Just Old Friends
Chapter 5: Recovery
Pain radiated from all over his body, he couldn't move. His mouth was dry and he felt so warm wherever he was. He forced one eye open and saw a white ceiling. The light was dim and after blinking a few times he could see.
Harry tried to move his muscles but it was impossible, he felt like he were paralysed but didn't want to think of that. He lay wherever he was for maybe minutes, it could have been hours and then he heard a voice.
"Morning Harry. It's just me come to check you're still alive."
He heard a gentle laugh as a hand moved to his wrist.
"I don't know why I talk to you like this its stupid it's not as if you can talk back to me."
He felt the woman's fingers brush his wrist and move his hair from his eyes. Green met brown and a piercing scream ran through the room. The girl jumped back and Harry tried to smile. He knew that face, knew that voice.
He finally managed to say in a very raspy voice.
"Water."
The girl composed herself and fetched him a glass helping him to drink it, he felt weak and tired and soon fell back to sleep.
When he awoke next it was light and the room was empty. He tried to sit up but couldn't. Within seconds though the Healer was back again smiling at him.
"Oh good you're awake again. Now let's sit you up is it."
He felt her hands pull the quilt down and she dragged him to a sitting position and then sat on the bed. She handed him more water and smiled.
"It's good to see those eyes again."
He chocked on the water at this and tried not to spit it at her. He knew time must have passed because here she was a Healer but she was smart, a fast learner, she was still a trainee it said so on her badge, so what a few months, it couldn't be more than September.
"What day is it?"
"Oh Harry forget about that it doesn't matter!"
"Day!"
"Oh alright it's a Monday if you must know. Monday June 28th the anniversary of the day you defeated Voldemort."
His eyes widened it'd been a year, it couldn't be but if she said it was there was no doubting her.
He fell back asleep soon after and this was the pattern for the next three months. He'd wake up speak to his friend and then sleep for a few days. It wasn't until the October that he was able to stay awake for long, he took potions daily and by the 13th October he was able to move.
That's when his life changed forever.
Hello everybody, and here is the first chapter of the story after the war, where the story is basically set. The first four chapters were just an introduction and well here's the real story about to begin
Annie: yes, no death to Draco. I like Draco, and don't worry I think I might start my H/HR one later maybe around Christmas after this one, and after my other story that I'm writing.
Valentines-hater: Yes well the story will begin, now I know this is short but he's just woken up next chapter is longer, and explains about what's happened.
SnoopyViz: I think it's been answered your question that is, but Harry isn't dead. The spell was a hard one and it knocked him into a coma, and now he's woken up but time has passed, and that's where the fun of the story starts
Jessie: You don't know how happy I am that you're reading this because you normally stick to the L/J one's so this means a lot. I have to agree this life is all about confidence, if you can just pretend that you are confident then you'll succeed.
I have to say that line just made me laugh. I thought about deleting it but it made me smile, I don't know it was a fun part to a bad post, but yeah so it's there. And you'll find out if its covered soon
More post next week
