Silent Love (Harry Potter Love Story)

Chapter 57

Later...

“Well Harry, shall we start on Snape’s report?” I asked him.

“Later, I’ve got detention,” said Harry.

“Good luck Harry,” said Hermione.

After Harry left, we just sit there in silence. Hermione is busy with her book and Ron’s going somewhere. I start do my report. Suddenly, Harry stepped into the common room, looking puzzled.

“Hey Harry,” I said

He looks up from his parchment that he’s holding.

“How’s detention?” I asked.

“Not bad,” Harry said

“Really? What does she do to you?” I asked

“Just write some stuff,” Harry said.

“Ok,” I said

“Have you seen Ron? I can’t find him anywhere,” said Hermione

Harry shakes his head

“No, I haven’t,” said Harry. “Sorry, I gotta go. See you later.”

Harry left.

“He’s been acting fishy all week. He’s up to something,” said Hermione

“Who?” I asked

“Ron,” Hermione said

“Maybe, boys just like that. Don’t see the way Harry’s act lately?” I said

“Uh huh,” said Hermione.

Today is the Quidditch try out. Apparently Ron’s hiding to go practice everyday. He’s pretty good. And he made the team.

“Congrats Ron,” I said.

“Congratulation Ron,” Hermione hugged him. Both of them blush a little.

“Kids,” I laughed.

The Quidditch team stands around, talking. I spies Harry.

“Hey Harry,” I said

“Harry, I tried out for Quidditch Keeper at the tryouts! I’m on the team!” said Ron.

Everything stops as they take in the sight of Harry, pale, and gaunt, barely standing, with one hand clutching his scar and the other hanging limply at his side, covered in blood.

“Harry, bloody hell!” said Ron.

Harry’s knees give out and he falls to the floor. Fred, George, Ron, and Hermione lift him up.

“He’s got to be taken to the hospital wing,” said Hermione.

“No, can’t give Umbridge the satisfaction,” said Harry weakly.

“Umbridge did this?” Fred asked

“You said she was making you do lines!” I said

We settle Harry back down.

“She is. But the quill has some sort of spell on it. it uses blood for ink,” said Harry,

“That old hag! She’s sick!” said Hermione. Hermione looks horrified.

“Oh Harry. You’ve got to go to Dumbledore,” said Hermione.

“No, I’m not telling anyone,” said Harry.

“But, you can’t keep this up,” I said.

“No!” said Harry. Harry climbs slowly to his feet.

“I don’t need his help. I don’t need anyone’s help,” said Harry.

He pushes past them and limps up into the boys’s dorm.

“What’s got into him?” Ron said.

“I don’t know,” I said.
