DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN Harry Potter.

Chapter 3

Consequences

Harry was lying in the hospital wing when he woke.

He blinked in confusion for a few minutes before glasses were slid onto his face and he saw Hermione standing over him.

She started pacing back and forth beside his bed. "Harry James Potter! What were you thinking?! Wandering off alone like that! What if Dumbledore hadn't gotten there in time? You could have been killed or worse turned into one of those dreadful things!" Hermione continued to rant for a few moments before noticing Harry had turned his back on her and was quietly sobbing.

"What's wrong?" Hermione asked stopping her pacing in favor of standing beside Harry's bed with her hand on his shoulder attempting to comfort him.

Harry only sobbed louder.

At the noise Madam Pomfrey stormed out of her office intent on making whoever was upsetting her patient leave.

"Ms. Granger what did you do?"

"I didn't do anything I was just talking to him and he started crying…"

"It is worse than we thought then." Poppy replied looking worriedly at her all too frequent patient. 'Please go fetch the headmaster Ms. Granger while I try to calm him."

Hermione was too concerned about her friend to argue as she ran off to do as the nurse asked.
