Harry was out for over a day before he came around, Poppy saying it was natural for his body seemed to be in serious need of rest, and Remus knew his son had barely been sleeping for the last month or more, since the problems with Ginny. They could tell he was spooked and badly shaken when he had come around, the fact he had been in severe shock even before they had brought him to safety, and they were not certain what the last thing he would remember would be. Remus and Dora, who her husband had enlisted her parents' help to get to go to a proper bed for the sake of both of their sons, but she had returned to be with both the men she loved. Harry's brothers were there for him, and Severus had not left his bed side, reminding the others it was the weekend, besides next week was Easter, last week in April Remus was the only one who knew about Harry and Severus, well Draco and Lucius who soon joined them as well, but everyone assumed it was because of summer.
Harry's eyes had fluttered open, and if his surprise was about the infirmary or simply about having them all around him, they were not certain. Since he did not break any bones, there was not a lot to heal and for now Harry needed to simply needed time to rest and heal. Luckily he had no quidditch coming up, the last game not for another month, for he would not be on a broom for some time to come.
Harry looked towards the red heads and asked. "Is she okay? Did I save her?"
They realized he did not remember anything. Bill answered for the others. "You did. Ginny is alive because of you."
They explained what had happened, for it seemed Harry could not remember anything after lunging to grab Ginny. Poppy assured them it was the shock and injuries, and memories might come back, but they were not certain he needed to remember what happened. They told Harry that Ginny had been committed to the psych ward and would remain there for the help she had so obviously been in need of. His brothers were so grateful for what Harry had done; they loved their little sister through this all and were grateful he would risk his life for her after all she had done to him.
Harry was a bit over whelmed with everyone and the Weasleys and Malfoys took their leave, Draco said he would tell their friends how Harry was. Severus remained as well as Dora and his dad; he was told his grandparents would likely come soon.
Severus ignored the others and bent and kissed Harry on the lips. "I was so worried about you. I thought we lost you when you went over the ledge."
Harry did not care his dad was watching at first, and returned the kiss. "I was so scared too, but she was like a little sister to me once, and I could not let her die"
Assuring Harry they had expected no less of him, for Harry had always been willing to risk it all for people, even those who had betrayed him. Severus made Harry smile when he said he might have to stop saying quidditch was a useless hobby, for they knew it was his muscles from it, which saved Harry and Ginny from dying. Harry reminded the man he liked watching, and he cheered Harry and Draco on, he just complained. Severus could not deny that, but he would be happy when Harry changed houses in the fall and he could cheer for one team.
After a second kiss from Severus Harry heard his dad clear his throat and he suddenly realized he had been kissing Severus in front of his dad Like when Severus realized Remus knew, Harry knew his dad would learn sooner or later, but he was worried.
Remus came and kissed his son on the head. "I saw the two of you kissing when Dora and I came back from our honeymoon Harry. I am okay with this."
Harry was both relieved and shocked. "Really?"
Remus did not tell Harry that Severus knew, that was between them, he simply assured his son he could handle this. It was obvious the two took it slow, and Harry admitted it was the first time since the kiss Remus walked in on, they had kissed, and he was okay. He only asked they keep slow, he did not want Harry even considering marriage till his graduation and Severus assured the man if he and Harry got there, he would want Harry to have a chance at work and such, before marriage and kids. Remus could tell the if was Harry, for if Severus had his way, Remus knew Severus wanted marriage and kids with Harry.
Dora decided to switch topics for Harry needed a smile. "Your grandparents will be here soon. You know mum is starting to think she was prophetic in job choice."

Even after saving his sister, Ron had been a prat, though Hermione seemed to keep him in check a bit. Harry finished out the school year, winning the cup for Gryffindor for the last time, for he had every intention of re-sorting in the fall, and being a snake, he already practically was one. He was happy for the summer, this year he went straight to his dad, did not have to hide where he was, or who he was They were at Malfoy Manor again after Draco's birthday which they spent on the coast and had a muggle inspired surfing and bonfire part.
Harry screamed when the morning after the party he had found a dead jelly fish in his bed, and was reminded of the snakes. His brothers calmed him, assuring him Ginny was still in a padded cell and likely would be for years to come, but they too were worried about it. Harry had no idea, but Ron had been spying on him the past few months, but Draco and his friends kept him at bay. They had changed the date and location of Charlie an Oliver's wedding to keep the boy's day special
The day before their wedding and a week after Draco's seventeenth birthday, Bill went to see Percy. "Was it you or mom?"
Percy looked at him in confusion. "What the hell are you going on about? I need to get back to work?"
Bill told his brother about the jelly fish, and reminded him about the dead animals when Ginny was a kid. Percy knew as well as Bill did being bi-polar could run in the family, and there had been times when their mother showed signs, she had periods of depression, especially after the twins were born. It was passed off as being for her twin brothers had died recently, but Bill wondered. If Molly and Arthur had been unable to see or acknowledge Molly had issues, it would explain why they had been unable to see it in Ginny. Trauma sometimes made it come out, and the chamber had made Ginny worse, and maybe Molly finally was pushed over.
Percy smirked. "Just because mum suffered post partum, and perhaps had problems with cleaning and such......"
Bill stopped him. "Perce please, you know what happened with Ginny, and we both know it was more then cleanliness. Harry survived Ginny. Next time?"
Molly had gone into times when she was suddenly believe the entire house was filthy and would go for days without sleep, and rant about even a spec. Bill remembered taking a crying two year old Percy, and using the floo even though too young, to Muriel's home, with Charlie too. Muriel had kept them two weeks, after learning Molly who had recently given birth to the twins, had gone after her two year old with a broom, and locked him in a closet. Percy gratefully was too young to remember that episode, but it was not the last, and Muriel had tried to convince her nephew to get his wife help, but he said it was post partum.
He looked at Percy. "I know Ron is living with you guys for the summer. If not for Harry who saved our sister, please think about our brother."
Percy sighed and nodded. "Mum knew where the party was being held, Ron told her. She blames Harry for Ginny. I am trying, but she won't listen to me."
For a moment he felt such sorrow for Percy, and was reminded of the two year old he rescued from the closet and who spent three months sleeping with him or not at all. He swore to Percy he would do what he could, but they had to work together, for Harry was not the only one who could get hurt in all of this. Arthur seemed to be the only one who seemed to be able to calm her, and with him in prison, there was serious concern.
Bill hugged his brother. "No matter what has gone on, you're my little brother. You need some help, if she gets worse, please get help."
