Chapter 5: The truth comes out

Hermione's p.o.v

Goyle went flying through the air, before I could try to turn my head to see what happened, Ginny was over me. " Hermione, its okay. We are here now. Are you okay?" Ginny said a little freaked out.

"I will be." I said through gritted teeth." Where is Harry?"

"He is okay, he just knocked out Goyle. He is coming right now."

"Hermione!" Harry came to me and wrapped me carefully in his arms and picked me up bridal style." I am taking you to be checked out by Madam Pomfrey." He said kissing my forehead.

All i could do was smile weakly." Ron can you tie up Goyle and bring him with us?" Harry asked looking at Ron.

"Sure mate." He pointed his wand at Goyle and said " incarcerous" and ropes sprang from his wand and tied themselves around Goyle. Then he levitated goyle in the air and we all were on our way to the hospital wing.

As Harry carried me in his arms, I held onto him for dear life. I looked at him and seen the worry mixed in with relief on his face. He looked at me and half smiled.

" Mione' we are going to have to also check on Sheila while we are in the hospital wing." He said with an awkward look, like he was trying to figure out something.

" Why, what happened to Sheila? Don't tell me Goyle got to her also. " I said with worry.

" No, its not that someone went after her. Its that something strange happened and I cant make any sense out of it." Harry looked like he was struggling wit an explanation. "Okay, so all of us were walking to meet you back in the conference hall and Sheila started screaming. I turned around and she was on the ground withering in pain. We could not find out what was going on. Someone got the headmistress and ok this is gonna sound strange but when Sheila was a little coherent, she called Mcgonagall her grandmother and Mcgonagall said grammy is here, well of course here I am thinking that the professor is just going along with the whole thing because there was a student in distressed but when I asked Mcgonagall if she was just going along with it, she said that she is Sheila's grandmother. Its just weird because I didn't even know Mcgonagall had kids or had ever been married. I mean where is her husband or kids?" Harry looked at me with true concern and I hated that I could not tell him everything.

" Listen Harry, maybe you should ask Mcgonagall or even Sheila. Maybe even just wait for them to talk about it themselves. But what happened with Sheila? Why was she screaming?" I asked still concerned for the girl.

" Well that is how we knew you were being tortured and where you were and who was doing it to you. She seemed like she was being tortured and she gasped between breaths that we needed to save you, she knew where you were and who was hurting you. Im very grateful to her for her letting us know about you, but now don't get me wrong I hate that she was hurting too along with you but how did she channel you, your pain and how did she feel everything you felt? How did she apparate in the castle when Pansy was about to attack us?" Harry asked with frustration.

I was quiet, I wasnt sure what to say. All I could think of was what Professor Mcgonagall told me only a little while earlier. Sheila must care about me and trust me. She really could be a true friend." I trust her, Harry. If she wanted to hurt us, I believe she would have already tried. She would not have saved my life if she was evil or a bad person. Maybe, its all of us that she needs to trust so she will tell us. How bad can she be if she is the Headmistresses granddaughter?" I asked trying not to sound like a know it all.
