Chapter 17: Discovered Damage
Harry was numb. He still had that nauseous feeling, but his body was numb. He felt so alone; so helpless and alone. "Why did you have to leave me?" he whispered hoarsely. Warm tears were fighting their way to the surface. His voice cracked as he spoke. "WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME?" he yelled to nothing and no one.
He fell back onto the ground overcome with too many emotions. He felt too many things to be able to hold himself up. He just wanted to die and be done with it. Get rid of the pain that no one would ever be able to understand. Get rid of this life where almost nothing seemed good.
"H-...H-...HARRY!" Hermione shrieked.
Ron ran by her into the room and came to a deadening halt. "Harry..." he said almost breathlessly.
They both heard the pounding footsteps of Mrs. Weasley and then they heard Ginny door unlock.
Ron turned around and pushed Ginny back in her room. "You don't need to come out right now." He said commandingly, but softly over the loud protests of Ginny. She somehow heard him and stopped yelling. Ron had all of the sudden seemed to have become that older brother that seemed controlled, and quiet, yet commanding.
Ron was walking into the room when Mrs. Weasley came into the room ready to scream her head off. She quickly forgot the idea when she saw what they were looking at.
Hermione fell to the floor at a loss to do or say anything. Her legs, it felt like she suddenly had none. The other two couldn't move.
If sounds could kill, the overwhelming silence would have crushed them to oblivion. "Mom?" Ginny had poked her head out.
No one made a move to stop her. None of them had even heard her. It was as if they couldn't comprehend what they were seeing and they couldn't fathom anything else happening or existing.
She saw her mother and brother not moving, and then she saw Hermione sunken down into the floor.
Fred and George came bounding into the room, "What happened..." they both trailed off as they stepped into the doorway. They somehow made found a way to walk into the room ahead of the others, but only by a little.
Ginny was almost scared to come out of her room. Scared to see what had happened to Harry. Scared that she might be petrified at the sight of whatever had taken such a grip on them.
Hedwig had decided to go on back to Ron's house. She had just had that pet's instinct that Harry was at Ron's. After all, the pet's instinct was never wrong. She was making a large sweep of the countryside when she noticed a small black dot way down below her.
She fluttered down slowly, just to make sure that if this was dangerous, she could fly away easily.
As she came closer and closer, she began to realize more and more who it was.
Ginny crept out of her room and stood behind her mother too afraid to look. "Mum? What happened?" she whispered barely audible.
No answer.
"What happened mum?" she cried quietly.
Still no answer.
She pulled herself out from behind her statue of a mother.
She couldn't scream. She couldn't yell. Her voice left her, yet she felt almost as if something was choking her trying to get out of her. She backed up and tripped over a raised up floorboard. She fell onto the ground but scrambled up to get away from there.
She couldn't see clearly. Tears were blinding her. She was going down the steps but kept missing them with her feet. She was mainly falling down the steps and scrambling back up, trying to get away from there.
Everyone was regaining normal consciousness, but no one wanted to move. They felt like if they moved, a blade would fly out of no where and kill them.
Fortunately, Mrs. Weasley's "mother ear" heard her youngest falling down the steps. She turned on a dime and sped out of the room, nudging Ron a bit as she brushed past him.
Silent tears crept their way into Hermione's eyes. They streamed down her face. Not a sound came from the small gap between her lips. She seemed not to even know she was crying. "Harry..." it finally came out.
Hedwig bulleted to the ground and landed on Harry. She nipped at his arm. He seemed phased. She called to him loudly and he seemed to notice her. "Hedwig!" he said smiling faintly. "You've...got to...go get the others. Let them...know...where...I am!" he said slowly.
She nipped his arm reassuringly and sped off without so much as a flash of white.
"I still have you..." he thought to himself as he watched her speed over the trees.
Ginny was on her knees in the living room sobbing into the couch. Mrs. Weasley came over to her and embraced her. She held her child for dear life.
"Mooooommm!" she cried into her mother as she turned around to her mother. "What happened!" she sobbed desperately. "What happened?" she repeated knowing she wouldn't receive an answer. She knew her mother didn't even know.
The faint sound of Ginny falling and then their mother trailing after her seemed to make them snap out of the obscure unconsciousness that had overcome them.
Hermione suddenly took a large breath quickly and exhaled it as soon as she had taken it in. Ron looked down at her blankly, yet his face seemed full of mixed expression. The twins however couldn't take in what they were seeing. To them, it was incomprehensible. They couldn't stand there long enough to let their minds grasp onto what they were seeing.
Ron fell to the floor beside Hermione and embraced her. She let her head fall into his shoulder and then she hooked both of her arms around his arm that was in front of her. "Oh Ron!" she cried in a muffled voice.
They heard a small 'pop' in front of them. Fred and George had disapparated off somewhere else. "What happened Ron?" she cried mercilessly.
As heartless as it may have sounded a simple, "...dunno..." came out from his pale lips. It didn't sound like he felt anything for what happened. When in fact, he did he truly did!
The Burrow came into Hedwig's sight. Her wings were burning from pain she had been flying so fast and hard. She still managed to land gracefully and the windowsill in the kitchen and started creating noise to attract attention to her. She was rapping her talons and the window and scratching her beak on the panes and squawking loudly.
Ginny's mother managed to look up at the bird at their window. "Hedwig!" Mrs. Weasley cried standing up and putting her daughter on the couch at the same time. She ran over to the window and threw it open. Hedwig was squawking desperately trying to tell them what was happening. "Ginny, go get the others!" she boomed turning on Ginny. "Hurry!" she shouted. Ginny jumped up and bounded up the stairs like an over-energetic bunny rabbit.
"RON! HERMIONE!" she screamed running up the stairs.
She came to the door and landed on her knees beside the pair. "Hedwig's here, I think she knows where Harry is!" she said shouting out of breath.
Ron and Hermione looked up at the same time then at each other. They all sprang up at the same time and ran downstairs. Leaving this devastating room behind.
The room where they thought it to be Harry's death. His End.
