Chapter 10-

Ginny Weasley woke up and looked around the dark room. From the clock over the fireplace, she saw that it was a little before 4am. Deciding to go check on Teddy, Ginny gently removed Harry's arm from around her waist and got off the couch. She padded across the hard wood floor, and quietly opened the door to the nursery. After shutting the door and casting a silencing charm around it, Ginny walked over to the crib and picked up the small, sleeping child. She gently laid her hand over his forehead and was again worried not only because his fever had not broken, but was rising. Suddenly, Teddy started to move but just as quickly stopped after readjusting himself so that his face was buried in the crook of Ginny's neck. Ginny, deciding that it would be safer to just let him sleep and then take him to Madame Pomfrey later, sat down in a rocking chair on the other side of the room. Holding Teddy close to her, she closed her eyes and began to gently rock. Before she knew it, she too had fallen asleep.

It wasn't too long after that when Harry, still on the couch, woke up to find the space on the couch next to him empty. Confused, Harry got off the couch and walked over to Ginny's room to check to see if she was there. When he found her missing, he walked to the next room, but stopped short at the door. He leaned his ear against the door, and hearing nothing, turned the knob and was suddenly met by loud screaming. He looked wildly around the room until his eyes rested on the sight of Ginny, red faced and crying, walking around the room, frantically trying to make Teddy stop crying.

"What the - … Ginny what is going on!" Harry cried as he stepped into the room.

"His fever is rising! And he won't stop crying. I can't make him stop!" Ginny cried as tears rolled down her cheeks.

Harry ran over and took Teddy from Ginny, and began to shush and sway with the screaming child. Within a minute, Teddy stopped crying, but continued to gaze up at his godfather. "I'm going to take him to Madame Pomfrey; I will be back in 10 minutes. I want to talk to you then." With that Harry walked out of the room, leaving Ginny sobbing into her hands.

Harry, after taking Teddy to the nurse, quickly walked back towards the suite that he, Ginny, and their friends shared. He fumed as he thought about this morning. Wasn't it bad enough that the child was sick, but Ginny, knowing that his fever was getting to dangerous levels, didn't take him to the infirmary; she didn't even wake Harry up. Didn't she trust him? Harry tried to wrap his mind around it all, but every time he thought about it, it just made him angrier. Finally, Harry walked into the nursery and looked at Ginny.

"What, in the name of Merlin, were you thinking, Ginny!" he said, knowing his voice was pushing shouting.

"I didn't know what to do! His fever wasn't that high when I got in there! And I was trying to wait a few minutes so that I didn't wake the whole castle taking him to the infirmary!" she shouted. She was tired, she was frustrated, and she was hurt that Harry was acting like this.

Harry looked at her, "Why are you yelling at me?" he shouted, allowing his voice to continuously rise. "This isn't my fault! Who cares if he woke up the whole castle! His temperature was 104.3! Ginny, if it got any higher, HE COULD HAVE DIED!" he screamed at her. "DON'T YOU CARE?! MERLIN!"

Ginny looked up at Harry as tears began to fall down her face. Slowly, she stood, walked up to Harry, and stopped less than a foot from his face. She glared into his eyes, her cheeks turning red from anger. Quietly, in a low voice, Ginny said, "Harry James Potter, I don't know where you get the idea that I don't care about that baby. I love him with all my heart, with all that I am. You and Teddy are the only reasons that I can get up in the morning. How dare you say that I don't care? I do, and you know it! Now I'm sorry if I didn't handle the situation in the best possible way or the way you would have, but that is what happened, and, thank Merlin, he's going to be ok, so I would appreciate it if you would just drop it. I know you think I was wrong, and believe me, I know I was, but I can't believe you are treating me like this, Harry. You act like I knew he was sick and I did nothing; just sat there and did my nails or something. Well I didn't. I did the best I could at that moment, and while I would do it different now, I can't believe you are attacking me about my motives toward him. You said you love me, but why would you treat someone you love like this. I do love you Harry. You have my everything, but I am not going to sit around and let you act like this. Get a hold of yourself, and come find me when you do." And with that, Ginny walked out of the nursery and out of the suite, leaving Harry standing there looking at where she stood just a moment ago.

Harry felt awful. Why had he said those things to her? Well, he knew why, he lost his temper. Something that he seemed to do far too much, causing him to hurt Ginny and others that he loved far too often. And what he hated was that she was right, he had acted like a git. Now he wished he could take it all back. He thought about running after her now to apologize, but knowing Ginny like he did, he knew she would need some time to cool off. He would find her later. Harry looked around the room. It was so quiet. Ron and Hermione were off…somewhere, and Teddy was in the infirmary with Madame Pomfrey, so Harry just walked out of the nursery, went to his room, and lay down on his bed looking up at the ceiling. Now, more than ever, was the time when Harry wished that Sirius or Remus or his dad was alive. He had no idea how to go from here. But already today, Harry had learned two lessons. One, when it came to Teddy, Harry let his emotions get ahead of him and didn't use his head. And two, he defiantly didn't deserve Ginny.
