"Attention students!" Harry called over the chatter in the great hall with no response. Hermione stood up and placed the tip of her wand to her neck, took a deep breath, and blasted her voice through the long room prompting silence. "Thank you. As many of you know, a close friend of mine has been found. I first would like to thank all of you for your concern over his wellbeing. Secondly, I regret to inform you that he cannot be helped. He will not die, but he is going to have a very long recovery." Harry paused at noticing Ginny getting up with tears in her eyes and running out of the great hall. "It is going to be a long road with the recovery work that must be done. However, remember that even in the darkest hours of Hogwarts, help will always be given to those who ask for it. But only if it is deserved." Harry sat down with a large exhale. "Well, aren't you going to comfort your girlfriend?" Hermione asked. Harry struggled to find a response. "I- I know I should, but I can't look her in the face after what I did to her." "So that's it? You feel you screwed up, so you won't talk to her?" Harry glared at Hermione as he got up and walked out the door.
