wanted to come and see you tomorrow, is that alright?"

"Yeah, it's been a while since he came."

"He's been going through his exams at school." Lucius explained smiling softly.

"He pass?" Harry asked.

"Yes, with top score and honors." Lucius said. "We're very proud of him."

"I'd bet."

"Well, I tell him."

"Thanks."

After he left, Ginny sat in the armchair and asked. "Who's Draco?"

"Lucius' son, he comes too see me every now and then, when he needs a laugh or to take a load off." Harry explained pulling on his long PJ pants and a white t-shirt. He smirked holding in a laugh when Ginny blushed after seeing his bare chest.

"Anyway, I really enjoy his visits."

"T-that's good." Ginny said holding her cheek to try and stop him from seeing her blush.

"Why are you are guard duty tonight?" Harry asked getting into his bed and lying down to look at the ceiling again.

"I'm not."

"Really?" Harry asked casting her a doubting look.

She flushed a bright red, as she replied with a weak, "Yeah..."

Harry turned to look at her and found she was staring at him. Her blush darkening, she looked down quickly embarrassed at being caught staring. Harry smiled softly, before saying in a strong voice. "You know I'll be out of here soon, I really am doing much better."

Ginny smiled still looking at the floor. "I know that." She said softly shifting in her seat to get more comfortable. "Harry, I was wondering..."

"Yes?"

"Um..." she let out a nervous laugh before looking up at him. "I was hoping you'd tell me more stories about your family."

Harry frowned, a deep sense of lose filling him, he wanted to tell her but if he did and he said the wrong thing she would tell Lockhart that he wasn't ready to be released, and he could be there another year. "Ginny, you know that was all part of my delusions. I don't have a wife or children."

Harry grimaced hoping that she hadn't noticed. It still hurt him to lie about not having his children and to say that Ginny wasn't his wife of almost fourteen years. "It was all in my head."

"I know." She said looking at her hands again. "I just really loved hearing them."

They were both silent for a long time, before Ginny looked up to see Harry silently crying, his eyes brimming over with tears. "Harry!" she asked alarmed.

Ginny shot up from her chair and run to his bed side, trying to find a way to comfort him. "I'm so sorry; I didn't mean to make you upset."

Harry was kicking himself, how could he actually cry over this? It wasn't the end of the world he'd see them again once he got out of this nightmare and found his way home. He was sure of it.

He was only worried that he was starting to forget details about his old life, like the color of his little girl's eyes, or the sound of the kids laughing and it was beginning to scare him.

"I'll tell you." He whispered hoping that his voice would come back to him, so that he could actually tell her about them.

"What?"

"I'll tell you, about them, as long as you'll let me out when the time comes." He said waiting to hear her answer.

Ginny smiled. "Yes, I promise."

Harry stood by his window staring out from between the bars looking at the green fields that expanded until they met the dense forest of dark trees. Truthful it reminded him of the Forbidden Forest, and he was wary of it being so close to the Hospital. Maybe it was what was affecting the people around him.

"Harry? Are you still up?" Lestrange asked coming into his room, his clip broad in hand. "You should be sleeping you have a big day tomorrow."

"I know." Harry said sighing. "I can't sleep." he had tried after Ginny left, but no matter how long he lay in his bed he couldn't fall asleep.

He had a bed feeling that he had forgotten something very important, or rather someone very important.

"Are you feeling any light headedness or nausea?" he asked checking Harry's pulse with two big fingers on his throat.

Truth be told, Harry had to keep himself from cringing every time one of his nurses touched him, his neck was stiff and his heart rate always got higher when they got too close, they were Death Eaters after all.

"Harry you need to relax, we can't get a proper reading when you always get nervous." Lestrange sighed checking something off on the clipboard.

"Yeah... Sorry." Harry said sheepishly, he sat on his bed watching Lestrange.

"Well, Harry everything seems to be fine, after tomorrow's evaluation with Dr. Lockhart, you'll most likely be heading home."

Harry smiled, nerves tugging at his stomach, he'd been feeling the pressure to get out a lot lately. There wasn't anything else he wanted more then to be out of this cursed place.

"Yeah after tomorrow I should be going home." Even as Harry said it he didn't believe it, he knew that something was keeping him here, keeping him away from his family, but he still didn't know what it was.

"Harry?"

"Humm."

"You should get some rest; tomorrow's going to be a long day."

"Yeah, think I will."

Harry lay staring at the ceiling for half an hour before drifting off into a restless sleep.

"...Daddy..." The small sweet voice was a whine in the back of his mind but it made him shoot up right searching the room for his little girl.

"Lily?"
