Hi everybody. I don't know how long this story is going to go on. I just
kind of make it up as I go along and try to make sure the facts match with
my previous chapters. So it will be however long I want I
guess...hehehehehehe. By the way people. If your going to give me a
review, please do not use internet abbreviations. I don't use them in my
stories and I would really appreciate it if you didn't use them back. If I
have to spend more than five minutes trying to figure out what a person is
trying to tell me, it shows that there is obviously a devolution in the
English language. I don't mean to sound like a 70 year old square here but
I seriously don't know what those things mean! And in response to one of
my reviewers, I was being sarcastic when I said I could write at the 6th
grade level. I'm really in college right now. So if you read what I
actually said, I was making fun of myself. Sorry I just don't like people
accusing me of being a pompous ass when I really wasn't. I really do like
people making fun of me as long as it's true. So now that I've put in my
two cents, ON WITH THE STORY!
Chapter 5
Harry woke up and recounted the events of the night before. He quickly got dressed and headed down to the Great Hall for breakfast. Ron, Hermione, and Ginny were all ready down there eating. Harry looked over Ron's shoulder and saw Luna sidling up to their table. She put her hands over his eyes.
"Guess who!" She giggled. Ron tried to conceal his peeved expression.
"I don't think I want to know." Ron said quietly so she could not hear.
"It's me Ron!" Luna declared.
"Oh how could I not have guessed." Ron replied halfheartedly. Luna sat down next to him and proceeded to eat her breakfast.
"So where were you last night Harry?" Hermione said suddenly. Harry jerked his head out of his cereal bowl and his mind raced trying to think of an excuse.
"Oh...I...uh...just went to Professor Pumple's room" Harry stuttered.
"For three hours?" Hermione asked. She almost had an accusing tone in her voice.
"Yeah...uh...she was helping me with that essay that's due soon." Harry replied. "Now that you mention her, I think I need to go talk to her again." Harry quickly rushed out of the room. Harry veered towards the Hospital Wing and looked in. He saw Madame Pompfrey hovering from patient to patient. Mysteriously, Draco was not in sight. Madame Pompfrey looked up at Harry and smiled vacantly.
"Hi Harry" she said. "Please sit down in my office."
Harry went into her office which was full of potions, books, and pamphlets on things like: "SNAKE VENOM, Harmful, or potentially helpful in the long run?"
"I have some bad news. Draco still hasn't come out of the coma. School policy is that if a patient hasn't come to within 12 hours of their arrival, they must be tested to see what is ailing them. What we found was very odd and shocking. Our tests revealed that one of the Unforgivable curses has been used on him." Harry felt like he had just been hit with a brick.
"What did you just say?"
"Harry we had to send him to St. Mungo's. I need to see you and that girl you were with last night. We need to get the real story." Madame Pompfrey said.

Harry went out to the Quidditch pitch to see Ron attempt to teach Luna. He had to get the news about Draco off of his mind for awhile. Madame Pompfrey said she would call for him and Karlina when Dumbledore was free. Harry sat on the bleachers and waved to them. Ron was trying to get Luna to fly in a straight line. He frantically was pointing in directions. Occasionally he had to dive to grab the front of Luna's broom when she went for a nosedive. Harry laughed to himself as Luna went in circles and loops and a horrified Ron looked on.
"Go left! NO, OTHER LEFT!" Ron screamed. After an agonizing hour, Luna and Ron landed and Harry went to go meet them. To his surprise, Ron was actually laughing hysterically with Luna. Could he have actually enjoyed all that?
"Hi Harry!" Luna yelled. "Same time tomorrow Ron?" Ron nodded as she ran off.
"Well, well, well." Harry chuckled.
"Don't start with me Harry." Ron frowned. Out of the corner of his eye, Harry thought he saw Ron grin.

Harry and Ron met Hermione in the Library. Suddenly Harry remembered what had happened earlier. He sat in his chair like he was trying to sit on needles. He attempted to study for his next Transfiguration test but he found himself reading the same line over and over. Harry gloomily gazed up at Hermione who caught him.
"All right Harry, I've had enough of this moping!" Hermione fiercely whispered. "What is going on!"
"Oh Hermione, you always think something is wrong with Harry. You're not his mother you know" Ron replied.
"Ron you don't know! You've been to busy with your own life to even realize that Harry's been really depressed lately." Hermione shot back.
"Okay Miss Perfect. You think you know everything don't you. Why don't you become a damn psychiatrist if you can read everyone's minds so well." Ron retorted. Immediately he knew he had crossed the line. All three sat there quietly in the library staring blankly at their books.
"Okay maybe I should come clean with you guys." Harry said slowly. Hermione put her book down and shot Ron a look. "Of course if you two want to fight some more, be my guest."
"No no Harry," Ron stammered. "Tell us. If you can't tell us anything, who can you tell."
Harry told them the whole story of him, Draco, Karlina, and the book.
"Harry you need to go talk to Professor Pumple immediately, or even Dumbledore. You need to figure out which spell you cast on Draco!" Hermione said. She was blatantly trying to stay calm, but horror was exuding from her eyes.
"Wow Harry. An Unforgivable Curse. Only top wizards can do those." Ron said quietly.
"And really evil ones!" Harry whispered. He felt like screaming at Ron. How could he not be scared or angry at Harry! Harry knew Ron hated Draco, but no one wished for him to go to St. Mungo's!
Harry ran out of the library. He could not face his friends anymore. He was alone.
