First time I've written more than 1000 words for a chapter
Harry watched in horror as his friend and rival, Cedric, was struck by a jet of green light. 'No, not Cedric, please not Cedric.' Suddenly he was fighting Voldemort. He saw his mum and dad. 'Help me, mum. Please help me.' Then he was on the Astronomy tower. 'Avada Kedavra' Dumbledore was dead and his body was falling…falling.
Harry woke up to find Hermione and Neville staring at him. He shuffled uncomfortably as his friends stared at him like as if he were crazy person.
"Are you OK, Harry? You were thrashing about and screaming"
Harry gulped. "Just a bad dream is all. How are you two?"
"We're fine Harry. A little tired but we're fine"
"Neville, you wouldn't do me a favour, would you?" Hermione was a bit flustered by this statement. Why was Harry asking Neville a favour and not her?
"Harry, I would do nearly anything for you, just say it and it's as good as done."
"Ok, persuade Madam Pomfrey to let me out, to get a shower. If need be tell her that you'll be with me"
"No problem. See you in a couple of seconds"
As he jogged off to Madam Pomfrey Harry said "Come on Hermione, you should have known I wouldn't ask anyone other than you, Ron or Ginny if I needed something important. This is just something you can't do."
"I'm sorry Harry, but you told him to kill Nagini, you trust him more than you let on."
"I trust him and with good reason. Neville had as much of a reason to destroy Voldemort after what his parents went through as I did. Plus, other than you of course, he was the first to master every spell I asked him to. Also, if Voldemort went after Neville instead of me then our lives might have swapped places."
Neville stumbled back in and said "She'll let you go on two conditions; one, I'm to be with you at all times, Except for when you're actually in the shower and two, you're back within the hour."
"Good, let's go now then."
With help from Hermione and Neville, Harry managed to get out of bed. He had never felt the pain in his chest before and it was now hard for Harry to walk on his own. His arms were unable to move without a lot of energy put into to them. Harry and Neville somehow managed to get out of the Hospital wing rather quickly.
"Neville, got to the fifth floor, behind the fourth door to the left of a statue of Boris the Bewildered there is a bathroom. Go there please"
"Pine fresh" Harry said as they made their way to the door. It flung open even though the wrong password was given, because Hogwarts will always help when the need is great.
"Neville, please wait outside, I need to get undressed. If I'm not out in forty seven minutes then you can come in."
"OK, Harry, I'll be here if you need anything"
Harry winced. Thankfully Neville thought it was because of pain, but in reality Harry winced because yet again he was lying to his friend.
Harry got to a mirror and slowly, painfully managed to undress. This was the first time Harry had really seen himself since the wedding. He looked at his scarred body. He had had two scars for three years now. One was on his arm after the Hungarian Horntail had its way and another on his leg was when the acromantula dropped him. But as he looked, Harry realised that he was a different person. He had a toned body, muscles to make witches faint and the battle-damaged/ rugged look that, for unknown reasons, witches loved. For the first time in his life Harry felt physically attractive. It mad him happy until his eyes found where the killing curse had hit him. There was a weird bruise in the middle of his chest it was a vertical line surrounded by a circle, which in turn was surrounded by a triangle. Harry just looked into it for ages. Then slowly, Harry meandered to the bath which had filled itself for Harry, slowly getting in he called for Kreacher.
"Kreacher, find Ginny Ron and Hermione, then cause a distraction for Madam Pomfrey. Make sure no one is hurt and that it lasts for half an hour at least."
"It is done, Master Harry"
The moment that Kreacher left the room he covered himself in bubbles so that his friends wouldn't be too bashful towards him.
"Miss Weasley, Mr. Weasley and Miss Granger are here Master Harry."
"Thank you Kreacher now please do the rest."
Kreacher bowed and vanished once more.
"Harry, mate, thought we wouldn't see you today. Ginny's been" but he was cut short as Ginny stamped on his foot.
"Ron. This is important. Find your Mum and Dad, ask them to get the burrow ready, for me and Hermione too, and tell your mum that if she doesn't mind we will be sleeping over" Ron dashed for it. He was finally going to tell his parents the only thing they wanted to hear right now.
"Oh, and Ron" he called as Ron was almost at the door. "Tell Neville that he should get back to the Hospital Wing and tell him I'm not alone, although please don't tell him I have two girls in here"
"No problem, mate"
"Hermione. You need to go and see Dumbledore's painting, the password is Albus. He'll know what's happening to me. When you're done go to Ron and his family"
She nodded and ran, even faster than Ron as she knew what was coming.
The second the door was closed "Ginny, I need you to turn around for a minute"
"Mum, Dad, Harry's just asked for you to get The Burrow ready for him and Hermione to stay over. Is that OK?" Ron puffed.
"Molly, you go home and get ready" Arthur said. "I would like to speak to Harry"
"Err… Dad, that's not such a good idea."
"Why ever not?"
"Because Harry is having a bath!"
"Ginny, I need you to turn around for a minute"
"Why?"
"Because I'm getting out of the bath now"
Ginny turned beetroot coloured and turned around.
"Accio towel" He dried himself off and painfully put on his boxers. It was too agonizing for Harry to put his trousers or top on.
"You can look now." Harry said sheepishly.
"Oh, Harry" Tears poured from Ginny's eyes. Seeing the man she loved in such a bad way was killing her. "Harry, why did you keep me behind?"
"Because, Ginny, we need to talk."
"Albus" Saying the password was pointless. The gargoyle was allowing anyone in without question, but Hermione was never one to be impolite.
"Go right ahead, Miss Granger"
She climbed the spiralling stairs to find the office door open. No one was in so Hermione ran straight in.
"Professor Dumbledore, please wake up. Harry needs you"
With this Albus woke up. Hogwarts was always there for those who needed it and so was Dumbledore.
"Miss Granger, Harry needs me?"
"Yes professor, he keeps having seizures. We thought it was going cold turkey from the dark magic, but now I'm not so sure."
"I believe I know what's going on"
