Ciao Ladies! Sorry about the wiat but here is the post as promised!

Post 37

It was dark when I woke up in the hospital wing. I could only assume it was after midnight as madam pomfrys office light was out and you could not hear footsteps of pupils parading the corridors. My right arm and shoulder was strapped up in a bandage and all the way around my ribcage. Harry was sleeping in the chair beside my bed with his hand in my right resting beside me. "Harry," I whispered not wanting to startle him. Harry. I shook his hand a little and he blinked a few times before coming around. "Hey, how are you feeling?" He asked me sleepily.
"I can't feel anything. I'm fine Harry, but your very tired. You should go back to the dorm. I'll be here in the morning."
He looked at his watch that was once his fathers. "Gin, it is the morning. I've been here most of the night. You've slept right through from about four o'clock yesterday evening. It's now five am. Go back to sleep." He kissed my forehead and settled back in his chair.
"I can't sleep. I'm awake now." I moaned.
"Scooch over," Harry said getting up and sliding under the covers.
"If Madam Pompfry comes out she'll kill us. I'm pretty sure she'll send us to Askaban if she finds us in the same bed!" I smiled but at the same time being serious.
"I'd go to Askaban anyday for you Gin. Is your arm still hurting?" He asked as I snuggled up to his side and rested my bad arm across his chest. "It's hot and throbbing slightly but it doesn't hurt. It's like it's got a heart beat." I told him. "It's in time with yours" I laughed half sitting up drumming my fingers to his heartbeat. He took my hand and kissed the palm. Then yawned. "You should go back to the dorm for an hour or two. I'll still be here later on. I hope to get out today anyway. And we can still go to your mum and dads grave, if you like." He hung his head.
"Dumbledore doesn't want us to. He said that its in the interest of my own safety that I should not be going. Plus he said that anyone working for Voldemort could be watching over places where I might go and I'd hate for anything bad to happen to you. I couldn't live with myself if anthing did." He looked down at my head that was resting on his chest and gazed deep into my eyes.
"We're in this together Harry. You can't keep lookng out for me. You should be watching your own back. That should be your top priority!"
"Ok, I'll go back. I'm meeting Ron this morning anyway for quidditch practice. I'll get showered and cleaned up then I'll come back to see you."
"Ok-doke, I'm getting out of here anyway. She'll give me some skelgrow and then I'll be fine. Take you time."
"Your too brave! I was in for two days and you've only been in overnight. I think you'll be very lucky to get out." He kissed me affectionatly before tucking me in under my covers and kissing my forehead ."
"Thank you. And I love you Harry. Oh and thank you for the flowers and sweeties"
"I know you do honey. I love you too. And your very welcome. Try to get some more sleep. I'll come by first thing." He got up and left. I watched through the gap in the curtains as he walked away then turned around to blow me a kiss. Then I snuggled back under the warmth of the covers, resting my eyes untill daylight.

*****

"Good morning, Miss Weasley. How are you feelng this morning?" I jumped and my eyes flew open to Madam Pomfrey pulling the curtains back around my bed.
"Um... fine. Yeah, I feel much better! I would be ok to leave this morning I think."
"Well that's for me to decide, Dear. I'd like to keep you in just tonight and then you can go tomorrow. I'll give you some skelgrow today and we'll see how you get on. I might even let you out tonight." I smiled sweetly at her and she hurried away to her office.

