Chapter 14 HG

Chapter 14
Once we were home, we found Hermione asleep on one of the big chairs in the living room. Kreacher was staring at her and said "Young Mrs. Weasley has been asleep for a long time." I went over to her.
"Are you sure you want to disturb her?" Harry asked
"Yes, Ron is probably missing her. And she'll want to know that you are home safe." I said taking the book off her chest and setting it aside.
"Do you just want me to floo her over there?"
"No, she'll likely stun you."
She looked so young when she was asleep, but then again I figured I bet we all do.  Lightly brushing a curl of hers off her face and tucking it behind her ear. She awoke and she looked as though she had just been stunned herself; her big brown eyes widened and she had her wand at my throat. I could feel my throat closing up inside, she was performing wandless magic. I could still speak I had hoped,.
"Ginny" Harry said warning me.
"Here to finish me off are you Bellatrix?"
"No 'Mione" I coughed " it's me it's your friend Ginny."
"Gin" Harry said again, taking out his wand. I looked at him. Pleading him not to do anything rash. She blinked and then the next thing I knew, I was hitting the wall. Sliding down it the blow stinging, and I could still feel my throat closing, little by little. Laying there coughing, she came over to me.
"Now I'm going to torture you the way you did, I will rip that dark mark off you just as you have scared me!"
"Look at my arm!" I shouted with what breath I had left, she rolled up my sleeve and saw nothing but freckles. She had then looked back up to me, guilt filling her eyes. And then it passed she smacked me across the face, it didn't hurt as bad as I thought it would, I could see in the corner of my eye Harry coming toward her I whispered "Harry don't!"
Her eyes bore into mine and she began to slice at my arm again, mustering up the courage not to cry although it felt like my arm was burning, I felt a wave of cold wash over me, I was loosing alot of blood, and she leaned over me laughing.  And then she was stiff, Harry was standing beside her with his wand out.
"Are you alright?" he said healing my arm
"Yes I'm fine, you shouldn't have done that." I choked again, she still needed to take off whatever curse she had set on me. "Let her up"
"No! I'm taking her home."
"She needs to take the bind off me."
Reluctantly he let her go, she looked at me with such pain and sadness radiating through her eyes she saw my arm and then she saw the blood and she woke up.
"Ginny?" she said with tears streaming.
"Yes?"
"I'm sorry, I thought that you were..." she said covering her mouth with her shaking hand.
"I know it's alright. Could you take this bind off me please?"
She waved her wand and then threw it aside. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."
"No" I said trying to calm her down.
"I almost killed you!"
"Let's just look at the word almost, there, a smart word."
She just put another hand over her mouth again, she looked at me and then she said "I should go report this."
"Report what?"
"I almost killed you!"
"So did I once!"
It was quiet for a while, although it wasn't the same circumstances, it felt like it was.
"Gin." Harry said "You are losing alot of blood."
"It'll be fine. Hermione go home, you report this they'll send you to Mungos."
Nodding she went to hug me, but Harry stood in between us. "Go now"
She flooed home.
"What the hell was that?"
"She tried to kill you!"
"You know how embarrassed she is now?"
"No I don't, but she deserved it."
"This" I said getting up and wrapping a scarf around my arm "was my fault! I brought her back to the manor."
"She still hurt you"
"She is still your best friend! She matters to you, don't throw her away because of this"
"You mean more to me than her!"
"That's bollocks and you know it..."
"I'm not in love with her!"
"But you do love her, and this is going to hurt her more than it's going to hurt me. So go over there now and apologize."
"I will not"
"Ah there is your foolish pride coming to play."
"Foolish pride? You have been spending too much time with..."
"With who?"
"Malfoy!"
"Why are you so worried about him?"
"I'm not worried about him, I'm worried about you! He was a Death eater, Gin and he likes you, you just won't believe me."
"I know that you are jealous, and you shouldn't be." I said trying to calm him down, but with no help, he just looked down at my bleeding arm. Muttering a healing incantation, I looked at him I could see that he was regretting what he had said to Hermione.
"You get some rest, I'll go talk to Hermione alright?"  he said then kissing my cheek "Kreacher, wait on her hand and foot, I'll be back alright?"
"Kreacher will, Master."
"Very good, I'll try not to be long."
"Take as much time as you need, I'll be fine."
And with that he left.
