A/N: Read!
Harry awoke the next morning, knowing what he would do. He immediately went to see the Professor he had talked to last night, without even eating breakfast.
"Professor?" Harry asked, knocking on her door.
"Come in," she called from inside her temporary office.
"I know what I am going to do," he announced.
She nodded for him to continue.
"I am going back to Hogwarts," he said.
"The carriage will be waiting as soon as you are ready," she said, as a dismissal. Harry left, and hurried to pack.
There was no time to say good-byes, not even to Fred and George, who were eating. Harry ran out to the front. The carriage was there, just like the professor promised. Harry boarded.
He watched the scenery outside, too nervous to sleep. As the Weasly twins said, going over the water was interesting. Harry would have agreed, but there was too much on his mind.
Soon familiar Hogwarts came into view. As soon as the carriage stopped, he ran out. Dumbledore was waiting.
"Voldemort fled last night. Leave your trunk here. The victims are in the hospital wing." Dumbledore said this very quickly, but with astounding clarity. Harry nodded and raced off to the hospital wing.
He knew he way there by heart, having been there so many times. He hoped he wasn't too late. Students he ran by in the halls waved, and only after he was gone did it register that Harry was supposed to be at another school.
Harry entered the hospital wing, and hurried over to Hermione.
"Herm?" He whispered.
"Harry?" She answered softly.
"Yah, it's me." It pained Harry to see Herm like this.
"You didn't have to come back, you should have stayed there, you know," she smiled weakly.
He shook his head.
"It was horrible, Harry, he came, and quickly hurt others. I was also hurt. He said it was a lure, to get you back here, but after Dumbledore made him leave . . ."
"Shh," Harry told her. They were silent, just enjoying each other's presence.

Harry stayed at school for the rest of the year, as Hermione slowly made her recovery. Harry attended classes with everyone else, after he explained why he was back. They received news that the Hogwarts team had won, and soon they were back, celebrating late into the night. Harry owled Sarah, Mark, and Jeff often. In one of Jeff's letters Jeff explained that Mark liked Sarah, and Sarah liked Harry, which was why Mark was jealous. Harry knew he had made the right decision, and wondered what would have happened if he had made it differently . . .
