My Lifeline- Dramione

Hospital Wing

Chapter 13 :

Hermione's thoughts were running faster than the seconds hand of the clock.

Where are they? Are they safe?

And to add to her distress, she can't even open the Marauder's Map in class.

What to do now??

Harry and Ron's sudden disappearance was making her very anxious and worried. Well she decided then, she has to find them first. Their safety was more important than her reputation, not to mention that Prof. Snape would definitely ruin it after this.

Suddenly she heard Professor clearing his throat again.

Okay Hermione, you can do this! You are the brightest witch of this generation. Think! Think!, she thought to herself.

And what she did next was unbelievable. She ran out of the classroom without uttering a word, but smart enough to keep her hands over her mouth, to make people think that she was about to vomit.

She was silently praying God, that her acting will do the work for now and nobody shall suspect anything.

And her silent prayer did work. Everyone in the classroom stood there with their mouth wide open, even Prof Snape. This day shall indeed be recorded in Hogwarts a history...

But Snape did suspect, either something was wrong or if she was really about to vomit. He thought the latter, as some slytherin pranks on their breakfast. Probably, why even Potter and Weasley were not in his class, but puking out the food contents somewhere in the corridor.

But this shall not stop him for deducting the points from Griffindor! 

Hermione quickly ran from the classroom, as soon as she was about to reach the end of the corridor she quickly took out the Marauder's Map from her pockets and searched for Harry  and Ron. She was alarmed as soon as she saw both of them in the 5 th floor perfects bathroom.

Hermione's legs were moving faster than her brains. Random thoughts were flashing in her mind. And about reaching the 5th floor corridor, she heard a loud scream... And it was no mistake, that voice belonged to none other than Harry himself.

As soon as she entered the bathroom, her eyes met with a horrified scene. Harry was withering in pain, his body was twisting and turning in Ron's arms. Hot tears were running down his cheeks and he was clutching his head, his scar.

 "Mione, where were you? We need your help! I don't know what to do. Shit" Ron screamed seeing his friend's agony.

"Oh my God! Harry!! I guess it's his scar... it's hurting him Ron."

"Well, what should we do now?" Ron tried not to panick.

Harry groaned in pain,"It's him, he's angry! Voldemort he is ...." and with that he trailed off to sleep...

"Blimey, Mione he's fainted!!" Ron tried to wake him up, the heat in Harry's body was buring his hand, "Dammit. He is so bloody hot. He is burning up!"

"We have to take him to the hospital wing immediately!" Hermione looked at the scene in terror.

Without wasting anymore time, they took him to the hospital wing and immediately called out for Madam Pompfrey. Hearing the commotion, Madam Pomprey came out and sucked in a deep breath. Even, she was greatly terrified seeing Harry Potter in this condition, "Oh dear Lord, what happened to him ?"

"It's his scar, Madam Pompfrey. It's hurting him and this made him faint." Hermione whispered softly, as tears were beginning to blur her vision as well as deafning her voice.

She just couldn't bear seeing Harry in so much pain.

Why is it always him, who suffers all the pain? 

She felt very sorry for her best friend.

"Go and call Prof. Dumbledore now!" Madam Pompfrey looked at Ron. Even she couldn't decipher the dark magic that had taken over the poor boy. 

Ron quickly left the hospital wing in search of Prof Dumbledore. Meanwhile, Hermione held Harry's hand in some assurance to him that she won't ever leave his side. She stroked his hair and kissed his forehead, while tears continued to course down her cheeks.

He was not only her best friend but also a brother to her, he was a part of her family... And she couldn't stand seeing him in this condition, it made her heart wrenched in pain. And she felt helpless, what use is it of magic when she can't even cure her bestfriend...? she thought to herself.

In the meanwhile, Madam Pompfrey gave Harry a strong herbal dose and sleep potion to ease his pain. 

Finally, after what seems hours... Ron was back with Dumbledore. He directy marched over to the boy-who-live and touched his scar lightly. It was a sign that would be changing the future soon.  Thus, he only managed to say "It's about time now"
