Days past and Harry still didn't wake up. He laid there without a shirt, just a bandage wrapped around the red wound.
Hermione found out that the stuff that Madame Pomfrey had given him healed the wounded areas inside before recovering the skin. That was a very good thing because if he bled anymore…he wouldn't be there. Hermione visited him every single free second she got. She would talk to him. Tell him about her day. She didn't know if he could hear her or not, but it helped her cope with his condition.
"So I, I wrote 3 pages more then what we were supposed to write on that essay. I know, you would say (she imitated Harry's voice.) Why did do you do that Hermione?" Hermione was rolling her eyes, acting like Harry if he heard what she said.
"You're right, I would say that."
Hermione swiftly stopped and looked at Harry. His eyes were open watching her. She was in shock. Her eyes were wide and her mouth was hanging open and Harry just laid there with a small smile on his face.
"Oh my God" She whispered to herself.
She suddenly lunged at him. Wrapping her arms around him and hugging him tight.
Harry gently placed his arms around her.
"Oh Harry" She breathed.
"I thought I lost you." Her closed eyes released silent tears down her cheeks.
"I'm so glad you're awake and okay, I was so worried." She said still hugging him.
Harry kindly took Hermione's hands and released him from her grasp. He held her arms.
"Hermione, are YOU okay? All I remember is running towards that girl and well, this. Are you okay?" Harry asked worriedly.
Hermione sniffled and nodded.
"Yes Harry, I'm fine. I was so worried about you. Angel Dark (Hermione said her name in disgust) stabbed you in the stomach with a dagger. You were bleeding so fast. (Hermione tried to hold back the tears) When I saw it, I pulled it out and then when we came back to reality you were unconscious. I didn't know what to do. I used the levitation spell and brought you to the hospital wing. But Harry, that was 5 days ago." Harry's eyes widened.
"It's been that long?" Harry said and he hastily sat up.
Hermione nodded and put a hand to his chest pushing him back down.
"You shouldn't sit up Harry." She said. When Harry was lying back down she realized her hand was still on his bare chest. She jerked it off and put her hands between her knees and started crying. She put her head down and closed her eyes.
Harry felt so bad for worrying her so much. He knew it wasn't his fault for being out cold but he still didn't like seeing her unhappy. She put her head up and wiped the salty tears out from under her eyes.
When she looked back at him, he held out his arms. Calling her into a hug.
"Hermione, come 'ere" Harry said quietly with a sympathetic expression.
She leaned in and embraced him…until Madame Pomfrey broke them apart.
"Harry! You're awake! You must take some of this medicine Very important stuff. Here."
She forced some medicine into his mouth. He made the weirdest expression which made Hermione laugh a little. The first time she has in days.
He tried to swallow.
"Um, this is….this is nasty." He said with a smile, looking over at Hermione. She smiled back.
A few minutes later, Madame Pomfrey unwrapped the bandage over Harry's gash.
She took off the last piece, it was just a bruise now, Harry could leave the wing once he got one more medicine.
It was dinner time when Harry left. Hermione was linked to his arm. They went and got him clothes and then walked into the dining hall and found that everyone had no idea what happened. Everyone was talking, everyone was normal. Eating and having a good time. They saw Ron chowing down on some buffalo wings and went to sit down with him.
"Hey Ron" Harry said after they sat down.
"Hey Harry what's up? I haven't seen you around for so long. Where ya been?" He said.
Harry looked at Hermione.
"Uh, I've just been extremely busy, you know how it is." He answered.
"Well, you guys came a little late. I'm done eating actually. I have to get a head start on that horrid essay Snape gave us." He said.
"Oh, right. See you later Ron." Harry said as he got up and left. He turned to Hermione.
"Did he actually not know?" Harry said laughing. Harry grabbed a wing and Hermione took some fish.
Half way through, Hermione went silent and didn't talk much.
"Hermione? You okay?" Harry asked her.
"Yea, Yea I'm fine. Just thinking is all." She said in a sad tone.
Harry looked at her with a questioning look.
"Um, I'm pretty full Harry. I'm going to go to the common room. Maybe go to bed. I'll see you in the morning if not in the common room." She said. She never looked at him once as she spoke. She just got up and left him.
