As they got to the Hospital Wing they could see Madam Pomfery wrapping bandages around Jack's chest where his ribs were, the boy still asleep.
"Is he going to be alright?" Elisa asked Tooth who was standing to one side with Sandy while Nick and Aster helped the matron with Jack.
"He'll be fine. The Bludger only broke a couple of ribs and the shock knocked him out. But with the proper care and a good night's rest, he should be fine in the morning." Tooth said repeating what Madam Pomfery had said to her.
Soon the bandages were done and Jack had been changed into some pajamas and gently set into the bed.
"Someone will have to stay here with him all night, in case he wakes up and is confused as to what happened." Madam Pomfery said packing up.
"I will," Harry said right away saying that if it wasn't for Jack he might be the one in the bed.
Nodding, everyone agreed and Harry was given some pajamas as well which he would change into later.
For the next few hours everyone was there each one coming up with an idea on how someone may have messed with the Bludger.
The Gryffindor Quidditch team visited during that time.
"Unremarkable flying Harry," George said, quietly so not to wake Jack up, clapping the boy's shoulder "We'll congratulate Frost tomorrow. I've just seen Marcus Flint yelling at Malfoy. Something about having the Snitch on top of his head and not noticing. Malfoy didn't seem too happy."
Their loud laughter brought Madam Pomfery over who kicked the Team out saying that Jack needed rest.
"Then why is she yelling as well?" Elisa mumbled, in a voice only Aster could hear.
Around dinner time, the Guardians said that they needed to be going said one last goodbye to a still sleeping Jack and left.
Next to go were Annie and Elisa, leaving Harry, Hermione, and Ron around the bed.
"I hope Jack will wake up sooner rather than later," Hermione said while Harry changed into the pajamas behind a curtain.
"We won though," said Ron, a grin breaking across his face "That was some catch Jack made wasn't it? Malfoy's face... he looked ready to kill!"
"I really want to know how he fixed that Bludger," said Hermione darkly "I mean it could have killed him, or you Harry."
"We can add that to the list of things we ask him when we've taken the Polyjuice Potion," said Harry coming out from behind the curtains doing up the last button.
Having nothing more to be said, Ron and Hermione left and Harry got into the bed next to Jack eating some food Madam Pomfery had given him.
Every so often, Harry looked at Jack worried as it didn't look like he was breathing, but when he hovered his hand over Jack mouth he did feel something, and when he checked he could see Jack chest slowly rising and falling.
It was around 9pm when Harry started to fall asleep himself.

Hours later Jack Frost was awoken from his dreams of him playing with his sister and his village friends to a cry of someone nearby.
Groaning Jack looked around and saw Harry in the bed next to him and an odd looking creature in front of him.
Slowly Jack sat up crying out as his ribs hurt.
"Jack," Harry said coming over to check on him.
"Nice to see you too Harry." Jack said grinning then looked up the creature. "And who are you?"
"Dobby, sir," the creature said in a high squeaky voice "Dobby the House Elf."
"This the Dobby who was blocking your mail?" Jack asked Harry who nodded.
"And it turns out he's the reason why the barrier at Kings Cross blocked itself to us on the 1st of September."
Jack wasn't paying attention to that instead he looked at the dirty pillowcase the elf was wearing and asked Dobby:
"Why do you wear that thing Dobby?"
"This sir?" Dobby asked plucking at his pillow case "It is a mark of the house-elf enslavement sir. Dobby can only be freed if his masters present him with clothes, sir. The family which Dobby serves is careful not to even give Dobby a sock, for then he would be freed forever."
"Does it have to be your masters who give you clothes?" Jack asked wanting to help Dobby.
"Yes sir, it does" the elf said blowing his nose on his pillow case, but then came around and turned to Harry "Harry Potter must go home! Dobby thought his Bludger would be enough to make –"
"Your Bludger?" Harry asked getting mad and making Dobby jump. "You made that Bludger try and kill me?"
"And me?" Jack also asked the elf.
