Harry and his Brainy Girls

Harry and his Brainy Girls

By: Sheltie

Megan groaned as she rolled over. She felt so achy and stiff all over. Her head felt like it was stuffed with cotton or something like cotton. She didn’t really know since her brain didn’t feel like thinking at all. Her nose was plugged up and even breathing through her mouth made her cough at times. She just felt icky. She opened her eyes slowly and groaned again.

“You’re too sick to go to work today Megan” Harry said.

Megan looked up to see her boyfriend Harry looking down at her with a concerned look on his face.

“Not sick, just not feeling well. I can go to work” she said as she tried to get up.

Harry whipped out of his wand and ropes appeared strapping Megan to the bed.

“Let me up Harry” Megan said as she tried to struggle against her bonds, but she was too weak.

“No way Meg Pie, you’re sick and that means you’re staying in bed” Harry said.

Megan mumbled under her breath about Harry’s nickname for her. She wasn’t too thrilled when Harry started calling her that at all. Thankfully he didn’t use it a lot, but when he did it irked her a bit. She thought Harry was the perfect boyfriend til he created that little nickname for her. Why Harry decided she needed a nickname and to actually come up with that was beyond her. She did ask Harry once about it and he shrugged and said he thought it was clever. Megan of course didn’t think it was.

“I’m going to the floo to let your boss know you’re not coming in today then you’re getting some rest even if I have to force feed you a sleeping potion” Harry said.

Megan grumbled even more on this, but she couldn’t do anything since she was still bound to her bed.

Harry came back sometime later with medicine bottle and spoon in hand.

“Alright Megan, time to take some medicine” he said.

He then saw Megan’s situation and looked embarrassed.

“Whoops, sorry about that” he said then released Megan from her bonds.

Megan sighed and relaxed now that she was free to move. She was uncomfortable in the position Harry bound her in. He made her take the disgusting stuff.

“Yuck” she said.

Harry looked sympathetic, but then tucked her in and went to the door.

“I’ll be close by so call me if you need it” he said.

/Scene Break/

Megan had fallen asleep eventually and was asleep til she heard Harry coming in with lunch. He was carrying a tray with soup it appeared to be. She slowly got up. She was feeling slightly better, but just slightly. She still felt terrible.

Harry placed the tray in her lap and then sat down beside her.

“How are you feeling?” he asked.

“Better. I think I can get out of bed and get to work” Megan said trying to act chipper.

Harry frowned. He knew Megan was lying. She was a terrible liar and could lose her shirt if she ever played poker. She might even give Hagrid a run for his money for being possibly the worst poker player ever.

“No you’re not. So stop acting like it. I am going to be here til you are actually feeling better” he said.

Megan pouted. She didn’t want to be babied at all. She was a big girl after all and she could take care of herself. Harry though didn’t think so and proceeded to feed her the soup.

“I can feed myself Harry” Megan grumbled.

“I know Meg, but humor me” Harry said.

Megan mumbled under her breath, but allowed Harry to feed her.

“There you go” Harry said.

The soup was soon gone and Harry tucked Megan back in. Megan was again unhappy that she was stuck in bed when she should be up doing things. She was restless.

“Don’t make me have to magically strap you down again. You’re to rest and that’s all you’re going to do” Harry said sternly reading Megan’s mind perfectly.

“I hate it when you use Legilimency on me” Megan grumbled.

“I didn’t really need to. You weren’t hiding anything from me with that. You were practically shouting it out” Harry said.

Megan grumbled about not being about to hide her thoughts from Harry and that it must be because she was sick that she was projecting her thoughts.

“Sleep” Harry commanded then left.

It took Megan several minutes to finally get to sleep.

/Scene Break/

It was later that night and Megan slept the rest of the day. She awoke feeling much better. Her brain wasn’t as foggy as before and she didn’t feel yucky any more. Well, she still felt a bit yucky, but a whole lot better than before.

“Feel better Meg Pie?” Harry asked as he came in carrying a tray of dinner in.

“So much better” Megan said.

Harry could tell she wasn’t lying this time and nodded.

“Good, now here’s dinner. And since you look better I’ll let you eat on your own” he said.

“Oh thank you oh great one” Megan said sarcastically.

“Yeah, you’re definitely better” Harry snorted.

Megan ate everything on her plate and never felt so full.

“Ah, now that hit the spot” she said patting her tummy.

“You’re welcome Meg. Now I think you can get out of bed for a while” Harry said.

Megan cheered, but then frowned as Harry placed her on the couch wrapped in a blanket.

“I am better Harry. I don’t need this” Megan said.

“Better safe than sorry Meg Pie” Harry said.

Megan growled at Harry for using her nickname.

They spent the rest of the evening just enjoying each other’s company though that meant for Megan trying to escape her jail. Harry had to use a sticking charm to keep the blanket in place.

“How am I supposed to go to the bathroom?” Megan whined.

“I’ll release the charm when you need to go and re-apply it when you come back” Harry said.

Megan pouted at this.

When it was time for bed Megan complained about sleeping all day and that she didn’t need any more sleep. Harry ignored her. Once in bed Megan pouted some more as Harry pulled her close to him. Megan soon fell asleep to the steady beat of Harry’s heart as her head was resting against Harry’s chest.
