Hope Has Returned Chapter 36 (Ron's POV)

It's finally Saturday! All of my classes and NEWTS are done! Now all of the 7th years get to sit back and relax. I got up and looked at my clock. Wow it is already 10:00am! I looked around the room to see all the beds full but one. Harry's! If he is with my sister again I will kill him. I looked at Jackson.
"Hey is Harry with my sister and do you know where he is?" I asked the snake. According to Harry, Jackson can understand English but can't speak it. Jackson hissed and shook his head no.
"For both?" I asked again. This time he took his tail and made a 'sorta' sign. I ran down the stairs expecting to see Harry. Before I got to the bottom I heard hissing. Jackson! I ran up to lock his cage when he stopped me.
"So is Harry with my sister?" I asked taking it one question because he clearly wanted to tell me something. He shook his head no.
"Do you know where he is?" I asked. He made the 'sorta' sign again. I ran to Hermione's dorm and knocked on her door and then on Ginny's. They came out to see me stressed. I told them what Jackson sort of said and we started looking for Harry. His map wasn't in his trunk and so was his cloak. We roamed the castle for most of the morning but gave up and went to Mcgonagal's office. I told her what Jackson had sort of said and that we've been looking for him all morning.
"He could of ran! He hasn't eaten all week!" she said and hurried along the halls with us. We only stopped when Ginny randomly fell.
"I-I tripped over something!" she said moving her hand along the floor. She felt something so she called me over.
"Harry's cloak! But what is under it-"I said as I lifted it up. Underneath the cloak was Harry gripping his map tightly. He was out cold. I sat there unable to move. Mcgonagal and Hermione ran over to see why Ginny and I were frozen. Mcgonagal gasped and Hermione had to lean on the wall for support. What happened?

(Harry's POV)

I woke up in the middle of the night starving. I looked a little pale but that must be because I haven't eaten all week. I got up and grabbed my cloak and my map. I decided I would go down to the kitchens and get some food. I walked over to were Jackson's cage was.
"He I'm going out I'll be back later" I whispered to him.
"Okay" he whispered back. I smiled. I love having a pet that I can talk to. I was down by the kitchens when I felt a familiar jab of pain in my chest. I held in a scream and hoped for the best. I realized that I had my cloak on. If anyone tried to find me they couldn't. I was about to pull it off but I fell to the ground and passed out.
