Chapter eight Georges Pov
When I woke up again Harry was beginning to stir and he blinked at me sleepily. His emerald eyes were clouded with sleep and his raven hair was even more tussled, sticking up in all directions. I knew I must have messy hair too, but it didn't bother me and in the slightest. He yawned blinking furiously and I guessed he was trying to wake himself up properly. He smiled and me sleepily. He then blushed when he realised he was in bed with me and I just smiled back at him.
" What time is it?" He asked still blushing heavily.
" Eleven." I told him.
Panic flew onto his face.
" Eleven! Oh God! I've missed most of this mornings classes. Except Herbology which is meant to start in five minutes." He said hurrying to climb out of my bed, however I pulled him back down beside me. He blushed even heavier.
" Woah hold up Harry. Its okay. Because of having to sleep outside from around half one this morning you and Fred and I have been allowed the morning off classes."
" By who?" He asked frowning, probably wondering whether I was messing about or just skiving.
" Professor McGonagall."
" Oh. Sorry." He said knowing I had guessed what he was getting at.
" Its okay." I told him.
" My head hurts." Harry mumbled to himself laying back down again and curling into a ball.
" What?" I asked him as I was unsure whether I had heard correctly.
" Nothing."
It was clear that he wasn't going to tell me what he said, so I went with what I thought he had said, and turned out to be right.
I placed a hand to his head and saw that he had a fever. He was also pretty pale as he lay on the bed. I looked out of the curtains to see Fred was getting up and making his way over here. His hair was tussled all over and sleep was crusting the edges of his eyes. He smiled at me sleepily.
" Fred can you go and get me a pain potion, a glass of water and a wet but wrung out flannel from the bathroom."
" Why are you okay Georgie?"
" I'm fine."
" Is Harry okay?" He asked worried too.
" Not really, now hurry up with those things, I want to make him feel better."
" Righto."
By this point Harry was half asleep again and I was worried for him. Did he just have a bug or was his amnesia coming back on or was this something else? Maybe he was just tired or had a headache. I pressed my hand to his forehead taking his temperature again. He was still really hot and I moved the covers to bundle around him, so that he was covered from his toes to the top of his neck so he would be warm enough. I remember Katie telling me in the muggle world they tried to do this to get rid of a cold, and it might have helped with this.
Fred came back with the things I had asked for and I placed the flannel on Harrys head and held it there. However for the next bit I needed Harry to be awake or at least slightly so I had to wake him. I made sure to wake him but still keep him bundled up in the covers. I helped him sit up as he blinked sleepily. I pulled him onto my lap and he rested his head against my chest sleepily.
" Harry, come on can you wake up a second then I promise I'll let you go back to sleep."
" Mmm."
He opened his eyes slightly and I smiled at him. I held his mouth open and poured the pain potion down his throat which he swallowed and gagged slightly at the awful taste of it. I then pressed the water to his lips and he drank. I smiled still holding him, fully wrapped up in my arms. He snuggled down, burying his face in my arm.
" Go on then Ry go back to sleep."
He did almost immediately and I turned to look at the worried looking Fred. He was watching Harry very worried. He looked at me when he worked out I wanted him. I stroked Harry's hair slightly. It couldn't be good to fall asleep that quickly, could it? He was shivering slightly so I wrapped my arms around him fully, so he could have my heat in addition to the heat that the cover was keeping in.
" Go get Professor McGonagall." I said.
" But Madam Pomfrey?"
" Professor McGonagall."
" Okay okay." He said before running out.
Fred's Pov
I ran for Professor McGonagall who was in the middle of teaching a fifth year class. She came to the door and opened it a few moments later. She looked confused to seeing me there. She cast a look at the rest of the class, to make sure everyone was still working, rather than just staring at the wall or the door. She snapped at a few people who weren't doing as they were meant to be before turning back to me.
" Mr Weasley?"
" Something's wrong with Harry and George insisted I come and get you."
" Okay one second."
" Okay."
" Percy take the class I will be a few minutes."
