Chapter 7


Filch was walking very quickly hoping to catch up to Hermione, who he was sure couldn't have gone too far. Filch stopped for a moment to catch his breath. When he heard a thud and laughing and then he heard someone talking although he couldn't make out the words. He sprinted off in the direction of the noises. When he went further down the corridor he saw two figures, one ran away upon his approach and the other lying on the ground.

The fleeing figure was out of his sight by the time he arrived to the figure lying on the ground. Filch knelt down to see who it was, Hermione Filch thought in surprise. He checked to see if she was conscious, she was however she looked dazed he noticed her forehead was bleeding. "Miss Granger" he said trying to get a response but getting nothing "Miss Granger he tried again still getting nothing. Desperate for a response he yelled "HERMIONE!" This got her attention, she sat up and looked at him only able to somewhat focus

"Mr. Filch?" "Yes Miss Granger its me, can you tell me what happened?" Hermione nodded slowly, "Draco Malfoy tripped me sir and I fell. Filch nodded in understanding, "I see you have hit your head, you may have a concussion are you hurt anywhere else?" Hermione nodded, "when I fell I landed on my right knee and heard a crunch." "Can you stand or walk if I help you?" Hermione shook her head, which was a bad idea because she then felt nauseated and vomited on the floor. Filch not quite what to do reached out a hand and rubbed Hermione's back, he wasn't sure if it was helping or not but he'd seen other people do it in similar situations.

"I'm sorry" said Hermione "what for?" asked Filch confused "I just made more work for you" Hermione said weakly. Filch shook his head " never mind about that I'll make sure Malfoy cleans it up as punishment." Filch stood up with a groan and thought about what do next, breakfast would be over soon. He could ask a teacher to levitate Hermione to the hospital wing, but he really didn't want to wait or leave her alone to go get someone. "Miss Granger" Hermione once again zoned out didn't respond "Hermione" "yes sorry sir" Hermione said snapping out of it. "Would you allow me to carry you to the hospital wing" Hermione too tired and hurt at this point slowly nodded her head. Filch carefully bent down and scooped up her up gently in his arms, he summoned Mrs. Norris and told her to make sure no one comes down the corridor until it's cleaned. Filch begun the journey to the hospital wing holding Hermione tightly in his arms.
