CHAPTER - 11
Hermione approached Harry slowly and bent over him. His eyes were closed and he wasn't moving. She was scared at first but then she concentrated her eyes on his chest. It was moving ! He was breathing ! He was alive ! Hermione sighed with relief. Then she took his head in her arms and pressed it to her chest. She ran her fingers through his messy hair and touched his forehead gently. Tears were running down her chicks but this time it was happy tears. She closed her eyes and smiled. Now it's over. No more doubts, pain and misery....It's all gone. From now on everything will be different.
Meanwhile Harry was trying to open his eyes but he didn't succeed. Hermione was crying and holding Harry's head in her arms and Reamus Lupin was sitting on the same place with a huge smile on his face. He decided not to interrupt them and give them some time. It was such a nice scene.... Lupin felt a few tears escaped from his eyes. He felt as if a huge mountain fell off his shoulders. He felt himself calm and extremely happy for the first time in these past few days. He still couldn't believe that everything worked out and Harry was alive. " God, I can imagine the faces of professors when they'll see that Harry is alive ! " - he thought.
The rain amplified and turned into a downpour. In a few minutes clothes and hair were absolutely wet. Small pools of water appeared on the field and they were becoming bigger with each minute. The storm was passing by. The thunder can be heard from far far away. Air was filled with moisture, temperature lowered but still it wasn't cold. 'Mione was still sitting on a cold wet ground holding Harry and crying. Her tears were mixing up with rain drops and falling down. Harry finally opened his eyes, waited for some minutes the vision to become clear and asked worriedly :
- Hermione ? What happened ? Why are you crying ? - his voice was weak and shaky. Hermione opened her eyes and looked at Harry's face not believing that he said something to her. Then she suddenly started to kiss his forehead, his chicks and lips... She was so happy that she couldn't keep her feelings inside of her any longer.
- 'Mione...what happened ? What's all this about ?
- It's a long story and I missed you too much to waste my time on telling you this.
- I can't understand why...no, when did you manage to miss me ? I was here all the time ! I didn't go anywhere !
- No... You did. But let's just stop talking about this.
Harry nodded and hugged Hermione too. It was surely better than asking questions about anything. It seemed that they can sit there till the end of the world holding each other. And it doesn't matter that they were all wet, it doesn't matter that they could catch cold... they were together...at last.
- I didn't mean to interrupt you but...we need to get back to Hogwarts. Harry needs medical help, and food, and... everybody must see this miracle !!! Hermione, you did almost impossible thing ! Can you believe it ? Can you imagine the looks on professors faces when they'll see Harry ?!!!
- You're right, professor. We need to get him to the infirmery. And quickly.
- Yeah. Harry, I'm so glad you're back.
- Back ? Back from where ?
- You'll understand soon. We'll tell you later. Emm...can you walk ?
- I guess so...
Harry stood up, swayed but he couldn't take even one step forward. He fell to the ground feeling that there is no strengths in his body for even stand on his legs.
- I can carry him to Hogwarts. - Lupin suggested.
- No, professor. We'll help him to walk to the castle by himself. You were carrying his corpse for quite enough. He's alive after all.
- You're right.
- Corpse ?! Alive ?! What do you mean alive ?! I was always alive ! Or not ?
- I said I'll tell you what had happened later.
Lupin smiled. Together he and Hermione took Harry by his arms and headed back to the Hogwarts. It was a bit hard to walk through the field because Harry was heavy and the grass under their feet was very slippy. Once or twice they almost fell to the ground but luckily only almost. While they were walking back to the castle the rain almost stopped and the storm was far far away. The thunder was barely heard. Dark clouds were moving to the east. It was as if the weather was glad that everything worked out. Slowly they reached Hogwarts castle. There were some students who heading to the Great Hall but once they saw Harry, slowly walking along the corridor with Reamus and Hermione holding him by his arms they started to jump aside, or running away, or just slipping down on the floor near the stone wall. As for Hermione she was smiling and crying at the same time. She was so happy that it seemed that she's gonna blow from her happiness. Lupin was pleased also but this time he wasn't crying. He decided to himself that he was crying for quite enough. Reamus was crying because of Harry's death but now he's alive and he won't cry anymore. It was weird but they haven't seen any of the professors on their way to the infirmery. It was weird indeed. Usually during this time you could see professors everywhere you go. But now... They weren't walking along the corridors and they weren't sitting in the Great Hall. They just...disappeared. And Reamus Lupin thought that it was better that way.