Percy smiled and walked to the front of the class. McGonagall smiled before she went and followed me. We walked down the hallway and I told the password to the Fat Lady and I ran up the stairs and a few minutes later McGonagall entered as well. By this point Harry was in the bathroom being sick while George held him on his lap. George was rubbing soothing circles on his back. McGonagall looked over in worry. I knew she was wondering why we hadn't called Madam Pomfrey and to be honest I had no idea by Georges reasoning either but I went with it. She nodded and looked at Harry once more before walking over to him. She knelt down beside him and George moved slightly out of the way so she could speak to him.
" Mr Potter first have you remembered what happened since five o'clock yesterday?"
" No ma'am the first thing I remember was leaving the Professors office."
" Okay, how are you feeling?"
" Sick."
" Okay shall I go and get Madam Pomfrey?"
" Yes please." He whispered in a croaky voice.
" Okay I will be right back."
She left the room and Harry lay against George's chest and he sighed. George was still rubbing circles however on his shoulder instead of his back. Harry looked relaxed as George carried on and Harrys eyes flickered close before he started speaking.
" Guys you can go I'm sick and I don't want you to see it." He said.
" No chance I'm not leaving you." George said.
" I'll stay." I said.
He was about to protest but he was cut off my another wave of vomiting and two minutes later Madam Pomfrey ran in. Professor McGonagall had gone back to her class. Madam Pomfrey came and sat down next to Harry so George had to budge over so there was room for her.
" Mr Potter?"
" 'Ello Madam Pomfrey."
" What's the matter with you?"
" I don't know."
Madam Pomfrey turned to look at George and he began to explain what had happened since Harry couldn't as he was still being sick into the toilet. I listened too intently as I was unsure what had happened, and if Harry was ill again when George wasn't there, I wanted to be able to help too. Harry was going to be my little brother in who knows how long. Soul mates, I knew, could get engaged as soon as they turned eleven, and then they could marry the minute the youngest turned thirteen, and I knew George, and I knew he wouldn't wait too long before getting engaged to Harry, though I did think he would take longer to do than if it was with someone else, as Harry was very insecure.
" Well he had detention last night but he doesn't remember any of it. He hasn't remembered anything since five o'clock last night and when he got to the portrait around half one."
" He couldn't remember the password as it had changed and he could tell it had but had no idea what it was though one of us told him on his way to detention." I told her.
" He then was brought in around half three by Professor McGonagall."
" We were waiting for him in the common room."
" We then all fell asleep over here." George said.
" McGonagall was letting us have the morning off so that we could catch up on sleep."
" Harry woke up and said his head hurt and he felt dizzy."
" Which is weird in itself."
" I sent Gred to and get Professor McG."
" He got her and she got you."
" Okay then Mr Potter come to the hospital wing with me." She said.
Harry was still being sick into the bowl so he didn't reply. George was really worried for him as was I to be honest. Madam Pomfrey conjured a bucket and we all went down to the hospital wing with him as Madam Pomfrey didn't have time to protest as she needed to sort out Harry. She cast a charm on him to put him to sleep. She made sure he couldn't be sick again as well. She kept on casting charms on him before she turned back to us talking to George really.
" Right he will be fine. He has a stomach bug and the forgetting what has happened seems to only be from a slip up in the amnesia. I think. However everything seems to be under control for now so he should be fine."
" Thank you Madam Pomfrey." We said.
" You're very welcome. When he wakes up I will give him a potion and he should be fine to go to afternoon classes."
" Thanks." We said once more.
She smiled before going back into her office so she could record that Harry had been here so she had the right records. We took seats to one side of Harry and an hour later he woke up and I went to collect Madam Pomfrey from her office. George had taken Harry by the hand and was explaining what Madam Pomfrey had said to him. She followed me to Harry's bed and she had hands filled with potions.
She made sure he drank the potions before we were ushered out of the hospital wing and we made our way to the great hall. Harry bid us goodbye before he was swept off by three worried Hufflepuffs. They pulled him over to their table and pulled him down to sit with him forcing food onto his plate and we went off to sit with Lee.