I sighed heavily knowing I had a second night to stay in the hospital wing but still hoping to get out. I could here footsteps coming up the corridor. It would be Harry I though to myself. But whoever it was stopped outside the curtains around my bed and took a deep breath. "Ginny," Hermione sighed
"So what brings you here. You haven't exactly bothered with me the past few days. Shouldn't you be off having a good old gossip with Cho Chang over a cup of tea?"
"Oh Ginny, please don't be like that, I'm here to make emends"
"About what exactly?"
"Um...Well, Ron told me."
"Told you what?" I wasn't for giving in. I was going to make sure she knew how angry I was at her and see what she had to say for herself.
"I'm really sorry Ginny. I should never have said a thing like that about you. I worry, thats all. Your like my sister. I would hate for anything to come between us."
"Save it Hermione..."
"I just don't want to see you hurt. Harry has too much going on for him and you are both just a distraction for each other."
"Oh Please! And whats that supposed to mean... You just said you didn't mean any of it. There you go again Hermione! You change your tune like you change your clothes, your unbelievable!"
"I'm really sorry, what more do you want me to say!"
"I don't know. I just think that your supposed to be my friend. Your ment to stick up for me! It's Ron I'd expect that sort of thing from but all through it he's been the one defending me! What happened to our friendship Hermione? We used to be so close."
"Well maybe if you wern't sucking the face off of Harry half the time we could maybe do more things together!"
"Oh I'm sorry, I forgot, you must be jelous! Cause you and Ron don't even show any signs of affection for one and other! So don't you dare start blaming the fact that Harry and I love each other and spend time with each other because you happen to want to go with Harry to his parents grave. That's part of your problem Hermione, you don't listen! You won't take no for an answer. And anyway, were not even going. Dumbledore said he'd rather we didn't." My voice faded into a whisper..."I'm sorry too."
Then I burst into tears. Hermione came and sat on the edge of my bed and wrapped her arms around my shoulders. "I've brought you something." Sho told me pulling away and wiping my tears. She handed me a large parcel. I quickly but carefully unwrapped it. I picked up the piece of cloth in the box. It was the dress. The Second one. A black and green pattern and the staps crossed over at the back. Lots of little dimanti "Oh Hermione, I love it but when did you get it?"
"Yesterday. I watched you try it on and then you couldn't pick between the two, but this was my favourite. I went down after the quidditch trials. Though Ron insisted that he'd pay for it. Its a get well soon present for his little sister."
"Well I plan to be well and out of here by tonight."
"Your being very optomistic Ginny!"
"Well I won't get anywhere if I'm not." I said. She wiped away my tears. "Stupid teenage girl hormones!" I muttered to her and she laughed as she sat on the chair beside my bed.
"Woah. TMI sis. brothers don't want to know about that sort of thing!" He had just came in but pretended to back away with his fingers in his ears. He spotted the smiles on both Hermione's and my face then smiled at both of us. Then unexpectedly he ran over to us "Oh big brither hugs!" He said squishing us together as the three of us laughed. He helped himself to my stash of sweets mum and dad had sent me, grabbing my half-eaten cauldron cake that I was leaving for later and one of the two chocolate wands. He then flopped down beside me on the bed. I stared at him incredulously. "What?" he asked with his mouth full.
I shook my head. "If you want mum and dad to send you a hamper of sweets like they did for their darling daughter, why don't you fall off a broom Ron."
"Because I'm the smart one. I won't fall off the broom and then I'll eat you sweets, its a win, win situation for me Ginerva." He proclaimed speaking in his matter of fact tone. I stuck my toungh out at him. I remembered the dress and picked it up folding it. "Thank you, Ron" I told him, puting it back in its box. I kissed his forehead and gave him a hug. "Your welcome, I'm just glad you two are talking again! And now I've been fed so I'm offskay! I'll see you in the common room Hermione" He waved bye and left. After hour of chatting with Hermione, she got up and streched. "I'll need to head back Ginny, and feed the Gruffalo!"
"The what!" I asked, mouth hannging open!
"Oh never mind, childrens book character that basically every muggle should know! But I'm refering to Ron! He'll be wanting fed since I told him I'd make him and Harry tea cause they were going to go play quidditch this morning first thing, thats why Ron is up so early. I was surprised he was actually awake when I was making myself tea before coming here. I thought it was only food that he would get up for!" I shook my head, it sounds so like Ron.
"Isn't it weird that your at school but not doing any school work?" I asked her.
"A little," she shrugged. "I'll see you later."
Little did I know, things were about to change and in the short term, be great, but for the long term....well.....

Ok so this post is partly based on a true story! Katie, Your a saint and I don't know what I'd do without you!
So how was it......xx

That is too true, I'm glad Dumbledore stopped them...
I'm glad they made up

What does that mean??
Great post, Sophie! Please PAMS!

