Chapter 301: Professor Attacked
Despite Harry's insistence that his arm was fine and he could leave, Madam Pomfrey insisted he stay overnight in the Hospital Wing.
"Your arm is all bent out of shape!" she exclaimed. "If you want to be able to use your wand again, you need to make sure it's fully healed before you go."
So Harry stayed.
The Gryffindor team came by in the evening, bringing cakes, sweets, and several bottles of Pumpkin Juice, as though they were about to throw a lively party. Unsurprisingly, they were promptly thrown out for seriously disturbing the other patients.
...
"I told you ten minutes ago that you'd be kicked out," Kyle said, laughing as Fred and George returned to the Great Hall empty-handed. "Even Professor Dumbledore would've been booted out of the Hospital Wing if he tried to celebrate there, let alone you two."
"We had to give it a shot."
The twins sat down at the long Hufflepuff table, taking the condiment dish Cedric handed them without protest.
"Honestly..." Fred muttered as he peeled a potato, "if a few laughs would wake up Flint or Filch, it'd be worth it."
"Especially Filch... he might even have to thank us," George added with a wink.
Filch was also in the Hospital Wing, concealed completely behind the heavy curtains drawn around his bed.
