Chapter 13 - Hospital Wing (1/2)
”He has a minor concussion, but otherwise, it'll be alright. But he sill almost fractured his skull. He is going to have a nasty headache when he wakes up.”
”I'm relieved, after all, it was partially my fault for this.”
”Minerva, do not worry too much. You did your best.”
Arth heard voices talking and frowned. It was annoying, why couldn't they just let him sleep? His splitting headache did nothing to make Arth any more sympathetic.
”What is the boy's name Minerva? We should notify his House Head at once.”
There was a pause.
”I can't seem to recall the boy's name, although, I'm positive that he is a Ravenclaw.”
”His name is Arthur, Arthur Kingscrown, Professor McGonagall.”
”Thank you miss Granger, then I shall leave Mr. Kingscrown with you three as I head down to notify Professor Flitwick.”
Arth heard footsteps moving away from him and felt relieved. He could finally get some rest.
”How long do you think it will take for him to wake up Madam Pomfrey?”
”Somewhere between now and tomorrow dear. The more he sleeps, the less pain he will feel when he wakes up.”
”That was a nasty drop though, ain't that right Harry?”
”Yeah, I'm honestly surprised that he survived without a helmet.”
”What's a helmet?”
”It's some sort of muggle protection thingy that-”
Arth let out a groan. ”Can you guys please let me sleep in peace?”
”Arth!”
Arth opened his eyes and saw that four people were surrounding him. ”Where am I?”
”The hospital wing. You hit your head pretty hard when Professor McGonagall knocked out the troll.” Replied Hermione. ”The nice looking lady is Madam Pomfrey.”
”I hope I won't see you again Mr. Kingscrown. Tackling trolls since your first year, I can't imagine just how much trouble you will get yourself into.”
Arth gave a curt nod before facing the other two people.
”Why the heck are Ron and Harry here?”
Ron gave Arth a nudge in the shoulder, which made his headache worse. ”We were the that called the teachers. Reckoned that you didn't know about the troll and needed a heads up. Didn't expect for you to be fighting it though mate. Bloody amazing.”
Harry nodded in agreement. ”Dumbledore told Professor McGonagall, Quirrell, and Snape to follow us, just in case. He really is smart, predicting that something like the troll escaping the dungeons would happen.”
Arth sighed before lying back down onto the bed. ”Ok. Now unless you have anything else to add, go away. I wanna sleep.”
”The four of us got five points each.”
”Great, now go away.”
