Part 23 - Nymphadora's point of View
Still Harry Point of View.
I was so worried about what could have happened behind there. I saw the nurses coming and going…
Voice: Harry?
I turned to see that Professors Dumbledore and Mc Gonagall were here.
Me: Sir, Professors Mc Gonagall.
Dumbledore: Listen Harry, we understand that I’d like to stay with your girlfriend at the moment, but we think it’s better for you to stay at Hogwarts until she wakes.
Me: WHAT?
Dumbledore: It’s for your own good, Harry.
Me: I’m sorry Sir but I’m not leaving her until she wakes.
Mc Gonagall: Don’t be stubborn Potter, but it does be wiser if you get back to the castle with us. It’s too dangerous, especially for you…
Me: I really don’t care.
Dumbledore was looking at me, and I think he understood that I really needed to stay here.
Dumbledore: Alright Harry, you can stay here. Minerva, will you please call some members of the Order to look after Miss Tonks and Mr Potter while they’ll stay here.
Mc Gonagall seems surprised by Dumbledore’s decision, but I was grateful.
Mc Gonagall: Alright Professor, I’m going to do it right away. So she turned on her heels and walked away… but suddenly she stopped…
Mc Gonagall: WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE???
I walk to her to see what that was all about. Then, I saw three heads coming out of nowhere.
Head#1: Hi Harry.
Me: Hi Ron. What are you three doing here?
Hermione: We want to see our friends of course!
Me: Is this my invisible cloak? And THIS, you took the Marauder’s map with you! Are you insane?!!
Miriam: Shhhh, don’t worry, we were really prudent, no one except you and Mc Gonagall did see us.
Me: I hope so.
Miriam: Don’t worry! So, how is she?
Me: I don’t know, the doctor and nurses came out saying that they almost lost her, she had lost a lot of blood… *tears in the voice*
Hermione: But she is not…
Me: No no no, of course not. If she was, I’d be dead too.
So, we talked a bit more. Dumbledore saw them and he didn’t say anything even if he perfectly knew that no one at the school gave them the authorization to get out of the castle.
Me: Maybe you should leave, it’s getting really late.
Miriam: But we didn’t see her yet.
Ron: And how about you?
Me: I’m staying. They are preparing her room. I‘ll see her there.
Hermione: You sure you don’t want to go back the castle?
Me: I’m sure.
Hermione: J Okay, if it’s that you really want. I’ll take the lessons for you and Dora; I’ll send them to you by owl everyday.
Me: Thanks.
Then, we say goodbye.
Ron: Hey, we’ll see you both very soon and anyway, you two will spend Christmas at my house, so in the worse case we’ll see you in 2 weeks.
Me: yeah.
Miriam: Bye Harry.
Me: Bye.
And they put the cloak on and they left.
*FAST FORWARDS 2 WEEKS*
It has been 2 weeks since Nymphadora has been bringing to St Mangoust. She didn’t wake yet. Harry has been returning to the castle some days and then he came back to see if she was up. Of course, she wasn’t.
They decided that she wasn’t in danger anymore, so they decided to take her to the Weasleys’ house for Christmas, even if she was still unconscious. There was a nurse who came everyday to see if anything was better and to replace or change the needle for her alimentation.
Mrs Weasley was very protective of her. She considered her as her own daughter. There were still no signs of Nymphadora’s parents even if Dumbledore tried everything he could do to explain how much it was important for when she’ll wake up to see that her parents took care of her.
Nymphadora’s body was not as whiter as before. She had some colour back, her hair were back to a normal black colour. But it wasn’t the punchy colours as she used to have, just black.
Harry was still very sad, and he didn’t spend much time with the others. Most of his time, he was by Nymphadora’s bed and the others join him sometimes for a play or something to try to distracting him from all the pain he felt. He was hoping so hard that Nymphadora will wake up at any second. He was sure of that, she’ll wake one day.
*CHRISTMAS’ DAY*
I wake up because of the sound coming from downstairs. Someone was screaming. So I put my glasses on and I run down there. Maybe Dora has awoken but I came downstairs, I just saw Ginny who was unpacking her presents. She has received a new book she wanted for a long time, and for once, it was a really new one, not an occasion on.
Ron came behind me, and Miriam was following him, holding his hand. And I thought about Dora. She wasn’t awake yet. I saw her body from the crack of the door.
Ron: Merry Christmas Harry!
Miriam: Merry Christmas Harry!!
Me: Merry Christmas to you two!
Ron: are you coming to open your presents?
Me: go ahead, I’m going to say hello to Dora, I’m coming.
So I entered the small room where Dora’s has been sitting for the past weeks.
Me: Hello sweetie, Merry Christmas to you! I’ve bought you something, I put it understand the Christmas tree, you’ll open it when you’ll wake. I miss you. It’s so sad to spend this time without you by my side…
I heard Hermione saying hello and Merry Christmas to everyone. I just stood here for few minutes. Everyone else was up and they were calling me, so I decided to go to them, saying hello and once again Merry Christmas to everyone and then, opening my presents.
