Chapter 10



Harry woke up the next morning to a quiet house. Usually there was some kind of sound or movement heard down stairs. But today it was as silent as a hospital room. He got up and realized Ron’s bed was still made. It didn’t even look like he went to bed last night.
Walking down the stairs, the silence was ringing in his ears. In the living room, he saw somebody curled up on the couch. A blanket wrapped loosely around a small figure. Toward the end of the couch, he saw the vivid red hair of Ginny Weasley. She stirred when Harry stepped on the last step, which creaked beneath his feet.

“Why did you sleep down here?” Harry asked sinking into an armchair that sat near the couch.

She rubbed the sleepiness from her eyes and sat up. “My door was locked, so I came down here.” She yawned.

“Your door was locked? Does that mean Ron and Hermione was in there?” Harry wondered out loud.

“That’s what I’m guessing.” She replied.

“Why is it so quiet in here? Where’s your mum?” Harry asked. The silence was starting to creep him out.

“I don’t know.” Ginny said screwing her face up in confusion. She slipped her legs over the edge of the couch and gracefully got up. Harry followed her into the kitchen. It was empty. Nothing was moving in the still kitchen. Not even the dishes were washing themselves like they usually did in the morning. The window was open and a slight wind was blowing the curtains back and forward. The only thing that showed of somebody actually being here was the pot of coffee gurgling.

While Harry had been looking around the empty kitchen, Ginny had walked over to the table and picked up a letter. He watched her eyes move across the piece of parchment as she read it. When she got toward the middle of the letter, she put her hand to her mouth and let out a small gasp. Harry walked over and said, “What is it?” Ginny said nothing but handed him the letter.

Dear kids,

I am not home as you can obviously see. I’m at
St. Mungo’s Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries. But don’t worry; the healers have informed me that Charlie will be all right. I guess he was working with a particular dragon and its flames burned him. The burns were pretty deep, so they had to bring him here. He is sleeping now. Bill and Fluer are here also. I’ll be home soon. And this goes for all of you when I say you are forbidden to leave the house. Sorry I couldn’t make breakfast before I could leave. Please stay out of trouble and behave yourselves.

Love,

Mom


“She says he’ll be all right.” Harry said after he was through with the letter.

“Yeah.” Ginny replied biting her lip.

“You ok?” he asked her.

“Yeah. I’m fine.” She said. But she looked the exact opposite.

“You sure.” He asked walking closer to her.

“Yes, I’m fine Harry. Do you want to make something to eat or just eat some cereal? I think we might even have some grapefruit.” She said beginning to talk really fast. “We have oatmeal also. I’ve never really been a fan of it though. Do you want pancakes?”

“Gin, calm down. You are talking way to fast.”

“I’m not talking fast. You’re just not listening.” She snapped.

Harry was taken aback when she snapped at him. He then pulled her to him and hugged her in a tight embrace.

“What are you doing?” she asked squirming in his arms.

“It’s ok. Charlie is going to be all right. Just calm down.” Harry said soothingly. But instead of relaxing, she shook in his arms. “This is more than about Charlie, isn’t it?” he said, raising his head to look into her eyes. Slowly, she nodded her head.

“I had a dream last night.” She said quietly.

“What was it about?”

“I don’t really want to talk about it. But it scared me.” She walked away from him and sat down at the table.

“I’m sorry you had a bad dream. Is there anything I can do to help?” he asked sitting across from her.

“Just sit here with me.” She said sadly.

Harry reached over and gently squeezed her hand. “I’m not going any where.” He smiled. She gave him a warm smile in return and squeezed his hand back.
