I've got a review from a guest that I just need to answer. The guest wrote:

: Your English is really bad. Putting that aside, I just can't have any faith in writers who insist on having reader input in their stories. Good writing is 5% inspiration and 95% perspiration. Without the hard work, I feel you are just throwing garbage against a brick wall and expecting a rib-eye steak to bounce back.

The guest wrote after my first chapter. I must agree my English was certainly bad in the first chapters, I hoped to improve it in the next chapters and think it is at least passable right now.

I have both inspiration and perspiration but I like input if some readers want to read something or my take on something they want to see. I keep to my plan but if they want to see something that I haven't thought about or have forgotten. If I use the one that suggested it, they would get the credits for the idea.

If I don't get reviews with ideas okay then my story continues how I want without input from my readers.

And now let's start the chapter.

'Thoughts'

Chapter 16 Hospital wing, the favours and relive the dementors

3rd September 1993, Hospital wing, Hogwarts

Madam Pomfrey was sitting in her office drinking tea after lunch. She was thinking about it two nights ago. When she made sure Ginny and Hermione were alright, she was almost pleasantly surprised when they were doing much better than expected. She wanted to tell Minerva but they both have been busy. Well, at least she could tell her tonight after speaking about her most frequent patient, Harry Potter.

Outside of her office, Harry Potter was sleeping. She hoped that 'he would still sleep this evening because of the dreamless sleep potion but she wasn't sure if he would. After dinner, she was certain Miss Granger, Miss Bones, Miss Greengrass, and Minerva will come to see how Harry is.'

Normally she would have thought Mr. Potter but he was so much time here that they were almost on a first-name basis. She heard some noise outside of her office and walks into the hospital wing to find out what the noise was.

She heard it near Harry and walks toward Harry. She looks and sees a gorgeous white owl trying to get to Harry but the window is closed. Normally she would ignore it or silence the window but somehow, she felt this would be good for Harry she opens the window.

The owl steps inside and takes her place at the top bar of the bed. Hedwig hoots some kind of thanks toward Madam Pomfrey and it looks like the owl is going to sleep. Madam Pomfrey doesn't know what to do so she walks back to her office and was grabbing the parchment where she wrote her findings of Miss Weasley and Miss Granger from two nights ago.

Madam Pomfrey called the elf for the hospital wing Bitsy. Poppy really likes Bitsy. She asked Bitsy for dinner because if she had even one patient, she needed to stay close by and the great hall was too far for her liking. The only problem was that every time Bitsy did something for Poppy Bitsy asked if Madam Poppy was happy with her work and if she could be bound to Bitsy as her personal elf.

Poppy was the matron of the hospital wing so she could bound Bitsy and unbound Bitsy from the hospital wing but Albus forbid her to unbound Bitsy from the hospital wing and as headmaster, she needs to listen. Her oath made her listen.

After dinner, Madam Pomfrey heard that the door in the hospital wing opened. When she looks at who it was, she sees Miss Granger and Miss Weasley. 'It seems Miss Granger told Miss Weasley that Harry was in the hospital wing again' Madam Pomfrey thought.

Miss Granger knows where Harry's bed is so Madam Pomfrey walks back into her office. Miss Granger and Miss Weasley shouted, "Hedwig what are you doing here?"

Hermione and Ginny looked at Hedwig with a shocked expression. Hedwig was woken up by the shout from Hermione and Ginny. She was ready to fight for Harry but stayed where she was when she saw it was Hermione and Ginny.

Hermione and Ginny were talking with each other and after almost 30 minutes the door opens again and they see Katie walking in.

Katie asked, "is Harry alright?"

Hermione responded with "he is asleep right now; I think Madam Pomfrey gave him a dreamless sleep potion."

Madam Pomfrey hears Hermione saying that and smiles 'maybe I would talk with Miss Granger, she maybe likes to learn a bit more about healing but I know of the time-turner so I must at least wait a year. Miss Granger already has too many things to do even with the time turner I would be difficult and because so much is unknown about time turners I don't know if there is a health risk.'

Katie nodded and grabs a chair from one of the other beds and take a seat by Harry's bed. Hedwig was curiously watching the newcomer, Katie. Hedwig doesn't know her but she didn't react because Hermione and Ginny were okay with her being here.

The girls were talking to each other about earlier today and about each other to get to know each other better but keep their voices low to not wake Harry up. After almost an hour the door to the hospital opens again and this time it was Professor McGonagall with Amelia Bones, Susan Bones, Lord Greengrass, Lady Greengrass, Daphne Greengrass, and Astoria Greengrass.

Madam Pomfrey sees this and quickly said "no there are too many Harry needs to rest. There are already visitors but with all of you it would be too much."

Professor McGonagall said, "I understand Poppy would you mind if I, Madam Bones, Lord Greengrass, and Lady Greengrass join you in your office for a drink and that Miss Bones and both Misses Greengrass can visit Mr. Potter."

