(Yawn…) SECOND TO LAST CHAPTER GUYS! Thank you to everyone who supported me all the way and reviewed! I am very thankful. I'd list everyone…but that would take a while…eh… (Sweat drop)
Okay, this chapter is going back to the movie-based scene. Sorry if I'm confusing everyone!
Chapter 20: Sorrows of Yesterday (Hehehe… Just like one of my new stories! )
Harry's POV… Hospital Wing…
Harry blinked his eyes wearily, turning over in a bed. He tried to run the sleepiness out of his eyes and sat up, blindly feeling around for his glasses. Once he found them, he slid them on clumsily.
Harry gasped.
Shining gifts and treats were laid out on a table in front of him.
"Good afternoon, Harry" footsteps signaled somebody entering the room. Dumbledore walked in, "Oh…! Tokens from your admirers?" He asked cheerfully.
"Admirers?"
Dumbledore either didn't hear the question or chose not to answer it, "Whatever happened in the dungeons between Professor Higurashi, you, and Professor Quirrel is a secret. So naturally…the whole school knows"
Harry silently agreed. Whatever always seemed to be a secret came out as gossip the next day. He chuckled quietly at that prospect.
"So… it seems that your friend Ronald has saved you the trouble of opening these chocolate frogs. Ahh…! My mistake. Ronald and Yusuke…"
That reminded Harry of them, "Ron was here…? Yusuke too…? What about Hermionie! And Professor Higurashi and Minamino?" He blurted out all at once, staring at the headmaster, eagerly awaiting an answer.
"They're all fine…Just fine" Dumbledore nearly interrupted him.
Harry gave a small smile and then suddenly perked up at another thought, "The stone!"
Dumbledore sighed, "The stone is in Professor Higurashi's hands"
"But…"
Somebody went around the corner and scowled, "Sorry about that…Madam Pomfrey wouldn't let me out of the bed unless I took a wheelchair with me…Do I honestly need a wheelchair to heal some scratches and bruises! And these jellybeans!" Kagome cried out, "Why did they have to put all these gifts on the wheelchair and drop them…"
Albus chuckled in amusement.
Harry stared in shock. Hey, it wasn't everyday that you got to see your professor rambling away like a kid your age…
"…And I have to protect another stone too!" Kagome gave an exasperated sigh, "Ya think that two would be enough already!" Kagome had been fumbling with now three jewels around her neck. A rose pink one, a navy blue one, and now an orb of amber.
"As I said, the stone is in Professor Higurashi's hands…"
"Hello Albus…Harry! How are you doing?"
"Pretty fine…" Harry replied.
Kagome gasped as two arms wrapped around her neck, "Kurama!" She beamed.
"Kagome…how are you doing?"
"-GET BACK HERE THIS INSTANT! YOU'RE NOT FULLY HEALED YET! YOU SHOULDN'T BE OUT OF BED!" A very red and tired Madam Pomfrey rushed around the corner, slightly lifting her dragging dress of the ground to go faster.
Apparently, there was probably nobody else in the hospital wing, or else they wouldn't be running around like mad chicken, making all that racket.
(Mad chickens, lol! XD)
A guy in black robes whizzed by.
"Yusuke?" Kurama raised an eyebrow.
Madam Pomfrey stopped by him, "You really shouldn't be out of bed, you two"
Kurama replied, "Well miss, I'd like to visit somebody next door right now…consider me as a visitor, please?"
The nurse sighed.
"Well, you told me that I could go out of I took a wheel…chair…" Kagome slowed down. Madam Pomfrey had already raced off again.
Somebody grumbled, chasing after the two, "Yusuke!" Sango limped after him.
"Well…" Kagome muttered. There was finally silence.
Dumbledore decided to continue, "Harry…do you wonder why Professor Quirrel couldn't bear to have you touch him?"
Harry shook his head in interest.
"It was because your mother loved you. And that kind of act leaves a mark…Not like the one on your forehead…one inside" He pointed gently to his heart.
Dumbledore turned around a lightened up at the sight of jelly beans, "Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans" he gently exclaimed, reaching his hand over to the tall, cardboard box, "I came across a vomit flavored one in my youth. Most unfortunate, really. So since then, I haven't taken a liking to them anymore" he stared into the box for a minute, "I think I should just try one…" Albus hesitantly sifted through and pinched one on the top.
Kagome looked on in mild disgust and reached into her own box for a first try, offering one to Kurama, who politely took one.
"Alas!" he nodded his head, looking like he was thinking deeply, "Earwax!"
((Love that quote... TT lol))
Kagome scrunched up her face in interest and swallowed, "Like pizza…weird, but good…"
Kurama twitched, "What a most unique flavor of…chicken"
Harry smiled broadly, inside he was thinking, 'I'm picking through those beans before I'm ever going to eat another one'
"-MR.YUSUKE URAMESHI!" Madam Pomfrey cut in, running round the corner once again. Her voice continued to echo down the hall. Yes, Yusuke could make even the most patient, calm people snap. That is, all, except Kurama. He could only get a twitch and an irritated face out of him.
Dumbledore left with a calm look on his face, despite just recently eating 'earwax', walking out the entrance door of the hospital wing.
Kagome's POV…
There was silence.
"You know…" Kagome broke the silence. Kurama and Harry glanced up at her, "Haven't you wondered how he knows what earwax tastes like…?" Kagome looked disgusted for a moment, "On second thought…maybe I'd rather not want to know…"
They laughed at her.
"We better start going now. The ceremony will be tonight, I believe" Kurama sighed.
"YUSUKE! STOP IT!" Sango panted, stopping right beside Kagome, "Damn guy" she growled.
Kagome laughed. Their antics…
Yusuke rushed past their post and ducked right behind Sango, clutching her shoulders, "Hide me" he stated.
Sango rolled her eyes, but stayed still.
"Um… Madam Pomfrey…" Kagome sighed as the lady raced by, "Yusuke is fully healed by now. You should've known by the way he was running. I believe he could be let off now"
The nurse twitched and sagged in slight defeat, "Oh, alright, alright. But don't come complaining to me when the wound opens up again!"
Yusuke considerably brightened and stepped out nervously from behind Sango, trying to regain his dignity, "Hmph!" he snorted, "I ain't gonna let some old hag scare me!"
Madam Pomfrey turned beet red and stomped away, growling about despicable students.
Harry smiled.
Just then, Hermionie and Ron walked in.
"Alright, Ron?" Harry asked.
"Aright" Ron smiled, "You?"
"Alright, how about you Hermionie?"
"…Never better…" She replied, grinning.
Everything was turning out perfectly. Yeah, sure, Kagome had to protect 3 jewels now, but she had plenty of friends, even though some were students.
"We really should start getting ready for tonight" Sango hinted.
The rest of the group agreed, walking off into different directions so they could prepare. Yusuke slung an arm around Sango's shoulders; Kurama gave Kagome a chaste kiss and walked away to his bedroom. Harry, Ron, and Hermionie started chattering excitedly about the feast.
Kagome closed her eyes and faced the window, the sun shining brightly above her. And they could easily put off their thoughts about the Feudal Era. Keep the good memories, and dispose of the unwanted ones.
For, they were her sorrows of yesterday.
And that's this chapter! Gomen nasai if I said that this chapter would be the last, but I really wanted to update and didn't feel like making this chapter any longer.
Read and review onegai!
Sayonara,
