Chapter: time heals wounds

I walk towards the white light again, but this time I go the other way around, so out of the light. I see my body, it lies rigid, stiff and completely lifeless under the linen cloth. I approach myself and unite my soul with my body. I open my eyes, gasp, and tear the cloth off my face. Everything is dark, I can only slowly make out the outlines of the room, I look around and see Hermione sleeping peacefully with a smile on her face.

I sneak quietly out of the room, make my way to Dumbeldore's office to tell him I'll be back. I quietly open the office door and see Snape leaning over Professor Dumbeldore with a vial of deep red liquid.

"What are you doing there, Professor?" I ask in an angry tone.

"That is a soul quantum, Mister Potter," he says, aghast, looking at me skeptically.

"A WHAT?" I shout outraged, as Dumbeldore lies pale and rigid.

"Soul quantum, a potion that frees you from your soul for a short time in order to be able to contact the dead," says Snape in a calm but serious tone.

Now I remember hearing Dumbeldore's voice up in heaven, it all makes sense now. Yes, Dumbeldore and Snape, both wanted me to let Hermione kill me, what she didn't know was that I had a protective spell on me that lifted the curse and made me come back. Clever the two gentlemen.

Dumbeldore is slowly waking up, looking at me and smiling. He stands up and takes me briefly in his arms and asks me: “whether anyone would have seen me on the way here?” I meticulously shake my head and tell everyone what I've seen and experienced. Snape nods briefly and walks quickly out of Dumbeldore's office. I sat down next to Dumbeldore at his desk and listened to what happens now, with Hermione and me.

First of all, I should get back to normal with Hermione, that is, I shouldn't fall into the house right away. Afterwards she will also notice that I was in her dream and it was real. I agree, eat a few cookies and go to bed, as I'm tired from the long journey.

I arrive upstairs in the boys' dormitory and am stared at strangely, well it's no wonder I was almost 3 days dead. Ron turns pale and Neville finally falls over, only Dean grins cheekily at me and says: "Well, old man probably dreary up there, huh? "I grin back cheekily and say:" No, it was actually nice, but I missed you all. "After long, detailed explanations, I finally go to bed and fall asleep flattened.

The next morning I wake up very early, jump into the shower and look forward to my breakfast. Down in the great hall, I get horrified screams and scared looks, only Pansy and Draco both fall around my neck and are happy to see me.The two had been initiated into the plan by Dumbeldore through Draco's father. I look at Hermione's empty seat, apparently she is still in the hospital room and sleeping, will go to her afterwards and visit her. I munch hard, drink my beloved pumpkin juice and finally disappear in the direction of the hospital wing.

I knock carefully and wait, when nobody opens, I step in and see that Hermione is already up and having breakfast. When she sees me, she starts screaming and drops her toast in shock. I rush over to her, pick up the toast and try to calm her down. She looks at me completely disturbed and cries, throws herself on my neck and keeps mumbling that she is sorry. I take her in my arms and comfort her, she breaks away from my embrace and suddenly tells me that it sounds so familiar and familiar to her. Startled, I step back and think of her dream, I hope she doesn't notice it, that would be far too early now. She looks at me questioningly and I tell her that everything is fine and she doesn't have to worry. I'm fine, well almost, it annoys me to know that Mine loves me, but I'm not allowed to tell or show it to her. Not yet.

She takes my hand in hers and caresses it gently, I get goose bumps and I feel dizzy with happiness. She tries to pull me to her, but I back down, she stares after me in disbelief as I run out of the room. I can't do that, not after everything that has happened in the past few days and weeks. Sorry, I have to get back to normal in our friendship and then I can go a step further. Sadly, I walk through the hallways of the school and come across Draco, who is standing in a corner and smoking. He politely offers me one and we smoke together, he asks me how it should go on with me and Hermione? From his stories I can tell that he is now firmly together with Pansy. I'm happy for both of them, I would also like to be with Mine, but it doesn't work. It won't be that fast with love at first.
