CHAPTER THIRTEEN:HOSPITAL WING

~Harry~

"Hey Tommy, Heather. Are you feeling alright ?" I said looking at them both. Tommy was in bed and Heather was in one too, next to him.
Heather sat up and blinked a few times. Hermione got off her chair and pulled Heather into a hug.
"Oh my - Thank goodness you're okay !" She said. Heather was practically gasping for air. I had to force Hermione to let Heather go. Once she did, she suddenly became very angry. "What on earth were you thinking !!? You could've died out there !" Hermione said. Heather was shocked at first. For god knows why, but a little after that she simply replied "I missed you and I - I just wanted to help you guys win."
I gave Heather a hug then turned to look at Tommy. Heather followed my gaze and her eyes almost popped out.
"Is he okay !" She asked, screaming. I nodded and that seemed to have calmed her down. Madame Promfrey came shuffling over and made Heather some green liquid to gulp down. Once she was done, she asked "what happened to Tommy ?"
"He got hit with a curse." Hermione said slowly.
"What curse !?" She asked eagerly.
"It sounded like 'Sectumsempra'   " I said.
"And what happened !!?"
"Blood started coming out of his body. You got hit with the same spell." Hermione whispered. I nodded.
"Then why didn't he wake up yet ?" Heather spat.
"He will. You just need to calm down and wait." Madame Promfrey said.
"Yes. Heather. You should wait" Hermione said sighing.
"Okay well, who won the battle ?"
"We did Heather. We did. " I said proudly.

"Slowly, now " Heather whispered to Tommy. He had just got out of the Hospital Wing and sweet Heather was helping him down the marble staircase. Everyone at the Gryffindor table clapped loudly as we descended. Soon, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw joined in. Even the teachers stood up.
"Well done, well down INDEED !" Beamed Professor Dumbledore. He began his speech once we were all seated.
"As you all know, we have won the battle against the Death Eaters. I have found out the reason they came. They were after someone". Everyone gasped.
"Yes. Very horrifying indeed. I will not mention the person's name. He or she is in great danger of course. The Dark Lord has sent his followers to come and fetch this person, but luckily failed.
For some reason, he really wanted to get his hands on this person. That is all the answers I could get. Moving on, I am very proud of all of you. You helped to keep this very person safe and you helped to keep this school safe. A very special thanks to all of you. 300 points to each house !" He finished.
The whole Great Hall erupted with cheers. Everyone except for Hermione. She definitely has something bothering her. And I needed to find out what.
                             *
"Hermione ?" I asked. She looked as though she was about to burst into tears and she did. "Hermione...what's going on ?" I asked softly. This made her sob even harder.
"It's Heather..." She managed. "Why her !" She cried.
"What about Heather ?" I said looking at her red eyes.
"She's...she's my sister. And she's cursed." She said, a tsunami of tears spilling out her eyes. I was so shocked. Heather was Hermione's sister ??! Why didn't she say so before ?
"And- You- Know - Who is after HER !!!" Hermione said.
"What !? How do you know !?"
"Dumbledore got it out of Bellatrix"
She sniffed. "Voldermort wants Heather." Luckily there was no one in the common room cuz if there was, She wouldn't have told me now and who knows when I'll even find out!
"What does Voldermort want with Heather ?" I asked still in shock of what she told me.
"I think he wants her because she has this- well.... curse."
"Have you told Harry this !?". She shook her head.
"Do you want to tell him ?"
She nodded and We bounded up the stairs to the dormitory. I dragged half asleep Harry all the way downstairs.

  "So..let me get this straight. Heather is your sister and she's cursed. The reason the Death Eaters attacked is because they wanted to take Heather to Voldermort because she's cursed  ?"
Harry asked.
"That's what I said you nitwit" I said.
"Oh. Did you tell Heather ?" He asked Hermione. She shook her head and sniffed.
"You've got to tell her at some point." I said. She shook her head and said "I don't think I can... All my life I've told her I hated her... I've seen her in so much pain, I've been such a jerk of a sister to her....all just to protect her. I- I just-" I didn't get to hear the rest of her sentence cuz she broke down crying after that.
I rubbed her back slowly. She seemed so upset.
Of course she is, you idiot !!! She just found out her sister is being hunted by Voldermort.
"What are going to do ?" Hermione stopped sobbing.. For now I guess.
"All we can do is protect Heather and hope Voldermort won't try this again "
Harry said.
"Yes. Harry's right " I said.
"You don't think I already know that?" Hermione said angrily. I smiled weakly and said "of course you did."
"One question though......."
"What is it Harry ?"
"What is Heather's curse ?"
"Oh. Well...Her curse is ...."
