Influenced Chapter 7- No explanations?
Harry woke up to see darkness. As usual, he couldn't see, as he wasn't wearing his glasses. He knew where he was though. He had been taken to the hospital wing. He fumbled for his glasses and found them beside him. As he sat up, he saw Ron beside him. Harry knew that it was very late at night, or very early in the morning. The last thing he remembered was yelling in the corridor with Hermione leaving, and Professor McGonagall had found them, bringing them straight to the hospital wing.
He crept over to Ron's bed. He knew Professor McGonagall had wanted to question them, but Dumbledore had wanted to let them sleep. From the colour of the sky out of the window, Harry guessed that it might have been maybe four or five o'clock in the morning.
Ron was still sleeping, although it looked like he had had an uneasy night. He had dark bags under his eyes. He didn't look like he was in a very deep sleep anyway, so Harry woke him up.
"Ron...Ron..."He whispered.
Ron groaning and rolled over in his bed, covering his face with the covers.
"Ron!" Harry grabbed his shoulder and shook it roughly. Finally, this seemed to have some kind of effect.
"What...?" Ron groaned. He slowly opened his eyes, and looked up at Harry. Then he seemed to remember the events of the previous day, and sat up rigidly.
"Harry...what...?" He started. Harry sighed heavily and sat down onto the side of the bed.
"I know. I first woke up thinking it was a dream, but then I realised it was real, too real..." Said Harry.
Ron gave him a puzzled look. None of them seemed to understand. They talked about what had happened for what had seemed like hours, and finally there was a knock at the door. In came Albus Dumbledore.
"Hello Harry. Hello Ron. How are you feeling today?" He quizzed, though he could clearly see from the boys tired expressions that they weren't feeling well at all.
"Uh...fine, Professor," Replied Harry weakly. He glanced at Ron with a knowing look. They were expecting questions, and a lot of them.
"I think you know what's coming..." Said Dumbledore. That was the thing with him, he always knew what you were thinking, even if you said something totally different.
"Questions?" Harry and Ron said simultaneously.
Dumbledore chuckled softly. "Yes, that's right. But you do know that I need to know about what happened yesterday. I need to know who did this. Harry?" He said expectantly.
"Um..."Harry replied uneasily.
Dumbledore glanced over his half moon glasses and switched his vision to Ron.
"Uh..."Ron replied.
Dumbledore sighed again. "Harry, Ron, it is important to let me know who did this. They can't get away with it. I need to decide which would be the correct course of action to take, and deal with them in the appropriate way. Whoever it was used an unforgivable curse, you know I cannot let that pass, don't you...?"
Harry decided that whatever happened, Dumbledore would find out who it was. It would be better coming from him, and to tell Dumbledore that it wasn't like Hermione at all. There was something wrong with her.
"Professor, this is kind of hard to explain, but it was...Hermione... who did this..." He stopped, and waited for Dumbledore's reaction. For one of the first times ever, Harry saw what Dumbledore looked like when he was truly surprised.
"Miss Granger did this?" He said in a shocked sort of way.
"Yeah," Said Ron. "But we don't think she was quite herself, if you get what I mean..." He added.
"Tell me exactly what happened, when you first crossed Ms Grangers path."
So Harry and Ron explained all about the train ride, her threatening Harry, right up to the point where the blocked her path in the corridor.
"So you see Professor, this doesn't seem like Hermione at all. We understand that she used an Unforgivable spell, but..." Harry stopped. For some reason, something deep inside him was questioning why he was defending Hermione. He didn't like it, but he knew he shouldn't be sticking up for her. Dumbledore got up and briskly made his way towards the door.
Before he left, Ron said, "Professor, what are you going to do?"
Dumbledore gave him a saddened glance, and answered, "I don't know." And left the room.
Ooh! Do you like this chapter? Its quite long, but cool! Please review!
