Ch. IX Chowing Down
There was yelling and screaming in the boys' dormitory. Harry woke up clueless. Professor Winky was staring down at Harry.
"Oh very sorry to wake you up, Mr. Potter, but your cousin Dudley has had a major heart attack," said Winky holding the back of Harry's head.
"What, a heart attack? Where is Madame Pomfrey? Did she help him?" asked Harry. "It is a bigger than the normal heart attack, he...he ate Winky the house- elf," explained Professor Winky.
"What do you mean ate her?" asked Harry cluelessly.
"Look fatso over there, he say little elf take his butter. I don't know but he need to lay off butter!" screamed Po.
"Calm down, I have had many heart attacks and I turned out fine," said Professor Trunky.
All the professors nodded their head.
"You crazy, you look like big panda big and white!" yelled Po, "speaking of panda one day I climb the bamboo and I fall. I land on big fat panda, panda save my life. So tradition say we have ceremony for panda. Panda taste great after uncle put his potion Doo Doo Hyung Pot Pie," explained Po.
"Calm down all of you! Mr. Potter is dealing with great stress, Potter, come with me to my class," said Winky.
"Yes, sir." said Harry.
Ron was standing there looking amazed.
"What are you looking at Ron?" asked Harry.
"I am looking at you, why do you care?" said Ron.
"Go back to sleep, you are no help!" exclaimed Harry.
"On the contrary Mr. Potter, Ron woke Professor Winky, the head of Gryffindor, " said Professor Trunky.
"Ron.you helped my cousin? Thanks for everything," said Harry.
"No problem, Harry. You know I will always be there for you," said Ron, "anyway Dudley sounded like he swallowed a boulder or something. Worst part was when I asked if he wanted a glass of pumpkin juice to calm him down, he asked for two sticks of butter with it," said Ron.
"He has problems, he needs to lose weight!" said Trunky.
Everybody looked and closed their mouths, but to break the silence somebody responded.
"He need to lose weight? You know you people very, very funny. What next? Winky say he not black?" screamed Po.
"Come on Mr. Potter follow me!" insisted Winky.
"Sorry, but I need to be with my cousin," said Harry , very scared.
"Fine! I will be gone," said Winky softly.
"I do not know, Harry, he scares me," said Ron.
"At least say it when I am not still in the room," said Winky, smiling.
"Crikey, he heard me," said Ron.
"Okay Misteeer Potter and Misteeer Weasley me go nighty night ok bye, bye," said Po.
"Bye little boys. I will not eat you!" said Trunky reassuringly.
Harry and Ron went over to the hospital wing to check on Dudley.
"Sorry Mr. Potter and Mr. Weasley, he is sleeping," said Madame Pomfrey.
"It is okay, let them in," said Dudley weakly.
"Very well then, come on in," said Madam Pomfrey.
"What happened, Dudley?" asked Harry.
"Well, I wanted a midnight snack and I went down to the kitchen to go eat," said Dudley hungrily, "that elf refused to give me a stick of butter for my porridge!" said Dudley, angrily. "She got an attitude like that poor black woman we saw at the mall during the summer...getting mad she got robbed. So, I just wanted to bite her, but she fell down my throat. My heart felt like I got stung by a bee in my arteries. The nurse lady says I need to lay off all foods except water and something called 'vegetables'. It was all green. I guess Ginny won't have a partner," said Dudley.
"They said you will be better in a couple of days," said Ron.
"But she will not be my partner anymore," said Dudley crying. "She is the only girl that liked me... I wonder why?" said Dudley.
"It will be okay," assured Harry.
The two left and went to sleep.
