Chapter Eight
Hermione, who was sitting on the edge of his bed, sobbing her heart out, awoke Harry. Seeing her cry like that alarmed Harry greatly and he shot up and grasped her arms. She jumped around and screamed in joy before nearly crushing him to death in a hug. Madame Promfrey, alarmed by Hermione's scream, burst into the room and saw that Harry was awake.
"What is it!? What's wrong!?" Harry asked Hermione frantically.
"I-I thought you were dead!" Hermione choked out.
"What?" Harry replied, confused, "Why would I be dead? I feel fine."
"But the Bludger-"
"What Bludger?" Harry asked Hermione, cutting her off, "It must have a been some nightmare that you had."
"It was no nightmare, Harry," Alexia explained as she stepped out of the shadows of the infirmary, "Do you not remember anything that happened two weeks ago?"
"What?! Two weeks!?" Harry choked out, "What are you talking about!?"
"Lightning!"
"Why do you keep calling me that every time you get angry!?"
"It's because I don't think Harry would suffice at that moment," Alexia flatly replied, "Hermione has sat with you for the whole time. Try to remember what happened that day."
Harry felt a burning pain in his head as memories of that day flashed through his mind. After they ended, he grabbed Hermione into a tight, rib-crushing hug. She hugged him back fiercely and wept openly onto his shoulder. Madame Promfrey shooed everyone out of the room so she could check Harry's health. When she saw that Harry would make a full recovery, Hermione was allowed back in into the infirmary and by Harry's side.
This makes us even, love," Harry suddenly stated, "I sat with you when you were in a coma and you sat with me while I unconscious."

When Harry returned to class, everyone stared at him and Harry absolutely hated it. Ron had been in the infirmary at the time of his release. Hermione would almost start crying every time he would smile at her. Harry was sick of being the center of attention and told his friends so.
Lucky for Harry the 'excitement' of his near death experience wore off and things returned to as normal. Well, as normal as can be in an ancient castle that was a school for Witches and Wizards. Months passed quickly and soon Harry found the year comming to an end. He was in the Great Hall when he recieved summonings from Dumbledore.
Dumbledore smiled as Harry came in his office. "I have some wonderful news for you."
"We have some wonderful news for you!" Sirius corrected before grabbing Harry up in a bear hug, "I'm free!"
"That's great Sirius," Harry choked out, changing colors from lack of oxygen, "But I can't breath."
Sirius released Harry, who began to return to his normal color.
"Oops. sorry."
"It's okay," Harry replied, "But please don't do that again."
Sirius smiled at Harry and the two talked for hours. Before Harry knew it, it was time for the end of the year feast. Sirus and Harry strolled down to the Great Hall arm and arm, laughing at something Sirius had just said.

Dumbledore stood up with a smile, looking at all the students, but secretly looking proudly at the red and gold banners. The decorations proclaimed the fact that Gryffindor was the winner of the annual House Cup once more.
"Another year has come to a close and I have seen many changes. Students have come and gone with the years, but I sense that the memories they make here will never leave them. Leaving home is hardest when some have nowhere to go, but remember the doors are always open to those whose hearts are as well," Dumblefore spoke talking to all and not just the leaving group of seventh-years, "I am proud to announce Gryffindor as the winning house for the House Cup. And without futher ado, bon appiete!"
With those two words, the food magically appeared. Ron immediately dug in as if the food would disappear that very instant. Harry glanced at Hermione every once and a while, checking up on Hermione. Finally he began to pile food on his plate, but he did not touch it. Instead he thought over what had happened since his accident.
He and Hermione had grown closer together. Ron had started chasing after Lavender and had been made to promise not to tell his family about Jordan being alive. Ginny and, to everyone's surprise and some's disgust, Draco were an item. To Alexia and Jordan's disappointment, the rest of the phoenixes had not yet been found.
So the five of them had spent most of their free time training with the phoenix powers. Harry, Hermione, and Ron were surprised to find that they were very powerful in their elemental phoenix's human form. Also with the new powers they were equally, if not more, as powerful as Dumbledore himself.
After everyone had eaten the remaining food and dirty dishes immediately disappeared, leaving clean dishes in their place. Harry and Hermione went to talk with Alexia and Jordan while Ron chased after Draco, trying to hex him into next week for kissing Ginny in front of him.

"So Harry," Alexia began, "Where are you staying now?"
"Well, Sirius is still on the run. I'll probably end up back at the Dursleys," Harry replied with a shiver.
Hermione gave Alexia a pointed look and mouthed 'He's abused.' Jordan caught it and a uncertain look came into his eyes and left quickly.
"Well, we could use a hand explaining us being alive and married to mom, dad, and the rest of the family," Jordan stated, "Care to give us a hand?"
Harry smiled gratefully. "Yes!-I mean...yes."
"And I will help as well," Hermione added.
Alexia shot a look that just said 'You aren't fooling anyone, you just want to be with Harry'
"Alright then," Jordan replied, "Let's tell Albus."
The four made their way up to Professor Dumbledore and told him their plans.
"Alright," Dumbledore stated his consent, "You may leave your things here and floo to the Burrow."
"This is gonna be fun," Jordan sighed.
"Yes, a lot of fun," Alexia agreed.
