Drarry; the last horcrux

Chapter 22

When Harry wakes up for the third time that day, Draco is gone and his friends are hovering over him.

'Harry! What on earth were you doing in the room of requirement?' Hermione cries out.

'You had me there for a sec mate, you scared us all pretty good.' Ron adds and Ginny nods.

'I'm sorry, I just thought that-' Harry cuts himself right in time, throwing a glance at Ginny.

'Thought what?' Ginny asks curiously and she puts her hands on her hips, reminding Harry much of Molly Weasley.

'That the fiendfyre would be gone.' Harry quickly makes up. It's a lame lie and doesn't really explain what he was doing there, but Ginny doesn't ask further.

'So how did you get out?' Hermione asks and Harry's head aches, trying to make up more lies.
Surely Draco wouldn't want him to tell that he was the one that saved Harry.

'I don't remember.' Harry says and looks everywhere but at Hermione, who narrows her eyes, but thankfully says nothing.
'When can I leave the hospital wing?' Harry asks quickly to distract his friends from the subject.

'Tomorrow.' Pomfrey says from behind the door.
See, she does listen to her patients coversations.

With a heavy sigh, harry lets his head fall back on his pillow.
Another day wasted, what if Lucius hides the horcrux in the main time? Than they will be further from destroying it than they already are.

''Mione?' Harry asks and she nods before Harry even asked the question.
Hermione has a gift that she always seems to know what goes through others heads. Quite scary actually. Harry asked her to explain how she does that once, but quickly regretted it when she happily began to explain that it was most of the time very logic what people think- but then with a thousand terms Harry didn't understand.

'I'll bring some books, come Ronald.' She says and tugs at Ron's sleeve.
They get up and leave Harry to his thoughts again.
