Not good enough

Hospital Wing 3

19/01/21 - 03/04/21 (Yeah I just lost myself and finally returned)

Author's POV

Once Draco had been wrapped with bandages and his wounds had been treated accordingly, Cedric exited the Hospital Wing to allow Madam Pomfrey to tend to her patients. 

Madam Pomfrey didn't find Draco's condition much struggle since she had dealt with much worse, let's take regrowing all the bones in an arm for example. Ron's condition however was going to take some more time to treat and heal. He had so many injuries it was too much to deal with at once. She worked her way through the injuries, tending the major ones at first. Ron's face had been badly beaten up, a bloody, swelling nose; a black eye, and a torn lip.

Harry who had woken up with a jolt, Ron on his mind every second, even in his nap. The jolt caused him to fall off the hospital bed with a creak and muffle thump. Ron who had been lying in the bed beside him faced him in his deep sleep. The injuries were ghastly but that's just the results which can't be changed.

I bet you're thinking, "What about a time-turner?" Well...no. I'd say, it'd be too cruel and wrong to go back and change the earlier events of that day. If I could, I would because I'd want to. I wouldn't be thinking about how these events would lead to a change in the relationship between Ron and Harry. I wouldn't be thinking about how the brunette would be faced with something he never suspected and the redhead would be stuck in the centre of it all. But even so, I know I would turn back time. However, this story isn't about me, is it? 

Harry's POV

I'm sorry Ron. If I could have just got there before them this would have never happened. I can't help you when you already have Madam Pomfrey by you, what can I do that she can't. Whereas if you put it the other way 'What can she do that I can't?' That's an obvious one isn't it...a lot more than one would think. 

I swear to fucking Merlin, the next time I see you, I'll make sure you won't be breathing Malfoy. Wtf is wrong with this goddamn school. Why do you all hate Ron so much and why did no one try to protect him. Neville maybe but...why? What did he ever do wrong? Be my friend? Is that really such a sin?

"ry..arry...Harry...HARRY!" Madam Pomfrey yelled.

I looked up at her with blurred eyes..wait..blurred eyes? I lifted my hands up to my face and felt tear-streaked cheeks. I had been crying I guess...must have dazed off.
