Chapter 4:
He put his hand around her wrist and pulled out the portkey and they disappeared back to the school.
They landed on the ground in the Hogwarts hallway. Harry quickly picked up Alicia. He felt very nervous that she might not make it. Since her heart was beating very slowly and she hadn't moved since he'd first seen her in the graveyard. He walked as swiftly as he could to the infermery.(sp?)
His muscles ached from carrying her. But he knew it was nothing compared to what she felt right now. So he shook it away and walked as quickly as possible. He finally reached the infermery.
When he got there Madame Pomfry said "Oh dear. What happened to her?"
Harry said, "Can you help her. I'll explain later."
Madame Pomfry said, "I'll do me best. Why don't you lay her on that empty bed over there."
Harry nodded and laid her onto the bed. He then took a seat next to her on a nearby chair. Madame Pomfry came in not to long afterwards with some water and her wand.
She said "Harry why don't you try to give her some water. Just pour some on her lips. Hopefully she can at least lick her lips. Now Harry tell me what happened."
Harry said as he poured some water on her lips "Well it all started two days ago. She said she saw Hermoine and Draco talking about trying to bring someone to Voldemort." Harry saw her flitch at his name but he continued. "She said they were talking about having Hermoine place a portkey in that person's backpack and that someone would go after that person so that there would be two of them.
"She told me but I didn't believe her. But when I went to class this morning I overheard Draco telling a few Slytherins about it. So I went to her class. And I found the second portkey in her backpack since they were talking about her not taking her grandfather's place. So I ended up where they were.
"I heard her scream so I looked for her and saw Vold- You-Know-Who putting the Cruciatus Curse on her. I also saw one of his supporters telling him it had been five minutes that they had been doing the curse. So I looked in my robes for something to distract them and found a few Filibuster Fireworks. I put them off and they stupidly left her. So I went over to her and grabbed her wrist and the portkey. Which brought us back here."
Madame Pompfry nodded shockingly and said, "Did you tell Dumbledore?"
Harry said, "No he has no idea. Like I said we came straight here."
Madame Pompfry said "Alright. Well I doubt she will be waking up anytime soon. According to what you said. You are welcome to stay here if you want."
Harry nodded and said, "How long do you think she'll stay like this? When will she wake up?"
Madame Pompfry said, "I'd say about 5 days before she wakes up. But when she does she'll be very weak. Why don't you go inform Dumbledore of what has happened."
Harry nodded and left the room. To go talk to Dumbledore.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ One week later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Harry had stayed in the informatory as often as he could. Before he knew it he had formed a crush on Alicia. He just hoped she would forgive him. Though she had not yet awoken Madame Pompfry said that there was improvement since she arrived about a week ago.
Harry told Dumbledore about Draco and Hermoine but he could not prove it. So therefore they had gone unpunished. He had not spoken to Hermoine since he found out. He also seemed to spend less time with Ron.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Alicia's P.O.V~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alicia had been lying awake for quite some time now. But she could barely move let alone open her eyes. She thought come on I have to open my eyes. Just do it. She slowly gathered every muscle and bit of energy she could find and opened her eyes.
When she did this she saw Harry. Okay she thought I must have something wrong with my eyes. So she closed them for a second and opened them again and he was still there.
She opened her raspy lips and said "Harry" rather softly.
She watched him turn his head towards her.
He said, "You're awake."
She said "Yea. What... Are you... doing here?"
Harry said, "I'm sorry I didn't believe you Alicia. I should have. I guess I didn't believe you because I thought Hermoine would be the last person to join Voldemort. I'm really sorry. I hope you'll forgive me because I love you."
Alicia was shocked to hear this. He loved her. She said after a minute "I forgive you."
Harry forced a smile and said; "Now I'm embarrassed that I just said that."
Alicia said "And I'm enjoying it." She then smiled the best she could while in her condition.
He said "So... Are you mad that I said that."
She said "No"
Harry said, "What do you mean by that?"
Alicia said "It me...."
Madame Pomfry cut her off.
Madame Pomfry said, "Good you're awake. You need to have this chocolate and some water. Now eat up."
Madame Pomfry put a glass of water in her face and some very small pieces of chocolate.
Alicia nodded and said "Ummm... I can't really move that well."
Madame Pomfry said "Of course. Harry why don't you give it to her. I have to go deal with Draco." She eyed him. Since he was the one who beat Draco up after he told Dumbledore what happened.
