Confusion
Disclaimer: Seriously now I'm not J.K 'cause if I was I'd be rich and living in England and I'm not. So there!
Summary: Poor Harry's all confused…
A/N: Here's to all you that reviewed… thanks.
Harry's POV
I followed the old man who called himself Professor Dumbledore up to this giant castle where we headed up these staircases that moved 'That was freaky!' I thought when one of them moved right next to ours. The girl Hermione wasn't intimidated by the staircases apparent crash course with the one we were on, so I guess that they don't collide. Professor Dumbledore then led us to a hallway that had a single door at the end 'This must be the Hospital Wing Professor Dumbledore mentioned before.' I realized.
The Professor went in first after telling us to 'stay here for a minute'; once he was gone I looked up to Hermione and asked "Why do the staircases move?"
"It's magic," she replied then asked "Do you sometimes make things happen without actually doing anything?"
"Yes," I replied "Aunt Petunia doesn't believe me when I tell her I didn't do it."
"Well, that's magic; you can't see it happening but you can do it." She said.
"Oh," I said "Do you have a nickname 'cause Hermione is such a long name."
She smiled then replied "You can call me 'Mione."
"Okay." I agreed glad that she didn't yell at me for asking questions.
Just then Professor Dumbledore reappeared, and ushered us into the room. I got a brief image of beds lined up against the walls before I was tackled, frightened I quickly evaded the persons grasp and fled over to where 'Mione was standing and hid behind her.
'I'm glad 'Mione's here.' I thought as she quickly stood her ground.
'Mione's POV
Once we were in the hospital ward Harry was nearly tackled by Missus Weasley. I could tell that he was frightened by her exuberance as he quickly evaded her grasp and hid behind me. 'Good luck hiding Harry.' I thought because Harry was a bit taller then I was, then I realized it didn't matter how tall he was, he thought he was four and was frightened by someone who cared about him 'Though he doesn't know that she does care about him, he's used to not having friends or people that care about him at his current age.' I thought sadly.
"Molly!" Professor Dumbledore admonished her.
"Sorry Albus, I… I didn't realize that he would act that way." Mrs. Weasley apologized.
Professor Dumbledore just nodded accepting her apology as I turned to try to get Harry to follow me to one of the beds.
"Come on Harry, let's get you cleaned up and checked over; okay?" I asked him kindly holding out my hand.
"Okay, 'Mione." He replied and took my hand and let me lead him to the nearest bed.
Madam Pomfrey came out of her office and walked over to where we were, noticing his scared look I let him hold my hand while Madam Pomfrey looked him over.
Harry's POV
Once the scary lady with the stick went away I felt a little better and released 'Mione's hand.
"Here Harry, drink this it'll make you feel better." 'Mione said.
"Okay." I told her and took the weird looking glass from her hand and drinking it down thinking to myself 'I dunno why I trust 'Mione so much but I'm glad that she's here for me' as I drifted off to sleep.
Hermione's POV
Once Harry was asleep Sirius popped back into himself and Mrs. Weasley cried "Sirius Black!" pointing at him.
"Mum, shut up!" Ron yelled. "It's okay!"
"Now, everyone calm down." Dumbledore intoned.
"Calm down?? Calm down?? Harry's lost 10 years of his memories and you want me to calm down??" Sirius inquired.
"Yes." Dumbledore stated calmly.
Sirius opened his mouth as if to question him further but he held up his hand in order to silence him and said "I know that this is a big shock for everyone, but Harry needs to be the one who ultimately remembers everything. Now, I'm not going to send him back to his relatives so the question is where is he going to go?"
"Don't be silly Albus; Harry can stay with us for the summer." Mrs. Weasley quickly offered.
"Yes, but seeing Harry's reaction to your typical welcome he probably wouldn't like that idea so much." I said.
"Well, since he did bring back Wormtail; I can take care of him for the summer." Sirius suggested.
"No," Dumbledore said "You will be at the beck and call of the Ministry for the next few months; Harry wouldn't be able to cope with everything."
Sirius lost his hopeful look and mumbled "Okay."
"Sir, if I ask my parents and they say it's alright; he can stay with me and my family for the summer, and besides Harry already trusts me." I suggested.
"That's not a bad idea Miss Granger, we will have to ask Harry once he's awake but I don't see a problem with him staying with you for the summer; as long as your parents are okay with it." Dumbledore agreed.
"I'll go and owl them now and ask them." I said crossing my fingers and thinking 'I do hope my parents are okay with this, because if they're not Harry doesn't have anywhere to go.'
"Great now Harry's going to become a bookworm." Ron intoned sadly.
"And what is so wrong about being a bookworm Ronald Weasley?" Mrs. Weasley asked dangerously.
"N… nothing mum, nothing at all." Ron quickly atoned.
Mrs. Weasley just eyed him probably thinking 'Are you SURE about that' because I definitely was.
"Miss Granger, why don't you write that letter now?" Dumbledore inquired.
I nodded and grabbed a piece of parchment and a quill.
Dear Mum and Dad,
I know that this is a bit short notice, but my friend Harry has lost almost 10 years of his memories and I was wondering if he could stay with us over the summer to help him get his memories back. I would be forever grateful if he could stay, because if he can't I don't think he has anywhere else to go and I refuse to let him go back to his relatives. Write back as soon as you get this so I can tell Professor Dumbledore if Harry has a place to stay for the summer.
Love from,
Hermione
I quickly read it over and nodded satisfied with my letter, and it seemed that Hedwig knew I would need her because she swooped into the ward just as I finished.
"Thanks girl." I said as she held out her foot for my letter she just hooted and nipped my finger affectionately and swooped off to my house.
A few minutes later Hedwig returned carrying a reply, I reached out hopping that I would like the answer to my question.
Dear Hermione,
We don't have any problems with your friend Harry staying over for the summer, and I'm sorry to hear that he's lost 10 years of his memories and hope that he gets them back soon. We'll see you at Kings Cross in a week.
Love always,
Mum and Dad
"They said yes!" I cried out in relief.
"Who did?" Harry's voice rang out.
Suddenly guilty for not asking him first I replied "My parents said it would be okay if you stayed with us for the summer," then added at his expression "that is if you want to…"
"Anywhere's better then the Dursley's." he interrupted then grinned.
"Great!" I expressed then grinned back.
