Chapter 17. The Hospital Wing

Harry was pacing around outside the Hospital Wing. Hermione held her head in her hands and was sitting on a wooden chair. Ron was sitting next to her with his head against the wall behind the chair. It had been quite some time since when they left Kagome in the hands of Madame Promfrey.

-----Past Time-----

Harry was jogging behind Mcgonagall making sure to take a glance at Kagome every few steps. His heart sank even deeper when he took a glance at the critical

condition she was in.

Kagome's breathing was becoming even more short and ragged within each minute, and new beads of sweat were starting to appear on her forehead. Her eyes were shut tight, probably because of the excruciating pain that her arm was causing.

Every minute or so she would give out a soft groan and shift around in his arms. Finally they were in front of the doors that led to the Hospital Wing. The professor then pushed the doors opened and Harry and Professor Mcgonagall both saw Madame Promfrey walking around carrying a couple of bottles.

The nurse turned her head and was surprised to see Harry and Professor Mcgonagall in her doorway. Her eyes shifted from face to face. Mcgonagall seemed stressed and worried...more than usual. Harry was sweating and he seemed to be carrying something in his arms.

"What in the world?" she began but stopped herself and her face turned the same color as the professor's before.

"Oh my-" said Promfrey her eyes wide.

"Promfrey, Higuarshi needs immediate help." Professor Mcgonagall demanded.

"Right, over here then," she answered leading them to a spare bed.

Harry jogged over and once he arrived he released Kagome's hands were clung onto his cloak. He tried to pry her hands away, but she sure had a strong grip.

Luckily, he was able to pry it off, but not without showing a deep blush first.

He then slowly settled her down onto the bed. Kagome stayed there in her limp position, her chest was rising up and down as every second passed by.

Harry stood there watching her every move which was also known as just staring at her. Mcgonagall stood there at the foot of the bed looking at her as well.

Madame Promfrey was busy inspecting her shoulders. Her eyes widened at the damage. Never in all of her years, has she seen a student at Hogwarts with such damage on any body part. She had to admit, Kagome was one tough girl if she was able to just faint and not go into a coma.

Although Kagome was still living, that didn't mean that she was going to die from the damage. She would have to put an assortment of potions, a little magic, and her intelligence all together to solve this problem.

"I'm sorry Potter but you will have to wait outside," the nurse commanded.

"But-" he began but he was being pushed out the doors.

"I'm sorry Mr. Potter. But you will have to wait outside," she answered and then closed the doors behind him. He gave a loud groan and then he noticed that Ron and Hermione were outside already waiting for him.

-----Now-----

It was at least 10 minutes, but in the minds of Hermione, Ron and Harry, it seemed like 10 years. The doors were soon opened, and the three looked to see the professor getting ready to leave.

"All right, just make sure she gets a full recovery," she said and she closed the door behind her. Noticing the stares and worried faces of the three she gave a sigh.

"Do not worry, she is badly injured, but will heal in time." she assured. "I suggest that you do not bother her if you want her injury to heal." Then she turned around and quickly walked away (more like strides -.-).

The three immediately ran inside to see Madame Promfrey standing beside a bed with her arms full of various types of bottles. She seemed to be looking

down at something.

They quickly jogged toward her and then stood at the foot of the bed. Hermione's eyes widened at the sight. There was Kagome her shoulder heavily bandaged and in a sling. There were a few cuts on her arms and legs, but they seemed to be healing.

Kagome was wearing a tank top along with a pair of short pants. Madame Promfrey then let her bottles down a grabbed a few more bandages and put it on a couple of the healing cuts. Harry stared at Kagome while a pang of guilt was left in the middle of his gut.

'I should have been there faster, it's my fault she's like this.' he thought.

In the distance, a pair of bloodshot eyes were staring at the group. The person was hiding in the shadows and wasn't noticed.

"Heh...perfect. Kagome's in too much pain to do any physical activity. Excellent...I guess the plan will proceed." the person whispered to itself. That person just happened to be the same person who shot the curse at her.

Soon Madame Promfrey was able to finish applying some of the ointment on her cuts and then bandaging it afterwards. Turning around to face the three, she slowly stated, "She still hasn't fully healed yet. So it'll be bad for her wounds if she does any extreme physical activity. Make sure that you three don't bother her, unless, you don't want her to heal quickly. If it seems as if she's in any pain, then call for me. Other than that, you may stay for the time being."

Then she left without another word leaving the four, or three alone in the silence. Out of nowhere Harry thought aloud, "I should have been there...it's my

fault she's like this."

Hermione and Ron were both lost for words. Of course, Hermione was the first to recover.

