-*Here it is the moment where Harry and Hermione come face to face after four years!
Chapter 7:
Harry awoke to a familiar white room and groan out loud, "Ugh! Why here?" he asked out loud to the seeming emptiness, but he was shocked to be answered by a chuckle. The young Warden turned his head to see Dumbledore sitting next to his bed smiling. "Uh Professor…have you been watching me sleep?" the wizard chuckled again "Goodness no I just arrived two minutes ago and sat down just in time to hear your exclamation." Harry sighed at the humor the Headmaster seemed to find at his dismay, as he sat up he mockingly glared at the old man. "What happened?" Harry asked as he shifted in the bed, "Well my boy you have been in a coma for the past four years…" the old man said while trying (and failing) to keep a straight face. Soon though Dumbledore was laughing heartily at his own joke, and once he calmed down he explained what had happened after Harry had passed out, that is to say they carried him to the Hospital Wing and Madam Pompfrey healed the knife wound and the poison that was injected in there as well.
After an hour or so Dumbledore left and gave Harry the chance to escape, though sadly just as his feet touched the ground Harry heard someone clearing their throat right behind him making him jump. No one should be able to sneak up on a Warden but this evil women with here evil nasty potions seemed to be able to do just that. "Mister Potter, you should remember how this works even with your absence, no one leaves this wing without my say so." Her stern looked pinned Harry to the bed. Sighing Harry returned to his sitting position in the bed, "So when will you let me leave?" he asked as innocently as possible. "Oh, you'll be out by dinner if you behave." Soon as those words left her mouth doors opened up and two people walked in and made a B-line towards Harry.
Orsin and Paner stopped at the foot of the bed and looked at the Storm Warden with worrying eyes, "You ok man?" Orsin asked looking at his best friend in the hospital bed. "Yeah, why are guys freaking out? This isn't the first time you all have visited in a medic wing." Harry replied with a chuckle causing the other two to crack a grin, as they remembered the numerous times he ended in a hospital bed. "But none of those times involved the Dark Warden." Paner's small voice interrupted the boys' musings. "Yeah but I'm ok, Madam Pompfrey has never failed to heal anything yet" Replied the bed ridden Warden with a cocky grin. The three talked about patrol and positions for standing guard duty till the nurse came in and released Harry from bed (which surprised him because he didn't think they had been talking all that long) he dressed in a hoodie, jeans, and boots and they headed down with the rest of the students to get some food.
As they made it to the Entrance Hall Harry stopped, this time he wasn't going in there to fight he was going in there to eat, and by doing that he has to face the school for the first time in four years. He was just about to take a step forward when he felt a hand on his shoulder; Harry turned and saw the two people he had missed most in the last four years that is till he was punched in the face.
Hermione woke that morning and was happy, Harry was back and she would go see him before breakfast. She got dressed and exited the Head Girls dorm and walked down to the common room and met Ron. She greeted him with a peck on the lips and a bright smile, though that smile changed to a frown when the duo saw that Dumbledore was standing outside seemingly waiting for them. "Ah Miss. Granger and Mr. Weasley I must ask you to not visit Harry just yet, he is trying to adjust to being in the castle again though I promise you, you will see him at dinner." Ron sighed but nodded his head, he wanted to see his friend but at the same time he saw the injury that he got last night and knew that one was worse than the basilisk bite four years ago. Hermione looked like she was going to punch the Headmaster, but at a squeeze given to her hand by Ron she grudgingly nodded her head still glaring at the old man and so the day went on…oh joy.
All day Hermione was seething at the fact that she couldn't see Harry however somehow it turned from that to being mad at Harry himself, for no reason other than being gone for four years. Her anger almost doubled when she saw the two other Wardens head up to the Hospital Wing to visit Harry (she had a class in a room that was down the hall from the wing.) Then when it came time for dinner she had calmed down slightly, but when she saw the three Wardens laughing the anger came flooding back and she had to vent out her anger somehow. So she pulled Ron by the hand until she was standing right behind Harry and she placed her hand on his shoulder, and when he turned she pulled back her arm and punched him right in the jaw, really hurting her hand and definitely getting Harry's attention in the process.
Harry stood there confused, why had she hit him? He brought up his head and gave her a look that showed the confusion he felt. A split second later he was struck in the chest by Hermione as she hugged him burying her face in her chest as she wept. Harry looked at Ron confused, he gave the Warden a shrug of the shoulders and a smile on his face, all of his worries seemed to float away at the sight of his missing best friend. Ron came forward and wrapped an arm around Harry's shoulder in a one arm hug. Paner and Orsin stood there smiling at the reunited friends; they knew how much Harry had missed the two of them over the years.
Harry managed to disentangle himself from his friends (though it was kind of hard to get Hermione off when he really didn't want her to let go) "Ron, Hermione meet Orsin and Paner my teammates and friends, guys meet Ron and Hermione my oldest friends" Harry said, though he wouldn't admit it he was nervous at the two friends meeting. He wanted them to get along they all were his closest friends after all he didn't need them fighting. Hermione walked forward with her hand extended and shook Paner's hand with a smile on her face. "A pleasure to meet you Paner, good to see you have taken such good care of Harry" Paner in turn smiled "Same to you Hermione Harry has told us so much about you two." Ron and Orsin shared similar niceties, Harry sighed in relief that earned a punch on the arm from Orsin. "Now you just have to face the rest of the school" Orsin said looking at the Storm Warden with a grin making Harry groan, he hated being the center of attention.
Sorry this is so short but I promise a good fight scene in the next chapter.