"Not kill you sir, never kill you! And Dobby did not mean to harm you Jack Frost," said Dobby shocked. "Dobby only put a spell on the Bludger to harm the Gryffindor Seeker enough to be sent home. Dobby did not know that you would replace Harry Potter, sir. To make up for harming you, sir, Dobby had to shut his ears in the oven."
"And I don't suppose you're going to tell me why you want me sent home in pieces?" Harry asked angrily.
"Dobby only wants Harry Potter to be safe." Dobby said answered "Dobby remembers how it was before Harry Potter defeated He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. Us house-elves were treated like vermin sir. Of course Dobby is still like that sir," he admitted, again blowing his nose into his pillowcase.
Just then there was a bang of a door from down the corridor leading into the hospital wing, making all three of them look up.
Quickly Dobby turned back to Harry as Jack listened in wondering what was so important that the elf was trying to send Harry home.
"Listen. Listen… Terrible things are about to happen at Hogwarts," he began "Dobby cannot let Harry Potter stay here. Now that history is to repeat itself. Now that the Chamber of Secrets if open once more!"
"Repeat itself?" Harry whispered "So this has all happened before? And there really is a Chamber of Secrets?"
Scared Dobby looked around for something to punish himself with, but Harry grabbed him before he could.
"But Harry's not Muggle Born," Jack said leaning against his pillows "How can he be in danger? And how come you're not trying to save anyone else Dobby?"
Dobby was now twisting his ears, but Harry made him stop and grabbed the elf's pillowcase.
"Tell us Dobby, when did this happen before? Who's doing it now?"
"Dobby can't! Dobby can't! Dobby mustn't tell!" Dobby screamed.
Worried they were making too much noise Jack checked the doorway but it was still clear.
"No Dobby tell me!" Harry said firmly "A few of our best friends are Muggle-born. They'll be fist in line if the Chamber has really been opened."
Soon there were footsteps from the passage way outside and with a click of his fingers Dobby was gone.
Quickly Harry jumped back into bed and Jack quickly but carefully also returned to his original position.
The next moment Dumbledore came in backwards, wearing a long woolen dressing gown and nightcap, carrying one end of a statue. Professor McGonagall came a second later carrying the other end.
Together they placed it on a spare bed and the boys head Dumbledore say "Get Madam Pomfery."
Nodding McGonagall hurried past the boys beds out of sight.
As Jack and Harry laid still pretending to be asleep, they heard urgent voices and soon Professor McGonagall came back quickly followed by Madam Pomfery who was pulling on a light pink cardigan.
"What happened?" she asked after a gasp.
"There has been another attack," said Dumbledore. "Minerva found him on the stairs."
"There was a bunch of grapes next to him." said Professor McGonagall "We think he was trying to come up and visit either Potter or Frost."
Hearing this, the boys looked at each other with worried looks and then looked over to the bed, unable to see anything because Madam Pomfery was in the way.
However if Harry moved to his other side and looked, he could see a beam of moonlight bouncing off of something that looked like a camera the figure was holding up.
It was Colin Creevey.
"Petrified?" whispered Madam Pomfery leaning over him.
"Yes," said Professor McGonagall "But I shudder to think… If Albus hadn't been on his way downstairs for hot chocolate, who knows what might have happened."
The three of them looked down at the frozen Colin, then carefully Dumbledore pulled the camera free and turned it over.
"You think he might have gotten a picture of his attacker?" Professor McGonagall said hopefully.
Dumbledore didn't answer and instead opened the back as a puff of smoke came out and the smell of melted film filled the air.
"Melted," said Madam Pomfery "All melted…"
"What does this mean Albus?" Professor McGonagall asked urgently.
"It means," said Dumbledore "That our students are no longer safe. The Chamber of Secrets is indeed open again."
"But Albus… surely… who?"
"The question is not who," said Dumbledore "The question is, how…"
With that and a few confused looks from McGonagall and Madam Pomfery, the nurse went to go and check if she had the revival potion for Colin.
AN: Sorry for the delay in updating this.
I couldn't find the right words (I hope these are all ok)
Going by a PM review I got from Eoin Twomey I will try to add more Luna Lovegood (but no one get their hopes up)
