| Chapter 10 Harry awoke with a splitting headache. His glasses were off so everything around him was blurry. He searched with his hands around him for his glasses. He was lieing on a couch. He couldn't find his glasses. He heard voices,they were talking about him, "Do you think he'll be ok?" "Yes,fine,he was only stunned. I imagine the pain in his scar was harder to deal with." "Do you think You-Know-Who was going to take him prisoner?" "Actually,that's exactly what I think." "Hey,look! He's awake!" "Give him his glasses." Harry's glasses were shoved onto his face. He looked up into Christina's tear streaked face and standing next to her was Remus Lupin. "Oh Harry! I am so sorry. I really should've stayed. I mean who was I to know that he would find you tonight!",cried Christina. She dropped into a chair next to him and sobbed. Harry looked around. He was lieing on the couch in Hermione's living room. Nymphadora Tonks, or Tonks as she liked to be called, came over to comfort Christina,"It's not your fault, hun. Hush now." Lupin came over and he looked over at Harry gravely,"Are you alright Harry? Do you need to go to St. Mungo's?" Harry shook his head,"What happened?" "Well, we got a call from your pendant. We came as fast as we could. We got here just in time to watch You-Know-Who and Peter apparate. You were on the floor and Hermione was in the corner crying over her parents and yourself." Harry sat up,"Hermione's parents!" Lupin pushed Harry back down,"Now, now, the curse was lifted but we won't know how they are until we hear from St.Mungos. Hermione is there with them now." Harry laid down quietly, then he sat up again,"Wait Professor! I mean Remus, it really wasn't Christina's fault! I mean...." Lupin pushed Harry down again,"Calm down Harry, to be blunt, it WAS Christina's fault. She went to get you without orders to do so and put you in danger but..." Christina broke out in a new fit of sobs. Tonks smoothed her hair,"Hush baby, it's not your fault. How were you to know? Many people are baffled by what he does. I mean you left him with the necklace!" She turned and glared at Lupin,"It's your fault! You put too much pressure on her to be her father. She's still young. Harry may be able to take your abuse but she's still learning so ease up ok?" Lupin stared at her and then he turned his attention to the door because Mad-Eye Moody had walked into the house,"How's the boy?" he grumbled. "He'll be fine, he just needs some rest." Harry reached over and smoothed Christina's hair,"It's not your fault.",he said. Christina looked up and smiled a little. Moody cleared his throat,"Well, I think we should get started. Shall we then?" Harry looked over at him strangely,"Start what?" |
