Chapter Three- A Sisters Secret
" Virginia Weasley, are you absolutely insane!?" Ron screamed loud enough to wake the dead, let alone anyone
sleeping at Hogwarts.
Ginny shoved him into the corridor, " will you shut-up" she hissed.
" How is this possible? I thought...".
She grabbed his chin, his voice was still too loud, " it just is. It's hard to explain".
" I think it's worth a shot!".
A shadow emerged from the Transfiguration classroom, Hermione. " What's going on?" she sounded a little scared.
" Nothing!" she beat Ron to the answer before he could get a word out of that he saw.
" I don't think that qualifies as nothing" Ron grunted.
" A spider! He just saw a spider!" Ginny had to think of something believable that Ron would scream at.
" Oh, alright" and Hermione went back inside, closing the door.
" She's still acting weird?" Ginny asked calmly, keeping her eyes on the door.
Ron sighed, " she has a lot going on".
" Like what?".
He snapped back to the current situation, " well, I don't know how much it could be now with...".
She clamped her hand again. " Shut up will you!".
" Ginny, do you understand the seriousness of any of this, I can't believe, the entire time!".
She nodded, looking a little ashamed (but thinking of how much her brother sounded like Professor McGonagall). " Maybe if I explain to both you and Hermione".
" No!" his voice boomed and his eyes widened, " no, you cannot tell Hermione!".
" Why's that?".
" She's got too much on her mind!".
Ginny smacked him upside the head, " she's three tears from insanity, and it was all because of this".
Ron leaned in as close to her as he could go, " Ginny, you told me he died. I know he didn't that night, but you said he didn't make it a week".
" I liked, okay, I admit it. I took advantage of the fact that you wouldn't go anywhere near the hospital wing. But now, I'm going to see Hermione".
He wouldn't let her go, " she's in the middle of a bad night, and she wouldn't be able to handle it" he knew such a reaction, Hermione could loose the baby.
" What is so bloody important that I can't tell her now?" Ginny was roughly demanding.
Still, Ron changed the subject, deceiving her away from that answer. " Ginny, it's dangerous keeping him in this school".
She shrugged, " it's your classroom, Promfrey said it was safer than the hospital wing".
" It doesn't matter what room because no room is safe!" Ron hissed.
" But we can't get him out! Someone will see him, and kill him".
He reflected off his sisters grief, " no, killing him would result in their consequences" he sighed, " they'd have him in Azkaban before you can say Quidditch".
" Azkaban will kill him" she gasped, " you saw how he reacted to the dementors before. Luckily everyone thinks he's dead, otherwise they'd be around here twenty-four seven. Besides, he's really weak, still, even if he was still insane he wouldn't be able to hurt anyone".
Ron peered back inside his classroom, not wanting to think about his being insane at the time. " Sleeping potion?".
Ginny nodded, " more than often, for his sake. Though he does go about some nights".
" That's not stupid of you or anything" he sarcastically grunted.
" He has his cloak on, and he doesn't even go that far".
Ron followed her gesture across the hall to the Transfiguration classroom. " So all those nights she thought he was there...he really was".
She nodded, with a slight smile. " It's almost like caring for an injured puppy. You have to care for them, nurse them back to health, make sure they don't get lost".
He mocked an eyebrow, " why are you comparing him to a dog?".
" Because it's better than the other horrible things some people are comparing him too".
After Transfiguration the next day, Ginny stayed behind as the crowd of other students filed to lunch. She waited until
the door was closed before approaching Hermione's desk.
" How are you feeling today Herm?" she asked with a mixture of cheer and sympathy.
Hermione looked up and smiled, something a little rare for her, " tired, nauseous, but yet, I don't mind".
Ginny laughed, " are you pregnant or something?" she only meant it as a joke.
She set down her quill, " did Ron tell you?".
Ginny shrieked, " oh my god! You are?".
She sighed, standing from her chair, " you, like everyone else, were going to find out eventually, there's no point in denying anything now, not to anyone".
" Harry's the father?". Hermione nodded. Ginny glanced towards one of the desks, mouthing something as though someone was right next to her.
Hermione gave her a suspicious stare, looking at that same area, " what are you doing?".
" Nothing!" the tone uncovered an obvious lie.
With each step she took closer, Ginny shoved away. Her foot stepped on the edge of something, and a second later, Harry was no longer covered by the invisibility cloak.
