Chapter 23

That Saturday there was a Quidditch game; Slytherin against Gryffindor. The Slytherins were winning. Malfoy flew up to Harry.

" Alright there scarhead ? " Draco asked, Harry just ignored him. He saw a bludger coming straight at him, he ducked in time.

" Watch yourself! " Oliver shouted. The bludger was coming back.

" Oliver lookout! " Harry shouted. It was too late, the bludger slammed into Oliver, and he plummeted to the ground. Harry looked up and saw the snitch by Malfoy's ear. He took of scaring Malfoy. He, Malfoy, and bludger went under the bleachers chasing after the snitch. Soon the two came out. Malfoy flew, he tumbled before landing in the splits.

" Oooooo," Cortney said.

" Is he okay ? " asked a worried Pansy. Harry went to go reach for the snitch the bludger smashed into his arm. He then used his other arm, grabbed it, and fell off the broom. He laid on the ground smiling at the snitch.

" Harry Potter has caught the snitch! Gryffindor! " Lee Jordan shouted happily into the mic. Harry looked up to see the bludger going straight at him, he rolled away dodging it. 

" Fintie Incantatcum! " Hermione shouted making the tampered bludger explode. Cortney and a whole bunch of others ran down to Harry.

" Are you okay? " Hermione and Ron asked.

" No, I think my arm is broken," Harry said wincing in pain.

" Not to worry! I'll fix your arm of yours, straight away! " Lockhart said kneeling next to him.

" No, not you," panicked Harry.

" Poor kid doesn't even know what he is saying," Lockhart laughed. He grabbed Harry's arm and rolled up his sleeve. " Now this won't hurt a nit, Brackinum Emendo! " Lockhart moved Harry's arm, it moved around like jello. He bent Harry's wrist all the way back.

" Ewww," Cortney said making a disgusted face.

" yes, well that sometimes can happen. But point is, you can no longer feel pain and clearly, the bones are no longer broken," Lockhart said happily.

" Broken !" Hagrid snarled. " There are no bones left ! ". They hurried Harry off to the Hospital Wing. Draco was in the hospital wing, across from Harry, he was moaning like crazy. Cortney went back and forth between her cousin and Harry.

" Oh, Mr. Malfoy you can go! Stop making such a fuss! " Madame Pomfrey ordered rushing towards Harry. "  Out of my way! Out of my way! You should have been brought straight to me ! " she said to Harry. " I can mend bones in a heartbeat, but growing them back-"

" You'll be able to won't you," Hermione said with hope.

"Oh, I'll be able to certainly, but it'll be painful," Madame Pomfrey said.

" You'll have to use Skelegrow, right? " Hermione questioned.

" Right," Madame Pomfrey said sounding surprised.  " You're in for a rough night Mr. Potter. Regrowing bones is a nasty business". She handed Harry a cup of the bone regrowing potion. He took a sip and spit it right back out. " Well, what were you expecting pumpkin juice !? " Madam Pomfrey said harshly. She then shooed everyone away.

" Can you imagine regrowing bones? " Dean asked.

" I would rather not imagine that," Cortney shuddered.

" Besides regrowing bones, Professor Sprout said that there is a leaf missing from four different Mandrake plants," Neville stated.

" What would anyone want to do with Mandrake leaves? " Cortney asked pretending to be confused. One of those four leaves was currently in her mouth.

" Apparently Snape uses them for potions," Neville informed.

" Someone pays attention in Herbology," Cortney muttered.

" He also shows up to class," Seamus shot.

" For your information, I studied the whole night before Herbology," Cortney shot.

" Did you put pages in the fire and call that studying? " Dean asked.

" No...actually...Theodore Nott...he...helped me," Cortney said with a small smile. The three boys snickered.

" He did, did he? " Dean snickered. Cortney turned and glared at all three boys.

" What? " Cortney shot crossing her arms.

" Cortney likes Theodore Nott! Cortney likes Theodore Nott! " The boys sang, heat rose to her cheeks.

" What ?! Not I don't! " Cortney denied turning red.

" Look at her face! " Seamus pointed out laughing.

" Shut up! " Cortney demanded.

" She's as red as Weasly's hair! " Neville giggled.

" Does he help you with Astronomy? " Dean teased.

" Maybe," Cortney mumbled. The three boys roared with laughter. Cortney quickly walked away.
