Chapter 16 Bow to the new Harry
Harry's pov
He woke up in a warm, well lit place. His vision was blurry. He knew he was covered in blankets and that there were two people sitting against the banister where his head was and they were talking. Someone was holding his hand. He knew who that was though. His vision was starting to clear up and he figured it was Ron and Hermione sitting next to him. They were talking so he closed his eyes to listen to their conversation.
"Maybe, but why would he keep it from us?" asked Ron almost hurt.
"Maybe it said something he wasn't ready for and he needs to figure it all out for himself first." Hermione answered.
"But still, I mean we are his best friends, we want to help him out." Ron said. Harry decided to stop the charade,
"She's right Ron, I'm sorry guys I just wasn't ready."
"Harry, don't worry about it, I'm just glad you're alive." Hermione said.
"Harry what were you thinking coming after me? You're the best! A little stupid, but the best," Ron said jokingly.
"Im sorry I didn't tell you guys sooner. But I think I'm ready to talk about it now."
Ron looked hesitant, "Sorry Harry if you don't want to tell us it's understandable."
"No I want you guys to know." And with that he continued to tell them everything that happened at the Ministry when they weren't with him, then in Dumbledore's office. While he did it he couldn't look at them so he twisted the bed sheets in his hands. When he finished Ron put his hand on Harry's shoulder and let his head droop, shaking it back and forth. Hermione placed her hand on top of his and lay her face down on his shoulder. It almost looked like they were bowing their heads to him.
Rons pov
Ron was scared for Harry. As great of a person and as much as Harry had done he just couldn't see him coming out of a battle with Voldemort alive. He also felt bad about how he'd been treating Harry lately. All he wanted to think about was Hermione, and that wasn't right. Harry didn't like her like that. And Hermione just wanted to be friends with the both of them. He and Hermione stayed on the bed with Harry for a long time, until his mom came up the stairs and told them to come down for dinner.
Harry's pov
When he stood from the bed his head exploded in pain. He felt dizzy and immediately dropped to the floor moaning. Hermione and Ron rushed to pull him up onto the bed. But he wasn't paying attention. All he could think bout was the achy pain all over his body and the sharp ones in his scar. Ron told him he'd bring him up something to eat in a few minutes after he ate. Hermione said for him to bring her something too cause she didn't want to leave Harry alone. When Ron left he could feel Hermione lay on the bed next to him and hug him.
"Oh Harry, I love you, you'll be okay. Please be okay." She whispered as she kissed his cheek.
Harry felt himself fall asleep with his arms around her. He was in pain but he felt happy and safe.
