Chapter 9----Who? and What?
Harry woke up very confused. He didn't know where he was and he wanted to open his eyes and move but for some reason he couldn't. Harry laid there mentally ordering his body to move but it didnt seem to work. 'Maybe I should start small' he thought. Well, he started with his eyes. He put in all his strength to open his eyes. Finally, after much effort he was able to do this.
He looked at the scene in front of him.For one he was in the infirmory and he saw Hermione sitting by him with her head supported by her hand and silent tears going down his eyes. Ron was sitting on the other side of the bed staring into space looking concerned. After a couple of minutes Ron came back to reality and he saw that Harry was awake.
"Madame Pomfrey, Harry is awake." Ron yelled. Hermione looked up and wiped the tears off her face and a smile crept on her face.
Madame Pomfrey came bustling in and examined Harry once over. "Well, can you here me Harry? If you can blink your eyes once." She continued after she saw Harry blink. "Well, you are paralyzed and slowly one by one you will obtain control over a part of your body. You will be here for a little while. I will let your friends explain what happened because I should go inform Proffesor Dumbledore that you are awake. He has been quite worried about you." With that she ran out of the room and walked to the Headmasters office.
Harry focused his attention back to his two friends sitting there and looked back and forth between the two of them waiting for an explanation as to why he is paralyzed.
Ron was the first one to speak. "Well, I think Hermione should tell you what happened because she was the one that was actually with you and she would explain it much better than I could." Harry focused his eyes on Hermione.
"Well, since the spell that was put on you has an ever so small memory charm on it so you probably can not remember at all what happened. You and I were in the outskirts of hogsmeade leaning on a fence and we were ki... I mean talking, yeah talking." When she said that a blush crept on her face. Then it came to Harry that he had kissed Hermione and she smiled. That was why she was blushing. Ron didn't seem to notice. Since he had already heard the story he was thinking about Lavendar. After recovering herself Hermoione continued. "Well, out of nowhere I heard somebody whisper a spell. I couldn't determine where it came from but the next thing I know you were on the ground shaking. The rest is a blur. Dumbledore came and got you and brought you back to the school."
Harry thought about this and slowly he started to remember the whole thing. He looked back at Hermione as if asking if she knew who had done it.
Hermione must of caught on to what Harry was thinking "We don't know who had done it. The spell is not harmful so whoever had done it must have been trying to scare you not harm you."
None of them noticed Dumbledore silently standing in the door way. He took this as his cue to make his presense noticed. "My thoughts exactly Ms. Granger. Although I have no idea who it was. I also don't know if he was just targeting a Hogwarts student or if he had Mr. Potter in mind. I believe it is most likely the second one. Ahh. I am glad to see that you are up Mr. Potter. You had me quite worried but like always you pull through quite nicely."
Finally Ron came out of his day dream and turned to Dumbledore "So, why would somebody just try to scare him? What if its a warning to something worse to happen?" Ron went on and on with 'what if' questions.
"Mr. Weasly please calm down. We have no way of knowing so we must live our lifes like we normally do for the time being until we find out more. Now Hermione and Ron I think that Harry needs some rest so you to can do nothing for him right now so please will you two go up to your dormitory and rest for awhile. I promise you that Harry will still be here when you get back so it would be in your best interest to rest."
Ron and Hermione reluctantly went up to their dormitories to take a nap but it didnt stop them from coming back in a few hours. As soon as they left Harry drifted off into a peaceful sleep.
