Kristin was enjoying the rising sun which warmed her as she walked towards
the lake in the Hogwarts grounds looking for her lost book. As she
searched the ground for her lost possession she failed to notice the
shivering body near the edge of the lake. As she moved her search along
the bank a scream filled the air as she saw Harry's body encased in his
soaked cloak and shivering violently.
Harry awoke with a jump. The crisp, clean sheets of Hogwarts Hospital wing covered his pale skin and put his mind at ease to where he was. Harry placed his head back onto the plumped pillow and allowed himself to close his eyes for a minute. Once he had closed his eyes a scream erupted from the bottom of the ward. Madam Pomfrey ran past the end of Harry's bed towards the source of the sound. Harry could hear her trying to calm the boy down but nothing worked. His scream continued for fifteen minutes before the boy finally stopped screaming and burst into painful sobs. Harry's head was pounding, he didn't know whether it was from this activities or the boy screaming.
Eventually the noise subsided and the effects of the sleeping potion had finally taken effect. Madam Pomfrey bustled around Harry making him feel more comfortable and bringing him his lunch. She finished her work around Harry and turned to face him
'You are ok now, don't know how you got into that state anyhow but I'm sure you will live. Found you by the lake they did, shivering and soaked to the bone. The poor girl was in a right state when she found you, thought you were dead, but she wont be seeing any Thestrels yet! I need you to drink this potion just to take that chill off your chest, drink up. There we go...now can you speak?'
'Yes'
'Are you ready to tell me what happened'
'It was an accident, I slipped into the last and I couldn't move' Harry shifted his eyes, he didn't like lying to people who were trying to help him. 'Can I speak to Professor Dumbledor please?'
'He came to check on you earlier on, when you were still unconscious. He will be back later to check on you. I have his word.' She smiled when she saw the boy smile. 'Now you get some rest, there's no doubt that you will have more company later on, even without my permission.' She frowned and walked away to tend to other patients.
Harry started to take in his surroundings mainly because he was still in shock of being in a strange place when he woke up. There was a small girl that he seemed to recognise from Ravenclaw was in a bed on the opposite side of the room, looking particularly strange with a large pair of antlers protruding from beneath her golden hair. When she saw Harry looking at her with curiosity and mouthed the word
'Malfoy'
Harry felt a sharp tug in his chest. Thinking of the previous nights events Harry's memory began to unfold. Malfoys eyes melting in front of his own, the disgusting sight filled his head and he couldn't escape from it. Bellarix...something happened with her, Harry tried to go back in his memory, he knew that there was something important but he just couldn't remember it. Harry lay his head back onto the pillow. All this thinking was making his head ache again.
The screaming had started again. Madam Pomfrey had given up trying to calm down the boy by talking to him. Every word she said made the boy scream louder trying to block her voice out. The screaming persisted for a whole hour this time. The other patients started to complain to contribute to the din. Madam Pomfrey bustled out of the room muttering under her breath. She came back after ten minutes and started to place a silence charm around the small, screaming boy's bed so that all the other patients could rest.
'There we go, you can all go back to your beds now, there's nothing to see here. Come on chop chop!'
The students grumbled as the walked back to their beds. Even though the boys screaming had been disturbing and annoying it was still a distraction from the lack of excitement that was the Hospital wing. Harry, however, was preoccupied by the freezing sensation that was running from his toes up to his stomach.
' Madam Pomfrey! Madam Pomfrey!' The old woman walked over to Harry's bed holding two bottles of different medicine.
'Yes Harry, what's the matter?'
'My toes... I think they're frozen. It started at my toes and now it feels like my stomach and legs are freezing too.' Harry, who didn't like asking for help, said this so quietly that Madam Pomfrey had to ask him to repeat it so that she could find out Harry's problem.
'Oh dear, well let me have a look.' She pulled back the covers to find that Harry's legs had gone as stiff as a board and could not be moved, just like if they were frozen. 'Well, that is very strange indeed. It should go away if you drink some of this.' Harry was handed a cup, half filled of a bright solution that occasionally produced a multicoloured bubble. As Harry watched as it produced yet another bubble he suddenly realised what was so important. The globe was not hanging around his neck, nor was it on his bed side table.
'Where is it? Madam Pomfrey did I have a globe around my neck when I came in?'
'I don't remember seeing anything, you were just in your clothes and you had your wand, nothing else.'
Harry shook his head, this couldn't be happening, the globe was gone. He grabbed his now clean cloaks from beside his bed where Madam Pomfrey had laid them and started to search frantically through all of the bundle.
'Shit!'
'Harry! Please don't use that language in my hospital wing. Now calm down, we don't want you getting hurt again. No, Harry stay still you cant go anywhere in that state...come back your not allowed to leave!' Madam Pomfrey called hopelessly after him as Harry sprinted out of the hospital wing, pulling his cloak over his head as he ran. 'Shit'.
'No, no, no its got to be here. It cant be gone.' Horrible thoughts swarmed through Harry's mind as to what had happened to the precious globe. Had it smashed? Been eaten by the giant squid? Had the Death-eaters found it in the water? Harry shook his head as he tried to drown out the horrible thoughts. He was quickly pulled out of his frantic worrying as two voices rang out from across the field.
'HARRY!'
'HARRY!'
Harry turned around to see his two best friends running across the grass at top speed. His worried expression quickly changed into a huge grin as he hugged Hermione and Ron in turn. He looked at their happy faces, flushed from the run and couldn't bear to change their expression to Ron's usual face of panic and of Hermione's look of concern and her usual suggestion to go to Professor Dumbledor and in the meantime to consult a book. Harry hugged them both again, thanking God that he had such great friends.
'How are you Harry? We went to come and visit you in the hospital wing and Madam Pomfrey said that you had been shouting and then you stormed out.' Hermione looked at Harry with her disapproving look.
'Now wait just a minute, I think that's a bit of an exaggeration all I did was swear and then run out that's hardly shouting and storming is it? I did leave but because I have lost something very important and I need to find it... can you help?'
'Sure mate' volunteered Ron 'We'll help, wont we Hermione?'
'Yes, ok. What have you lost?'
'It's a small glass globe on chain, you'll know it when you see it
