Harry Potter and What Happened After - Sahits

Chapter 25
The next morning Harry woke up suddenly. He had been dreaming about the people who had died
nearly two months ago, it was a recurring dream where they were all Inferi and he was back on the
small island in the middle of the lake where it had all started.
"Harry, Harry, wake up," it was Ginny, she was shaking him.
"I'm up Gin," Harry said as he sat up, his body drenched in sweat.
"Was it the Inferi dream?" she asked once he was completely up. She moved herself next to him and
leaned into his chest, letting him put his arms around her.
"Yeah," Harry muttered, he knew there was no use denying it, she had woken him up from bad dreams
quite a few times before, and she always seemed to be able to tell which one it was.
"How far did they get this time?" she asked softly as she settled in to his muscular chest.
In his dream the Inferi always closed around him, and each time he would try and shoot fire at them,
but they kept coming. Usually Ginny woke him up before they could grab him, but every once in a
while one of them would get a hand on him. "Both Lupine and Fred got an arm," said Harry
remembering how both Fred and Lupine had taken an arm and tried to tear him in half.
Ginny sighed, "Harry, you should really talk to somebody about this."
"I talk to you," said Harry, trying to get her off the subject. He had heard this a few times before from
both Ginny and Hermione, whom Ginny had told about his dreams, at least the bad ones.
"You know what I mean," Ginny mumbled, "I want you to talk to somebody who can actually help
you."
"Ginny, you don't know how much help it's been talking to you," Harry said, still hoping to veer her off
course with compliments, it didn't work.
"Thank you," she wisped as she planed a kiss on his chin, "but I meant somebody who knows what
they're doing."
"Like who?" asked Harry
"One of the teachers," said Ginny flatly, "which ever one you feel the most comfortable with."
"Gin, most of the teachers that I felt comfortable with are dead." Sighed Harry
"What about the new DADA teacher, Professor Aquos," suggested Ginny, "your DADA teachers have
always had a…interesting role in your education, why don't you see if Professor Aquos won't agree to
continue that tradition?"
Harry smiled, "Let's just hope he plays a more Lupine like role than a Lockhart type role," Harry
whispered.
Ginny laughed softly and started to get up, "Hay, Lockhart is the reason you and Ron came to the
Chamber of secrets. If it wasn't for him I never would have fallen for you."
"Yes you would have," said Harry, "I would have found a way to impress you some other time."
Ginny laughed again, "come on, we've got to get ready for today's 'festivities'," She sighed as she got
up.
"Yeah," muttered Harry, he wasn't looking forward to the day either.