She walked over to a nearby bed and closed the curtains.
Alicia said, "You beat him up."
Harry nodded and said, "I was really mad at him. Especially since Hermoine told me she was being controlled by the Imperious Curse to do everything she did."
Alicia said "Oh... To bad I wasn't there."
Harry smiled and said, "So what were you saying before?"
Alicia said, "That I feel the same way, Harry. That was why I was so hurt when you said that you didn't believe me."
Harry said "Oh... Well I guess you should have your chocolate."
Alicia said, "Don't change the subject."
Harry said "Okay. So what did you want to say."? He stared at the floor.
Alicia said, "Not say. do."
Harry looked at her and said, "What is that supposed to mean?"
Alicia said "Harry, you are thick- headed you know that?"
Harry said, "You want to kiss me."
Alicia said, "What do you think?"
Harry shrugged and bent down and kissed her.
She thought... Gosh...It's everything I expected and more.
Harry thought... Oh my gosh she likes me. (A/n: I know it is all mushy but I have to do this for the sequel)
Harry broke the kiss and said" I think you should have your chocolate before Madame Pomfry gets back."
She nodded and said "Okay."
He then fed her, her chocolate.
Madame Pomfry came back with some sleep potion and said "Good your done. You need to drink this and Harry you better leave it's 30 minutes past curfew."
Harry said "Okay. Bye Alicia. I'll come back tomorrow."
Alicia said "Bye."
Alicia than drank the potion and drifted off to sleep. She awoke later that night to Dumbledore.
"Alicia wake up we have to talk," Dumbledore said.
Alicia opened her eyes and said,"Mmm... what is it?"
"I need to show you something. It'll be quick but you have to see this so you know," Dumbledore said.
He helped her out of bed and onto a wheelchair. He walked in front of the wheelchair and it followed him. He said," easier than muggle wheelchairs."
She smiled still slightly weak she didn't say much. She wanted to save her energy to ask questions when they got to wherever they were going. He stopped in front of a door and waved his wand and mumbled a few words to open it. Her mouth dropped open when she saw the room. It had pictures and boxes everywhere with a big sign that engraved her parent's names (Alicia and Tom). When she entered the room on one side it showed the Slytherin serpent on the other the Gryffindor lion and on the ceiling it said, joined together forever. Her mouth dropped open more that before. As she realized her mother was the heir to Gryffindor and her father was the heir to Slytherin.
Dumbledore looked at her and smiled as he said," yes your mother was the heir to Gryffindor. Your father Slytherin."
She went to one of the boxes and opened it up and found pictures of her parents at school. There was one with her the day she was born her mother was holding her in a bed while her father leaned behind her mother and wrapped his arm around her.
Dumbledore said," your mom wanted that picture for while you were with me. She knew you had to be protected."
Tears started down my face. She hated her grandfather. He'd keep doing it she thought try to capture her but fail and wait for me to have a child and repeat it all over again.
I asked," who was his wife?"
He knew what she meant and she knew it.
He paused for awhile than said," he raped her and forced her to go through the whole birthing process at his place when your father was born he killed her. He didn't show any remorse. To him it was essential if he wanted to be the next Dark Lord."
I said," that's sick."
Dumbledore said," you're right."
He walked over to another box at the other side of the room and opened it. He pulled out a gold bracelet. He walked over to her and set it in her hand.
He said," your mother made this for you to protect you. She used old magic in the Gryffindor line of magic so you could be save when you wore it. Or when anyone else wore it. She was going to fix that so only a Gryffindor could wear it but then she died. Luckily the bracelet was in here where it could be safe." He took her hand and slipped the bracelet on. On it said To My Daughter Shall You Be Protected Forever.
She felt tears fall down her cheeks but pushed them away.
She said," Thank you."
He smiled at her and said," we'll leave everything in here until you graduate but you can come in here whenever you like and please keep that bracelet on for your sake. Voldemort won't be able to kill you with that on. If he gets it he can use dark magic and make himself immortal. So don't ever take it off even when you take a shower. He can easily take it," knowing everything he said," even Harry can where it if you feel he's in danger."
She asked," how did you know?"
"Madame Pompfry told me. Speaking of her we better get you back or she'll have a fit. You can bring a few pictures if you like," he said.
She smiled and grabbed the picture of her and her parents along with a scrapbook of her parent's wedding. She'd look at them in the morning after she told Harry everything.
