Madam Pomfrey came out <strong>and</strong> told Ron <strong>and</strong> Hermione that they had to leave.<br />
Madam Pomfrey was about to tell Ginny to leave also, but saw that she had <strong>Harry</strong>'s h<strong>and</strong> gripped<br />
tightly in her own. Instead Madam Pomfrey went over to the young woman, <strong>and</strong> putting a h<strong>and</strong> on her<br />
shoulder said, "You're welcome to use the bed next to his if you want."<br />
"Thank you Madam Pomfrey," said Ginny sadly, "I think I'll stay up with him a bit longer."<br />
"Alright dear," said Madam Pomfrey, "I'll be in my office if you need me."<br />
Ginny sat there a bit longer, her h<strong>and</strong> wrapped around <strong>Harry</strong>'s. <strong>After</strong> a little while she started to feel<br />
tired <strong>and</strong> decided to take Madam Pomfrey up on her offer of using the bed next to <strong>Harry</strong>'s. Ginny cast a<br />
Muffliato charm around the two beds <strong>and</strong> set to work.<br />
Ginny silently levitated the bed so that it was almost touching <strong>Harry</strong>'s, then she lowered it to the floor<br />
as softly as she could. There was a loud clang as the metal bed hit the stone floor, but thanks to the<br />
Muffliato no one would hear it. Ginny climbed into the bed <strong>and</strong> took <strong>Harry</strong>'s h<strong>and</strong> in her own again.<br />
Silently she released the Muffliato charm as she turned her self so she was facing <strong>Harry</strong>. She was soon<br />
in a fitful sleep filled with dreams of flying spells <strong>and</strong> an evil <strong>Harry</strong>. For once, her nightmares were not<br />
filled with images of Tom Riddle, a diary <strong>and</strong> a giant snake.<br />

Ron <strong>and</strong> Hermione left the hospital wing reluctantly, but they knew from almost 8 years of experience<br />
that Madam Pomfrey was not to be argued with when it came to her patients. That, they wanted <strong>Harry</strong><br />
to get better; <strong>and</strong>, although they would never admit it to anybody, Ron <strong>and</strong> Hermione needed some<br />
alone time. As they walked the halls the sun was just starting to come up over the Forbidden Forest.<br />
The sky was filled with clouds that cut across the rising sun like thick, unrolled cotton balls.<br />
As Ron <strong>and</strong> Hermione stood at a window staring at the breathtaking sunrise Hermione spoke. "<strong>What</strong> do<br />
you think?" she asked.<br />
"About what?" asked Ron genuinely confused.<br />
"About what Ginny said before we went to rescue <strong>Harry</strong>," said Hermione, "about how we've always<br />
had him around to help us, but we cant stay with him forever."<br />
"I think she's right," said Ron, suddenly a bit more unsure of himself then he had been. "I mean, we<br />
can't just follow <strong>Harry</strong> around all our lives. We're going to get married soon, move someplace far away<br />
from both our parents, <strong>and</strong> live our lives."<br />
"Who says we're moving far away from our parents?" asked Hermione, kind of flattered that Ron had<br />
their lives planed for them, but also a bit annoyed at him for planning their lives with out consulting<br />
her. It wasn't that she didn't like his plan, or at least the outline of the plan, but she was a control freak<br />
<strong>and</strong> she knew it.<br />
"I figured we'd be living in London for a while," said Ron, "with you at the ministry <strong>and</strong> me at the shop<br />
it'll be easier for both of us if we're in London."<br />
"True," said Hermione. His logic was good, she couldn't argue that.<br />
"<strong>What</strong> can I say?" asked Ron a bit sarcastically, "I have good ideas every once in a while."<br />
Hermione smiled at her Fiancé's comment. "Yes, you do, every once in a while," she teased, "but right<br />
now, I think I have a great idea."<br />
"Oh really?" asked Ron playfully, "<strong>and</strong> what would that be?"<br />
"A shower," said Hermione. "I feel like I just crawled through a bog in the middle of the rainy season."
