Harry Potter and the 19 years between (on hold)

Chapter 6

       When Harry wakes up it's mid-afternoon. He looks around confused. Jace walks in with a plate full of food. He looks at Harry when Harry starts to sit up. Jace sets his food down on the side table.

"Wow, Harry slow down. You got hit with a nasty curse." He says his mouth full of food.

"How long have I been out?" Harry asks reaching around for his glasses. He slips them on and looks at Jace.

"Well, you and Jamie got back around this time yesterday." He says, "If you want you can eat this. I only stole off the plate. I'm going to let Jamie and Maddy know you're awake."

   Harry nods grabbing the plate of food as his stomach rumbles. He starts eating. He hears footsteps. Maddy and Jamie hurry in.

"How are you feeling?" Maddy asks as Jace walks in

"Sore." Harry replies

"Took a nasty hit." Maddy says

"Harry, you have visitors." Jamie says

Harry stops eating, "Visitors?"

Jamie steps out of the way to reveal Ron, Hermione, and Ginny. Harry pulls out his wand pointing it at them. Jace, Jamie, and Maddy do the same. Harry gets up and walks to Hermione.

"What is the nickname Grawp gave you in our fifth year?" Harry asks

"Hermy." Hermione replies

Harry nods lowering his wand. He moves to Ron, "Where did Dobby take everyone when we escaped Malfoy Manor?"

"To Bill and Fleur's at the time. Shell Cottage." Ron says

Harry nods, then he moves to Ginny, " When I proposed to you, who besides your parents did I ask permission from?"

"Teddy." Ginny says

     Harry sighs grabbing his chest. Ginny helps him sit down. He looks at his friends, "Why are you guys here. I said I didn't want you here. Tom, he's Bellatrix's son. So his parents must have kept him informed about things. He would know my closest friends and how to get to me to hurt me."

"Well, seeing as you gave us a right good scare. We thought we should help you out." Ron says

"Harry do you even know what happened yesterday?" Jamie asks

"We found Tom. He and I dueled but then he hit me with something. That's pretty much it." He says picking the plate up and continuing to eat.

"Tom hit you with Sectumsempra. It was very powerful. I was worried you weren't going to make it. After I healed your wounds I sent an owl to Ginny." Maddison says

"You sent Ginny a letter?" Harry asks.

"Harry, I had no choice. I didn't know if you were gonna die or not I thought I should at least tell you Fiance." Maddison says

"You got her bloody worked up over nothing!" Harry yells

"Harry." Ginny snaps

"Look I'm sorry, Gin. I just don't want you to worry about me." Harry says looking down.

"Harry do you hear yourself. I will always worry about you." Ginny says.

"She's right Harry. She was a mess yesterday." Hermione agrees

Harry sighs in defeat, "When are we going today?"

"Harry you need to rest for the day. At least. Jace and Jamie will go out and try and capture him." Maddy says

Harry sits back with a nod.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

      Later that day Harry was resting on the couch, Ron and Hermione wrote to Kingsley, and Ginny was in a chair across from Harry. It's  about three in the afternoon. Feeling the effects of jet lag, Ginny is only barely about to keep her eyes open. Ginny notices Harry's arm twitch. She sits up setting her wand on the end table next to him. He twitches again. She gets up, walking over to him, she sits on the edge of the couch stroking his dark hair. A shutter runs through him as he sleeps. She kisses his forehead as his body tenses. He mumbles something.
