Hope Has Returned Chapter 16 (Harry's POV)

+++time skip 2 weeks+++

It has been 2 weeks since me and Ginny got back together. It has been 2 awesome weeks. Well it was awesome other than the fact that I was bed ridden. Ginny would come and go. She would come and sit on my bed and tell me all about her day. She would insist I tell her about mine but the answer is always the same. My answer is always 'I stayed in bed all day doing nothing'. I wasn't allowed to walk or stand. To sit up I'd have to press a button. I wasn't doing anything so my muscles became weak. It got to the point were I couldn't pick up a glass without dropping it. I feel so hopeless. Just after I thought these thoughts Ron walked in.
"Hey dude what did you do today?" he said with a smirk.
"Same thing as usual." I responded getting tired of this question.
"Well I tried to teach Hermione how to ride a broom. I was surprised she didn't end up here with you."
"Hey can you lift up that water bottle to my mouth." I said pointing my weak fingers toward a half full water bottle.
"Sure little girl" he said mocking me.
"Hey I'd do it if I could." I responded.
"You know you like all this attention."
"Ya I defiantly love not doing anything. I almost called up Professor Binns to teach me about the first wand or how Hogwarts was built."
"Must of been desperate." He said as he lifted up the water bottle to my mouth.
"Defiantly." I responded after taking a drink. Just then a Healer came running in.
"Mr. Potter we have been looking at your results to one of the many tests we've done on you and-" she looked down at the paper and frowned "it's not good." Grrrrr why does this happen to me. "It seems as though you have some type of muggle disease called 'cancer' or something. Well it has grown in your heart or what's left of it so you will have to stay here another month or 2."
"Ummm okay I guess." I said with a frown. Once the Healer left I looked at my feet not talking.
"Hey buddy it will be okay." Ron said patting my shoulder.
"Actually it won't be okay." I said thinking about what's to come.
"I'm sure cancer isn't that bad it might-" but I cut him off.
"My neighbor suffered from cancer and he was walking his kid to the bus stop and he had a heart attack and died later that day in the doctor's office." I said with a tear running down my cheek.
"Don't worry you'll get through this."
"I don't think I can. It's like its hopeless." I said now unable to hide my tears. They were running down my face fast.
"You can do it." Ron said not convincing me.
"I CAN'T DO IT ANYMORE! I GIVE UP! I'M DONE! I DON'T WANT TO DO IT ANYMORE! IT''S NOT ONLY THAT I DON'T, I CAN'T! I'M DONE!" I yelled unable to control my anger. Then I broke. I started crying and wouldn't stop. Ginny then walked in and saw me yelling at Ron and crying.
"Har-ry are you okay?" she asked concerned.
"NO I'M NOT OKAY! IN FACT I'M NOT EVEN HORRIBLE! I HAVE GOD DAMN CANCER THAT CAN AND WILL KILL ME SO RIGHT NOW I'M HOPELESS! I AM DONE!" and with that I threw my face against my pillow and cried. Multiple Healers came in to calm me down but I yelled at them so they left. Ron left to head home for dinner but Ginny stayed. She wouldn't leave my side. A Healer came and talked to Ginny about me while I was still crying. I could only catch a few words she said.
"Well Mr. Potter's survival is only 1 in 10 of 10% chance." I couldn't hear Ginny's respond.
"Okay I'd tell him sooner or later." The Healer said.
"Will do." Ginny said then I felt a cold hand on my neck.
"I know you heard all of that." Was all Ginny said.
"Why are you so smart?" I said with a laugh. I chose not to listen to what else she was saying so I just went to sleep.