"Harry..." said Hermione sympathetically. "It isn't your fault. None of it is."

"She's right mate, it's not your fault. It's at least alright that you got here in time...for all you know, she might be...you know..." Ron took a moment of silence as he looked around uncertainly.

"Your wrong, I should have been there for her. I even promised myself that I would save her from any troubles." Harry replied coldly. Then another scary silence took place. Getting tired from standing a little bit too long, they all gathered chairs for themselves. Hermione sat on the left of Kagome, Harry on the right, and Ron at the foot. They were all staring at her.

Much time passed by, and before they knew it they were all sleeping soundly. Hermione laid her head down on the top of her chair. Ron had his head on the railing drooling and snoring peacefully, but loudly. Harry was holding onto Kagome's hand and his head was lying down on her bed.

Kagome was suddenly moving around in her sleep, getting a very uncomfortable feeling. She slowly opened her eyes to find candle lights shining and that

it was now nighttime according to the windows.

She could tell that it was coming close to dinner time. When her eyes were no longer blurry, she immediately knew that she was in the hospital wing (well...she has been there a few times durr :P). She slowly sat up causing pain around her should area. She hissed in pain and quickly held onto her shoulder with her other hand.

"Ow," she complained. She then noticed that her shoulder was bandaged and in a sling. Then she saw three figures surrounding her bed. She rubbed her eyes to see Hermione, Ron, and Harry all peacefully sleeping on her bed.

She held back a laugh at what she saw. Ron's forehead came in contact with the bed railing at one of the times, leaving a big mark across his face. Hermione's hair was tussled up and she was drooling.

Harry, however, was much different from the other two. He was holding tightly onto her hand, and somehow his head came in contact with her stomach. When she shuffled around, it fortunately startled Harry and he woke up to find Kagome staring at him.

"KAGOME!!!" he yelled out in surprise. His sudden outburst woke up Ron and Hermione instantly.

Hermione just shook her head around trying to get rid of her blurry vision, while Ron tried his best to wipe his drool away with his sleeve. Finally after some time Hermione removed her hands, away from her eyes after rubbing, and then looked around. Seeing the sight of Kagome sitting upright, she screamed, "KAGOME!! YOU'RE FINALLY AWAKE!!"

Kagome giggled and said, "Gee, thanks for the info Ms. I-Sure-Drool-A-Lot."

"Shut up," she whispered blushing. Kagome giggled again while Ron and Harry stifled a laugh.

"Anyways," Hermione said shooting a glare at them. "Are you alright Kagome?" Hermione's face then turned into a serious one which was kind of scary thing in Kagome's opinion.

'Whoa, talk about mood swings,' Kagome thought to herself. "Yeah, I'm okey dokey!" She then put on that heart-melting smile of hers which made Harry cheeks to break out into a blush.

Then Kagome stretched her hands above her head, but then stopping quickly. She let out a shriek remembering what had happened to her shoulder.

Alarmed Harry asked, "Kagome? Are you okay?" Kagome held onto her shoulder which was starting to hurt again.

"Y-yes," she just answered straightening herself up. Once again she put on a simple smile.

Harry and Hermione gave a quick glance at each other. The smile seemed to be a little bit too much. Which meant it seemed a little bit too sweet

Noticing that the silence soon took over Ron said, "Aw, c'mon guys stop being so worried!"

"Ya, he's right guys," Kagome said. "For once." Ron just crossed his arms and blew his hair away from his face.

"I'm kidding Ron!" Harry's and Hermione's worry level lowered as they saw Kagome just having fun instead of being in pain. But they still weren't putting their guard down. If there was any sign of Kagome being in pain, Harry and Hermione both had the intention to do so.

Madame Promfrey all of a sudden came in shuffling around as usual. She then noticed the three, surprised that they were still here. She immediately shooed them away.

"Come now, you have to leave Higuarshi to get some sleep. She'll be in your common room tomorrow, bright and early ready to go to class." she assured them. The three then remembered that it was night time and tomorrow would finally be the day where they could go to classes after all the days they were able to at least enjoy.

"Bye Kagome! See you in the morning!" Hermione managed to call out before she was pushed harshly out the door and to have the door shut behind her.

"Bye!" Kagome muffled out, or what they at least heard through the oak doors. The three then slowly walked back to their dorms wanting to get some sleep before the tiring classes began.

Of course, they would need the sleep to survive their long schedules that day. They all said good-bye to each other. Soon they split up and walked upstairs into their rooms. Once they were dressed in their pajamas and done turning off the light, they were already in a soundless sleep.
