Chapter 8:
A few days later Hermione becomes concerned that Ron hasn't been doing his homework and may be failing some of his course. She gets dressed with the thought running over and over in her mind.
"I am going to have to ask Ron about this." She thinks leaving her dormitory and heading to the great hall.
"Ronald can I talk to you please,' she states walking up to where him and Harry are sitting eating. 'Have you been doing your homework Ronald...? I haven't seen you studying in the common room or in the library."
Around the table people are looking at each other and whispering "Did the make up, are they back together.
Ron sits there blushing "No I haven't really. I started but I can't find the information I was looking for" Ron states like the fight between the two had never happened.
"You could have just asked for help Ronald, you know I'm always here to help" Hermione replies.
Harry looks at the two of them with wide eyes, as Neville wishers to him "You know anything about this Harry."
He shakes his head and whispers back "Last I knew these two were still fighting." He replies. As they watch Ron and Hermione walk out to the Great hall together talking about homework.
All day everyone watched as Ron and Hermione sat together in class, whispering, helping each other, leaving everyone more and more confused. At the end of the day Harry, Hermione and Ron where heading towards the library when they run into Ginny and Luna.
"Luna, Ginny where are you guys heading to?" Harry asks.
"Oh, I need help with Defense against the Dark Arts. And Ginny's coming with for some extra help." Luna asks.
"Why can't you ask one of your house mates to help you?" Ron asks.
"We'll you should know, they don't really like me. So they won't help me." Luna says.
"Maybe, maybe we should go with you?" Ron stutters.
"Why?" Ginny asks. A concerned look on her face.
The night she had over heard Ron, Hermione and Harry talking about Professor Gertrude popped into her head.
"Because, We could use some help to." Ron stated.
"Alright. Come one lets go before it gets too late." Hermione finally says.
When they finally reached the Defense against the Dark Arts class room, they stopped at the door. It was as if Harry was listening for some sign of movement at the door. Ginny, not noticing the worried expression on Harry's face opens the door and walks in.
"Professor? We need some help." Ginny calls.
"Yes? Oh, come in, come in." Gertrude calls to them. Her face immediately falls upon Harry and Luna.
"We're having trouble with the way the Warewolf use language to talk to each other." Luna says.
"Oh, well, come in then. And what do you three need help with. It can't be the same as them."
"We, erm, need help with identifying the symptoms of someone who is under the curse of the Death-Clairvoyant." Hermione states quickly.
As the teacher explains about Warewolf language Luna is sitting writing what she is being told, when her headache begins to get worse. Suddenly she remembers there was a man and then there was a rat in his place.
"Professor? I saw a man and then there was a rat instead. I saw him, a while ago." She asks.
"What?" Professor Gertrude asks.
"How are you Luna? You don't look too good." Seen as how she had begun to sweat profusely.
Harry, Ron and Hermione look at Luna with quizzical looks on their face. What was she talking about? Was running through Harry's head.
The Professor was beginning to look worried and very upset.
"Oh no. She's remembering!" Gertrude thought. "I'm going to have to deal with her now." She continued to think.
As the teacher began to stare at Luna, Luna was getting worse. As if a silent and deadly poison was coming from the very air they breathed. It seemed impossible, but Luna was getting worse.
"Why don't you go to bed now. I'll take Miss. Lovegood to the Hospital wing."
Every one leaves but Harry. He still didn't trust her.
"I can take her Professor. And besides, you have to mark tests from a few days ago that we did on The Death-Clairvoyant." Harry insisted.
"No Potter. You need your rest. I'll see you tomorrow." She said as she carried the limp form of Luna off in the opposite direction in which Harry had had to go in order to get to the common room.
After Harry had slowly began to make his way up to bed, he thought he had better make sure she took Luna to the Hospital wing and not just drop her off some where.
And sure enough, a while later, Harry saw Professor Gertrude enter the Hospital Wing with Luna in her arms. Luna was placed on a bed and as Madame Pomphrey began to work on getting Luna better, Harry saw the teacher leave. But as he was about to leave. Something caught his eyes. She was putting her wand back into her robes.
"What was she doing with her wand out any way?" Harry asked himself..
But before he could do anything about it she was heading to wards him. He ran off at high speed to Gryffindor common room to tell Hermione and Ron.
