Chapter Twelve

Pain. Such a short but harmful word. That's what Hermione is feeling right now. As Barty fell to the floor, Hermione hope she would faint, Harry did, she didn't. She hopes she wouldn't need to feel the word pain.

As Dumbledore ran in the room, his twinkling eyes landed on Hermione's scar. Mudblood. Hermione whimpered when McGonagal grabbed her and led her to the hospital wing. McGonagal hugged Hermione and she can't hold it in any more, she let her tears flow.

The last sense Harry felt before he fainted was taste. He felt blood in his mouth. But when he fainted, his feeling was undescribable. He felt nothing. He tried to reach out but he touched nothing, it was weird for Harry though he knows it's air, maybe it's not but, it's weird. Harry tried to walk, but he kept tripping on invisible things. Harry tried screaming out to the emptiness but it just echoed back.

Harry slumped to the floor, feeling exhausted but he just walked a few steps. He closed his eyes and prepare to have a rest, when he heard a deep growl and felt air tickling his neck. He slowly turned his face around and saw a black jaguar, very black indeed. Harry backed away but the jaguar seemed friendly. Harry found his courage to walk up ad tilted his head a little in confusion. Surprisingly, the jaguar tilted it's head a little too. Harry hesitantly reached out a hand and pat the jaguar's head. The jaguar lowered his head and, to Harry's surprise, he felt something oat his head. He jolted and backed away when he realized that... his animagus is right in front if him.

Harry actually can't really belief it. He thought his animagus would be a stag, but something went wrong, something happened. Harry racked his brain and groaned in frustration when he tried to find out what's wrong. You should stop using this spell Harry. I don't know, you just... can't use it. Hermione's words came rushing back and Harry stopped dead. The harming Patronus charm... that's it! Harry thought and covered his face with his hands. I should've listen to her. Why didn't I trust her? Harry groaned in frustration when he remembered that he used the Patronus charm in the whole Triwizard Tournament.

Harry wanted to punch himself, slap himself, just mentally kill himself. Because he just didn't listen to Hermione Granger, the SMART one. As he was about to slam his head on the wall, he heard a soft crying. "He... hello?" Harry cried but all he heard was just his echo. "Harry..." Harry heard a girl sob again and he looked around the room. He saw a blur suddenly, and he fell asleep while he's in his faint, searching the way to reach to Hermione.

"Harry..." Hermione sobbed and sat next to him. Madam Pomfrey said Harry might be in a coma, for a least a month. For some reason, he fell into a coma. But deep I side, Hermione knew why. The Patronus charm.

Why are you so stubborn Harry? Hermione thought and grabbed Harry's hand. Why didn't you listen to me? Hermione sobbed harder and Madam Pomfrey started to call Hermione away, but Hermione insisted. Madam Pomfrey gave up, and glanced at the new scar on Hermione's hand, so she turned soft and let Hermione be.

Yes... the new scar. Mudblood. This time it's real. It's now scared on Hermione's brain, forever. Even if her parents showered her with kisses, saying it would be alright, it still won't heal. Hermione covered her chest and let herself drown in sadness. She actually blamed herself. She knew Harry wouldn't listen about not using the Patronus charm, she could've just obliviated him. Hermione wanted to scream and just throw herself of the building, not caring about her parents or any thing. To Hermione, Harry is more important than anything else. Though she didn't know why. When ever she's near Harry, she had a warm feeling, a feeling that her parents can't give her. Yes, Hermione loved her parents. But if she need to choose between Harry and her parents, she thought she would choose her parents, but surprisingly, she chose Harry.

You might say Hermione is a bad girl, choosing her best friend,not her parents. But Hermione felt like Harry was more than a friend. Hermione... you're the brightest witch I've ever known and you don't even know you're in love. Ginny's words repeated in Hermione's eyes again and she scowled. No, she's sure she's not in love. All the romance stories she had read, all of them said that their tummies will be filled with butterflies. But Hermione felt more than butterflies, and it made her feel alive when she's next to Harry. Then it's just happiness. Happiness DOES make me feel wild. Hermione thought and shook of the thought of falling in love. She's not ready for any romance.

"Miss Granger!" McGonagal's voice boomed across the hospital wing and Hermione's head bounced up. "I can't accept this any more! You've been missing too much classes! Do you even know how to enlarge a thing? It's..." "Engorgio." Hermione cut of the teacher and replied emotionlessly and coldly. McGonagal sighed angrily and walked of as she can't say anything more.

The sobbing stopped and Harry looked around the blank room. The jaguar seemed to be following him around but Harry can't help it. Harry came up a cool name for the jaguar... Deathbringer. It does sound evil. But Harry found out what happens if he sued the Patronus charm too much. Some how, he did. So that's why he named the jaguar with an evil name. "Deathbringer? Do you know this place?" Harry asked and his voice bounced of the wall. The jaguar closed it's eyes and lied down on the floor. "Can you take me out of here?" As Harry said this, Deathbringer's head shot up and closed his eyes tightly.

"Arrrrrrrrghhhhhhh!" Harry yelled and his head hit something. "Ow!" A familiar girl voice cried and Harry looked around. "Cedric... Hermione... Voldemort..." Harry began panting and not knowing what he was saying. "Harry... it's alright, I'm here."
"HARRY! YOUR RYES!"
