_Harry POV_

Madam Pomfrey continued placing tests on me for another 10 min or so. Though, I really wanted to go back to sleep. I felt my eyelids closing slightly, but I knew I had to stay awake for Madam Pomfrey to give me a proper check up, and I knew she wouldn't be pleased if I fell asleep on her. So, I decided to start a conversation, I still didn't know the reason I am back in the Hospital Wing. 

"Madam Pomfrey, Remus said it's good to have me back. Why did he say that? How long have I been asleep? What happened to me? Why am I back in the Hospital Wing?" 

Madam Pomfrey looked at me with sympathy before saying, "You really don't remember what happened on Halloween? Or the days after?" 

I tried recalling what happened on Halloween, but my mind drew a blank. I only thing that I remembered was that Ron, Hermione and I had spent the day before Halloween out by the black lake. 

I shook my head in reply. "What day is it now?"  

Madam Pomfrey hesitated before saying quietly, "It's the 23 of January." 

I couldn't believe my ears. It's been 3 months? 

"I was unconcious for 3 months?" 

"Worse my dear, you were stuck in a coma. Unfortunately, I could not bring you out of your coma state because there has been no spell to do so. Not only that, but the reason you were in a coma in the first place was because Voldemort hit you with a spell that caused your body to go into a coma. Your previous injuries did not help at all." 

"What?" I was so confused. Voldemort? I didn't even remember seeing Voldemort at all. 

"I was with Voldemort?" I was starting to panic. Why didn't I remember any of this? Was something wrong with my mind? 

"Oh dear. You really don't remember anything that happened?" 

I shook my head in reply.

Madam Pomfrey then mumbled, "I thought talking a bit about Voldemort would help him remember, but apparently not. I bet he used the cruciatus curse." 

"He used the cruciatus curse on me?" I asked surprised. Surely I would have remembered that right? After the tournament, I still had nightmares about that night at the graveyard. 

"Oh! You weren't supposed to hear anything I just said. Well um.. we have to wait for Dumbledore to arrive. He should be here soon though since I got Mr Lupin to call him." Madam Pomfrey said. "You need rest Mr Potter, your body is still very weak. I can finally heal your broken bones now." 

Broken bones? I'm not in any major pain though? 

"I broke my bones? More than one? I don't really feel much pain right now though. I'm just really tired." 

"No pain? I did have you drink a pain relieving potion, but it should still be relatively painful." Poppy said surprised, but she looked really worried.

"Isn't it a good thing that I'm not feeling any of the pain?" I asked, confused as to why she looked worried. 

She sighed before replying, "Let's just say you have developed a really high tolerance of pain over these few months." 

The doors of the Hospital Wing opened and Dumbledore came in quickly. Before the doors could close, I saw Hermione and Ron outside, along with the four figures that were at my side when I woke up. 

I wanted to talk to them so badly, but knew that the headmaster would want to speak with my first. I felt so bad for making Ron and Hermione worried. When I caught their gazes, they looked so tried yet relived. Though they looked like they haven't had a proper night's sleep in a while. That made me feel really guilty, even though I still don't know the full details of what I got myself into. 

When the door fully closes, I look at Dumbledore instead, seeing as my friends are gone from my view. 

"Good afternoon Harry. It's good to see you awake after a long time." 

"Hello Professor Dumbledore." 

"Poppy, may I speak with you please?" Madam Pomfrey nodded almost instantly, it seemed like she had something urgent to tell him. 

"Very well. Harry, you may talk to your friends while Poppy and I have a little chat." 

I smiled slightly, still feeling exhausted. Even though I have technically been asleep for 3 months, my body felt as if it hadn't had good night's rest in years. 

Dumbledore then used his wand to open the doors, giving Hermione and Ron permission to enter. 

When I looked out the door, I noticed that Remus and the other three people were gone from the entrance. I wondered where they went. 

If Remus is here under a disguise, could Sirius be under one too? But then who were the other two? 

Before I could let my thoughts wander, I was met with Hermione's bushy hair right in my face as she gave me a hug. 

The hug she gave my hurt my ribs, but I didn't complain, knowing she probably missed me. 

"Nice to see you too Hermione." I smiled. 

"Oh Harry! You had both of us so worried. The morning after our fight, we couldn't find you anywhere! And when we did, you were surrounded by death eat-" 

"Ms Granger, Harry has no memory of recent events." Madam Pomfrey interrupted her, not wanting to confuse Harry any more. "Now, I will come back once Albus and I are done and you two will have to leave to give him rest." She said strictly. 

Both Ron and Hermione nodded, both looking shocked at the fact that Harry has no memory of what happened. 

When Madam Pomfrey and Dumbledore left, Ron spoke up. 

"Good to have you back, mate!" 

"Nice to see you too, Ron." I replied smiling. 

I missed my two best friends a lot, even though I don't remember what happened in the past 3 months. 

Ron and Hermione shared a look before Hermione said, "You really don't remember anything from that night? Anything at all?" 

I tried thinking back to what happened after we sat together at the black lake, but I couldn't think of anything. 

"All I remember is that we sat together by the Black Lake and then I woke up here in the Hospital Wing. Sorry guys." 

"Oh." Was all Hermione said, both her and Ron looked very concerned and worried. 

"Can you tell me then? What happened? Madam Pomfrey mentioned something about Voldemort and the cruciatus curse, but nothing else." 

"Well um.." Hermione started.

Meanwhile, In Madam Pomfrey's office

_Third Person_ 

"Dumbledore, he has no memory anything, and he seems to have developed a lot of pain tolerance." Madam Pomfrey started. 

"Poppy," Dumbledore started, "Severus has told me that Potter has been treated rather badly over those two weeks. You see.."