Both Lord and Lady Greengrass looked shocked, Amelia Bones had a knowing smile and Astoria Greengrass had a large smile. Astoria just like all the other girls grows up hearing everything about Harry Potter she hoped she could meet him this year and even talk to him although her sister said that would never happen especially if she would be a Slytherin what Astoria was. Now Astoria had her chance she hoped.

Madam Pomfrey said "okay but Miss Bones and both Misses Greengrass don't speak too loud Ha- Mr. Potter is still asleep."

Professor McGonagall said, "how do you know Poppy?"

Madam Pomfrey gave a smile and said: "otherwise Mr. Potter would be saying he was fine and would be trying to convince me to release him out of my care."

At that, even Professor McGonagall gave a smile and almost laughed out loud. Madam Pomfrey invited the adults into her office while the girls walked to Harry's bed. When Katie and Ginny saw Daphne, they stand up and said: "what are you doing here?"

At this Hedwig was ready to attack the new girls but before she could attack Hermione stands up and said to Ginny and Katie "Harry saved Susan AND Daphne, but I don't know who the other girl is."

Hermione sees that Hedwig is ready to do something and said smoothly to Hedwig "calm down Hedwig it is okay."

Hedwig gave her a look but Hermione didn't know what Hedwig meant with that look only Harry knows.

She decided to ask "Hedwig could you stay there I am sure nothing will happen with Harry."

Hedwig does nothing for a while and then kind of nods that Hermione hopes that it means that Hedwig will stay where she is and not attack Susan, Daphne, and the other girl.

Astoria not expecting three other girls she doesn't know she was too stunned to say anything. Daphne decided to introduce her when she sees that Astoria was too stunned to say anything. "This is my little sister Astoria, she a first year in Slytherin."

Hermione, Ginny, and Katie already saw that she was a Slytherin. Hermione said the first part awkwardly "okay, nice to meet you Astoria. Good to see you again Susan. What are your parents or in Susan's case Aunt doing here?"

Susan said "because Harry saved us from harm it is normal in the old 'pureblood' ways that we owe him a favour. Because I am the heiress of house Bones and Daphne is the heiress of house Greengrass, it means that our houses also owe Harry a favour. I send auntie what happened and Daphne sent a letter that her parents may want to talk to my aunt to repay the favour."

"What I didn't know was that auntie would come here to make sure I was okay. Lord and Lady Greengrass also came to see if Daphne was alright and, in that way, could also see if Astoria was doing fine and wasn't homesick like many first years" Susan ended.

Susan, Daphne, and Astoria were offered to take a chair and take a seat around Harry's bed. Astoria, before she took her seat, saw Hedwig and said "ah what a beautiful owl" and try to pet her but Hedwig tries to bite her. Lucky Astoria was quick enough to pull her hand back.

Hermione said "yes that is Hedwig Harry's owl, I advise that you don't try to pet her without knowing her or Harry's consent. Hedwig like you saw will bite you if she doesn't know you or Harry didn't allow someone to pet her."

Astoria said, "oh okay I am sorry Hermione."

"Don't say that to Hermione Astoria you should say that to Hedwig?" Susan said.

Astoria and Daphne were looking weirdly at Susan and Daphne decided to say "you say it as Hedwig understands us."

Ginny decided to say "that is because she does. Hedwig is much smarter than common owls. We don't know why but the only one that really understands Hedwig is Harry."

Astoria and Daphne were looking at each other thinking that Hermione, Ginny, and Susan were mental, thinking that an owl can understand everything is ridiculous. Owls only know where to deliver mail. Through this Katie said nothing, she didn't know what to say. She heard it in the common room from Fred and George and she didn't believe it but seeing what she saw she wasn't so sure if she was right to not believe it. Hedwig showed at least more intelligence than common owls that is for sure, but understanding humans and Harry understanding what Hedwig means. It sounds a bit much even for the magical world.

The girls talked for a while about school until the office opened and the adults walked out. Amelia, Jacob, and Isabel walked out and took Susan to Hufflepuff's common room and Daphne and Astoria back to Slytherin's common room. They walked as a group because the common room between Hufflepuff and Slytherin was close to each other.

Nobody speaks, Susan and Daphne didn't want to talk about the attack because they felt they didn't need it and Astoria already told everything when they walked to the hospital wing.

Professor McGonagall stood at the door opening from the office and said "Miss Granger and Miss Weasley you better go back to the common room it is almost curfew. Miss Bell, I don't really know why you are here but if you are not hurt it would be better if you go back to the common room as well." Professor McGonagall saw the girls leave and walk back into the office and close the door to have an important talk with Poppy.

3rd September 1993, Madam Pomfrey's office, Hogwarts

Meanwhile, Madam Pomfrey walked into her office and Professor McGonagall conjures some comfy seats so every adult has a seat. Madam Pomfrey has closed the door and took a seat. She called Bitsy to get some tea because every adult asked for it.

After they got their tea Madam Pomfrey decided to ask "Madam Bones, Lord, and Lady Greengrass what can I do for you?"

Amelia decided to talk first "I wanted to know if Susan really is okay and how Harry is doing."

