Jackson was pacing back and forth at the top of the stairwell. He was full of nerves as he waited for one of his best friends to leave the infirmary. A hand was placed on his shoulder and he turned to see Ron. After a few hours in the infirmary, the redhead had been all healed up, only having a few scratches on his face.
"Harry will be alright. Dumbledore just went into see him." Ron said before removing his hand and taking a stand in front of the railing, also looking down at the infirmary doors.
Jackson pursed his lips before sighing. He didn't know all the details of what happened. Only that Professor Quirrell had been the one causing all the trouble and he was the one after the stone. Everyone in the school basically knew now but Jackson still wanted to talk to Harry to see exactly what happened. He was basically bouncing with anticipation, just waiting for him to come out of the doors.
A group of kids walked up to the door and placed chocolates down in front before walking away. Jackson snickered at all the gifts Harry had received. After word had spread, everyone considered Harry to be a hero and they all wanted to thank him and the only way they knew how was by giving him things. Jackson could already imagine the look of Harry's face when he saw all stuff he received.
"Do you think Harry would mind if I took a box?" Ron questioned, staring down at the sweets with hunger in his eyes.
Hermione gasped, "they're his presents. You can't just take them because you're hungry. It's wrong. At least wait until he comes out."
Just as the words left her mouth, the doors opened and Jackson turned his attention away from them, smiling brightly when he saw it was Harry who exited. He turned on his heel and ran down the stairs, launching himself at Harry and laughing as he hugged him. "You just became the coolest person in the whole school."
Harry blushed in embarrassment as he saw there were more gifts outside the door. "Oh, no." He mumbled causing Jackson to laugh harder. He pulled himself away from Harry and the two looked up at Ron and Hermione who hadn't moved from their spot at the tops of the stairs. Harry smiled brightly when he saw Ron was standing there and was okay. He had been so worried about the three of them even though Dumbledore told him they were alright, he needed to see for himself. "All right there, Ron?"
Ron shrugged his shoulders with a grin. "All right? You?"
Harry shrugged back. "All right. Hermione?" The girl responded with a never better. Harry turned to the last of the group, seeing Jackson was practically radiating with happiness. "All right?"
