My Lifeline- Dramione

Wrath of Ginny

Chapter 17 :

"I must warn you, this will pain him alot and you will hear him screaming, so I suggest you to leave." Madam Pompfrey said.

Hermione and Ron looked at each other and nodded. "We'll stay with him." Best friends never abandon each other. They'll stay with Harry, always!

"I shall leave now, and if the screams are too loud, I suggest you use the silencing charm, as you guys won't be able to hear him screaming." Malfoy glanced at Hermione. He knew the effects of this potion, and he wasn't sure if Hermione would be able to hear her bestfriend's scream.

Ron was shocked, never in his wildest dreams he ever thought that Malfoy would know how to be polite.

Hermione was surprised as well.

Maybe he has changed over the vacation...

Wait, but that is mere possibility!!

Still she couldn't help but feel her lips forming into a smile.

Ron then awkwardly managed to say "Thanks Malfoy."

On hearing this, Hermione and Draco were clearly shocked.

Has hell frozen over? No, has bloody hell frozen over? she thought to herself. But what she heard next, made her stumble back a little.

Draco cleared his throat,"Welcome, Weasely. I hope he gets better."
With that, Malfoy left the hospital wing, giving one last glance at Hermione.

Hermione caught his eyes and nodded at his departure.

Never did she think, a day would come when Ronald Weasley and Draco Malfoy, the famous archenemies would have a decent talk. Be it just one line. Thinks change, and so do people. Hopefully.

Without wasting any more time, Madam Pompfrey proceeds ahead to pour the spirited potion inside Harry's parted lips.

As soon as the potion touched his lips, the colour of his lips started changing to purple. The potion was quickly spreading throughout his body, making the colour of his body slightly change to blueish-purple.
And when the potion spread entirely, his body started shivering and withering in pain, followed by painful screams.

And finally, after a torturous half an hour, the screams ceased to mere whimpers.

Hermione already had an ocean of tears flowing down her cheeks. And Ron was horrified by what he just saw. They felt the pain behind every scream. And they only hoped and prayed for their best-friend to recover soon.

And as if their prayers were answered by the Almighty

Finally the effect of the potion could be seen and Harry was waking up slowly...

At the Great Hall :

It was lunch time and whispers were spreading like wild fire, regarding the missing trio...

Just then, Ginny Weasely entered the great hall and approached Neville and Seamus who were seated at the Gryffindor table.

Since she was in the 5th year, she wasn't aware that her best friend, her brother and her boyfriend were missing from the class today.

"Hello Neville, Seamus!" She greeted  cheerfully.

She glanced at the table, only to find the trio missing. Where were they?

Seeing her cheerful mood, both the boys awkwardly greeted her. So she still didn't know. And to be honest they didn't want to be the one's to tell her the truth. They were scared to get the wrath of Ginny Weasley.

Ginny Weasley was bold, beautiful and not to forget, a very fierce woman. She absolutely hates it, when she is kept out or when somebody hides the truth from her.

Forget about lying to Ginny Weasely, as that would be the last day of your life!

Her Bogey Bat hex is enough for one to get into the hospital wing.

And what they were really afraid of, was just coming next...

"Where's Harry, Ron and Hermione?" Ginny asked, as she could see everyone from the 6th year in the great hall except them.

Neville gulped, "Well, they did not attend the lectures today."

Ginny's eyes were so wide open that, it was about to come out of their sockets.

Both the boys could see the emotions of shock, concern and anger on her face. And mind you, it was a deadly combination.

"You have only 1 minute to come out with the truth! Tell me everything now." she commanded and banged her fists on the table.

Getting trapped under her wrath, both the boys told her everything from the start... From how Hermione was late to class to how Ron came running in the class calling Prof Snape.

At the mention of the Hospital Wing, fear was evident on Ginny's face, she ran out from the great hall pushing everyone on her way.

Harry was the only person on her mind... And her she knew he was not okay.

At the hospital wing :

As Harry was waking up slowly, all of a  sudden there was a loud bang on the hospital door.

All the heads turned behind, to see the only person they least expected here....
