magical chance

chapter 17

Harry's POV

Huh, why doesn't it hurt? Did I not collide with the van? I slowly opened my eyes and immediately wanted to smack the bloody idiot in front of me. Edward is crouched in front of me, blocking the van with his bare hand. I was about to start a tirade on this man until I notice the people surrounding us.

Some of the students started to push the van away to rescue Tyler who's suffering a head injury from the collision. On the other hand, I am perfectly fine but there's a faint throbbing pain at the back of my head but it's not painful. Just annoying. An ambulance came in and Edward walked through the crowd, hiding himself in the chaos.

They hauled me up into the ambulance with Tyler in another one. I looked around and saw the others looking at me worriedly. The Cullen's, on the other hand, looked furious. Probably because Edward has literally exposed themselves to Bella, Who's definitely going to look into them much closer.

I gave them my thoughts and prayers before succumbing to the darkness.......

Next thing I know, I'm in the emergency room with Sirius holding my hand while sobbing. "Padfoot, I'm not dead. Stop acting like I'm on my death bed." I criticized him and sits up on the edge of the bed. Tyler, who saw me awake, started to apologize to me but Remus quickly closed the curtain. Teddy, Severus, Gellert and Marvolo are also there. The others, I'm guessing, are outside of the room.

Weirdly enough, Chief Swan was also there. I asked about it and Severus replied, "Tyler's brakes were tampered with and he was unable to control his vehicle on the icy road. We need to know who tampered with the brakes because the van already had its monthly check-up last week and the breaks were fine. However, today, it didn't work and we took a look inside. The wires were cut by with a wire cutter from the looks of it."

"Great. So, somebody tried to kill Tyler and I." I laid back to bed and groaned into the pillow. My mental health is literally lower than the average level now. It seems like no matter where I go, the Potter luck will still follow me along. Things wind down a bit until the nurse shows up to do a simple check-up on Tyler's injuries. Let me tell you, he still didn't shut up.

I literally just wanted to stun him but I can't. To counteract this, I asked Severus more about the case. "Unfortunately, the CCTV camera at the school was too outdated and there was no way for us to identify who messed with the brakes. We caught a video of when it happened but the quality is too bad for us to identify who it is. So, that was a bust."

I moaned in frustration. Severus and Charlie then went out to discuss the situation. I turned to Sirius to tell him to donate CCTV cameras to the school to make sure this never happens again and also new computers as theirs are so busted that there's only a few good one's to use.

Soon after, Dr. Carlisle Cullen comes in. This was the first time we've met the coven leader of the Cullen's. He's well-spoken, kind and does his job quite well. He did a small test to ensure that my head was fine, which it was. He prescribed me with some pain killers for the headaches and I was able to go home.

By then, it was already dinner time. The others went home first. Leaving Marvolo, Gellert and I to handle the paperwork. I spotted Edward, Dr. Cullen and Rosalie having an argument in the middle of the hall while Marvolo was checking me out.

The trio spotted me and quickly stopped arguing and left except for Edward. He seemed to be a bit fidgety after what happened and walked up to me. As he was about to open his mouth, I stopped him and thanked him for saving me. He looked confused for a moment, "Weren't you going to ask me about what happened?"

"Nope," I replied. "I honestly don't want to talk about it. You saved me, end of story. I don't like to dig too deep into things as that always seems to be the worst thing I ever did in my life. To be frank, I'm talking to you right now because I need to warn you about something."

"What is it?"

"Bella will be digging into things a little more closely after this. I also suspect that she's behind this accident. So, you need to keep an eye on her and stay low. Also," I grabbed his collar and pulled him closer.

"Make sure to never do that again. If something happens and she's around, I can handle it. You don't need to be a hero. I'm already one. Got it, vamp?" He looked shocked but I quickly left before he started to question me more about it.........

We headed home and I pulled on the bell for another family meeting. We all gathered in the living room. We opened our main topic of the week, "Bella Swan saw Edward save me and I am 50 percent sure that she did this to find out about us or the Cullen's."

"How do you know that?" Arthur asks, sceptical. "Well, I saw her smirking as the van was about to crash into me. She also looked happy when she saw Edward save me as well. So, there's a chance that she might have been the one to do so or it was just somebody else."

"Ok, then. What do we do now? She's going to find out about the Cullen's. Then, she'll start to get curious about the pack and us. She will start digging about all of us! We need to stop her or better yet, get rid of her entirely" Draco suggested but....

"No, the last thing we need is for the Chief to start looking for his daughter and the ministry to look into us as well. If she ever finds out, we'll wipe out her memory immediately. For now, just lay low and act as normally as you can."
