Love Blossoms
Ch 6 Death and Deception
Harry ran upstairs to get as much sleep as possible before class. He ran up the stairs to the seventh floor where he took a right then a left, and found himself in front of the portrait of the fat lady.
"Honey Syrup Weasel," said Harry, with his head to the ground. Harry walked through the portrait hole and into the common room which was completely empty becuse everyone was asleep. Harry decided that would be the perfect place to sit and think about what has happened tonight. He would soon have to tell Ron that one of their best friends was now in the hospital wing with a wound her back and that he saw his sister. For Harry this was just as emotional as Sirius's death.
Harry sat at the biggest and most comfortable chair in front of the flames of the fireplace. Harry heard walking behind him and turned to see who the early arriver was.
Long lanky Ron Weasley walked down the stairs to see Harry sitting in front of the fire.
"Hey buddy. You back already," said Ron in his cheery old mood. "How's Herms doing?"
"Not to well," said Harry looking away from Ron because he knew that Ron had feelings for Hermione, too.
"What do you mean," said Ron very perplexed by what he had said.
"She was stabbed in the back," said Harry breaking into tears.
"Who would do this," asked Ron, mesmerized by the fact that someone would do this to Hermione.
"It was that guy who killed Ginny," said Harry, mortified of what he said.
"They kill my sister and now he is attempted to kill my girlfriend…," said Ron, trying to hold back what he just said. Harry looked at him in disbelief because in their sixth year, they had made a pact to not to date friends.
"Harry it is not what it seems," said Ron.
"Not what is seems," said Harry ready to blow his top and let out all of his lava. "Damn well. It seems to me you broke our pact! You know we both like her and we were going to let are hormones go somewhere else."
Harry turned away from his former best friend.
"Harry, it was the heat of the moment," said Ron, trying to explain his point of view.
"Want to hear heat of the moment, well what about standing there as someone just stabbed someone you love and letting them walk away," said Harry getting into Ron's face, then pushing him away
"Harry, just listen! I am so sorry," said Ron trying to calm Harry down. "Harry you are my best friend. I would never hurt you."
Harry pushed Ron out of his way and headed toward the dormitory. Harry climbed up the stairs and turned left to his dormitory. Harry went to his four poster bed and pulled down the covers and started to nap.
Neville shook Harry at quarter to seven.
"Harry it is time breakfast, hurry up and put your robes on," said Neville then turning around and headed out the door.
Harry leaned up out of bed and made a giant yawn. Harry stood up and changed into his robes and headed down to the great hall where he went and sat with Creevys, even though they had a strange fascination with him.
"So Harry I heard about Hermione," Said Colin snapping a picture while Harry was blinking.
"Wow! Word does travel fast around here," said Harry, scooting away from the two brothers so they would not take more pictures.
As soon as Harry moved, a person he did not want to see sat right next to him.
"Harry listen to me plea….," said Ron but before he could finish, Harry slid down to the Creevys again.
"How about some more pictures boys," said Harry, trying to ignore Ron.
"Harry please! I'll break up with her if that's what it takes," said Ron, pleading to Harry.
"I'm going to see Hermione. Want to go," said Harry turning to Ron and smiling, "so you can be with your girlfriend."
"Thank you Harry," said Ron grabbing Harry and pulled him into a hug. Harry felt better now that he helped his best friend be happy.
They left the Great Hall and headed up to the Hospital Wing when they saw that there was a old man with a beard of grey hair and half moon glasses, lying on the floor, grabbing his arm.
"I can't feel my arm," Said Albus Dumbledore. Harry, coming from a muggle family and having gone to muggle school, knew that their headmaster was having a Heart Attack.
"Ron go and get Madam Pomfrey and bring her here fast," said Harry turning Albus over on his back. Harry took off his cloak and put under Albus's head.
Ron ran all the way to the Hospital Wing. He burst through the doors, ran past Hermione, and went to Madam Pomfrey's office.
"Madam Pomfrey, Madam Pomfrey," said Ron beating on the door until madam Pomfrey emerged through the door.
"Child, if this is about Miss Granger it can wait. I am trying to find the spell to relieve her so you can come back later," said Madam Pomfrey, as she turned around to go back into her office.
"No, the Headmaster is hurt," said Ron trying to sum up to the fact.
"What," said Madam Pomfrey turning and started to pace forward as fast as possible.
"Albus. Hold in there," said Harry, starting to shed tears.
"Its hard at my age Harry remember, I am here for you," said Albus as his face winced from the pain.
"I need you," said Harry wiping tears from his face, "do not pull a Sirius on me Dumbledore. Please don't."
"Harry you are the boy who lived. You will be okay," said Dumbledore, as his heartbeat slowly stopped and his breath diminished until it was over.
"No Albus, I hate you! Why would you do this to me," said Harry getting up and screaming.
Ron ran up to Harry and pulled him away from Dumbledore and gave Harry a hug. Harry felt as if all hope was lost.
Harry pushed Ron away and headed to the Gryffindor Tower where he would weep in sorrow until he had no more water in his system.
