Harry Potter: Heir of the Dark Lord

Part 14-Hospital Wing and End of the Year

(Noctis pov)
I began to stir awake as I felt a large beam of light hit me in the face, I slowly opened my eyes even though they felt heavy to see the ceiling, and in a daze, I slowly sat up and looked around the room. The place I was in was none other than the hospital wing in Hogwarts. I heard multiple footsteps approaching, I turned to the right and saw Harry, Ron, and Hermione. When the trio saw me they instantly went to hug me, they said that they were deeply worried cause I'd been unconscious for a Month and that it was the first day of June. I was stunned, had I been out that long, I tried to get out of bed, however, the trio tried to stop me from moving, but I ignored them, and just when I was about to take my first step off the bed, madam Pomfrey, the matron, and nurse of Hogwarts appeared.

(Poppy Pomfrey)
Pomfrey:" Black! You shouldn't try to move just yet!!" she told me as she immediately went to treat me.
Noctis:" I'm fine, really," I said only to fall on the floor when trying to stand up. Ron and Hermione helped me back into bed, while Pomfrey went to fetch Dumbledore and the other staff. Harry and Hermione began to explain what happened during the weeks I was unconscious, they managed to get Norbert to Charlie's friends, but we're caught by Filch, and given detention with both Malfoy and Neville, to travel into the forbidden with Hagrid to search for a unicorn that was revealed to have been slayed by Voldemort, who was drinking the blood to try and to prolong his life and nearly attacked Harry, if not for a centaur name Firenze saving him. Then they explained how they managed to get past Fluffy and other obstacles guarding the philosopher stone and came across Quirrell who was trying to steal it and had Voldemort living on the back of his head. And how Harry managed to stop them both.

Noctis:" So that explains why I felt more than one mind when I tried to use Legilimens on him."
Harry:" You knew that Quirrell had Voldemort living on the back of his head?"
Noctis:" I knew that Quirrell was trying to kill you and steal the stone, but I had no idea that Voldemort was living on the back of his head part!?"
When I moved my right arm a little, a sting in my wrist caused me to grunt a little. I removed the bandages and saw the injury.

I can still feel the pain of the Cruciatus curse coursing through my body Hermione noticed and asked if I was ok, and I explained that I was fine, however, before she could say anything to me, Dumbledore and the staff arrived in the room.
Dumbledore:" I'm glad to see you wake, Noctis, how are you feeling?"
Noctis:" Like I was electrocuted inside out."
Ron:" What happened, I saw how you were brought in here, you looked half-dead?"
Noctis:" You guys weren't the only ones who had an encounter with Voldemort."
The trio looked horrified, especially Ron cause he had this scared look on his face when I said his name.
Ron:" Don't say his name!"
I can't blame him as many people feared him so much that they refused to speak his name.
Harry:" Why didn't he kill you?"
Noctis:" He wanted me out of the way so that he get the stone."
Dumbledore:" Which he was unable to acquire as it has been destroyed. Thanks to Mr. Potter and his friends, now then Poppy can you escort the three children out while I speak to Mr. Black alone?"
Soon the trio was escorted out of the hospital wing, leaving me with the staff.
Dumbledore:" I like to offer a sincere apology Noctis, had I known that Voldemort was living on the back of Quirrell's head I would have immediately acted a lot sooner, and you wouldn't have been subjected to the Cruciatus curse."
Noctis:" It's alright, I'm just hoping that it will be the last we ever see of him, but I have my doubts about that statement."
Dumbledore:" Indeed he may once try to return someday, but fortunately we will be ready for when that day comes."
Dumbledore explained to me that I would be released from the hospital wing in about two or three days since he wanted to make sure that there weren't any side effects of dark magic in the wound on my waist on my right arm. Also, he said that I could take the first-year exam much earlier than the others because I would still be here before the summer holiday starts.
Before they could leave I asked about Cyrus and wondered if he was okay. Snape explained that Professor Kettleburn has been tending to Cyrus since he also sustained some injuries. I was happy to hear that as he got injured trying to defend me from Voldemort.

During the next three day, I was examined by Madam Pomfrey, who made sure I was completely healed. I was finishing the exams while also being visited by other people like the Weasley brothers, some of the first-year Gryffindors, Ravenclaws, and Hufflepuffs also came by as well. Daphne came by a few hours ago, dragging Draco along with his Slytherin goons. They began to ask me questions about my father. I started to become uncomfortable with their constant questioning. Madam Pomfrey noticed this and had them kicked out of the hospital wing. Professor Kettleburn arrived with Cyrus who immediately coiled himself around me and refused to let go.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione came by yesterday to tell me that Gryffindor won the House Cup this year and that I and Hermione had the best grades of the first years. They even told me that Neville scraped through, his good Herbology mark making up for his abysmal Potions one. Ron and Harry had hoped Goyle, who was almost as stupid as he was mean, might be thrown out, but he had passed, too. It was a shame, but as Ron said, you couldn't have everything in life. Today Madam Pomfrey told me that I could finally leave the hospital wing as I was fully healed and could leave for the train. I arrived with the trio and headed to the train. Hagrid was there to take us down to the fleet of boats that sailed across the lake; we boarded the Hogwarts Express; talking and laughing as the countryside became greener and tidier; eating Bettie Bott's Every Flavor Beans as they sped past Muggle towns; pulling off our wizard robes and putting on jackets and coats; pulling into platform nine and three-quarters at King's Cross Station.

It took quite a while for them all to get off the platform. A wizened old guard was up by the ticket barrier, letting them go through the gate in twos and threes so they didn't attract attention by all bursting out of a solid wall at once and alarming the Muggles.
Ron:" You three must come and stay this summer, I'll send you an owl."
Harry:" Thanks, I'll need something to look forward to."
Noctis:" I'll send Twilight with a letter of my address."
The four of us passed through the gateway and saw Ron's mother Molly Weasley and his sister Ginny.
Ginny:" Harry Potter! Look, Mom! I can see--"
Molly:" Be quiet, Ginny, and it's rude to point."
Mrs. Weasley smiled down at us.
Molly:" Busy year?"
Harry:" Very, Thanks for the fudge and the sweater, Mrs. Weasley."
Molly:" Oh, it was nothing, dear."
???:" Noctis!!" said a voice that was calling for me, I turned and saw my aunt Andromeda and uncle Ted.
She went up and hugged me, saying how worried she and the rest of the family were after receiving Dumbledore's letter. I told her I was fine, although she was frequently checking me for any injuries that I might have even though I was completely healed. Thankfully I didn't tell her about the burned handprint otherwise she would not have stopped fussing all day. I soon bid the three farewell and left the station to go home.
