Lost And Found

Chapter 3 – In The Hospital Wing


Harry ran off, his head spinning. He couldn't see. He collapsed onto the grass near the steps to the castle. He must've passed out then, because all he saw was a swish of black and he was gone.

Harry woke up four hours later in the hospital wing.

"Oh thank goodness!" Hermione exclaimed when he awakened. "We were so worried!"

"Where am I?" Harry asked stupidly

"The hospital wing," Ron answered in a you-must-have-hit-your-head-harder-than-I-thought voice.

"Yea, but how did I get here?" Harry asked reaching for his glasses.

"We…we don't know. When we found you, you were inside the school," Hermione said. "Didn't you see?"

"No," Harry answered blankly "All I saw was some black hair and then I must've passed out."

"Hey Harry! I have good news!" Ron exclaimed suddenly. "Filch's cat, you know Mrs. Norris? She's gone missing!" Ron's face was full of delight.

"And you're happy about this?" Hermione asked, quite clearly mad.

"Quite apparently, yes," Harry answered in monotone.

"Harry, are you ok?" Ron inquired, waving his hand in front of Harry's face.

"Just fine," Harry answered.

"You don't seem like yourself at all Harry," Hermione muttered worriedly "What's all this about? You seem distant from us."

"It's just that…I mean…I had a family…and not all of them were destroyed by Voldemort. I could have had part of my family with me. My own flesh and blood. But the Dursleys took that away from me," Harry spat bitterly. "I had a sister."

The loss of his sister seemed to hit Harry harder than the loss of his parents, but he couldn't figure out why. He knew he couldn't do anything to the Dursleys, but that didn't stop him from being mad.
