It was about after midnight, and I still sat on the same chair after I kissed Harry. After he told me he still loved me. After Ginny found out and left crying. Guilt filled me, from my toes to my head. My body felt exhausted, but my brain was wide awake. I decided to just at least try to do my best and fall asleep. My eye lids dropped to a close and I let out small steady breaths.
After about I don't know maybe, 5 minutes or so I heard the portrait door swing open. I guessed it was just another student coming in late. My eyes opened slowly, to see who was there. But to my surprise when I did, I saw Ginny. She was standing in front of me, her cheeks were tear stained, and her wand was pointed at me. I jumped in my seat, eyes wide with surprise.
"Ginny, put the wand down." I told her calmly, putting my hands up to show her I was unarmed.
"You kissed Harry. You ruined everything." She hissed, stabbing my heart with the wand.
"I didn't mea—"I started to say but Ginny cut me off.
"Never again, will you ruin every sort of happiness I have Moore." She whispered.
I fumbled for my wand inside my robe pocket, and shakily pointed it at Ginny. Damn this girl was getting scary.
"Expelliamus." She hissed and my wand flew into her waiting hand.
For once in my life, I was actually scared of Ginny. I knew what she was capable, remembering what she had done while Dumbledore's Army was still together. I closed my eyes and said a silent prayer then reopened them.
"SECTRUMSEMPRA!" Ginny bellowed.
Instantly I felt a surge of agony rush through me. Blood spurted from my chest and legs; it was so painful, like someone has been slashing me with a knife. I let out a blood-curdling cry and blood started to spill from my cuts and scars on my arm, and more blood started to come out from my face.
I watched Ginny, stagger back her hand clasped on her mouth.
"What is wit—bloody hell." I heard Ron's voice say, and heard his footsteps as well as several other rush over.
I screamed my lungs out. I saw Hermione, Harry, Ron and the twins faces struck with utter horror. The portrait door swung open and Professor McGonagall stepped through it, rushing over to the chair I was sitting in.
"Merlin's beard." She mumbled to herself.
The pain started fading away and my screaming stopped. I was now breathing heavily, blood still escaping the wounds from Ginny's spell.
"Someone bring her to the hospital . And Ms. Weasley..." McGonagall said then I blocked out her stern and annoying voice.
I looked over to Ginny, her wand still out, which made it kinda obvious she was the one who cast the spell on me. Harry picked me up bridal style and started to carry me to the hospital wing. I heard the others footsteps right behind us. I shut my eyes, and then everything went black.
When I awoke, my vision was blurry; I had to blink a couple of times for it to go into focus. The golden trio and the twins were standing above me, staring.
"She's awake." Fred announced.
"No really? I didn't notice" His twin sarcastically said.
I sat up rubbing my forehead and my left elbow keeping me up.
"How ya feeling?" Hermione asked me, giving me a small smile.
I said nothing, just rubbed my forehead and closed my eyes.
"Blimey, I think she's broken," Ron said. "Lexi, say something."
"Something." I said smugly.
"Well, her personality and smug-ness is fine." Ron mumbled.
"What happened to Ginny?" I asked looking up at my friends.
Everyone looked at one another, and then back at me. Oh this isn't going to be good.
"Well, Ginny could be sent to Azkaban for awhile." Harry said disappointed.
I gasped."B-but she—"I said getting cut off by Harry.
"Only if you press charges." He explained.
"Well I'm not going to. I'm not letting Ginny go to Azkaban."
The Weasley brothers let out a sigh of relief. Pfft, they must have thought I would send their only sister to Azkaban. I'm not that harsh.
Harry turned to the others. "Guys could I talk to Lexi, alone?"
Everyone nodded and left me saying 'goodbyes' and 'goodnights'.
"Yes Harry?" I asked confused about what he wanted to talk to me about.
"About what I said and the kiss...and I was thinking."
"Yeah?"
"Do you want to get back together?" He asked awkwardly scratching the back of his neck.
I looked down at my blood stained robes and white blanket. I wanted to get back together with Harry, really. But I didn't know if I should at the moment. I let out a sigh.
"No."
Harry blinked, confused.
"I can't. Not after what's happened. And with Ginny. I'm sorry Harry, maybe later on...but not now." I explained.
Harry looked hurt. "Oh, alrighty then. Goodnight Lex." He leaned in and kissed my forehead before standing up and leaving me alone in the dark silent hospital wing.
I sighed and fell back onto the bed. I covered my myself with the blanket and fell asleep.
