A few minutes after Remus left, the door opened again, and the nurse came in. She stuck a thermometer in his mouth and left the room. Why does everyone keep running away! Harry thought. The nurse came back and pulled out the thermometer. "That's what I thought. They're making you stay in this filthy place when you're already ill enough." She began examining his scratches. "When was the last time they fed you?"

Harry thought for a minute. "They haven't."

"They haven't! I can't believe this!" She turned and ran out of the room. She came back a few minutes later, looking very angry. "I can't believe they're treating you like this. No wonder you aren't getting any better. They're so concerned that no one attacks you that they've left you to waste away in here."

"Umm... I was wondering... am I sick or something? Cause everyone keeps running away from me and..."

"No it's not that. Well you are sick, apparently, anyone would be after living in here, but that's not the reason." Harry heard a knock at the door. "Oh now what?" The nurse got up and went to the door. The guards handed her something. "More letters." she said, putting them with the others. "Well aren't you going to open those?" Harry sat up and looked at the letters. "You read those and I'll go see if they have anything edible in this place." she said. Harry made sure that she was gone before he reached for the letters. There were five of them all together, counting the ones that had just came. Harry opened the first one. It was from Mrs. Weasley:

'Harry, I hope you're all right. We will come get you out of there as soon as we can.'

The next two were from Ron and Hermione, also wanting to know how he was. The fourth was from Hermione:

'Harry I'm so sorry I had to leave! They caught me and made me go home! Now I'm at Ron's. I hope you're doing all right. You should come to the burrow when you're feeling better. It's really boring without you. Talk to you soon. Hermione.'

Harry set those four on the table. He didn't recognize the return address on the fifth letter. He opened it and saw that it was from Cho. All it said was 'when can I see you again?'. Just then the nurse came back with what looked like food. "Here try to eat this. It isn't the best, but it's all they have around here." Harry tried some of it. The food, if that's what it was, tasted worse than Dudley's diet food. He set the plate on the table. "That's what I thought." said the nurse. "I don't blame you."
"Is there anything to write with? I want to write back."

"Yes there is. Hold on." She left the room, again, and came back with a notebook, a quill, and some ink.

"Thanks." Harry began writing back to Cho. He explained everything that had happened, and told her that he would let her know when they could be together again. Then he set the notebook down and waited for it to dry. "When do you think they'll let me leave?" he asked the nurse.

"Soon. They don't want you to be here for too long. I think they're having trouble contacting whoever you were supposed to go with." Harry picked up the notebook, tore out Cho's letter, and began writing a letter to the Weasleys, begging them to come get him.

That night, Harry was lying in his bed, staring at the green ceiling, when he heard voices outside of his room. They were arguing about something. Harry ignored them and closed his eyes. He needed to sleep. Suddenly, the door was flung open, and Mrs. Weasley came running in. "We're taking him with us. You cannot make him stay in this filthy place." She looked down and noticed that he was looking at her. "Oh hello Harry. Hope I didn't wake you."

"No I was already awake." Remus and a few others came into the room.

"Molly, you can't take him out there. Not yet. We need to make sure it's safe before..."

"Remus, it's been safe! You're the one that's making it un-safe. Now I'm taking him with me." She pointed her wand at Harry, and floated him to the door. "Boys!" she called. Fred and George came running down the hall. "Get his trunk." She began walking toward the exit, floating Harry in front of her. There was a car waiting outside. Mrs. Weasley took him to the car, and set him gently in the back seat. Then she turned and told Fred and George to hurry up. Harry saw the nurse come running out.
"Here you forgot this." she handed him the notebook and quill. She winked at him, walked away from the car, and apparated. Mrs. Weasley, Fred, and George pilled into the car. Mrs. Weasley was driving, Fred was in the front seat, and George was in the back seat with Harry.

"Mum, you made us proud in there." said Fred

"Yeah, all those years you told us not to get into anything. And now you want us to help you." George added

"Do you know how to drive one of these?" Fred asked.

"Oh come on it can't be that hard. I got us here, didn't I?" She turned the car on, backed up, and started driving away. Harry leaned back and closed his eyes. Eventually he fell asleep.
