Behind These Hazel Eyes

"Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes"

Harry sat up as he heard his other roommates stirring. He had woken up halfway through the night from the normal nightmares about Cedric and Sirius.

As he sat up though, everything turned black for a second but turned back to normal in the same amount of time. He was feeling much worse today, if that was even possible. He let out more harsh coughs and massaged his throat. He slowly stood up and waited until the room stopped spinning.

Harry got dressed and when he looked over he saw that Ron was still asleep in bed. Smirking, Harry got a cup and filled it up with cold water from the bathroom. He then said a charm to make it ice cold. Ron jumped up and yelled at the top of lungs as the ice water came pouring down on him.

"HARRY YOU PRAT! WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU… YOU'RE GONNA WISH THAT YOU-KNOW-WHO GOT TO YOU FIRST!"

"Good morning to you too, Ron. Is that a threat?" Harry said laughing.

Ron just glared back at him and got dressed. They headed down to the common room where they met up with Ginny and Hermione. Hermione looked at Ron and said, "Ron, why are you shivering?" Ron just glared at Harry while Ginny snickered as she realized what Harry had done. "Boys…" Hermione sighed and she cast a warming charm on Ron. "Thanks 'Mione," he said and gave her a kiss.

Ginny laughed at the look of revulsion on Harry's face and said, "Well Harry, I'm offended. Our company must not be good enough for the two of them."

Harry sighed and placed his hands over his heart and mocking said, "Well I can see we're not wanted here. I guess they want us in the kitchen with pancakes, waffles, sausage, bacon, muffins, cinnamon rolls, pastries, and all that good stuff."

"Mmm… sounds good to me. I think that's where I want to be too." Hermione and Ron just shot glares at them.

Harry and Ginny started walking down to the kitchens when they heard Ron say, "Pancakes, Bacon, Cinnamon Rolls! Hey wait up you two!"

They were all down eating in the kitchen when all a sudden Harry got up and ran. Ron and Hermione started to go after him, but Ginny motioned for them to sit down and got up and ran after him. Ron and Hermione really cared about Harry, but Ginny was what Harry needed right now, and they understood that.

Ginny found Harry in the bathroom puking his guts out. She rubbed his back comfortingly for what seemed like forever until he stopped. He wearily leaned back against the stall door. Ginny's heart went out to him. He looked so exhausted and weary, but he still looked so cute!

Finally, Harry shakily stood up and would have fallen back down if Ginny hadn't caught him. After a few steps, Harry started walking on his own. He washed off his face in the sink.

"Please don't tell Ron or Hermione." He said croakily. Ginny nodded, but she didn't understand why.

"Harry, you really need to go see Madam Pomfrey." Harry shook his head. "It's probably just the flu or something, it'll go away." Ginny looked at him suspiciously.

"Look, I promise if I'm still this way tonight to go to the Hospital Wing, ok?"

"Promise?" Harry knew he couldn't lie to the desperate brown eyes that were begging him. "I promise."

Ginny and Harry met up with Ron and Hermione in the Great Hall.

"Sorry bout that, I had just remembered that I forgot to do one of the DADA summer assignments." Harry lied.

Ron groaned as he realized that he had forgotten to do it. Professor McGonagall came around to their table and handed out timetables. The Trio had the same classes together.

"Ok," Hermione said her bossy tone, "Today we have Herbology first, then DADA, then Care of Magical Creatures, and Potions."

Ginny saw her schedule and groaned and hit her head on the table. "Double Potions very first thing in the morning."

Ron and Harry winced in sympathy.

Just then Dumbledore stood to make an announcement. "I forgot to make one very important announcement last night. Our new DADA professor is one who has decided to come back. Remus Lupin."

"Moony!" Harry exclaimed. The Gryffindor table clapped and cheered loudly.

The Trio parted with Ginny and started towards Herbology. Harry was feeling worse by the minute. When they finally made it to the Greenhouses, he collapsed on one of the benches.

By the time they reached Potions, the very last class of the day, Harry wasn't sure if he was going to make it until that night.

Professor Snape banged open the door and sighed as he realized who it was, 6th year Gryffindors and Slytherins.

He took one look at Potter and could immediately see that Potter was worse than last night. He was shivering and looked feverish and pale, and he was still coughing, but it seemed worse. He saw Granger and Weasley sneaking looks at Potter also.

Snape started talking about the potion they were going to make that day and told them to split up into partners to start making the potion.

Hermione partnered up with Harry while Ron went with Neville. They both knew that Harry was sick and wouldn't be able to do anything, so they both agreed Hermione should go with him.

They started making the potion and Harry grabbed a vial to put it in, but dropped it because his hands were so shaky.

"Harry, here just let me make it. It's obvious you're sick so just make it until the end of class."

"Mmmk, just let me get the ingredients from the cupboard, ok?" Hermione nodded. She worriedly watched him.

Harry knew as soon as he got up that this was a bad idea. But he had to do something to help Hermione. Halfway up there, Harry started coughing and he knew he wouldn't be able to make it. He felt his legs give it and everything was spinning. He just wanted the pain to stop.

Hermione and Ron were watching Harry walk up to the cupboard when they heard him coughing and then they saw him collapse on the floor. Professor Snape was also watching Potter, and was shocked when he saw Potter fall to the floor. He sent a glare to Granger and Weasley for them not to get up. When he got to Potter, he was shivering and his face grimaced with pain.

He swore under his breath and picked Potter up and started running towards the Hospital Wing. He was surprised at how light Potter was. He weighed nothing in the man's arms, and he could feel his ribs underneath his robes.

He kicked the Hospital Wing doors open and laid Potter on a bed.

"Severus, what is the meaning of this?" Madam Pomfrey yelled as she came out from her office, but stopped when she saw the sight of a very sick Harry Potter.

"He collapsed in class. He was coughing harsh, painful coughs and shivering right before he fell."

"Ok, I need you to fetch a Fever-Reducing Potion, Dreamless Sleep Potion, Cough Potion, Strengthening Solution, and something to help with the pain."

Just then Ron and Hermione burst through the doors. Snape yelled, "Weasley, go get Dumbledore, the password is Cockroach Clusters. Granger, get Lupin. NOW!"

Dumbledore and Lupin burst through the Hopsital Wing doors just as Madam Pomfrey was injecting all the potions except for Dreamless Sleep into Harry.

"What's going on?" Lupin asked immediately, panicked. "Is Harry ok? Is he going to live?"

Dumbledore went over to Harry and placed his hands on his chest and said some weird spell and warm light radiated. He stepped away.

"That will help him breath easier." He explained. They couldn't do anything else; they could only wait until Harry woke up.

The doors opened again and Ron, Hermione, and Ginny came through. Ginny said, "This morning during breakfast, Harry ran out and I followed him. He was in the bathroom throwing up for a long time."

"But I thought he said that he was finishing some homework?" Ron said.

"He told me not to tell you guys."

"Is he going to be alright?" Ginny asked in a shaky voice.

"I don't know," Madam Pomfrey said.

They all sat in silence hoping their raven-haired friend would wake up soon. Snape left eventually.

After a while, Dumbledore said, "It's getting late and classes are tomorrow."

"Can we please stay here, Professor?" Dumbledore looked at the group that was pleading to stay.

He transfigured one of the chairs into a big couch.

"Good evening, and remember all hope is not lost," Dumbledore said and left the room.

Hermione, Ron, and Ginny situated themselves on the couch. Ginny was on one side of the couch by herself while Ron was lying on the other end with Hermione's head on his chest and his arms wrapped around her.

They slowly fell asleep amidst their worries about Harry.