Jacob immediately interrupted and said "sorry Amelia but you said Susan didn't tell you who saved Susan and Daphne and now you say you wanted to see how Mr. Potter was doing! How did you know it was him?"

Amelia replies"yes Jacob, Susan didn't tell me who it was that saved her and Daphne but the way she wrote and that thing she wrote including you coming to me to ask about something only a few people know I was almost certain that Harry saved them or at least a small change it is a good friend of Harry."

Poppy and Minerva looked at each other with a lost look not knowing what Amelia and Jacob were talking about with Isabel watching and listening closely. Isabel asked after listening "I know we saw Daphne but is she okay?"

Poppy said "both Daphne and Susan are okay, they were in shock when they saw the blood especially when Hagrid placed Harry in his bed, but after a calming potion they were okay. I was planning to give them a dreamless sleep potion that I advise they take to have a good rest this night."

Jacob asked immediately after if someone could tell him what exactly happened. Minerva told him what Daphne told her earlier this day. Jacob said, "this Hagrid should never be allowed to teach."

Minerva was getting mad at that but before she could respond Amelia said "you better not say that to Harry he would not like that and maybe you didn't hear but this was not PROFESSOR Hagrid's fault. Draco Malfoy didn't listen to PROFESSOR Hagrid's instruction to never insult a hippogriff and of course, he did, you know how Lucius Malfoy and his son are."

Amelia continued by asking Madam Pomfrey "Madam Pomfrey was Mr. Malfoy's injury severe?"

"No Madam Bones, I had the scratch fixed within a few minutes. Even if I hadn't healed it, it would heal itself within a week without a problem maybe two weeks tops. Although he may have some trouble with his arm and a bit of stiffness in his arm for a week or two maybe three at the most it could be a sore spot for some time."

Amelia decided to ask about Harry "and what about Harry's injury?"

Madam Pomfrey thought and her face paled. Professor McGonagall noticed that and decided to intervene "Madam Bones with all due respect you have no right to ask that from Madam Pomfrey only me as his head of the house and (magical) guardian is allowed to know after asking it."

Madam Bones knew that and quickly said: "of course Professor McGonagall but because he saved the heiress of house Bones and house Greengrass I should think we are allowed to know and you are here as his head of house it should not be a problem."

Professor McGonagall looked at Madam Pomfrey and saw a look that it wouldn't be wise to share it even with someone as trustworthy as Madam Bones. Professor McGonagall said "I am sorry but I don't want to discuss this with you Madam Bones, Lord Greengrass, and Lady Greengrass present. No offence but before I don't know Harry's preference, I can't discuss it with anyone other than his magical guardian and Madam Pomfrey. His magical guardian is Albus Dumbledore."

Amelia, Jacob and Isabel were not happy with that answer until Isabel asked: "does our daughter and Amelia's niece know?"

Professor McGonagall looked at Madam Pomfrey and indicated that she would know the answer. Madam Pomfrey said, "I think they know what kind of injury he has but I didn't tell them what he has or the extent of it, only that he would be alright after he is well-rested."

Jacob asked, "and would he?"

"Yes, Lord Greengrass he would be better after a rest if he is lucky it would be before Monday but I am not sure right now," Madam Pomfrey said.

Jacob asked, "when could we talk to him?"

Madam Pomfrey said "I made sure he got a dreamless sleep potion earlier today. I don't know when he wakes up. He wakes up today or tomorrow morning, but I make sure he eats and then give him a dreamless or normal sleep potion to try to give him as much rest as possible hoping he can return to class on Monday. But to answer your question Lord Greengrass, not before Sunday evening or Monday."

Professor McGonagall said, "if Madam Pomfrey thinks that is best I agree as to his head of the house."

Amelia, Jacob, and Isabel knew that they couldn't talk to Harry before Sunday unless they could convince headmaster Dumbledore to go against Madam Pomfrey's decision but they all knew that Professor Dumbledore was now in Rome for the ICW that will be held tomorrow before Professor Dumbledore would return for the wizengamot meeting of September 1993.

Madam Pomfrey advised talking with their girls before leaving if the girls wanted to talk about the attack from the hippogriff.

After a few minutes when they were all in thought finishing their tea Amelia, Jacob and Isabel stood up ready to leave. They all said goodbye to Madam Pomfrey and Professor McGonagall. Professor McGonagall also stood up to open the door and tell her Gryffindors to head back to the common room because it was almost curfew.

After everyone left the hospital wing except Harry, Professor McGonagall walked back into Madam Pomfrey's office and took a seat again. She said, "Poppy can you tell me about Harry's injury?"

Minerva needed to know she didn't want to fail Harry again as head of house and god-grandmother.

Poppy said "I prefer not to talk about this Minerva. Harry was really hurt, the wounds on his chest and back were pretty deep and he lost much blood. Harry needed not one, not two, not three but four blood replenishing potions and I don't know if I can keep the wounds from scarring."

