Thanks to all my readers! Now, on with the show!

Hermione, Ron, Ginny, Luna, and Neville were waiting in a corridor. Hermione was pacing.

"I really hope Harry can push through." She said for the thousandth time.

"He is Harry Potter; he will make it. Just come sit down 'Moine." Ron assured her. But he was wringing his hands.

Ginny was stroking Crookshanks who had shown up. Silent tears slipped down her rosy cheeks. Her wand was scratching the big cat behind his ears. A deep purr was the loudest sound.

And across from them sat Luna and Neville. Luna had a caring arm around his shaking shoulders.

"It will be alright Neville, Harry is strong. He will make it through." She whispered to him.

"When do you think we can see him?" Ron posed. "It has been hours." Hermione came and sat down with Ron.

"I don't know, but I would wait for years, he's, our friend. We must be there for him."

Ginny spoke up. "Are any of you going to talk about the fact that the flipping Cruciatus Curse was used on him!" She cried. "We need more witnesses if we want Umbridge to go to Azkaban! The Ministry would never believe just us. They would be on Umbridge's side. I was thinking about the Industrial Squad, they were there too, they saw the whole thing."

Then a group of Hufflepuffs walked through the halls. They were talking quietly, completely oblivious to what had happened only hours earlier. But on short and perky Hufflepuff girl saw Hermione.

"Hey! 'Moine! What are all of you doing here?" The brunette asked.

"Hey Susan, it is a long story. I will catch up with you later, okay?" Hermione answered.

Susans's face changed when she heard Hermione's sad tone. "You can tell me." She turned to the other Hufflepuffs. "You can go on without me." They shrugged and kept walking.

"No, I don't want to bother you with it." Hermione tried to reason. Susan came and sat down. Hermione looked to the Gryffindors and Ravenclaw around her. They just shrugged at her, saying with their bodies, it is alright, we trust her.

Hermione cleared her throat. "It is about Harry."

Susan sat down and Hermione let all of her worries and fears, and the rest of the story just roll out, with that she felt the knot beneath her ribcage die down. Susan was shocked and cried at a few parts. But she let Hermione finish.

"I will be here with you and Harry the whole way!" Susan Bones gave each one of them the biggest hug she could. She knew how hard it could be, knowing a friend is hurt. She, herself, had lost someone close to suicide. And she knew how comforting it is to have someone by your side.

They were sitting quietly when Snape and Dumbledore came and gave them the wonderful news that Harry was up for visiting.

"Do you want to come Susan? You don't have to." Hermione held her hand out.

"I will come." She grabbed the hand. Hermione then reached with her left hand to Ron who took it and turned a red color.

"Come Neville, Harry is ready to see us." Luna said gently to the pale Neville.

"What if he doesn't know who we are?" he asked fearfully.

"Then we will help him remember." Ginny stood up and started walking. Everyone followed.

The walk to the Hospital wing was longer than ever. But when they reached the big double doors, they just stood there. Hermione let go of Susan's hand and put her hand on the door. She hesitated for a second, then pushed.

Madam Pomfrey was giving him eyedrops for his bad eye. To keep it from getting infected, she said. As fro his eye, he saw nothing out of it now. Not a black screen, nothing. He had his head tilted upward as sweet-smelling drops were placed in his eye. He blinked until he could feel them soak in.

"Could I walk? I am feeling restless." Harry asked. Madam Pomfrey thought about this.

"You should be able to. Your vision is now impaired, so take it easy and slow. Your muscles might also be weak."

"Alright thanks." He took the covers off his legs and slowly turned over to the side. He put his bare feet to the cold marble floor. He carefully put his weight on his legs. He was shaking but he was standing.

It was crazy the amount of effort it took to do this simple task. Harry took a deep breath and timidly took a step.

"Ahh!" Harry was surprised. His foot had hit a desk that was in his blind spot, and it surprised him. "Oh, it was nothing Madam Pomfrey! I just stubbed my toe." He reassured when Poppy looked at him. She nodded and continued to gather herbs and potions.

Harry turned to the main space, where he wouldn't stub any more toes. He took a few more shaky steps. There were sweat beads gathering on his forehead. He grabbed the smooth iron bedpost at the end of the bed. He was resting when the door slowly opened.

Hermione's bushy hair peaked around the corner.

"Hermione?" Harry called out. He felt happiness spread through his chest. Chasing away some of the hurt.

"Harry?" Ron poked around the corner with a big smile on his face. "Come guys?" He rushed towards Harry. Everyone else followed.

"You're up and at it!" Susan laughed.

"Yeah, I am, your Susan Bones, right?" Harry asked.

"Yep, the one and only." She smiled.

"Well hello Susan." Harry smiled back for the first time in hours. "If you all don't mind, I need to sit down." Harry walked back and sat down on the bed. A shaky hand wiped the sweat that was dripping into his eye.

Ron took a breath, "I don't know about anyone else, but I was bloody worried for you. I mean anyone would be really, after what happened."

"Could you really not remember us?" Neville spoke up. Harry looked down as some red swept to his pale cheeks.

"I think I am doing better now. But, yeah, I could only…only remember some other things. It was weird." He kept his eyes averted.

"Can you not see out of your eye that is grey?" Luna pondered. She was still holding Neville's hand. He was holding back.

"Harry looked up slightly. He gave a sad laugh. "Yeah, Pomfrey can't fix it. I guess I am blind." A stray tear slipped down his cheek.

Ginny came and rubbed his should gently. Harry flinched back slightly but hid it by scratching his head.

"Well, you look more devilish this way." Luna chimed.

"Yeah." Susan agreed.

The group sat and talked. Sharing their parts of the story. Harry saying sorry for dragging them in. Them telling harry he is mental if they think Harry is the one who needs to be sorry.

Harry felt happy.
