Hope Has Returned Chapter 32 (Harry's POV)

The rest of break and the first part of term went by fast. Ginny's and mines quittage team's last match starts in 5 minutes.
"Okay it is very sunny so try not to go blind everyone." I said looking at our team. My answer was a lot of groans. We were playing Slytherin. If we win we win the quittage cup.
"Okay out to the pitch everyone!" Ginny said nervous. The game went quick because I caught the snitch in ten minutes.
"YES I DID I-" but I felt a strong pain in my chest. The pain was so strong thy my vision went black at the edges. Ron looked at me and I shook my head no. My grip loosened on my broom and I felt like I was going to fall.
"Potter doesn't look so good and he might fall off his broom! His heart has been acting up late-" but who ever was commentating the match was cut off by lots of gasps. I had let go. I was falling fast. I put my arms out to try to lessen my pain when I hit the ground. I had to pull back in when I felt another sharp pain in my chest. I looked up to see my Firebolt in Ginny's hand and her, my team, and Draco racing down to get me. I looked back down and braced for the fall. I hit the ground hard. I looked up to see lots of people surrounding me. I got up and brushed myself off. I heard the commentator say something like 'how is Potter standing after that fall'. I was focused on my heart beat. Then I fell to the ground in one drop.
"Shit!" I gasped looking down at my chest. I tried to get up again but once I was steady I fell in a clump again. I got up and fell again after that.
"I see Potter that you have forgotten how to stand!" a Slytherin sneered. I was going to punch him so I stood up but fell again. Draco walked over to him.
"Shut the hell up" and he punched him. Draco then rushed to my side to help me up. Of course the whole crowd knew that we were friends but to add effect they all gasped. He steadied me and helped me walk to Ginny. He backed up but I fell on top of her.
"S-s-sorry" I gasped because I felt horrible.
"I'm okay with you on me." She said with concern growing in her voice. We then were picked up by our team and were carried back to the common room. Once inside I went straight to the couch. I felt so bad.
"Hey Gin can you maybe walk me to the hospital wing?" I asked.
"I can" she said and helped me up. Once we got there I collapsed in a bed. Ginny went to get Madam Pomfrey for me. Once Madam Pomfrey arrived she took my heart beat.
"Now you should be fine but it will be hard to walk for the next few days. Also Potter take it easy with everything you do." And she turned and walked back to her office.
"Well that helped a lot!" I said with sarcasm in my voice.
"Hahah-" Ginny said but her face fell and she looked shocked.
"What is it Ginny?" I asked. All she did was point at my chest. I looked down to see blood slowly trickling down my shirt and staining in. I took of my shirt to see part of one of my tubes sticking out at a weird angle. She ran and knocked on Madam Pomfrey's office while I tried not to faint. Madam Pomfrey came running out yelling something like 'why didn't I see this?'. I wasn't focused on anything but my heart beat. It was taking everything in my power not to crumble on the spot right there. I laid down on the bed when Madam Pomfrey ordered me to. She fixed my tubes and sat me up. I summoned my homework and did it. Ginny wouldn't leave my side. I wouldn't talk. Days went by and I wouldn't talk. I was let out of the hospital wing but I still wouldn't talk. I would just go through the motions of life. Easter rolled around and Ginny, Ron, and Hermione went home for the holidays. I decided to stay. I did all my work so I had nothing to do so I decided to write a letter explaining myself to my friends. It looked like this-
Dear Ginny, Ron, and Hermione,
I'm sorry for not talking and just going through life not caring. I've been a shitty boyfriend and a friend to Ron and Hermione. I've been a complete arse. I'm totally sorry. I needed time to think about everything that happened to me. When you come back I'll try to be semi normal. What has happened over the last year is getting to be too much to handle. I love you all and I'm sorry.
Love, Harry

I thought my letter was good so I sent it with one of the school owls. I never got a reply.