Hello Sophie. Ah so nice to get to read your ff again! This is wonderful Sophie. Your Ginny is such a natural person. I love how she is so real. This is one of the things I love in ff's that make me enjoy them so much. Well, she should be sorry. She shouldn't have said the things she said. And it was her that let something come between them. I wonder if she would be honest with herself, she was jealous that Harry was going with Ginny and not her and Ron. At any rate, I'm so glad they made up. Sophie, I laughed and laughed at this! It's like Huffleumps and Woozles! Sophie... What is going to happen? Is it time for Harry to leave already? I hope you can post really soon.
Love your story Sophie, and I love how well you tell it! I'll be watching for my notification.

EVERYBODY ITS MY FAULT IT HAS TAKEN SO LONG, SORRY!

I loved this post, the way the made up and how they both were sisters again - seems kinda familiar, must be a memory I chose to wipe (Love you)

I'm not a saint!!!! I took ages to Beta, I winge all the time, I don't post often enough, I haven't done a major thing to make me a saint NO WAY JOSE AM I A SAINT!!

Thanks Dear!

Aww thanks Connie, that means alot to me! I though you'd be looking forward to the post

I am too. I didn't like writing them fall out. It didn't seem right!

Ah form Winneh the Pooh!!! I'm so glad you got it *hi-5 Connie!* The Gruffalo, (apart from Mabel Murple) is my favourite Childrens book!

I wish I could tell you but I don't want to spoil it. But here is something to think about, if it was that Harry was leaving, would that not be happening pretty soon, and I said that things were good in the short term! So have a wee think!

Thank You Connie! Your a fab reader and love all your comments!

OMG! I JUST HAD JE JA VIEW! Just as I went to reply!


Don't be daft Katie! I could have gave it to you earlier!

Post 38

"Afternoon Miss Weasley. Why, you have been inindated with visitors, I have not been able to give you this," Madam Pomfrey said forcing a small glass cup to my lips. "This will help the remainder of the healing process." I threw my head back and let the foul liquid run down my throat.
"Madam Pomfrey?" I asked shuddering at the medicine. "will I get out tonight?"
"Perhaps" she thought for a moment. "You have been a very good patient. You are a very fast healer, Miss Weasley. How about I let you out just before dinner? But you will have to attend class tomorrow. And no quidditch for a week or two."
"Yes Madam Pomfrey!" I beamed.

***

I got up out of the bed and streached my good arm! Then wriggled about a bit to get my joints working. I summoned my little purple bag that Ron had brought down for me when I was first admitted to the hospital wing. I pulled out the clean pair of clothes and waved my wand over the pile and then myself. My pyjamas now sat in the spot where the clothes once were and I was now in fresh clean clothes. It was a feeling I had missed from being stuck in pyjamas the past few days, and I wouldn't usually complain!
As I was putting the remainder of my of my belongings into the bag, two arms formed there way around my waist and a chin rested on my shoulder. "Afternoon Gin." Said Harry. He kissed my cheek and sat down on the side of the bed.
"Hi." I replied. I kissed his hair then continued packing.
"Your getting out?" He asked surprised.
"Of course. I'm a fast healer apparently and I'm desperate to get out of here. Get some proper alone time with you." I sat down on his knee side ways and pulled out my wand and pointed them at the curtains that in a swift movement closed around us. I moved my lips closer to his and he made the final move, kissing my softly. His hands grapsed my waist tighter and pulled me closer to him. My arms wrapped themselves around his shoulders. It had been too long since we'd spent time together, though I think my trip to the hospital wing made it seem like an eternity. I pushed Harry down againt the pillows and continued to kiss him untill I heard footsteps. We pulled ourselves back up at sat in silence waiting for the noise to pass, both heavily panting. Our heartbeats thumped together loudly but whoever it was had walked straight past. They had spoiled the mood, though Harry didn't seem to think so. He resumed kissing me down my cheek and all the way up and down my neck. I didn't push him away but simply asked, "So is the Team list up yet?"
"Mmm, not yet, I'll put it up tonight, after dinner." He told me between kisses. I pulled his lips to mine and kissed him fiercely.
"And is my name on it?"
"MmmHmm....don't know" Then I pushed him away.
"Well until it is, there is no more this." He seemed bewildered as I went back to clearing out the little cupboard where I kept a spare pair of pyjamas and slippers. Still sitting on the side of the bed, he took my hand and pulled me to him. I stayed standing as he hugged me and didn't give in to his softness. He stood up eventually and without warning, kissed me fully then sat down on the bedside chair, delighted with himself. I sat down to in frustration. What was he even trying to pull. He smiled at me then I forgot all about it.
"So what about the boy that got me in here. Is he on the list?"
"Yes, the bad list. And the bad list is not a place you want to be!"
"Harry, that boy has talent. I don't care how much you think you hate him cause he managed to stop me scoring, but you've got to put him on the team".