Minerva was shocked, a thirteen-year-old boy that is small for his age needed four blood replenishing potions. That was unheard of even a matured man mostly needed two blood replenishing potions and in rare cases, three blood replenishing potions are needed if they were hurt and lost much blood. She didn't know why Harry needed to have four blood replenishing potions.

Poppy continued and said "Harry was also magically exhausted but I don't know why, but that is one of the reasons he needs to rest. I don't know if I can release him on Monday because I don't know why he was magically exhausted, but I will know Sunday evening at the latest."

Minerva said "okay please let me know. Poppy you also discovered something about Miss Granger and Miss Weasley after the dementor attack. You really wanted to explain what you discovered so could you tell me? I got some time now."

Poppy nodded and grabbed the parchment with her findings out of one of her desk drawers. Poppy said "these were my findings. It looks like Miss Granger was just barely affected. She told us that she would never feel happiness again, that she saw her worst memories and the cold I have seen people affected by dementors but she was in better shape. I was almost like she was protected before Professor Lupin cast a Patronus."

Poppy looked back at the parchment before continuing "now Miss Weasley. She was more affected than Miss Granger. Miss Weasley has probably worse memories, especially after last school year. Was has me puzzled is that Miss Weasley was doing remarkably well even though she was affected. I would have thought she would be almost as bad as Harry but she was nowhere close. My best guess is that Miss Weasley like Miss Granger was somehow protected but there were no spells, charms or potions involved. I especially cast diagnostic spells looking for that."

Minerva thought and said "Poppy I was planning on talking with them tomorrow at different times but if you have time tomorrow you can join me and we could ask them if they maybe know something. I will ask them at the same time so you don't have to leave the hospital wing alone for too long when you have a patient. I need to make sure Miss Weasley doesn't talk about Miss Granger's time turner. I hope that it doesn't prove to be a problem."

Poppy said, "okay at what time?"

Minerva said, "I was thinking about 2 pm, is that okay?"

Poppy said, "I don't see a problem with that."

Minerva smiled and said "great but I need to go now my patrol is about to start."

"Okay, Minnie I see you tomorrow at 2 pm in your office."

Minerva stood up and left the office. When she walked through the hospital wing, she decided to see Harry before leaving. She walks towards his bed and saw that Harry was peacefully sleeping and she remembered when Harry was little, he still had the same sleeping face. Minerva smiled at her thought about the past. She turns around walks to the door and then out of the hospital wing starting her patrol.

3rd September 1993, Gryffindor common room, Hogwarts

Hermione, Ginny, and Katie enter the common room. Neville immediately asked how Harry is doing. Hermione said, "he will be fine unfortunately he didn't wake up but I think, Ginny and Katie had a nice talk." Ginny and Katie both nodded at that.

Katie said, "I need to do some homework, goodnight."

Ginny said "okay Katie good night. Hermione and Neville, I am going to bed goodnight."

Hermione said "goodnight Ginny and Katie. Neville where is Ron?"

Neville said, "he already went to bed."

Hermione said, "didn't he want to know how Harry was?"

Neville replied "honestly I don't know. I asked and Ron said he will be fine Harry always is."

Hermione said "but he saw the blood. Harry never bleed that much before."

Neville again replied, "I don't know Hermione that is was Ron said."

Hermione said "okay I am also going to bed I had a long day. Goodnight Neville."

Neville said, "yes Hermione I will also go to bed, goodnight."

A few minutes after Katie sat down to work on her homework Angelina and Alicia sit next to her. Angelina asks "how is Harry?"

Alicia said, "yes how is our little green-eyed, messy raven-haired seeker?"

Katie said "he looks fine but he didn't wake up so I don't know for sure. Madam Pomfrey said this morning that Harry will be fine after some rest so he should be fine in a few days."

The twins and Oliver heard it also and Oliver said "thank Merlin our star seeker is okay. So, he should be able to be ready for the first practice next Saturday?"

Katie nodded "if what Hermione said is true as long as Harry gets a good rest, he should be alright."

Oliver smiled and said "great" before returning to his study. The twins also smiled and returned to one of their inventions or grand schemes with Lee. The girls didn't know but also didn't want to know. Katie continued with her homework and Angelina and Alicia decided to do the same, is was Angelina and Alicia's (and the twins) OWL year after all.

3rd September 1993, Bones Manor

Amelia, Jacob, and Isabel just flooed in from the Three Broomsticks. Amelia said, "and Jacob would you help me?"

Jacob looked at Isabel and said "yes Madam Bones you can count on my vote. Do I need to talk to other houses to make sure there would be at least a vote?"

Amelia thought for a moment "Lord Greengrass if you could secure another vote without giving too much information, I, of course, would be grateful. With the votes that I got, it will probably come to a vote and I don't think the majority want to review the case but with one of two more votes there will not be a vote to review or not review the case."

Jacob said, "I understand I will 'ask' if they vote with me."

Jacob and Isabel said goodnight to Amelia and flooed to Greengrass Manor. Amelia went to bed and decided to work from home the next day to prepare for the wizengamot on Sunday.

