Chapter24 Back to the hospital wing!
Ginny followed the stretcher that contained an unconscious
Harry back to Hogwarts.
"Please be okay, Harry. Hold on, please?"
Ginny tears were falling freely as she spoke softly to Harry's
unconscious form. She was so grateful that he was still alive.
Many others were not that lucky. Ginny knew a lot of others
lost their lives that day. She prayed that their souls were at
peace.
The large castle of Hogwarts loomed before her. Ginny felt
relieved to see the familiar grounds of Hogwarts. It was the
only place where she really felt safe.
Harry was magicked into the hospital wing. Ginny kissed him on
the cheek.
"I love you Harry." She whispered to him softly. Madame Pomfrey
shoed her off.
"You can't come in until I say so. Understood, Miss Weasley?"
Ginny just shook her head yes.
"Don't worry I'll let you know how he is as soon as I can. This
boy has been through almost everything and I'm sure he'll be
alright." With that, she closed the door to the hospital wing.
Ginny slumped to floor. She buried her head in her arms and
just waited.
Seconds turned into minutes. Minutes turned into hours. Ginny
watched as Professor McGonagall and Professor Dumbledore walked
in and out of the hospital wing. They both had grave looks on
their faces. Even the twinkle left Dumbledore's blue eyes. They
walked by her as if she were invisible. Ginny felt herself go
crazy with the lack of information. She was about to knock on
the door when it opened.
Madame Pompfrey stepped out. "Miss Weasley?"
Ginny felt her heart begin to pound. "Yes?"
"Harry should recover with a lot of rest. He suffered two
cracked ribs, remnants of the Cruciatus curse. He also was hit
by the Avada Kedavra. It is beyond me how he still is alive,
but the things that happened to that boy. he should have died
along time ago. I don't know how he survived the killing curse,
but he did. His energy level is very low. He will probably need
to stay here at least a week."
Madame Pompfrey paused, than she took a closer look at Ginny.
"You need to go to bed, before you collapse. Harry is sleeping
now. You can visit him tomorrow morning."
Ginny would have leapt for joy, but she felt too weary. "Thank
you for letting me know." Ginny turned around, and walked off
towards the Gryffindor tower.
"Polyjuice," Ginny called out to the portrait of the pink fat
lady, which guarded Gryffindor Tower. The portrait swung open,
revealing the Common Room. Ginny wearily crawled through the
space. She ignored all her housemates and headed strait to the
girl's dorm. She did not even bother to take her robes off. She
collapsed into bed and fell into an exhausting deep sleep.
Harry woke up slowly with his mind groggy. A white haze
surrounded him.
"Am I dead?" Harry asked himself.
He reached around and found his glasses. Harry put them on. The
room came back into focus and Harry realized he was in the
hospital wing. He saw many beds were filled with victims of the
attack. His eyes scanned around for Ginny, but could not see
her anywhere. Harry hoped she was ok. Harry tried to sit up,
but he fell back down in pain. It hurt to even draw a breath.
Harry felt bruised and battered everywhere. Madame Pompfrey
finished tending to a student and walked over to him.
"How are you feeling Mr. Potter?"
"Honestly, I feel like I have been run over by a steamroller.
Where's Ginny Weasley?"
"Miss Weasley is okay, but she can't see you right now. I told
her to go to her dorm and rest. She looked like she was ready
to collapse from exhaustion. I'm going to get you some pain
relief potion, and let the headmaster know that you're awake."
Madame Pompfrey walked to her potions cabinet, and came back
with a bottle of gray pain relief potion.
"Drink it all up."
Harry took a swallow. He had to fight the urge to spit it out.
The potion tasted almost as bad as skelegrow. When Harry was
done, he gave her back the goblet. He sank back down into his
bed.
A few minutes later Dumbledore came in. He pulled up a chair
next to Harry.
"How are you feeling, Harry?"
"Better since I took the pain relief potion."
"That's good." Dumbledore watched Harry with a thoughtful
expression on his face. "I'm curious to find out what happened
to Voldemort? Some are saying he is gone. The only one to know
the truth is you."
"He's not gone, sir. I only transported him to Greenland."
"How did you accomplish that? There weren't any spells I was
aware of that could do that."
"I found the spell at the beginning of the year, in the Room of
Requirement. It was in an old tattered book. The spell lets you
transport the person in question anywhere you want to send
them."
"Don't let anybody else know of the spell, especially the
ministry."
"Don't worry; I won't let the ministry know anything, sir. I
can't trust them. Oh, Percy Weasley is a Death Eater. I don't
know how or when, but he's a traitor."
"Yes, I know he was, Harry."
"Was? He's gone, isn't he?"
"I'm sorry Harry, he must have been behind you when you and
Voldemort were dueling. The pendant that you were wearing saved
you from getting the full effects of the curse. Percy wasn't as
fortunate however."
"Well, that explains why the Cruciatus curse didn't hurt like
usual." Harry remarked dryly.
"Is Hermione and Ron alright?"
"Harry." Dumbledore began to chuckle dryly. "They were
occupying The Shrieking Shack. They both are worried about you,
but you are not allowed to have visitors until tomorrow. You
need sometime to recover."
Harry shifted in his bed. "And yet you're here, sir."
Dumbledore had to let out a chuckle. "Why my dear boy, that's
the advantage of being Headmaster. Any more questions?"
"Actually, just one. Who all were lost at Hogsmeade?"
Dumbledore shifted his eyes to the ground. When he glanced up
again his blue eyes glistened with tears. "We lost Terry Boot,
Mundugus Fletcher, Dennis Creevey, Percy Weasley."
"That bloody traitor." Harry interrupted him.
"Harry let me finish, there was one more who was killed. It was
Cho Chang."
Harry felt his shoulders slump, even though he no longer had a
crush on her. He also did not want anything to happen to her
either. "How is Malfoy holding up? He and Cho were getting
awfully friendly."
Dumbledore sighed, "He doesn't know yet, he's been unconscious.
I'm sorry to bring you the bad news."
Harry just nodded.
I have an emergency meeting with the Order. Therefore, I am
going to have to go. Do not try to visit Draco yet. It won't do
him any good." With that, Dumbledore got up. He looked like he
aged ten years within the last five minutes.
Harry watched him go. There was nothing left for him to do.
Harry's eyelids started to get heavy, and he took off his
glasses, and laid them on the table next to him. He sank back
into his bed and let his eyes close. Hopefully his dreams would
turn out to better than reality.
