Ch. 4



“Hey, Poppy,” Harry said weakly. “I’m sorry I’m back to bother you again. You don’t need to do a scan. I already know what’s happening. The virus is continuing the mutation that it began when I first contracted it. Sev’s potion stopped it for a bit, but I don’t think it will stop this time. I think I just want to get cleaned up and sleep. After the changes are complete, you can examine me.”

“I’m sorry Harry. I just need to take a little blood to do tests on before I can let you sleep,” she said softly wishing that he didn’t have to go through this. “The three of you will be quarantined in the back room. Sev is cleaning it up right now with Mr. Malfoy as we speak.”

“Alright. You can have some of my blood. You would think you had taken enough of it over the years, you vampire.” He held out his arm to her.

“Harry, really. You have no reason to call ME names, especially when you yourself are a weremouse; I am most definitely not a vampire.” She slipped the needle in while she talked to him. ”See already done. Now I think that was enough time for them to fix up the room.” She raised her wand and cast a quick spell on the vile of blood she had drawn, and soon a roll of parchment landed in her hand. She glanced at it briefly and then waved her wand again and it disappeared to be put on her desk. “You seem to have elevated counts all around, but nothing too dangerous.” She waved her wand at Harry this time and another roll of parchment appeared. “Yes, heart rate is elevated, blood pressure is high. Your systems are functioning within normal parameters, but not within your normal parameters. I think I’ll have to check on you throughout the night in order to follow this. But don’t worry, no major examination until the morning. I’ll have the house-elves bring some food up for us all. And you had better make sure you eat everything on your plate. We can’t have you losing any more weight, like you do during the summer.”

“That was not my fault. My aunt and uncle put Dudley on a diet and so they fed me less than him so he wouldn’t be disappointed that I received as much food as he did.”

Madam Pomfrey clucked her tongue, “That is no reason to starve someone almost to death. This last summer was the worst yet. And don’t say it was them, because I know that you weren’t eating much before school ended last year. You haven’t eaten regularly since Voldemort fell. And I’ve noticed several times when you haven’t eaten anything all day except for dinner and even then you pick over it. You don’t get anything from the kitchens. So either you eat this food or I’ll start you on those restorative potions you love so much,” the nurse threatened.

Harry cringed. “Ewww. I do eat. I just haven’t felt like eating much of the food that gets served. I think it’s the mouse in me. Honestly! I was going to come see you about it today, before this happened.”

Madam Pomfrey gave him one of the looks reserved specifically for him, “Hey, don’t give me that look. I mean it, I was. I have these weird cravings all the time, for things like fresh vegetables, sunflower seeds, cheese, jam, and fruit and nuts. When I was shopping before the school term at the pet store for owl treats, I ended up buying myself some of those rodent treats. I ate them all at once. I realized later when Ron asked me what I was eating on the train. I had to tell him I didn’t have anymore and didn’t let him see the bag. I was really embarrassed.

“As the years go by I find myself acting more mouse-like. My house has started calling me Squeak, because I’ve started squeaking whenever I’m nervous. I’m a mess, Poppy, and now my body’s changing even more.”

She sat down on the bed across from him as he continued talking, “I already have to hide what I am from my friends and that’s hard enough. I can’t keep this up much longer. After the final battle I absorbed Voldemort’s magic and that is one of the main reasons why my behavior’s changed so much. I’ll be glad when NEWTS are over. Then I can finally relax. Then I can go live by myself and stop having to hide what I am constantly.” Harry looked down at his hands as he finished talking, not looking towards the nurse that knew him so well.

“And what are you exactly, Potter. I mean if you’ve infected me, I have the right to know.” Draco’s voice came from behind them.
