Ron sat down next to Harry and ran his fingers through his hair. The warm sunlight flooded the medical wing and Harry started to regain consciousness. He waved his hands around looking for his glasses and Ron slowly put it on Harry's face avoiding all contact with the bandages wrapped around his face. Harry blinked a couple times and could see Ron's face slowly come into shape. "Ron?" Harry muttered. "Harry!" Ron shouted and pulled Harry into a tight hug, Ron burst into tears and Harry started to cry as well, they both cried in the warm embrace that Ron feared he would never feel again. From the other side of the room came the voice of no other then Professor Snape himself, "Spare me Potter and Weasley and go get a room." He cried pinching the bridge between his crooked nose. Ron blushed until he was as red as his hair but Harry remained still, he stared at the Potions master and unknowingly blurted out, "Have you been crying, sir?" Ron started from Harry to Snape fearing for his friend's life when he had just awoken barely a minute ago and Harry clapped his hands to his mouth and looked down trembling. Snape flushed until he looked like a drunk Professor Slughorn, "You should mind your own business, Mr. Potter!" and Snape closed the curtains with a snap. They heard Professor Snape shuffle in his bed until he remained still and silent then Madame Pomfrey barged into the room. "I told you to not pick a fight with Mr. Weasley, Severus- Harry, dear, how are you feeling! Are you dizzy? Nauseous?" She decided to not ask any questions about his suicide attempt just yet not wishing to overwhelm him when he just woke up. She came over and cast a Diagnosis spell on Harry, "Everything seems to be in order." While Madame Pomfrey cast a couple more diagnoses on him, Ron and Harry could hear Snape muttering, "I did not pick a fight with the Weasley boy and how come you didn't check on me, smh." Ron tried not to laugh and ended up coughing and choking until Madame Pomfrey gave him a couple pats on the back. "Bloody hell, was he sulking?" Ron whispered in Harry's ear once Madame Pomfrey went over to check on Snape and it was Harry turn to stifle a laugh and he failed to do so and started hacking loudly. Madame Pomfrey came over and started patting Harry on the back and giving him a glass of water. She turned around to face Ron. "Mr. Weasley will be staying for an additional day in the Medical wing since classes were canceled today." Ron smiled brightly and looked over at Harry who smiled back. "Can Harry and I go-" but she cut him before he could finish, "No, Mr. Weasley. I have told you last time and I will remind you again that you are only allowed in the Library, Great hall, dorms, and a addition, the Courtyard but under no circumstances would Mr. Potter be allowed off his bed until he is fully healed, even a simple accident such as tripping could be grave danger to Harry in his condition." "But what if the whole school is on fire, Madame Pomfrey?" Ron laughed. Madame Pomfrey sighed and smiled, "Well I highly doubt that will happens but, yes, he is allowed off his bed." Ron smiled mischievously, "Madame Pomfrey I'll be in the Gryffindor common room if you need me! See ya later, Harry!" Madame Pomfrey scoffed and left the Medical wing. Ron ran up to the Gryffindor common room and was out of breath by the time he reached it, gasping between each word, he found the Weasley twins and asked, "Fred George my dear lovely brothers…" Fred rolled his eyes, "What do you want, Ron?" "…is it possible for you to put the school on fire?" Fred was wide eyed, "Ron we may be pranksters but we are certainly not arsonists." George's voice replied behind him. "But I believe you can burn the school down without any help!" Fred laughed. Ron rolled his eyes, laughed, and walked back to the Medical wing.