Harry;s Pov
" Oh Harry where have you been?" Hannah asked.
" Well I had a problem with the amnesia thing after detention and was locked out of the common room as the password went blank from my mind. Well I was woken up at half three and George and Fred were awake in the common room and we were sent to bed. However we had to go to sleep and were given the morning off classes and we slept in the twins room."
" Did you share a bed with George?" Justin asked grinning.
I blushed to the tips of my hair.
" Awww leave liccle Harry alone." Susan said.
" Sorry." He apologised in a fake apologetic tone.
" I accept your humble apology."
" What have we got after lunch?" Susan asked.
" Transfiguration."
" Alright then."
We talked for a while and I ate a bit though I wasn't really hungry. We then rushed off to transfiguration and we started copying down the notes on the board and the rest of the class filled in a few moments later and then Professor McGonagall just before the bell. She went to the front of the class. She started the register and I answered my name like usual however she stopped and turned to look at me as did everyone else shocked she had stopped.
" Mr Potter did Madam Pomfrey say you can come to lessons?"
" Yes ma'am."
" Very well but if you need to leave just leave okay?"
" Yes ma'am."
She then went back to the register. We were learning how to change a mouse into a tea cosy though I didn't see the point of doing it. I did it on my first go easily and then just continued doing it over and over again till the end of lesson which was lessons over for the day. We walked down to the great hall for tea but I was still not hungry. We talked about random things and it was fun. I enjoyed myself and my mind was taken straight off my worries. I was relaxed and calm. When we had finished tea it was half five so we all turned to look at each other.
" Shall we go to the Hufflepuff common room?" Susan suggested.
That was what found us sat in the hufflepuff common room twenty minutes later playing snap. All the Hufflepuffs smiled at us when they saw us together talking happily. I liked the Hufflepuffs as they were kind to me however I still loved being in Gryffindor with George, Fred, Lee, Alicia, Angelina and Katie.
That night I fell asleep in the Hufflepuff common room on one of the arm chairs with a headache. Merlin did my head kill. I had closed my eyes and when I woke up again it was the early hours of the morning and Hannah, Susan and Justin were asleep as well so I drifted off again.
George's Pov
" Where is he?" I worried.
" Relax I bet he fell asleep in the Hufflepuff common room." Fred told me.
" But what if he didn't? What if he's hurt somewhere."
" Calm down Georgie."
" But..."
" Leave it."
" Alright alright."
" Good now go and get some sleep." Fred said.
He basically pushed me upstairs and he went to his bed while I went to mine and I could easily tell that he was asleep however it took me ages to fall asleep. I was too busy worrying about Harry but eventually fall asleep I did.
Harry's Pov
I was shaken awake at six o'clock by Justin. He smiled at me and told me the time and I promised I would meet them at breakfast as I had to go back to my dorms to change, brush my hair and to get my bag packed.
I left the Hufflepuff common room and ended up at the Fat Lady and I whispered the password to her before going into my dorms and quickly getting changed in the bathroom. None of my dorm mates were up so by half past six I was out of there with my bag and walking towards the great hall. Hannah and Susan were already there so I went to sit with them. Hannah ended up dumping a whole load of food on my plate and I picked at it until Justin came in and sat down beside me.
" What took you so long?" I asked.
" Nothing."
" Yeah sure." Susan said sarcastically.
" Eat." Hannah said forcing a piece of toast in my mouth and it was a moment after she did that when I was picked up from behind and pulled into a massive hug and I started to panic slightly until I saw Fred next to me and realised I was being hugged by George.
" Oh don't ever worry me like that again." He said pressing his face into my hair.
" Sorry." I whispered.
" No problem Hazza. But where were you?"
" Fell asleep in the Hufflepuff common room."
" Oh alright then."
" Sorry."
" You don't need to keep apologising."
Fred and George both sat down with us at the Hufflepuff table and nobody minded even when Lee joined ten minutes later. After breakfast we went our own ways to our next lessons.
