Chapter seven Harrys Pov
Christmas was fast approaching and I had decided to stay at school. Fred, George, Ron and Percy were anyway so I wouldn't have had anywhere to go anyway though their change of plans had been last-minute as Mr and Mrs Weasley and Ginny had gone to Romania to visit Charlie who was the second oldest Weasley son.
Susan was staying too as her Aunt had to work a lot. I didn't mind as it would be nice to have someone my age that would talk to me in my dorms. I didn't want to hang around George and Fred, not wanting to be a burden to them. They had been great to put up with me this long, so having Susan there would be better. However the downside was that Susan was the only Hufflepuff staying. It was then I had an idea.
" Professor?" I asked Professor Dumbledore.
" Ah Harry my boy how can I help you?"
" Well my friend Susan is the only Hufflepuff staying I was just wondering could she use the female first years dorms in Gryffindor while the holidays are here?"
" Ah Harry of course she can. It is very nice of you to consider your friends. Ten points to Gryffindor for the nice thought."
" Thanks sir." I said before skipping off to look for Susan.
" SUSAN!" I shouted when I saw her.
" Oh hey Harry."
" Guess what?"
" What?"
" Well you will be staying in the Gryffindor first year girl dorms during the Christmas holidays so you aren't all by yourself in the Hufflepuff house."
" Oh Harry thanks that's so sweet of you." Hannah said cooing slightly.
" What are friends for and it means we can spend Christmas together." I replied blushing slightly.
" Awww thanks Harry." Susan said.
She pulled me into a hug and it was warm and sweet. I smiled at her when she pulled away. She pulled me by the hand and led me to where Justin and Hannah were waiting for us in the grounds. It had started to snow and had laid thick and heavy. I was really glad I wasn't going to have to be alone at Christmas even though I knew that George and Fred would be there, I wouldn't hang around with them for ages, knowing that they would get bored with me, Uncle Vernon always said, even if I thought people were my friends, they were only joking and would hate me.
" Oh there you guys are I can't believe its only a week until the holidays." Hannah sighed.
" I know."
" Come on its five and you have to eat Harry." Justin said. George was making sure that everyone I was hanging around with at tea time would make sure that I actually ate, because of the fact that whenever I was thinking too hard then I would skip tea or whatever other meal it was time to have to go and work it out, also as the fact I wasn't very hungry often. I was just too used to not eating.
" I can't I have detention I have to go." I said rushing off.
" Harry you need to eat." Hannah cried after me.
" But I can't be late for detention. I will get the twins to take me to the kitchens later." I said before rushing off even further.
I got to my detention just in time. I was helping Professor Quirrell sort out some of his files and I wasn't looking forward to it. He stunk of garlic. It made me feel sick. I got into the classroom and his stutters made me have a headache. I understood that he was scared, but I doubted the vampire he was scared of would come to Hogwarts, how on earth would it get past the wards anyway and Dumbledore would never have let him in.
" M-m-Mr P-P-Potter co-co-come i-in." He said.
" Thank you Professor."
I walked in and he started marking some papers at the desk. I started sorting out the files, and it was long and tedious. Why not do it by magic? I mean that would be an amazing idea, it would save so much time. I would rather do cleaning, I was used to doing it when I lived with the Dursleys. I was sorting out the ones in the 'f' section when I heard a sneeze but it wasn't Professor Quirrell. My brow furrowed. Was someone hiding in here? If they were, why were they?
" Sir what was that?" I asked.
" B-b-be q-q-q-quiet Mr P-P-Potter."
" But sir..." I began to protest.
" Obliviate." He said pointing his wand at me and I fell to the ground.
Quirrells Pov
" Quirrell you idiot he won't remember any of his detention now and he won't be awake for another three hours and his housemates will be expecting him back in an hour." My master said.
" But Master can't I renervate him?" I pleaded.
" Fool! He can't be renervated! He has not been stunned as such. His mind is trying to comprehend what happened!"
" Sorry Master!"
Harrys Pov
I woke up and I was in Professor Quirrells office and it was half past one in the morning and I knew I would be allowed to leave so I walked out and ran to the common room hiding in the shadows in hope that I wouldn't be caught by Filch and to my relief I wasn't.
" Ah there you are the Weasley twins and Mr Jordan have been panicking you were meant to return hours ago."
" Sorry."
" Password."
" Err..." I said, I was sure I would know it.
" Pig snout?" I asked.
" Nope that was the password before, it changed this afternoon, don't you know it, Mr Weasley said he was going to tell you."
" I don't remember seeing him." I said frowning.
" Sorry no password no entry."
" Oh okay then." I said. I was still wracking my brains trying to remember the password.
I slipped down against the wall and fell asleep. I could hear the Fat Lady apologising about the fact that she had no choice but to go with it as she had to stick to the rules but I told her it was okay before falling asleep. I was exhausted and my head was starting to hurt. I heard more whispering before falling fully asleep.
McGonagall's Pov
I was going to check on the Gryffindors as I did every night so I would know if one was out and about and I was worried to see that Harry was laying fast asleep outside the common room looking so small. It was half past three and the Fat Lady was there and it made me wonder as to why he wasn't inside. Surely if she had been out when he got back from detention she would have woken him so he was allowed to go back in.
