Hinny forever and always

23: Safe well... Ish

Harry POV:
I woke up in a hospital wing bed next to Ginny, I remembered the horrible events of yesterday, I couldn't believe it, everything was going so well, they were acting fine... I clutched my neck as I turned to kiss Ginny, my neck was really achey, my head pounded and I saw my leg in a cast, I sighed heavily.

Gin must've felt me move because she woke up slowly and turned to face me, "morning" she said with a grimace, my wife was nearly raped yesterday. "Morning love" I replied sharing her grimace, she slowly settled against her chest, I guess she was sore too. I hated them both.

I looked her up and down checking for injuries, she seemed okay, she was bruised in several places and her face looked worse for wear, she looked pretty down but I think she was okay, I however had my leg in a cast, my head bandaged, I had bruises and bloody cuts everywhere, I had a black eye and felt really stiff and sore.

"We have class today" she said quietly, "do you still want to go?" I asked, she nodded, "fine but I'm skipping classes to stay with you all day" I said, she looked at me, "no Harry, you need your education, you want to be an auror, you need to work hard to get good grades" she said, I shook my head, "they'll let me be an auror anyway after all I've been through with Voldemort, I just want to get the job the normal way, I want to stay with you, protect you" I said.

She didn't reply for a minute, "fine" she said, "Gin?" I asked, she turned to look at me again, "hmm?" She asked, "what do you want to do for a job?" I asked, she thought for a second, "I don't want to be an auror, I don't know it just doesn't appeal to me, I... Want to play Quidditch" she decided, "you're good enough" I said truthfully, she smiled, "thanks Scarface" she laughed lightly, "former Weasel" I joked, she laughed, "shut up Harry" she said punching my arm lightly, I winced a bit, "sorry" she apologised, I shook my head, "it's fine" I said.

Once Madame Pomfrey discharged us we left for class together. I walked Gin to her Defence Against The Dark Arts class. I was actually made Defence Against The Dark Arts teacher, my teaching schedules fitting it perfectly with my learning one.

She entered first and stood in her place, as I entered all students stood up, "good morning class, take a seat" I said waking to my desk, they sat down and I pulled out of my robes my notes for class.
"Today students we shall be learning about the curse Impecio, it disorientates you and makes you unable to think or breath well" I said writing the spell on the board.

I turned to the class, "has anyone heard of that spell?" I asked, Ginny rose her hand but she was the only one, she smirked at me and I cleared my throat, "Mrs Potter" I said, it felt weird addressing her as a student, "do you know what the counter curse is?" I asked, she nodded, "it's Aprecio but it's very hard to perform when you are under the curse Sir" she said, "that is correct, 50 points to Gryffindor" I said, she smiled.

"Today we shall be learning how to perform the spell and counter curse" I told them, there was an excited murmur, I let them talk for a couple seconds before I called for silence. "We will be practicing on each other but as long as I'm here everyone's safe and no one will get hurt" I said, everyone watched me fascinated, "students take out your wands" I said.

Everyone pulled their wands from their robes or pockets. "Very good, now since Mrs Potter is the only one who knows the spell she will come up to the front" I said watching Gin with a glint in my eye, she looked taken aback but shrugged and stood. "Now G- Mrs Potter do you know how to perform it?" I asked, "yes sir" she replied, "I will talk through what she is doing before she curses me, then I shall perform the counter curse and talk you through that" I said.

Everyone looked either slightly nervously at us or in excitement and awe, we were the power couple of Hogwarts as people referred to us as. She raised her wand hand, her wand pointing at my chest just next to my heart, the weak point for spells, "you sure?" She mouthed, I nodded slightly, "she is pointing her wand next to my heart, the weakest point a spell can hit, making it the most effective for the caster" I said.
