Chapter 14
I woke up with the blinding light from the sun in my eyes, my body had let me recover! I shot my eyes wide open to see if I could actually see and I could, I was so relieved. I looked around and felt a huge grin fill my face as I saw Ron fast asleep leaning against my bed, he must have stayed up all night. He looked so cute when he was sleeping.
"How are you feeling, Miss Granger?" I jumped at the unexpected sound. I looked around and saw Madam Pomfry walking over to me from across the other side of the room.
"Oh…er, I'm a little tired but o-okay." I stuttered and carried on looking around the room as though it was a new discovery. My eyes fixed on a figure lying on one of the beds in the corner closest to me. Dean. He looked lifeless. My sight became blurred from the tears forming in my eyes from the sight I saw.
"I-is he d-dead." I forced out between my cries.
"Oh, Miss Granger." Madam Pomfry said when she got next to my bed. "He isn't dead, he is in the same condition as you were. Although the reason he is in here is because of Death Eaters, they caught him when he was in Diagon Alley. Fortunately they got caught just before they were about to kill the poor boy by Mr Roger Davies, he brought him back here. Nobody knows where the Death Eaters apparated to."
I hated seeing Dean like this, he was one of my friends.
Hours passed as I read a book that Madam Pomfry had gotten me, I waited for Ron to wake up, I was dying to wake him up but I knew that he needed his sleep.
I heard a familiar voice from around the corner get closer, it was Seamus'. He was obviously visiting Dean. I saw him walk in with his girlfriend, Hannah Abbott (I swear he had a different girlfriend every week!) ad they wondered over to Dean's bed.
"He'll be alright." I overheard Hannah tell Seamus.
"I know. But he said if any of us died then the other one will have their chocolate frog card collection, and he has a lot." Seamus laughed, Hannah joined in.
"Oh, Hermione. I didn't know you were awake, Ron hasn't shut up about you since you…er, well came here. Well he hasn't shut up about you for the hour I've seen him in three days." Seamus laughed as him and Hannah walked over to me.
"I see he sleeps here too." I smiled to myself.
"How long has Dean been here?" I asked.
"Since yesterday afternoon." Hannah replied.
"They used the cruciatus curse on him, to see if that would kill him. It didn't and they were going to use the killing spell on him before Roger found him screaming." Seamus added quietly.
"I heard." I said in the same tone. There was an awkward silence.
"We should go and get some breakfast before our lessons. We'll see you when you get out of here." Seamus waved as he and Hannah walked out of the double wooden doors. Silence filled the room as I was left alone to my thoughts. Maybe I could convince Madam Pomfry to let me out early. I thought to myself.
I would have to wait until Ron would wake up because I didn't want him to wake up and I had disappeared did I? Well I could at least ask before he wakes up…
"Absolutely not, Miss Granger. We are unsure if there are any other hidden spells inside your body, or your baby's. I will let you go once we are certain of your health."
"Well can I at least get changed into some of my normal clothes instead of this uncomfortable night dress?" I pleaded.
"Very well, Miss Granger. But you must come back."
I smiled and hopped off the bed, grabbed my dressing gown and walked through the school halls. There was no one wandering around as they were all in their lessons so I didn't feel self conscious being in my dressing gown.
When I got to the Fat Lady painting I whispered the password and walked into the Gryffindor common room, I decided that I'll stay out for a bit. I quickly got dressed into some dark blue skinny jeans, a plain purple t-shirt and a pink cosy jumper, and walked straight to the kitchen. I was starving and I didn't like the food that they gave us in the hospital wing.
I saw one of the house elves walking fast the door with a plate of food so I ra up to him. "Is it okay if I get something quick to eat, I missed breakfast and I don't like the food in the hospital." I smiled.
"Of course, Miss. I shall make you something immediately." The elf replied, walking quickly to a table and putting the food he was carrying on it.
"Oh no, I want to make it. Please let me."
"Master Dumbledore said us house elves will make whatever anyone wants. I will not let you."
"No, please I insist. You have to let me, take a break, go and make some food for your self." I pleaded.
"It is Master Dumbledore's request to make anything anybody wants. I will make food for you." the little house elf hurried to the other end of the old fashioned kitchen and started making some sausages. I hated watching him do that, I felt that I had to stop him but I knew I couldn't. It didn't feel right watching him make something for me.
As soon as he was finished he placed the sausages on a white plate and handed it to me with a knife ad fork. I smiled thankfully and walked off into the main hall.
The sausages were delicious, I knew Ron would love them. I saw a copy of The Daily Prophet on a table on my right hand side so I grabbed it and started reading. It was just some rubbish about the quiditch world championship, there was nothing better in the newspaper.
"So I see your up." I jumped at the sound of Harry's voice. He came and sat on the opposite side of the table.
"How you feeling?" Harry asked me.
"Just a little tired, other than that I'm fine." I smiled and carried on reading the article.
"I can see your hungry." Harry laughed eyeing my plate full of sausages, I glared at him.
"If you had been out for three days then you'll be this hungry too!" I playfully shouted back. He quickly grabbed one of my sausages and threw it down his throat.
"So have you heard about Dean?" I asked Harry.
"Yeah, it's a shame isn't it. Seamus visits him every day, every morning before breakfast, before lunch, before dinner and before he goes to bed. Me and Ginny are worrying about him really." replied Harry.
"He seemed fine when I saw him this morning." I felt a confused look grow on my face.
"Oh, he's only pretending. Me and Ron see him every night crying. Quite sad really."
"Oh." was all I could say. A comfortable silence filled the air around us.
"So how does it feel to be not escaping death all the time?" I asked laughing.
"I feel free for once. But you not…" Harry trailed off.
"Oh can we not have a conversation without talking about death or Voldemort!" I smiled, although I was quite serious.
"Did Hermione Jean Granger just say, dare I say it…Voldemort?" He mocked. I kicked his foot under the table and I laughed.
"I miss this." I said after a while, Harry gave me a confused look. "You know, just us. Hanging out without Ron or Ginny, just like old times. Even though Ron was with us but he wasn't my boyfriend." I blushed at the word boyfriend. Harry smiled at me and then stole another of my sausages, we laughed together.
"Anyway, what are you doing out of class?" I asked concerned.
"I have a free period." Harry replied. "But now I have to get going, I'll be late for my second lesson. It's with Snape." He looked at his watch and waved as he walked through the huge double doors.
I was all alone.