" My lady why isn't he in there?" I asked her.
" He seemed very disoriented but I couldn't let him in without the password and he seemed really confused."
" Hmmm I wonder what's wrong with him?"
" I'm not sure Professor."
" Harry. Come on Harry. Come on wake up." I said crouching down so I was next to him.
He woke up and blinked at me sleepily as soon as I placed a hand on his arm and he jumped slightly, making me aware that I must have startled him as he no doubt would not be used to being woken in such a way.
" Mr Potter why can't you remember the password?" I asked curiously.
" I don't know Professor I can't remember what happened since five o'clock ish today or yesterday."
" Hmmm how about we get you back to your dorm and then we will see tomorrow morning how's that sound?"
" Ok Professor."
I led him into the common room where the Weasley twins were waiting still awake. I was clearly surprised that they were still awake, of course I was not taking into account the fact that George Weasley would be worried about his soul mate who had failed to turn up after his detention.
" Professor how come you have Harry?" George, I think, asked confused.
By this point Harry had given up going upstairs and just fallen asleep on the sofa and I didn't have the heart to wake him up as he had classes tomorrow and it couldn't be healthy for him to have so little sleep. He had curled himself into a ball and his head was resting against the arm of the sofa and one of them sat down by the side of him and stroked his hair and I guessed that must have been George.
" Messrs Weasley you should have been asleep hours ago!" I cried but not to wake the others.
" Well we couldn't sleep as we had no idea where Harry was." Fred said.
" Well Mr Potter was asleep outside the portrait hole. He seemed very disoriented according to the Fat Lady and had no knowledge of the password."
" That's strange I told him it when I saw him on the way to detention." George said.
" Yes well it seems he can't remember anything from around five this evening so you shall have to wait and we will see in the morning. Now go to sleep."
" We'll sleep down here." Fred said.
" Right look after Mr Potter and I will tell your teacher for your morning classes that you don't have to be there but you will have to catch up."
" Yes ma'am." They chorused.
" That includes Harry too. Tell him for me, thank you." I said before leaving.
Georges Pov
Fred fell asleep straight away but I went and curled up with Harry and I pulled him into my arms so I was comfy and I was assuming he was too. I couldn't fall asleep even though with him in my arms which made me relax more, seen as I had been worried about him. Fred had been worried too but obviously not as much seen as he wasn't Harry's soul mate but he thought of Harry as his younger brother who needed to be protected and I was his younger brother too but we were very close. It was then that I thought of something which meant I had to wake Fred up.
" Fred. Fred."
" George? What do you want? 'M tired I want to go to sleep." He sighed sleepily.
" I know, so do I, but we should go up to our dorms otherwise we will be waken when everyone else comes down too."
" Okay what about Harry?"
" I'll carry him up he can share with me." I told Fred.
" Alright then."
We literally dragged ourselves upstairs while I carried Harry. Fred opened the door and we slipped in and I only had time to close the curtains around my bed before I fell asleep next to Harry and I could tell that in his own bed Fred had fallen asleep really quickly. I woke up to Lee getting ready but I heard Professor McGonagall come in after knocking on the door and getting permission from Lee to come in, enter.
" Mr Jordan. Don't wake Harry or the twins up as something is up with Harry and that caused them not to get much sleep."
" Why what happened to him?"
" Mr Potter can't remember what happened to him since five o'clock yesterday evening meaning he didn't remember the password and I caught him asleep outside the common room at half past three this morning and Messrs Weasley were still awake so they have the morning off after class."
" Do you think his amnesia is making another sort of appearance?"
" It may be now go to breakfast."
" Okay Professor."
" Good good." I heard her say before I fell back to sleep with Harry.
Lees Pov
I walked down to breakfast and sat down next to my soul mate Katie. She smiled at me before turning back to talk to her friend Leanne. I tuned out for a moment and I was brought back to my senses by getting tapped on the shoulder by Katie. I had been focusing on eating my peanut butter toast, that I ate near enough every morning.
" What is it Kate?"
She just beckoned behind me and when I turned around I saw three first years. Justin, Hannah and Susan. Harry's friends in Hufflepuff. All three of them looked slightly worried, Hannah looked the most so. She was twisting her robe in her hands nervously.
" Hello."
" Hi Lee where's Harry?" Justin said.
" Why do you think I'll know where he is?" I asked but more in a joking tone.
" Because Justin assumed he is with the twins and they're your dorm mates." Susan said.
" Your right. They're still sleeping as there's something wrong with Harry..." I started but was cut off.
" Is he okay? It's not serious is it?" Hannah panicked.
" Hannah let him answer." Justin said.
" Oops sorry."
" No problem. He can't remember anything since five o'clock yesterday evening."
" It sounds serious." Susan said.
" No we think it might just be a little relapse because of his amnesia."
" Oh I hope he's okay." Hannah worried.
" When will he be back in classes?" Susan asked.
" This afternoon I think they all will be."
" Thanks." Justin said.
They all walked back to their table and began eating and I turned back to my breakfast and Katie went back to her conversation with Leanne.
