A Moment of Vulnerability

Harry groaned "Merlin Megan, would you be my girlfriend and all that stuff he said?"

She turned around sweetly and kissed his lips again. "Of course I will. See that wasn't so hard now was it. It's not like you were asking me to marry you or something."

Poppy was holding her sides from the laughter and finally said "I know you three have a lot to talk about so I will give you an hour as that is how much time there is before curfew. Later tonight, I will be putting Harry back to sleep to undergo more treatment and I will let you know when he awakens."

Megan asked "Madam Pomfrey, could I sit with my boyfriend while he is here? I know he will be asleep but I could do my homework and it would give Cedric and Cho and chance to have some alone time without me around."

"That'd be nice dear as it will also give Dobby and me a break."

She walked out and left them to talk. They told him about all the happenings in the castle since he left and about the scoring of the second task along with Cedric's reactions. Harry grew a little upset when he was told that Krum wasn't penalized in any way for his attack and gave an evil grin when Cedric told him it wasn't against the rules to attack a fellow champion.

Cedric then decided to regale Harry with Megan's campaign of pain against Harry's former friends. As much as he would have liked to laugh at the situation, it just wasn't in Harry to do that and for a brief moment, a flash of pain passed across his face. Megan saw it and regretted it immediately as she thought she had hurt him. He reached out and grabbed her hand and gave her a small smile.

"Thanks, it just still hurts you know."

She leaned down and gave him a quick kiss on the lips. "I know and I wish it didn't. I guess that's what made me so mad. They couldn't see just how much they hurt you."

None of them wanted to go down that path right now so Cedric said "Wait till you hear about the interview."

It wasn't long before Poppy stuck her head back in the door and said that their tie was up. Megan gave him a quick kiss goodbye before saying "I'll try to be here when you wake up."

Cedric grabbed his hand and said "I'm sorry if I overstepped but I think all the crap surrounding you has gone on long enough. Our dads jumped in and are trying to help as well. It will come to a point where you're going to have to trust them and me and let us help you. It might even come to where you need to go under our protection."

Harry smiled up and replied "I trust you Cedric and know you are only trying to help. I'm sure you didn't do anything that will mess up my plans and you might have helped by creating an even bigger diversion. As far as everything else, I'm going to need someone to teach me how to run the Potter family so I'm hoping you guys would do that for me."

Cedric gave him a smile. "I think they would like that but we'll worry about it later. We will talk when this is over and it may mean you have to make some decisions but we will help you with it. Right now, you just need to concentrate on getting better."

As soon as they were gone, Poppy approached him with two vials in her hand. She handed him the first and said "That'll make you sleep until I decide it's time to wake you."

He looked at the vial for a minute before turning it up and draining it. He sighed "Goodnight Poppy. I'll see you whenever."

She chuckled and said "Oh don't be so melodramatic. It won't be long before the new and improved Harry is up causing trouble again.'

He gave her a grin as he drifted off. She poured the other vial down his throat and sat down as the potion entered his system. It wasn't long before she noticed him wince as the potion went to work. She leaned over and placed a kiss on his forehead and went back into her chambers.