4th September 1993, outside Professor McGonagall's office, Hogwarts

It was almost 2 pm and both Hermione and Ginny were just outside Professor McGonagall's office. This morning after breakfast Professor McGonagall changed the time and wanted them both to be at her office at 2 pm. Ginny knocked and they heard an enter.

4th September 1993, Professor McGonagall's office, Hogwarts

Hermione and Ginny walked into the office and took a seat. They greeted Professor McGonagall. Professor McGonagall offered them tea and they accepted. A few minutes later there was another knock. McGonagall said "enter."

The door opened and Madam Pomfrey enter. Professor McGonagall conjured a comfortable seat for Madam Pomfrey and also offered her tea which Madam Pomfrey happily accepted.

"Okay now that everybody had something to drink, I can get to the point but first Miss Granger show Miss Weasley what I gave you two days ago," Professor McGonagall said.

"Professor are you sure? You said that nobody except a few teachers knows about it and that no one else is allowed to know it unless they figured it out."

"I am sure Miss Granger also tell her what it is if Miss Weasley doesn't know."

Hermione turned towards Ginny and said, "Ginny this is a time turner do you know what it is?"

Ginny shook her head she never heard from it.

Hermione said "I am not surprised. Time turners are not common knowledge, what they do and only a few more know that they exist."

Hermione took a large breath and said "time turners can go back in time. As you probably already know from Ron, I got many classes and some are at the same time. I want to attend all the classes so Professor McGonagall requested the time turner for academic purposes and her request was granted. She gave it to me to use."

"I will go to one of the classes first and then after the class, I will go back in time and follow that time the other class. So, I will be in both classes at the same time and that is possible because there are two of me. I was allowed for that and one of two extra hours a week for the amount of homework I get" Hermione said.

"I can go back for more than one hour for the double classes and go back two or three hours for the extra homework. Sorry Professor but I don't if one or two hours is not enough if I need it" Hermione added.

Professor McGonagall "I understand Miss Granger but don't do it every week."

Hermione smiled "I will try Professor."

"Miss Granger if you get too busy with too much work even with the time turner. I want to know!"

"Of course, Professor" Hermione replied.

Professor McGonagall smiled and said "great. Miss Weasley don't forget no one should know unless they figure it out." Ginny nodded that she understands.

Professor McGonagall continued "Miss Granger do your friends or other students suspicious of how you can attend all classes and suspect something?"

"Professor I am almost certain nobody noticed but Harry was looking weird to me after the second time I used it. I don't know if Harry suspects something or it is something else."

Professor McGonagall nodded her head and said "okay Miss Granger please let me know if you are certain Mr. Potter suspects something but first talk to him and try to find out if he knows something before you alert me. You can talk easier to him than outright ask him and if you got a problem maybe Miss Weasley can help you."

"You and if needed Miss Weasley needs to discover if Harry suspects something and if his suspicions are correct. However, I don't know how Harry would know about time turners or anybody else for that matter. Nevertheless, If Harry or anybody else is correct bring him here if not don't correct him, but try to be discreet in using it Miss Granger if someone saw two of you that will give us a big problem and it wouldn't be good for their mental health. So be discreet but don't worry if Miss Weasley sees two of you, she would not have the same reaction but that is because she knows about your time tuner but still watches out even around Miss Weasley."

Both Hermione and Ginny nodded. Hermione also said "of course Professor McGonagall. I promised it when you gave it to me and I will not break the promise just like to only use it on myself and never with someone else."

Professor McGonagall said "okay now the real reason I ask you both to be here at the same time. Poppy if you please?"

Madam Pomfrey said "okay Minerva. After the dementor attack on the train when you were in this office, I cast diagnostic spells. Mr. Potter was quite shaken up but both of you were doing remarkably well. I was looked for multiple answers to explain my findings. I will tell you my findings and hope that one or both of you can shine some light on it or maybe even have the answer to explain my findings."

Madam Pomfrey opened the parchment she had brought and said "okay first Miss Granger. Miss Granger of what you and the diagnostic spells told me you had felt the effects a dementor had. The feeling of never being happy again, the cold that dementors bring with them and that you saw your worst memories. That is normal but you were in much better shape than other people that encountered a dementor. It was almost like you were protected and I don't mean the Patronus charm Professor Lupin cast."

Hermione wanted to say something but Madam Pomfrey continued "for Miss Weasley it was almost the same. Miss Weasley has probably the worst memories only Mr. Potter has worse memories, I think. Miss Weasley was certainly affected but I was puzzled how she could do so remarkably well. My best guess is that Miss Weasley like Miss Granger was somehow protected. But know the most curious is that I also looked for spells, charms or potions but I didn't find anything that could explain it. Do anyone of you care to tell me?"

Hermione and Ginny were looking at each other not talking but it looked like they knew what the other was thinking eventually Ginny sighed and Hermione looked back to Madam Pomfrey and said "Madam Pomfrey first I would like to say I saw bad memories but not my worst, I felt the feeling of losing happiness and felt a small bit of depression and despair and also the cold. I, however, got the feeling that happiness could return even though I didn't think at the moment it could. I was certain even though I felt depression and despair, I just knew happiness could return and probably would."