At that moment, our conversation was interrupted by someone who caughed loudly, then peeped their head around the pastel coloured curtain. "Hi there, I'm Craig. Craig Burgess. I'm the one who knocked you off your broom. I'm really sorry". Then he held out a bunch of flowers.21,67,42
I'm smiled and held out my hand and introduced myself. "Ginny Weasley, the first one who'll make the team!" I laughed, Harry smirked and the little third year who I now know as Craig smiled but blushed, very embarrased.
"Harry, why don't you ask Madam Pomfrey for a vase to put these flowers in?" I handed him the bunch as he grunted and tore the curtain away from his path and continued to her office. It was a tad awkward.
"Sweet?" I asked him as I offered a box of Berty Botts Every Flavored Beans.
"Sure" he took the box from my hands and began to munch, occasionally making faces at the more disgusting ones.
"So," he said eventually "Did I do much damage?"
"Well, not too much. A few broken ribs and a dislocated shoulder. Nothing magic can't fix!" I smiled brighty.
"I'm...really, really...ever so sorry about, everything...I'm so sorry." He said nodding his head towards my bandages.
"Well I'm just glad it's my right hand. It means I don't need to do school work for a few days. But no quidditch for a few weeks."Harry came back in with the flowers. "Thanks for my flowers. They're lovely!"
"So, um...Do you know when your getting out?"
"Yes! Tonight actually, just before tea time." Again I smiled. He was so sweet. "The team list should be up tonight too!"
"Aww. OK." He didn't seem too enthusiastic.
"Well you did well at the trials, so you should go and see who you'll be playing alongside." I put my hand to my mouth and pretended to whisper. "And if it has anything to do with me, you'll make the team." I smiled, Craig laughed, and to my surprise, Harry joined in.
"Well I'm glad you're healing but I must go. I've got potions next. See you around Ginny. Bye Harry." Craig left after redeeming himself. Then Harry turned around quickly. "I've got a surprise for you." He said excitedly.
"Really? And what is that?" I was excited too.
"Well you know this thing Dumbledore wants me to do?"
"Yeah this whole task thing that you can't tell me about."
"Yeah well, on the way back from Quidditch this morning, Proffessor McGonagall said he wanted a word with me and Ron came with me and stuff, but he said he wants us to stay at school. He doesn't want us doing it anymore and said that he feared he was depriving us of our education. Plus he said that we could go on to do pretty much anything as long as we got good exam results this year."
"So you don't need to be away doing these ridiculous tasks?" He nodded. "Thats great Harry." I threw my arms around him. "So now what happens with the task? Will Dumbledore take care of it? Or will you do it?"
"Yeah something like that." He hugged me back. I was totally overwhelmed. I was so glad he was going to be safe and no harm was to come to him. I hugged him back with all my might knowing everything was going to be alright. He was with me. He was safe.

Great posty

I think you meant necessary darling!! No worries

I liked this post, I like Craig too

Is he the one I thought was good looking by the way??

PAMS PAMS

K xx

Thanks

I'm so bad at spelling *goes to fix it*

I though you'd like Craig, it made sense cause he plays rugby in real life so he is sporty and yes thats the cousin you think is handsome *rolls eyes*

Great post, Sophie! Loving the colors Please PAMS! Sorry for the shortness; I just really need to get some homework done... =/

Thanks Emily! I know you do colours and I've been reading another fic where the writer does the same and the readers said it was easier to read! So I though it may make your job easier (plus green and purple are my favourite colours!)

Oh don't worry about it. All comments are good
And I have exams next week so I really should be studying
