Chapter 5
The Miracle
Dumbledore, McGonagall, and Snape came running into the hospital.
"What has happened here?" Dumbledore asked Madam Pomfrey.
"Miss Smith was stabbed by a young man by the lake," she replied.
"Severus, the potion please" Dumbledore requested.
Snape took out a small vile from his robes and handed it to Dumbledore. Dumbledore opened the vile and poured the potion into Emily's mouth. It worked instantly. The wound was completely healed. However, because Emily had lost so much blood she remained unconscious.
"Miss Smith is going to need a lot of rest. The potion will help heal her, but it may take a while longer" Dumbledore to Harry.
Harry nodded and stared at Emily. She was so pale and she looked so helpless.
"Emily, you have to get better. I don't know what I'll do without you," Fi sobbed into Ron's chest, "You have to make it to your 16th birthday."
"What is going to happen on her birthday?" Dumbledore asked.
"Emily is the Chosen One; she is the one girl in the world who will fight the vampires, demons, and all other evils of the world. On her 16th birthday a terrible evil will come forth and if she can't destroy it, it will destroy her. And on that day she will be at her weakest." Fi continued explaining and told them that at exactly midnight on that day she will be her strongest ever, if she lives.
The teachers couldn't believe their ears. Then she decided to tell them about how Emily's cell phone was working in the Hogwarts area. She handed Dumbledore the phone and he looked at it carefully.
Then he opened the part where the battery is and he saw a tiny chip. "There is magic on this chip and there is no way for me to remove it," Dumbledore closed it up and gave it back to Fi.
Harry sat on the bed right next to Emily. He put his hand on her face and kissed her forehead. When he kissed her, his scar started to glow a blue color.
"Harry, your scar is glowing," Hermione said in a surprised tone.
Harry looked in a mirror and couldn't believe his eyes. Then it stopped, he wondered if it was because he kissed Emily, but he wasn't sure. Everyone left and Madam Pomfrey blew out all the candles and left Emily to rest.
The next morning Emily woke up. She was incredibly weak. She could barely move her body.
"Dear, you're awake, how are you feeling?" Madame Pomfrey questioned sweetly.
She walked to the side of Emily's bed. On the bedside table she put a glass of water, pumpkin juice and a muffin. She wasn't able to sit up on her own. Madame Pomfrey helped her up and helped her eat her breakfast.
She finished eating and leaned back on her pillow. Just as Madame Pomfrey walked away Harry walked in.
"Good morning, I'm so happy you're awake. How are you feeling this morning?" he asked as he sat on her bed.
She sat up "I feel much better than last night," she said with a sweet smile. Harry could feel his heart melt again when she smiled at him.
Harry told her how his scar started to glow when he kissed her on the head last night. She looked at him strangely.
Then she said, "Dare to do it again."
She leaned toward Harry and her lips met his.
He returned the kiss and she wrapped her arms around his neck. It was a long passionate kiss and then their lips parted. Emily had to stop because she felt woozy. She opened her eyes and saw his scar glowing and then she looked down and lifted up her shirt and her scar was glowing too.
"Maybe it means we're meant for each other," she said as she stared into his emerald eyes. She couldn't help but to kiss him again.
When her lips touched his again, she heard footsteps and parted from him quickly. She lay back in her pillow and Fi walked in the room.
"Emily you scared me so bad last night," she said frantically, "you are never going to see Zack again."
Fi sat next to Emily and she gave her a big hug.
"Fi I'm feeling much better. I'm sorry that I scared you," Emily said as she hugged Fiona tightly, "But I do feel like I can get up."
She got to her feet, but she wasn't as strong as she thought. She fell back onto the bed and she blacked out. When she came to and opened her eyes Fi and Harry were looking down at her.
"Okay, well maybe I'm not that strong," She said sitting up.
Fi looked at her watch, "Oh shoot, I gotta go to second period. I'll come and see you during lunch."
She left the room and Harry sat back down.
"I have a free period now; I'll stay with you, if you want," Harry suggested.
Emily nodded and smiled, she liked being with Harry.
Madam Pomfrey walked in to check on Emily. "Alright dear, how are you feeling?"
"Well I can't get up without falling over and blacking out," Emily replied.
Madam Pomfrey sighed, "Well, if you really want to go to class you can use a wheelchair."
"I really do want to go to class. I really don't want to miss my first day of classes," Emily replied.
"Very well, I'll be right back," Madame Pomfrey went off to fetch a wheelchair.
"I'll push you around," Harry suggested.
Emily smiled, "That that would be great."
When the nurse came back Harry helped Emily out of bed and into the wheelchair. They left the hospital to go to the Great Hall for lunch. While they were going down a corridor they saw Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle. They stopped in front of Emily.
"Looks like Zack wasn't very successful in killing you," Malfoy snickered.
Harry was furious, "You gave him that idea didn't you."
Malfoy had a cruel smile on his face and he just nodded his head. Harry was so mad, but before he could do anything Emily gathered up all her strength and stood up. Before Harry could tell her to sit down she balled her fist and punched Draco in the nose. Draco fell backward into Crabbe and Goyle and Emily collapsed into her wheelchair. Harry made sure she was okay and quickly took her to the Great Hall. Crabbe and Goyle took Malfoy to the hospital wing. When they reached the Great Hall lunch hadn't started yet, so they went to the table and Harry helped Emily into a seat.
When they got settled in they saw Ron, Fi, and Hermione walk in. Ron and Fi sat next to each other and Hermione sat across from Emily. When everyone had arrived in the Great Hall the food appeared on the table. They started putting food on their plates and Harry made Emily a plate. He started to feed her and Hermione and Fi started to giggle.
Ron stopped them and said, "So today's the first Quidditch match of the season, are you ready?"
Harry looked at Ron with a surprised expression and said, "Oh my god Ron, I forgot about it."
Harry was really nervous, he had been practicing but, now he had to impress Emily. He didn't want to get hurt, like the many times before. He snapped out of his thoughts when Ron waved his hand in front of his face.
"Harry, you there, come on let's go warm up before the match," Ron got up and headed to the door.
Before Harry got up Emily kissed him on the cheek, "Good luck, I'll see you later."
Harry smiled and left the Great Hall with Ron. Emily continued eating and Fi and Hermione were staring at her.
"What, your looking at me like I did something wrong," she yelled at the two.
"You two are awfully close," Fi said with a smile on her face.
"Harry has been taking care of me, that's all," she paused, "and I think we have a connection because of our scars."
She had a smile on her face that just wouldn't go away.
"I think you're in love Emily," Hermione said.
"I think you're right Mione, I can't stop thinking about him. When he's away from me I miss him terribly, I can't wait to see him at the match," Emily said to Fi and Hermione.
The girls finished up their lunch and Fi helped Emily into her wheelchair. Then they all went to get seats for the match.
