Chapter 7 (kind of weird, 7 reviews and the 7th chapter)
Harry was torn in two in whether to tell someone or not. Although, it was the right thing to do since they all wanted to know, it would show how weak he was, if he couldn't even take Malfoy, would he ever be able to face Voldemort? He just decided to pretend that nothing happened.
Morning came and Madame Pomfrey brought Harry some breakfast. "You need to eat all of that so you will heal faster and better." Harry listened to her and ate it, even though he wasn't hungry.
"Will I be able to leave today and go back to classes?" asked Harry as Madame Pomfrey checked him over.
"I'm not sure, we'll see after I finish healing you." She then continued to use her wand muttering many spells at Harry. He felt as if he was slowly getting better and better wherever she pointed her wand, it was a strange sensation. "Well, Mr. Potter I suppose you may go to your classes today, but I want you to come back after dinner so I can see if you are still okay."
Harry was overjoyed he could leave, the hospital wing was the one place he didn't like to be, well that and the department of mysteries. He hurried down the stairs to the Great Hall to catch Hermione and Ron at breakfast. He found it surprising that he had to catch his breath and his legs did hurt, but he just ignored it. When he walked in he spotted them right away, he walked up to them and took a seat as if nothing had happened.
"Harry! What are you doing here? You're supposed to be in the Hospital Wing!"
"She said I could leave and go to my classes today"
"That's great 'mate! McGonagall just said she'll be announcing Quidditch Captains today!"
The hall started to thin out as people headed for their classes. "What class do I even have today?" asked Harry to Ron and Hermione.
"We all have Defense Against the Dark Arts this morning" replied Hermione, I think it will be great to get to know the new teacher."
Ron just rolled his eyes at this, "I just hope we don't get a lot of homework."
They all walked in and noticed today's lesson was with Slytherin today. Harry just walked past Malfoy without looking or saying a thing, and Malfoy surprisingly did the same.
Suddenly, Professor Bugiardo walked in and started the lesson. "Today, we will sadly not be learning a lot today, because it is required that I let you know all about this being a N.E.W.T level course."
She then continued to talk about things that Harry already knew, likewise with Ron and Hermione. Before Harry knew it class was over.
"No homework because I trust you all know all of these things, since that was supposed to be all review."
"I like her already! No homework is always good on my list" exclaimed Ron as they left the class.
Harry kept up with them but if he would have had it his way he would have slowed down, he wasn't going to tell them though, after all the pain wasn't that bad when he ignored it. He concentrated on each step and kept up with them. But he didn't notice Hermione staring at him, "Harry are you okay?" apparently she noticed the look on his face, in deep concentration.
"What, oh yea, I'm fine."
"You sure mate, now that 'Mione mentions it you don't look that well."
"I'm fine really!"
With that Ron and Hermione just stopped questioning him, it was pointless to even try.
"I have to go to the hospital wing, Madame Pomfrey's orders" mumbled Harry.
Harry went on his way to the hospital wing, slower than he was walking with Ron and Hermione, he didn't want to arrive out of breath. On his way up the stairs his scar suddenly blew up with pain. Harry immediately slapped his hand onto it, but it burned his hand, so just as quickly he took his hand off. All he saw was bright white, he just wanted all of this to stop.
"Harry! Are you all right!?" said a voice he recognized.
"Yea-fine-no big deal" he squinted and from what he could see it looked like Neville. Then a wave of relief passed over him, the pain was suddenly gone, as quickly as it came.
"Are-Are you sure? You're all sweaty."
Neville was right, Harry looked down at himself and he was all sweaty, a cold sweat, as if he just had a nightmare.
"Yea, I was on my way to the hospital wing, erm I just had a bad headache that's all"
"I'm coming with you just to make sure you get there."
Harry didn't want to hear that, he wanted to change clothes, if Madame Pomfrey saw him all sweaty she would find something wrong with him to keep him there longer. Neville and Harry walked up to the hospital wing together and when they got there Harry ran into a familiar face.
"Profess-erm Lupin what are you doing here?"
"Oh, um nothing just had to check on someone in there, more importantly what are you doing here?"
"I need to go for Madame Pomfrey to check me to make sure I am healthy" mumbled Harry.
"Oh well, she's really busy right now, so um you look fine to me, just a little pale, did something happen?"
"Oh no, I just erm, haven't been out in the sun for a while I guess. I'll see you later!" said Harry as he hurried himself and Neville away, he didn't want to go to Madame Pomfrey anyway.
"I thought you had to see the nurse" said Neville as they headed to the Great Hall for dinner.
"I thought so too, but she was too busy, trust me that's a good thing for me." They sat and ate and Harry looked at the staff table, everyone was there except for Professor Snape. But he didn't think anything of it.
A/N: once again sorry for the wait, though I hope everyone had a great holiday, I know I did, I got Harry Potter Quidditch World Cup video game lol and its so fun haha. Well that's all and I'll hopefully get another chappie up soon! R&R please!