Hermione and Lupin brought Harry to the infirmery. Madam Pomfrey was standing near the closet with bottles of different kinds of potions in it. She wasn't looking at the trio that walked into the infirmery so she hasn't seen Harry yet. And naturally there was no reaction from her side for now. Lupin tried to caught her attention. He coughed and said :
- Madam Pomfrey, excuse me....we need your help....
- What is it, Reamus ? - she asked her voice was shaking. She turned to face them and fell to the floor at once overturning the tray with medical tools. Lupin ran to the shocked doctor and helped her to stand up.
- Madam Pomfrey, are you okay ?
- Who....is...that ?!! - she almost screamed pointing her shaking finger at Harry who was still standing on the same place with Hermione by his side.
- It's Harry. - Lupin simply answered with a smile. Pomfrey started to laugh as if she was crazy.
- It's not damn funny, Reamus ! It's a bad joke, you know ! How could you do this to me ?!
Lupin stared at her a bit confused and then realised that she thought that he and Hermione brought Harry's corpse to the infirmery to play a trick with her. From this realisation the indignation appeared inside of him. He was not a boy anymore. Been an adult he would never do something like this. But everybody still remembered about what he was doing with Sirius and James when they were learning at Hogwarts and for them he was still the same boy, one of the James's best friends.
- What ?! Why is it always me ?! I didn't do anything ! It's Harry and he's alive !
Pomfrey stared at him for five long minutes as if Reamus was a crazy man who had ran away from the hospital. Then she looked at Harry and Hermione standing a few metres away from her. They were looking at her in turn.
- Madam Pomfrey, I understand that it's a shock for you but can I put Harry on the bed at last ?!! He's damn heavy !
- So...it's really Harry ? He's alive ? Really ?!!
- Yes ! It's Harry and he's alive ! Can we put him on a bed now ?! - Hermione asked a bit annoyed. Harry wasn't listening to them. He was trying to figure out what the hell happened. 'Cause it seemed that it was something bad and scary. Why was Hermione crying from happiness then? Too many questions were swirling in Harry's head and he started to get angry that he couldn't find the answer to them. Finally he decided to wait until Hermione will tell him.
Hermione helped Harry to lay on the bed and sat near him on the edge of his bed. Madam Pomfrey, still shocked, slowly came closer to where Harry laid. Her face was pale and eyes were as round as galleons.
- It can't be... It's a miracle... There's no magic in the whole world which can bring a dead man to life... and you revived Mr. Potter.... You're a brilliant witch, Miss Granger. How did you do that ? You're gonna be famous, you know !
- I don't need fame or anything like this...it not for me.... - she said.
Pomfrey nodded, came closer to Harry and started to look him over After a few minutes of survey she said :
- Well, he's fine. He's weak but that's all.. - she made a pause. - Amazing.
She opened the closet with a collection of different bottles and took one of them.It was filled with blue liquid. She handed it to Harry.
- Here. Drink it Mr. Potter. You need to sleep.
Harry took the bottle from madam Pomfrey's arms and drank it. Like all the others this liquid was very terrible on the taste. It slipped right into his stomach and started to give a strange warm effect. He felt his eyes began to close slowly but he was trying not to fall asleep. He wanted to look at Hermione's smiling face, to feel her near him...it was wonderful just to know that she's sitting near him.
- Sweet dreams, Harry. - she said and kissed his forehead.
- You'll stay here ? With me ? - he asked with a hope in his voice. 'Mione smiled.
- Of course I'll stay with you.
- Good... - Harry mumbled before closing his eyes and falling asleep.
