"I forgot."
Pitch Black.
Heavy Breathing.
Hands in my hair.
A knock at the door.
"Ginny?"
"Ginny?"
I hear the door slowly open - "Ginny!"
"Ginny are you okay? Whats going on? Talk to me Ginny!" It's Harry. The last person I want to see. "Ginny, hon, talk to me, tell me whats wrong. Come on, please, what's one thing you can see? Ginny?"
"One - um - I-I see y-your eyes. Green." Stop. I did not just say that.
"Uh-huh, good deep breaths, Gin. In... out. Two things you can hear?"
"I - um - you, and ... um Ron and Hermione?" I manage to gasp out.
"Yeah!" Harry laughs. Is he laughing at me? How could he laugh at me in a moment like things. Does he hate me? He probably does. He probably - "Three things you can smell? Gin, love?" Harry says, breaking me out of my thoughts.
"I - um - I-I-I smell strawberries and - um - flowers, I -er - I smell you, like - like - like broomsticks and - um - sandalwood. I - I - I - I" I kept on stuttering.
"Ginny? Hon? Come on, love, you're alright, you're safe with me." Harry tells me, soothingly.
He picks me up, sits down on my bed, with my head cradled to his chest, and slips his arm around my waist, resting his hand on my back. Why is he being so kind? Is he trying to manipulate me to make me think he's sweet, and then take advantage of me? Like Tom?
"Gin, as long as I'm here, no one can hurt you." Harry states. "Do you think you've calmed down enough to be able to tell me what's going on?"
Still breathing heavily, I manage to get out, "You - 'I forgot' - hour ago - hurt - thought you cared - I - can't - forget - hurt - thought no one - cared - me."
"I did this?" Harry questioned.
I nodded slowly, "I - sorry." I say, looking up at him.
Harry shakes is head at me. "No, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that, no matter how pissed I was. You did nothing to deserve any of it. You didn't deserve what happened in the chamber, and you didn't deserve my snapping at you. I didn't forget, I don't think I'll ever forget the chamber. Honestly, love, I thought you had died. I didn't even know you that well, and yet the thought of you - one of the kindest, bravest girls I've ever met - being dead, scared the absolute crap out of me. I love you so much more than you'll ever know, love. I messed up today and I know that. I am so, so sorry, could you ever forgive me?"
I had calmed down a lot more while listening to him. "Yes, I forgive you". I wrap an arm around his neck and an arm around his waist, and cuddle into him more comfortably. He tightens his grip on me, and l leans down to kiss my hairline. I look up at him, put my hands in his hair and pull his head down to kiss me. Although, I guess I kissed him. After a few seconds, he pulls away and looks into my eyes.
"I love you even more than you'll ever know." I tell him.
"I highly doubt that." He retorts, kissing me once more. Seconds later, Hermione opens the door.
"Oh! I am so sorry!" She exclaims, shutting the door again...
"SIRIUS! CODE RUBIES AND EMERALDS IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW!" We hear her scream.
We laugh and look at each other.
"I love you." We say in unison.