I had a lot this year. Everyone was unpacking their presents too. And so do I.
I was unpacking Hermione’s present when I saw and heard something from behind the tree. It was someone with red hair, like a Weasley, who was murmured some words I could hear.
Person: How to open this bloody, bloody, bloody, bloody, bloody present!! Oh come on!! Please, open… I want to know what it is!!
I start laughing to myself; Ginny was little a real kid when it was about presents and all!
Then, I stood up because I needed some scissors to open my present, so I go to the kitchen. Here was Mrs Weasley who was in admiration in front of her presents with Mr Weasley who was already trying the Muggle objects I bought him. And Ginny who was already starting reading the book she had.
Me: So, do you like it?
Ginny: Yeah, I wanted it so bad! I’m so happy.
Me: And what about the bloody, bloody, bloody, bloody, bloody present of yours that you couldn’t open? What was it?
Ginny: What are you talking about?
Me: I saw you under the tree trying to open your present…
Ginny: My presents weren’t under the tree, they were on the table.
Me: So who was it?
Ginny: I have no idea.
Me: Anyway, have you seen Ron and Miriam?
Ginny: I surprised them snogging under a mistletoe J and then, when they saw me, they went back to the living room!
Me: J Those two! It must have been Miriam I saw earlier.
Ginny: Go ask her.
Me: Yeah, see ya.
Ginny: See you
So I got a pair of scissors and I went back to the living room. I saw Ron and Miriam talking and smiling.
Me: Hello lovebirds!
Miriam: Oh hi Harry! So, what did you get?
Harry: I got some chocolate, a new kit for my Firebolt, some books which I believe some of them are from you…
Miriam: And what make you think it was from me??
Me: Because it’s talking about fairies haha!
Miriam: J yeah, those one are from me J
Me: and of course my famous and annual pullover from Mrs Weasley J. And you, what did you get?
Ron and Miriam showed me what they got, I was cool, everyone was happy with what they got.
Me: And Ron, what about your bloody present you tried to open under the tree?
Ron: What are you talking about?
Me: I saw someone with red hair talking all alone under the Christmas tree, I thought it was you because of your hair. This person was really upset because he or she can’t open her present…
Then Mrs Weasley came out of the kitchen.
Mrs Weasley: Special Christmas breakfast today!! Everyone come and sit!! Hurry up!!
It was impressive, to see everyone coming: Ron, Miriam, Hermione, Ginny, Fred, George, Bill, Fleur, Charlie, Mr & Mrs Weasley, and me in the same place, at the same time. There were so many people!
So we all start eating and drinking whatever we want. The twins were laughing about some jokes they told to Bill and Charlie.
It feels so good to feel this way. I have feel so comfort for a very long time. I spent those weeks so sad that this feeling of joy around me is so good.
Mrs Weasley: Ginny!! Will you come here!! And stop insulting this present!! You are not going to spend the rest of your life under this tree!
Ginny: But I’m here Mum.
Ginny was around the table not under the tree. So I turned to see who Mrs Weasley was talking to.
Mrs Weasley: Oh you’re here Ginny, I’m sorry. So who is it? Fleur?
Fleur: I am here and I don’t have red hair.
Mrs Weasley: Hermione? Miriam?
Miriam and Hermione: We’re here.
So Mrs Weasley walked to the tree to see who it was. And then, she gasped and dropped her tray on the floor. All the glasses which were on broken on the floor. And then, she ran to Dora’s room.
Everyone went quiet and stood up, practically at the same time.
The person was talking all alone again and we could hear him or her complaining out loud.
Person: Bloody present!! I can’t open it!! Oh please come on! Why is it so quiet, come on, talk, sing, it’s Christmas for Merlin’s sake!! Does anyone of you have seen the scissors?
Me: I’ve got them.
Person: Can you give them to me honey?
Me: Honey?
Person: Why? You don’t like when I call you honey Harry?
Me: Can you please just, come out of under the tree?
Person: I can’t! My present is blocked under the tree; I really want to have it. It’s the one you offered me Honey.
Me: Stop saying Honey! I’m not your Honey! I’m Dora’s honey alright!
Person: Are you stupid or something?
Me: WHAT?! Get the hell out of here!!
Person: Ouch, don’t scream at me baby!
Me: I said get the HELL out of here!!
Person: Wait minute! Here.
I heard someone screaming a name, but I was in another world… I did hear it but I couldn’t believe it
Back to Nymphadora’s Point of View
Me: Merry Christmas everyone.
Harry: Dora?
Me: Yes? So you really don’t like when I call you honey, *take a baby voice* my sweetie baby J. Why are you all looking at me like this? Like my hair? I took ginger one for the occasion, just to make sure that I’m an assortment to the family J
But Harry and the others just stayed like it was not real that I could be alive.
Harry: You’ve awoken…
