Get Well Soon

Hogwarts, Hospital Wing, Mar. 3

"He's waking up now so back away so I can check him" a stern voice said.

As he was slowly helped up Harry winced feeling his stomach ache. Blinking the sleep out of his eyes and reaching out for his glasses he mumbled "what happened?"

Someone placed his glasses in his hand but didn't let it go so he had to use his other hand to put them on. Looking around Harry could see his father, Sirius, Viktor and Calypso, however, all Harry could focus on was a very irritated Madam Pomfrey.

"Out of the way you lot" she said as she pushed her way through them and sat on the opposite side of the bed facing Calypso who hadn't moved unlike the others.

"Where's-" Before Harry could even say a second word he was by Madam Pomfrey who said "No talking mister Potter, even the slightest movement will change the results"

Understanding the look on his son's face James said "Your brother is fine. He only had a couple of cuts and bruises and he even came third. Lily and his friends have been trying to cheer him up 'cause he thought he was the reason you weren't waking up and Snape" James paused for a moment, seemingly for dramatic effect and to empathize his hatred of the potions teacher "is being a terrible teacher, I mean Nathan was so worried about you that he did accidental magic!"

Noticing Harry's confusion Viktor quickly said "You have been out for a whole week and your brother was skipping classes to sit with you. The potions teacher did not like such an arrangement and gave him daily detention, I believe that is actually where he is right now"

Piggybacking on Viktor and James words, Calypso explained "You were fine physically but were you had completely exhausted your magic and the spell on you that caused the Merfolk to go berserk was siphoning your magic to stay powered and it took days for it to be removed".

Having finished her spells Madam Pomfrey stood up to leave but not before saying "He'll be fine but he needs to rest, you have five minutes but don't let him talk too much, Mr Potter, you may stay with your son if you so wish".

Breaking the silence as no one wanted to be the first to leave Viktor said with an apologetic smile "I'm sorry Harry but Karkaroff wants me back soon".

Quickly walking to Harry's side Sirius said "I've been on her bad side enough times to now when she means business so we better leave but before I skedaddle, here's a gift from me and Moony. He would have liked to have been here but he was… sick a couple of days ago and, well, you know how rough it can get for him"

Placing the gift at Harry's feet Sirius then did a weirdly graceful run on his toes, trying to get away from the approaching Madam Pomfrey who was now walking back to the group and was holding what Harry assumed to be a very disgusting tasting potion.

"I also should head off, I need to tell your mother that you're awake and see if I can find Nathan on my way out to tell him your fine." Pausing for a moment James continued by saying "Try not to tire him out too much Calypso" before racing off after Sirius.

"I see that your father and Sirius haven't matured since they left Hogwarts" Pomfrey remarked, with an amused expression threatening to break her normally stern personality - not that anyone would ever believe them.

Glancing at the pair she sighed before giving Harry the potion "You'll be asleep in five minutes once you take it but you still need rest to get better so don't talk too long"

As Madam Pomfrey walked back to her office muttering about Potters and their incessant and unapologetic visitors Harry and Calypso chatted for a bit.

"You know I'm pretty sure she is counting down the days until they won't be a Potter nearby to get into accidents when she's the nurse" Harry whispered, thinking about all the time Nathan's - and to a lesser extent his father's - trips to the hospital wing.

"Considering what has happened to your brother and the fact that you're now here you might be right" Calypso said with a smirk.

Giving his hand one last squeeze before letting go she said "I've seen you shrug off worse Harry so make sure to get out soon. Keep in mind you've already lost a whole week to prepare for your end of year projects".

Smiling Harry replied "Of course, you didn't think this would actually keep me down did you?" Calypso laughed before nodding at his words, the two shared a brief kiss and then Calypso also left. Grabbing the potion Harry squeezed his nose and down it in one go, yawning as the potion took immediate effect he got comfortable for what was likely another long sleep.
