Here it is!

Chapter 8

The next morning Harry woke up, still as stiff as a board, to the sound of the annoying nurse from the day before coming into the room. The shrill sound of her voice penetrated the silence… "I think it's about time you wake up, dear." She said. Harry sat up in bed, but winced in pain as he did. The nurse, seeing the expression on his face said, "Ohhhhh now let me come help you. Just give me one second!" She skidded her way over to the smoky gray medicine cabinet which was to the left of his bed, and pulled out a rather large container of pills. She dumped 2 out in her hand, and fetched a cup of water and brought it over for Harry to take.

"Thanks" he said, as he swallowed hard, feeling the pills go all the way down his throat.

The nurse smiled down upon him. She was a very nice lady but it did rather irritate Harry that she talked him as though he were 3. "You doing all right, honey?" she asked. "You need anything else?"

"Oh I'm fine, really, thanks"

"Ok then" she said still standing by his bed. For a moment she just stood there smiling but before long her face gradually fell and became more of a concerned look. She glanced around the room nervously and then looked back at him and asked, "So how were things with Dan yesterday?"

'I know that guy told her everything, she is just playing dumb.'

"Oh right," Harry said, "It went ok, why?"

Once again the nurse looked rather uncomfortable. "Well," she said, "He told me some things…he said he didn't think you were being entirely truthful with him."

She waited.

Harry knew he was going to have to tell her… heck, he'd rather tell her than 'Dan'. He took a deep breath, "He asked me if anyone abused me and I told him'no'."

"I see," she said… "And were being truthful?"

Harry tore his eyes away from her and stared at the wall beside him "No…I wasn't." He said softly. The room was quieter than ever. After a few moments the nurse walked over and sat down on the edge of his squeaky little mattress. "It's okay; you're in good hands here." She promised. "And Dan can really help you with this type of thing"

Harry's head jerked back up.

"Dan?" he asked incredulously "Dan?!?" He was getting angry. "No,…I'll get help, I'll get better, I'll go to those little therapy sessions that he was talking about about, but I don't want to tell 'Dan' anything about what happened!"

"Why not? He's actually very good."

Harry thought to himself…'Why not?...He didn't even know, why not! That man just rubbed him the wrong way.' Harry calmed down a bit before asking her… "Please?"

"I will try to make some arrangements" she said. Harry couldn't tell whether she was being truthful or just telling this to make him calm down. She got up from the bed and strolled over to the door. "It's a good thing you told us though, now you can truly start your recovery. Now, you know I'm going to have to talk to some people about this but everything will be alright, Oh Yes and that's right… you will have to attend therapy; it is after all, the policy. But you won't have to go until you're all physically healed. Now you just rest some more, dear. Try and clear your mind some and just give me a call if you need anything." She turned and she was gone.

Harry was alone in his room for several hours. He had watched TV, slept a little, and just sat there in silence thinking everything over. It must have been late afternoon around four o 'clock when there was a wrap on the door. Once again it was none other than the nurse. Harry was just expecting her to ask him the usual questions about how he was feeling and if he was hungry, etc; but instead she cracked the door open about a foot and stuck her head in and said "Wake up! You've got visitor!" She seemed really happy about it… 'Oh great!' Harry thought 'Another psychiatrist! Just what I need!' Harry waited lying motionless in his bed.

The door swung open, and revealed that last person Harry was expecting…

CLIFFY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Just kidding!!!!!!!

In walked through the door, looking more out of place than ever was Dumbledore! Albus Dumbledore! He was wearing long green corduroy pants, a dark blue sweatshirt, and coffee brown shoes. He still had on his half moon spectacles, his rather long white beard, and his crooked nose seemed almost more crooked than ever. Even with his muggle attire he stood out like a sore thumb.

Dumbledore took a couple large strides into the room and stopped when he saw Harry lying there. He had a sad look on his face but still managed to give Harry a small smile as he looked down at the shattered boy.

The nurse jumped out from behind Dumbledore. "Ta-Da!" She shouted smiling big at Harry. She was back to her annoying voice again. "Isn't it great Harry!?! Look who came to visit you! It's your grandpa!!!"

Harry couldn't help but smile at this. "Errrr yea!" he said "Thanks!"

The nurse looked between the Harry and Dumbledore, "Now Harry," she said, "If you want I can stay and supervise unless you're comfortable with me leaving you two alone…"

"It's okay. I can manage"

"Ok then!" she said smiling and turned and skipped out of the room.

Harry looked back at Dumbledore. His smile had disappeared off his face. He looked more concerned than ever and the wrinkles on his face seemed to stand out even more too. Harry on the other hand was relieved to see a friendly face from the wizarding world and knew he wasn't lost anymore.

Ummm don't know if I can update again till the weekend.
