When Harry woke up, he was in Ron's room in burrow. His vision was blur and his head was feeling like it would burst. He tried to raise his head.
"Don't" A voice said.
He tried to adjust his vision and saw a bushy haired girl standing in front of the bed with a concerned look on her face.
"H-h-hermione" Harry croaked.
"Don't get up. Lay still. You need rest Harry. " Hermione said.
"It's ok, Mione. Let me get up. I can't just... You know.. Lay still. " Harry said.
"How can I forget that I'm talking to #The Harry Potter" Hermione said.
"How are you feeling, mate? " Ron asked.
"Alright" Harry replied.
"Now you know the pain of that stupid spell which you applied on me four years ago" Draco said.
"Yeah. It really hurts. I'm sorry, Draco" Harry said.
"It's ok. You know I've a big heart. I forgive you. " Draco said.
"Can't you stop praising yourself? " Hermione asked. "If anyone is worthy of praise then it's Ginny. Oh, by the way, Harry, you really slept a month long sleep"
"Why? How long was I knocked out? " Harry asked.
"Not much. You know just three days" Ron said.
"WHATTT! I was knocked out for three days.... I was sleeping for complete three days.... Why.... How... " Harry said.
"It happens. You know you went through a lot of treatments and there was a lot of blood loss. So the healer of St. Mungo's said that it would take time to recover completely" Hermione said. And suddenly she hugged him and was crying furiously.
"Hey, Mione. It's okay. I'm fine. Just don't cry" Harry cooed her.
"I was scared.... So much blood.... I've never seen you like that...... I thought... I mean.... Worse could have happened" Hermione said between sobs.
"I never knew a lioness can cry too" Draco said with mock seriousness.
"Shut up. You always make a fun of me. " Hermione said sniffing her nose and pout in her face.
"Aww. I'm not making fun of you, I was teasing you" Draco said with wrapping a hand around her shoulder. Harry looked at Ron and raised his eyebrows only to find Ron doing the same.
"What's the difference? " Hermione asked.
"Okay. I'll explain you " Draco said and took Hermione with him outside the room.
"They really look good with each other. " Ron said.
"You're saying it. I mean..... After all those days feeling for Hermione... Now you're saying that she looks good with Draco. "
"Yeah.... I know I had feelings for her... But... You know after meeting with Pansy... I felt something... Something which I never felt before. It's a weird feeling. It's not like something I felt for food. It's different. It's a kind of Completeness... As if I'm complete with her. And I guess Hermione and Draco feel that for each other. " Ron said.
"Yeah" Harry said.
"Ron, Ginny has something private to say Harry. I guess you should leave" Pansy said from behind the door. Ron opened the door.
"I'm sorry, Pansy" Ron mumbled. Pansy smiled adoringly. "It's okay".
Ginny silently entered the room. She kept a jug of water at the table next to the bed. Then she sat at the edge of the bed. And for the first time she had tears in her eyes.
"You know if only I had my memories I would have said that I thought I lost you. But do you have a slightest bit of idea that how does it feels to loose something you never really knew that you had? It feels worst. It's like I'm feeling a pain and I don't even know why. It feels like a piece of my heart is missing but I didn't even know about it. " Ginny said in a hollow tone.
"It's alright. I'm alright. " Harry said.
"When I saw you there in the floor covered with blood my.... My entire being was ached. For a moment I thought everything was gone. As if nothing mattered. You took the spell for me and closed your eyes saying some cheesy lines and became the hero of the day. But what about me? I was the one who felt-"
"You don't have to feel guilty" Harry cut her off.
"I wish I could just feel guilty. But guilt is something which takes place in your brain but the things I feeled was through my entire body. It was not like I was seeing you on the floor covered with blood, it was as if I was seeing myself. Trust me it felt like hell. I swear Mr. Harry Potter, if you ever make me go through this again, I -"
Harry cut her off by pulling her into him and pressing his lips with hers. It was not their first kiss but still it felt like it was their first kiss. When Harry kissed her, Ginny kissed him back. Ginny's both hands were wrapped around his neck and his were wrapped around her waist. Harry pulled her into his lap and pulled back.
"If I make you go through that again, then? " Harry asked in a husky voice.
"Then I'll kill you" Ginny replied in his ears.
Harry chuckled. "I love you, Ginevra Molly Weasley"
After a bit of silence.
"I love you too, Harry James Potter"