Ginny continued when Hermione stopped talking "I had some worse and bad memories but my worst memories were somehow protected or suppressed. Still, the memories were pretty bad."

Ginny paled for a moment but continued "just like Hermione I felt the loss of happiness but I doubted if happiness could ever return. Hermione felt it could return, I didn't know if it could return and felt depression and despair for a 'big' part, but no were near what Ron told me he felt. However, I was okay when the dementor fled thanks to Professor Lupin and the chocolate" and 'the protection from Harry's bracelet that he gave me' she thought when she heard what sounded like Hermione saying thanks to the protection of Harry's bracelet that he gave me. (A/N #1)

Ginny glanced at Hermione but when she heard Hermione, Hermione didn't move her mouth and said nothing. Ginny thought 'I am imagining things I am sure; Hermione didn't say anything I just thought she felt the same because she also has a bracelet.'

Madam Pomfrey wrote down what Hermione and Ginny added and explained. "However, this still doesn't answer the question of what is or caused the protection?"

Again, Hermione and Ginny looked at each other until Hermione suddenly said: "Ginny we need to tell them."

Ginny shook her head and said, "no you remember what he said."

Hermione responded "but this is Professor McGonagall and Madam Pomfrey. I am sure he wouldn't mind."

Professor McGonagall and Madam Pomfrey were looking at each other and thought 'who is this he what Miss Weasley and Miss Granger talking about?'

Ginny said, "I know that we are talking to Professor McGonagall and Madam Pomfrey but I think he wanted to at least know we want to tell them and if he wanted to object, we could talk about it."

Hermione immediately said, "but he can't now."

Ginny responded "I know, but I don't want him to get angry for not asking his opinion. Or waiting until he could give his opinion."

Hermione and Ginny were looking at each other again and again said nothing until after a few more minutes Ginny sighed and said "fine Hermione but I blame you if he doesn't like it."

Hermione thought for a minute and then said "Professor McGonagall and Madam Pomfrey we can tell you but you need to promise not to tell anyone."

Professor McGonagall and Madam Pomfrey looked at each other and Madam Pomfrey decided to ask the question she and Minerva wanted and needed to know. "First we want to know who he is."

Hermione said, "he is Harry."

Madam Pomfrey said "Mr. Potter, what did he do this time?"

Ginny still didn't like it and said: "we need your promise to not tell anyone outside of this room except Harry but not even Professor Dumbledore."

Professor McGonagall and Madam Pomfrey weren't sure but Professor McGonagall said: "if it doesn't is dangerous to you or the other students, I don't think we have to tell him our oath only said that we need to warn him if it endangers the school and its students and staff."

Hermione said "Ginny not even Professor Dumbledore?"

"Yes, Hermione not even Professor Dumbledore. You want to tell them then I say only the people in this room. Anyone else Harry needs to decide."

Hermione wanted to disagree but knew that Ginny wouldn't bulge and was right that Harry should at least be able to object and they will reconsider it then. Hermione reluctantly said, "okay Ginny I understand."

Ginny just nodded and Hermione continued "earlier this summer Harry gave me something and on the 30th of August Harry gave Ginny something similar." Both at the same time pulled up the sleeve of their left arm and showed the bracelets.

Hermione told Professor McGonagall and Madam Pomfrey why Harry got them, explained about the runes and the protection and also what Harry said about letting other people know. Hermione didn't tell Professor McGonagall and Madam Pomfrey that there was believed there was a connection between the bracelets mostly because she was sure Ginny wouldn't like that and she thinks Harry also wouldn't like that. She also felt that Harry didn't mind Professor McGonagall and Madam Pomfrey knowing but wanted to know first before telling them. She was wondering how she would know that even if she knew Harry well.

Madam Pomfrey thought and said "that could explain the protection and the lack of spells, charms or potions. Can I look at the bracelets?"

Ginny nodded and showed her the bracelet and after that Hermione did the same. Madam Pomfrey asked "could you both take them off? Then I could get a better look."

Ginny heavily shook their head, but Hermione said "okay."

Before Hermione could take her bracelet off Ginny grabbed her arm and said: "sorry we can't we promised Harry we don't take them off." She felt Harry was happy with how she responded.

Madam Pomfrey said "it is only for a minute or two. After that, you can put the bracelets on again."

Hermione was listening to the authority figure Madam Pomfrey but Ginny didn't want to break her promise to Harry. She was thinking and said, "couldn't we wait until Harry wakes up and then ask him if it is okay to break his promise because Madam Pomfrey asked?"

Madam Pomfrey and Professor McGonagall understand Ginny's hesitation and didn't want to push them, especially Ginny and nodded. Professor McGonagall said, "okay we wait until Harry is awake and ask if he minds you breaking the promise so Madam Pomfrey can look at the bracelets, including maybe myself and Professor Babbling."

