Hello readers! I have a few things to say this authors note before a continue with the story so, please read this. First off, I am so sorry for the wait. It was the holidays and my work just got too much. Also, I was trying to figure out just where I wanted this story to go. I'm still not completely sure but I figured you might want this chapter. Speaking of, any ideas that you have feel free to tell me and if I find it as a good idea, I might just use it :). Just kidding, I have an idea. Second, thank you to all who reviewed.
To hptrump: Hope you enjoy this chapter!
To scrappy8: Here you go!
Now, let us get on with the story.
I do not own Harry Potter.
Harry didn't want to wake up. He remembered having a nice dream, though he couldn't remember exactly what the dream was. Never the less, Harry was trying his hardest to hold onto sleep before having to face the world.
Harry felt a gentle pressure on his right side. Not knowing what the pressure was, he opened his eyes and found that Ginny was laying beside of him. Ginny's head was on Harry's shoulder and she looked completely at peace. Slowly, the events of the last day came back to Harry. His chasing of Snape, the Killing Curse, that strange dream. Harry supposed that if he and Ginny really were sharing dreams, she would wake up soon too. Almost like Ginny knew what Harry was thinking, Ginny opened her chocolate eyes. As chocolate met emerald and they looked at each other for an unknown amount of time, Harry had a revelation.
Harry knew that he loved Ginny to the bottom of his heart and he knew he would try his hardest, risk his life, to ensure that Ginny never is lost. That that happy, care free, loving look in her eyes stays there for as long as he lives.
And knowing he meant it scared him.
"Hey beautiful," he decided to greet quietly. To which she replied "Hey handsome."
After a moment of comfortable silence, Ginny once again spoke. "I wonder why Madam Promfrey allowed for us to be in the same bed." After a quick glance around the room, Harry saw that they were, in fact, in the hospital wing. The wing was also very empty, them two being the only two there. "I'm not sure." Harry brillantly replied. "It's not like they ran out of beds."
Soon after Harry replied the door opened and Madam Promfrey stepped in. She soon noticed that her two patients were indeed awake and hurried over to them. Before she could open her mouth to talk, Harry and Ginny began their questioning. "What happened?" "Why are we here?" "Why are we in the same bed" "How did the battle go?" "Did anyone die?"
Madam Promfrey went on with her business while they questioned her and, once she was done, told them that she would go get Professor McGonagall to explain what they knew.
Harry and Ginny sat in comfortable silence while they waited, but Ginny did choose to grab Harrys hand. As they were sitting there, Harry was trying to decide what he felt about the dream. Dumbledore had said that Ginny and Harry now shared a soul bond. Harry wasn't sure exactly what this meant but he also said something about sharing dreams. Before Harry could think anymore, Professor McGonagall walked in. Before Harry or Ginny could get a question out,she held up her hand for silence. "I know you two are confused, and so are we, but give me a few minutes to explain what we know, which isn't much. We are not sure why that light appeared, but the battle ended with the Death Eaters retreating. It appears that they didn't like that light at all. No one died on our side, and no one was injured. No one understands how you are still alive Harry, but everyone is happy none the less. Now, to answer your question about the sleeping arrangements. We put you two in seperate bed to begin with but not a minute after seperating you two Ginny would disappear and appear again in Harry's bed. It was almost like apparating, but without the sound. We tried to seperate you two several times but the same thing kept happening so we let you two sleep in peace. If this continues to happen while you two sleep, we might need new sleeping arrangements. Like I said before though, we are not sure why this is happening."
When the professor stopped talking, Harry and Ginny looked at each other before Harry spoke. "We know the reason, Professor." Harry then went on to explain the dream, what Dumbledore said and the soul bond. Once Harry stopped talking Professor McGonagall looked very thoughtful. "I need to go and do some research on this. I'll be back soon so please, go back to sleep. You will have a long day tomorrow." With that the professor left and Harry and Ginny fell asleep soon after.
