Ginny

I was just hugging him...

"Ow ow ow! Ginny! Stop!"

I let go.

Tears started coming before I could stop them.

I hurt him. Badly.

"Oh Ginny! Don't cry love, you didn't hurt me. It just hurts randomly, everywhere."

"Harry, has this happened before? Tell me the truth!"

"Don't worry Ginny, I'm not going to lie. Yes, it has happened before. Not this bad, I can normally just go to the bathroom and I'm fine in 5-10 minutes. This time was different. Much worse. But it's fine, I'm fine."

"Harry, why didn't you tell me? And when did this start?"

"Not long ago, Gin. I think it started a few months ago and I have an excuse. In the beginning, I wouldn't black out, I just felt dizzy. So I thought nothing of it. It got worse a few weeks ago, and I started to actually faint. Still not for long though. And I would have told you, but you were pregnant and tired all the time. You threw up every time you cooked. If you had known I was sick, you wouldn't have let me do anything. You would have made me stay in bed, and taken care of everyone. You would take care of Albus, James, me, you, and the new baby. I didn't want you to do that."

I couldn't help it, I started crying. Not just tears, full on bawling. I buried my face in his shoulder and he hugged me. I hugged him back, but not too hard.

"Have you gone to St. Mungo's yet?"

"Yes, they don't have a cure, they've never seen this before. They do have an idea of what caused it... it was probably the fact that the killing curse was used on me, twice. I didn't die, but that doesn't mean nothing happened. They think it poisoned me and it took a long time to spread. That's why I was fine for 10 years since the second time."

"Ok, I have a few more questions, but do we take you to St Mungo's?"

"It's fine, I'll be fine soon. But I do need to go to the bathroom."

"Ok, Draco can you help him please?"

"Sure..."

Draco stood up and got Harry standing. They took a step, but Draco tried to take another just a second later. Harry needed a minute and couldn't step fast enough. I watched in horror as everything happened almost in slow motion.

Harry started falling backwards. Draco realized and turn, trying to catch Harry. Except, he tripped and fell backwards. Draco landed on the floor, but he was fine. He got up in a few seconds. Harry however, landed on me. I had tried to move but couldn't move fast enough. Hermione and Draco both jumped up and ran to help the second they saw. Somehow, they managed to get Harry up and off me, but it still took a few minutes. By then, I knew I would be hurt. As Draco put Harry on the sofa, I looked at Harry's face. He was crying and staring at me. I tried to sit up to see but Hermione pushed me back down. I looked at her face, she was concentrating on fixing me but I could see tears on her face too. I knew that Harry might be crying since he fell on me and Hermione because she's pregnant, I looked at Draco's face. He wasn't crying, but he was close. I could see clearly that he was staring at me. As I was watching, the first tear came out of his eye. That did it for me and I started crying.

"Hermione! Harry! Malfoy! What the heck is happening?"

I couldn't see much, but I saw all three exchanged a look. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Harry nod.

Then Hermione started talking.

"Look Ginny, I'm not sure what's happening. I numbed the area, but you're losing a lot of blood. If you feel faint, don't worry."

"WHAT ABOUT THE BABY?? Is it okay? Mione? Harry? Draco? Please? Someone tell me!"

"I don't know Ginny, I definitely don't have the proper spells or equipment to scan and check on the baby. All I know is you will be fine."

"NOOOOOO!!!! Harry! We. Need. This. Baby!!"

I was crying so much now. I couldn't see anything.

I heard the phone ring. I heard Hermione tell Draco to sit next to me and monitor everything. I felt Hermione stand up and Draco come sit next to me. I also felt Harry scooch closer and kiss my head. I put my hand up and squeezed his. He squeezed mine back and I turned and smiled at him. He smiled at me and then kissed me on the lips for a long time.

I love you Harry James Potter

I stared at him till he fell asleep. Then I kissed his cheek and turned back around. When I did, I saw Draco smirking at me.

Draco

I smirked at Weasley and Potter. She turned around.

"Shut up Malfoy!"

"I didn't say anything!"

"You thought it!"

"You don't know that!"

"Yes I do!"

"No you d- Oh my god! Potter! Granger! Come here! Something happened to Weasley!"

No one responded so I tried again, with their real names.

"Hermione! Get over here! Ginny's bleeding, bad!"

Hermione ran here.

Hermione

I had been talking to Ron about what happened, telling him to come here. I told him to leave the kids at Molly and Arthur's. He said he'll be here in a minute or two.

"Hermione! Get over here! Ginny's bleeding, bad!" I heard Draco scream for me. He used my real name, not Granger, so I knew it was important. I told Ron to hurry and hung up. Then I ran.

She was bleeding, really bad. She was also half unconscious and her breathing was weak and shallow. Every time she took a breath, her body shook.

I got some napkins and told Draco to clean the blood. I put a few more spells on her and made sure she was okay. I turned around and saw that Harry was sitting up the best he could, stroking her hair.  He was also shaking, even worse than Ginny.

Then I heard the crack of air: Ron! He had come facing the other way. He turned and I saw the shock on his face.

"What happened? Is Ginny okay? Is Harry okay? Why is Malfoy here? Are you okay?"

"No time to explain, Ginny and Harry aren't completely okay, but they're fine for now. Draco is helping me, so be nice. And I'm fine."

"Okay, that's good. How are you feeling? What can I do?"

"I'm fine, just really tired. You can start by getting water for Harry and Ginny, Draco do you want something?"

"I'll take water."

"Okay then Ron. Water for all of us please. And maybe something to eat?"

"Sure, I'll be right back." Then he kissed me and left.

No one talked until Ron came back. He brought water and nachos. Normally, Ron's nachos are my favorite. He put them down and helped Draco feed Harry and Ginny. They both said that I should eat. I drank water and then picked up a nacho. I was about to eat it when I realized how sick it made me feel. I dropped it and ran to the bathroom.

The only bathroom close enough was the one with no door and Harry's blood all over the floor. I didn't have a choice though. I just threw up. I knew everyone was watching, but it really didn't matter.

In a few seconds, Ron was there. He helped me clean up and then got me something else to eat. Then he took me to the sofa and told me to sit down and wait.

The whole time, Draco was watching. He hid it well, but I thought I saw a hint of sadness in his eyes. Maybe even jealousy?

It was 6:45 by now and the doorbell rang. Everyone else was busy, so I got up to answer it. It was Ron's parents.