Ginny quickly said "that is okay" happy that she didn't need to break her promise.

Hermione felt that Harry wouldn't mind except for Professor Babbling. Hermione said "I think Harry won't mind you and Madam Pomfrey, Professor McGonagall but he doesn't want Professor Babbling to look at the bracelets. Only the people in this room."

Professor McGonagall said "we ask Harry after he has rested. Poppy when Harry is rested enough could you let me, Miss Granger and Miss Weasley know?"

Madam Pomfrey said, "I will let you know Minerva and also Miss Granger and Miss Weasley."

Professor McGonagall gave a small smile and said: "okay now we talked about the dementor attack I want to know how you are both doing these first days."

Hermione immediately started talking about her classes, and what she liked and Professor McGonagall stopped Hermione before she could continue "Miss Granger I want to know if you still want to follow all the electives and if you do, that you have enough time for the homework without using the time turner. Also, if nobody saw two or almost two of you."

Hermione said "sorry Professor McGonagall. I like all the electives I only hope that the next time we have care of magical creatures Malfoy listens to Professor Hagrid and does not on purpose disrupt the class. Because of him, Harry got hurt. I don't need the time tuner to complete all homework until now and I am certain nobody saw two of me."

Professor McGonagall smiled and asked "Miss Granger if anything's come up just let me or Madam Pomfrey know. Miss Weasley what about you?"

Ginny smiled while saying "the first day some were weary but after the first day they noticed that I was different from last year, good different my year says. The Gryffindors from my year are talking to me and some from the other houses except Slytherin of course. I think this year goes well so far and I think I can become friends with people from my year. It is weird though Colin was petrified last year, but doesn't blame me at all and even wants to get to know me."

Professor McGonagall was happy that both were doing very well. Both of them were certainly some of her favourite cubs and students she ever had the pleasure to really know even though Hermione was a muggleborn, her parents talked about Hermione and her family when she came to introduce Hermione to the wizarding world, so Professor McGonagall almost knows as much about Hermione as she did about Ginny. She was 'good' friends with the Weasley's after all.

Professor McGonagall took a deep breath and said "I also want to talk about the dementor attack but especially about the memories that you both heard. Frist Ginny, could you tell me again what you heard?"

Ginny hoped Professor McGonagall forgot but she wasn't that lucky. Ginny without knowing it said exactly the same as Professor McGonagall the first time "I heard myself crying in my room and here in my dorm that I was alone and nobody cared about me even my brothers did but especially that Harry doesn't even know I existed also somebody saying that Harry would never want to be my friend, a friend for a silly little girl and would never love me, certainly not how I love him." Ginny again had watery eyes because she was almost shedding tears but quickly wipe them away.

Professor McGonagall said, "exactly like you told me after the attack." Hermione thought 'so that was why it look she cried when she left Professor McGonagall's office.'

Professor McGonagall continued saying "Ginny that wasn't true. Harry is your friend now and Hermione too. You cannot force him to love you romantically. I am sure he will love you but we can't be sure that he would love you the same way."

"NO" Ginny shouted. The memory was from last year. The dorm was here and my room was last summer. The thought of loving Harry was before the chamber. After the chamber, my love changed."

Professor McGonagall asked confused "so you don't love Harry anymore?"

Ginny blushed and said, "I don't love Harry Potter, the-boy-who-lived anymore but I love Harry, the-boy-who-saved-me and IS REAL." The last two words she almost shouted again. She hadn't known the real Harry long but she already was in love with the real Harry. It took months before she fell in love with the thought of Harry Potter and even when her mother told her every night before sleeping a story about Harry Potter, within a few days, she loved the real Harry.

Hermione smiled that Ginny loved Harry for Harry, 'Harry deserved that happiness a girl loves Harry for Harry, not his fame. But why does it hurt her when Ginny said it. Sure, she loved Harry but as a sister nothing more, right? Was it Harry t.-' Hermione was brought to her thoughts when she heard her name.

Professor McGonagall said for the second time "Hermione?"

Hermione looked up and said "sorry Professor McGonagall I was lost in thought. Could you repeat what you said?"

"I said that you are Ginny's friend just like Harry is her friend and that Fred and George according to Professor Lupin went looking for you to make sure you were not hurt. I am sure that her parents talked to them and Ginny said they did, but you didn't respond" Professor McGonagall said.

Hermione said "of course, I am your friend Ginny and I that won't change easily. Also, you are never alone again Ginny. If you ever need to talk, I am here, and so is Harry. I think you can also talk to Susan and even Katie. " Ginny smiled at what Hermione said and Professor McGonagall decided to ask Hermione what she heard.

"Hermione what did you hear" Professor McGonagall ask.

Hermione said, "memories out of my youth and some things Ron said but when I saw Harry most of the bad memories disappeared." At the end of the sentence, she was smiling.

Professor McGonagall asks "could you elaborate Miss Granger?" Hoping that the authority would work because Hermione didn't elaborate immediately after saying what she saw.

Hermione said, "it isn't important."

