Chapter 139: A Beetle (1/2)

Next Morning, Chris was the last one to get out of the hospital wing. Cedric left first then Harry but Madam Pomfrey insisted her to stay a little while.

”Your body needs a little more time to recover from the injuries, dear.” She said when Chris asked if she can go with Harry. ”The thorns were poisonous. I need to check if they did much more internal damage.”

Hearing this Mrs Weasley also asked Chris to stay and to be sure if anything is wrong with her body. So finally Chris agreed.

She was lying on her bed, staring at the ceiling, silently. Ginny, Luna and Colin left for breakfast. A squeaky voice broke the silence.

”Miss!”

Chris looked down and saw Dobby was standing beside her bed.

”Hi Dobby.” Chris said flatly.

”Your wand, Miss.” Dobby was holding Chris's wand.

Chris got up.

”Where did you find it?”

She thought she wasn't going to get back her wand and she have to get a new one but she liked the old one very much. She took it from Dobby and felt really happy.

”In Professor Moody's office, Miss.” Dobby said. ”Professors were searching it when they found your wand Miss. Dobby volunteered to return Miss's wand.”

”Thanks Dobby.” Chris said then she remembered Crouch and Winky. ”How's Winky, Dobby?”

Dobby's ears drooped slightly.

”Winky's not well, Miss. She's still crying in the kitchen and is refusing to do anything else.” he said sadly, his enormous round green eyes, large as tennis balls, downcast. ”Madam Pomfrey gave Winky potions but Winky doesn't want to take it.”

Chris sighed.

”Take good care of her Dobby and if you need any help you can ask me.” She replied.

”Miss is very kind.” Dobby squealed. ”Dobby was....”

At that moment Jason entered the Hospital wing. He looked relieved, after noticing there was no one near her bed.

”Hey.” Chris smiled.

”Hi.” Jason sat on her bed.

Dobby silently made his way out, without saying anything else.

”So they ask a house-elf to keep your company?” Jason said with his usual sarcastic tone but he looked a little off.

”He wanted to give me back my wand.” Chris showed the wand.

Jason extended his hands, Chris thought he was going to take the wand but he hold her hands tightly. Then there's silence for few moments. Jason stared at their hands and Chris stared at him.

”What happened, Chris?” Jason asked quietly.

Chris thought it was going to be difficult to explain everything as she was telling it to someone for the first time. But to her surprise it wasn't, she was talking more than she expected.... about her dreams... the four founders... her kidnapping... the strange creature in the maze.... Voldemort comics back... Malgino... the keys... Barty Crouch... Fudge...

”He said I Confunded Cedric. He thinks Harry and I are lying...” Chris finished with a deep sigh.

Chris was sure Jason was going to ask questions about it to make sure if she's telling everything right or not but he didn't. He just pulled her into a warm hug. Only now Chris realized how much she needed this hug. Chris burried her head on his shoulder. Jason breathed inside her messy hairs, which gave a ticklish feeling around her neck. She smiled to herself. After few minutes Jason pulled back.

”I don't care who's getting his body back or who wants keys or anything... I just don't care.” Jason said. ”I just want you to be safe. You're different Chris and you're special to me. Please stay away from this.”

Chris was smiling but at the last line, she frowned.

”I can't Jason. Don't you get it. Malgino wants the keys.. and also maybe wants me dead.” Chris said. ”I can't back out now. I'm already inside it.”

Jason sighed.

”Fine. I get it. Just.... just be safe. You can do that right?” He said.

Chris nodded and hugged him again.
