Chapter 42 - A Bed of Nails

Ginny POV

Where am I? Why am I here?

Why can't I open my eyes?

My body feels numb with pain. The numbness is all around me.

I feel like I'm on a bed of nails. In darkness.

Every so often a lone shoot of pain comes through the blanket of numbness.

It finds the one hole. The one tear.

I can't flinch with the pain. My body won't react.

It won't move.

I can hear rustling beside me. Sniffing.

Paper hankies wiping.

Where on earth am I?

Has some one died? My mum? My dad?

One of my brothers? Was there a fire?

Was the burrow destroyed? Was Hogwarts destroyed?

Am I dead? Is this what it feels like to be dead? When you are dead does numbness overtake you?

Am I dreaming? No, this is too real to be a dream.

I can hear what's going on around me. You can't do that if you are dreaming can you?

No you can't. Dreams are silent. Often scary.

"Knock knock," That sounds like someone knocking on a door.

"Come in," A teary voice floats around me and over to it.

"Hello Mrs Weasly and young Miss Weasly."

Does she mean me?

"Oh yes and mister Weasly." The voice added, "I am a Healer at St Mungos hospital Ginny. I am going to help you. You can't feel anything right now and that's the way it will stay."

I tried to nod but I couldn't. It was like my head was stuck in place with one thousand long pins.

"Why are you talking to Gin? Can she hear us?" That was my father's gruff voice.

"Yes she can hear us. You should try and talk to her. It will make the time pass quicker."

"Why is she like that though?" It was my mother's worried voice again.

"It was the only way to save her Mrs Weasly. We had to resort to muggle ways. She hit her head hard on several occasions. With that and also the injuries she sustained from the cruciaticus curse we found in best to put her in a medically induced coma. It will help her get better in the long run."

"Will she have any long term injuries healer?" That was my dad.

"We are not too sure My Weasly we have not had any one tortured so bad in since..."

"Alice and Frank Longbottom." My mother finished.

I could imagine her face right now.

It would be set in a stone position with the occasional tear dripping down her set face.
