Don't Let Go

Chapter 18

Harry's Point of View

I jolted awake. Looking around, I noticed I was still in the infirmary. I clasped my stomach from the pain of the stab. I pulled my shirt up to see if the wound was there but to my surprise, it wasn't. Was that all a dream? No, it can't be. I felt it. It was real. I felt it. 

"Good you're awake." I heard a cheery voice approaching me.

"Hey Luna. What are you doing here?" I said as I pulled my shirt down.

"I'm just checking up on you. I brought you some biscuits." She said as she laid down the basket full of biscuits beside my bed.

"Hey Luna, can I ask you something strange?"

"Yeah, sure"

"Did something happen last night? I heard a sound from the corridor and when I checked it out Ron was there and then I woke up." I said to her 

"That is weird, as far as I know Professor McGonagall punished Ron and he was sent to search the Forbidden Forrest with Hagrid in the dead of night, that started 2 days ago. There's no way Ron was here last night." Luna explained with a confused look on her face.

"Oh okay. Thank you, Luna"

"You're welcome, Harry! Oh, another thing, I remember Ron was denying attacking you that night. He said he was sleeping which was really weird if you as me. Anyways, I have to go now. Bye Harry!" Luna said as she departed the infirmary.

Everything just feels so surreal. I laid in bed thinking about what happened last night. I suddenly remembered seeing Hermione last night with Ron. 

I didn't know what it was but something felt weird. I felt uneasy with everything that is happening around me. I shrugged off that feeling. Maybe it was just a dream, I said to myself to try and convince myself that nothing happened last night. Even though it feels so real.

It's been three days since Ron attacked me. It's been 3 days since I last saw Hermione. I miss her face. I mis her touch. I miss they way she laughs when I do something stupid. I miss her smell and I miss being with her. My daydreaming was abruptly cut when Madame Pomfrey entered my room.

"Oh good, you're awake" she said as she was walking towards me.

"It seems like you're doing okay, Harry. I think you should be able to go back to your classes after lunch" 

"Thank you Madame Pomfrey" I said to her as she left my room. Finally, some good news. I'll get to see Hermione again.

The morning went by fast and I didn't notice it was past lunch already. I had already left the infirmary and sorting my things in the Gryffindor common room to prepare for my next class.

"Fancy seeing you here" I heard a gruff voice behind me. 

"Ron. What are you doing here?" I turned around and I was surprised to see him in the common room since classes are about to start in a few minutes. 

"Look, Potter. I will never forgive you for the things you've done. Blaming me for what happened that night when I didn't do anything. Dragging my sister and Hermione into your messed up world. I don't know what kind of game you're playing but know this..." Ron said angrily as he walks toward me 

"...stay the bloody hell away from me, my family and Hermione" he pushed me against the wall causing some items on the shelf on the wall to collapse on the floor and he walked away from me, leaving me all alone in the common room.
