Running Away

Chapter 15 - Say Yes and A trip to the Hospital.

Hadrian stared at the gargoyle, contemplating whether he was to go up or not. He knew he had to, but he truly hated that office.

Opening the oak door, Harry walked inside. Seeing Minerva with files on her table before her, he gave a small smile when she raised her head to look at him. Her eyes brightened at the sight of him, rising to her feet, she gestured to the seat before her.

"What can I do for you, Harry?"

Sighing, Harry shook his head. "I can't believe I am saying this..." He muttered and rubbed his chin. Minerva felt her heart stop in her chest, breathing catching in her lungs and eyes widening slowly with each passing second. "I accept the offer for the job position as Defence against the Dark arts teacher, and head of Slytherin hous-"

"OH REALLY!?"

Harry blinked in surprise. "Yes... I apologise that it had taken me this long to come to you, but it was a difficult decision, as I feel you may realise."

"Of course! Of course! Oh Harry you have no idea how happy this makes me."

Harry nodded slowly. Oh I think I have an idea... He thought to himself, but opted to just smile at the older woman. "So, when do I start?"

~♡~

October 7th.

Harry walked along the path within the Forbidden forest, the many creatures that resided in the depths of the forest, didn't approach him. Harry honestly didn't know if it was because of who he was, or what he was. Being a dark-elf had it's positive and negative sides...

The thought of the negative side brought Harry's mind to Henry. That poor man... Was it wrong, that Harry wanted him for his own, and kind of didn't care that his Soul-mate was out there somewhere? Oh gosh, he was truly a horrible and selfish person... Henry, could be out there finding his one and only, but instead... Harry was keeping him. Fate had already selected him a true love...

Just then, Harry's phone started to ring.

"Henry?" Harry asked, but silence followed. "Henry? You okay?" Stopping his walk, Harry waited patiently for the other person to respond.

"Yes sorry. Are you Hadrian Black?"

"That is me. Who are you?"

"My name is Millie. I am a doctor at St. John's Hospital. Your friend was involved in a shooting... And-"

The woman's voice faded away as Harry's mind went into overdrive. Harry started to back track and soon he was running out of the forest and back to the school.

"Mr. Black? Are you still there?"

Harry hummed and slowed down, now that he was in the courtyard. "I'll be there soon. Goodbye."

"Wait-!?"

But Harry had already hung up, and was on his way inside of the School, to tell Minerva he was leaving for a little while. Still in his professor, get up, the students all expected him to go to the Teachers table. So no one really reacted when he did. But all were surprised when he addressed them all.

"Defence against the dark arts, will be cancelled for the week. Thank you." And with a nod to Minerva, Harry was gone.

In the confusion and slight chaos, the Weasley's, Luna, Neville, Hermione, Seamus and Dean all followed after Harry. Spotting him at the apparation point, they all jumped aboard, and secretly went with him.

Harry was too worried about Henry to notice the extra amount of people with him, including the abnormal amount of magic draining from his core, not that it would be felt by Harry, who seemed to be on 100% all the time anyways. Hermione furrowed her brows at the sight of the hospital and they all shared a glance. Entering, they cast notice me not charms around the lot of them, following Harry to the front desk. It was rather quiet at the moment...
