The Chronicles of Savanna Black

Chapter 9 - Fred, George and Savanna

(SAVANNA's POV)

"Can't I go?" I asked Madam Pomfrey the moment she came over to serve my breakfast.

"I'm afraid, I'm keeping you with Mr. Potter for the rest of the weekend." Madam Pomfrey answered.

"W-what?" Harry asked, slowly sitting up on his bed.

"You heard me right, Mr. Potter." Madam Pomfrey said and picked up a blanket beside Harry's bed and studied what looked like to be the remains of a broken broom. "We should throw these out." she added.

"I've not no complaints of staying here the rest of the weekend, just don't throw them." Harry said and Madam Pomfrey sighed. 

"Alright, but you are staying." she told Harry and looked at me. 

"Fine, I'm staying." I said and she beamed.

"Seems like yesterday, I both have your fathers in this very wing." Madam Pomfrey said, smiling and standing between Harry and I. Harry and I looked at each other. 

Madam Pomfrey left after giving out instructions for both Harry and me. We both had our breakfast in comfortable silence. 

"Which Slytherin finally got you, Sav?" Harry asked as he put his spoon down. I looked at him and smiled.

"They only wish they got me." I answered and smiled widely and then turned my face into a more serious expression. "What happened to you, Harry?" I asked.

"Dementors." he answered and looked away. I could tell he was ashamed about it.

"You're not the only one who has problems with them." I said.

"But.." Harry began but I shook my head and he fell silent.

"This summer, just before school started, before I got to the Leaky Cauldron, dementors attacked me and my uncle. I was this close to dying." I said.

"Sorry, Sav." Harry said and reached out to squeeze my hand. "At least you're alive, now. And I know people have never been nice to you but you and I are good."

"We are?" I asked, looking at him and he chuckled.

Before he could answer, however, Hagrid showed up to visit him. I excused myself and headed to the bathroom. When I came back, Hagrid was gone and instead, I found Ginny, blushing and handing Harry a get well soon card. 

"Hi, Sav." Ginny greeted and I smiled. "Bye, Sav." she said, before I could even reply.

 While Harry was trying to get rid of the noise that came from Ginny's get well soon card, I reached a book that I have borrowed from the library, thanks to Professor Lupin's help, opened it and began to read.

(GEORGE's POV)

"Oi, George! Fred!" Oliver Wood called out and Fred and I stopped walking and turned to look at him.

"You called?" Fred and I both asked. 

"Come on, let's visit Harry." he said as our other teammates made their way towards us.

"We were just heading there." Fred said.

"You're going to see Harry?" Angelina asked.

"Yeah and Savanna too." I answered and Alicia and Katie exchanged a look.

"Look, we know that you all think we're mad for sticking with Savanna, but if you actually give her a chance, she's amazing, funny and really nice. Besides.." Fred began and I could feel an impending confession that's got to do with me.