Professor McGonagall and Madam Pomfrey weren't happy with that but it was Hermione's choice to elaborate or not. Professor McGonagall found it time to end this meeting and said "Miss Weasley I would like us to have at least once a month a cup of tea, I prefer every week in the short run at least until Christmas and after that, we can decide where we go from there. I think every Saturday at around 2 pm except Hogsmeade weekend then Sunday or if you have a free period when I have one could also work but like I said only when it is Hogsmeade weekend otherwise it is Saturday 2 pm."

Ginny just nodded. She thought that 'it maybe was a good idea, her parents advised her to talk to somehow so who better than her head of house who knows her family and the people in her life including Harry.'

Professor McGonagall said "Miss Granger if there are no problems, I don't think we have to meet but I would like you to accompany Ginny sometimes when she comes here to talk. But Miss Granger if you need to talk to someone please don't hesitate and come to me or Madam Pomfrey or both. If I am not here there is a big chance that I am in my classroom, in the hospital wing talking with Madam Pomfrey, with Professor Flitwick or Professor Sprout two to the other head of houses and if not then I am most surely talking with other professors in their office or the headmaster but I, unfortunately, can't talk at that time."

Hermione nodded and said 'thank you, Professor McGonagall."

After talking with Hermione and Ginny Madam Pomfrey said that she needed to return to the hospital wing to check on Mr. Potter and Hermione and Ginny asked if they could come in case Harry was awake. Madam Pomfrey nodded and Hermione and Ginny said goodbye to Professor McGonagall and followed Madam Pomfrey.

4th September 1993, Hospital wing, Hogwarts

Madam Pomfrey entered the hospital wing with Hermione and Ginny following her. Madam Pomfrey called for Bitsy. Bitsy appeared when she walked away from where Harry's bed was. Madam Pomfrey asked, "Bitsy what were you doing there?"

Bitsy answered "Bitsy heard Mr. Potter awaking and went to give him lunch like Mistress Poppy wanted Bitsy to if Mr. Potter awoke when Mistress Poppy wasn't here. When Mr. Potter was done Bitsy gave Mr. Potter a sleep potion and blood replenishing potion and Mistress Poppy said that Mr. Potter's wounds needed to heal and apply another ointment to try to stop them from scarring. Bitsy used magic to make sure that Mr. Potter's wounds are fully closed and applied the other ointment. Bitsy is sorry if Bitsy shouldn't."

Madam Pomfrey said "it is okay Bitsy, you did well. Is Mr. Potter asleep right now?"

'Yes mistress, Bitsy was just done applying the ointment, but Bitsy is afraid the wounds will leave scars. Bitsy is sorry" Bitsy replied looking ashamed at the floor.

Madam Pomfrey saw that and said, "Bitsy it isn't your fault, I also hoped it didn't but I was almost certain it would scar. You and me, we tried our best."

Bitsy looked up smiling and wanted to pop out, but before Bitsy said anything and popped out Madam Pomfrey asked: "did anyone else come here Bitsy?"

Bitsy said "yes Mistress Poppy a Mr. Longbottom, Miss Bell, Miss Bones, Miss Abbot, two Misses Greengrass and a Miss Davis. There were two other misses but they didn't say their name and left quickly when Bitsy asked for their name."

"Only visitors I assume no one needed healing?"

"No Mistress Poppy. Mr. Longbottom, Miss Bell, Miss Bones, and Miss Abbot were here at the same time and then two misses Greengrass and Miss Davis were visiting Mr. Potter and left about 15 minutes before Mr. Potter woke up and in the 15 minutes, two misses came for Mr. Potter as well but didn't want to say their name and quickly left. Did Bitsy do well?"

"Yes, Bitsy you did," Madam Pomfrey said.

Bitsy replied "thank you mistress Poppy. Bitsy will return to the kitchen if mistress Poppy needs Bitsy just call for Bitsy."

Madam Pomfrey looked at Hermione and Ginny and said "Miss Granger and Miss Weasley I am sorry but I think you can better go; Harry probably won't wake up today. I would come tomorrow around lunch I think he will be awake then. If he wakes up sooner and he isn't in pain or anything I won't give him a sleep potion and you can talk to him."

Hermione and Ginny both smiled and said together "thank you Madam Pomfrey." Madam Pomfrey smiled, what they all three didn't know was that one girl was listening outside of the door and quickly walks away when she heard Hermione and Ginny approach the door.

Let's end here. I hope you all like the chapter and story, please read and review. The offer still stands of course.

In the next chapter, Amelia will be to review the case presenting it in the wizengamot. Who will support her and who doesn't?

How will Harry react when he hears that had three favours left? What will he do?

Who would be there when he wakes up? Who will know and come by? Who was spying on Hermione and Ginny or was she spying on Harry?

These next (few) chapters will only contain a few days at most. I expect that soon the chapters after those will cover more time (or at least hope so).

A/N #1 I know that is a previous chapter I told Hermione and Ginny felt different (chapter 13) but this is better for my story in the long run. I will have fixed that to be similar to this.
