Be awake

Madam Pomfrey’s first stop is to look at you, since you’re currently her only patient. As she approaches you, you blink sleepily at her. Madam Pomfrey clicks her tongue as she gazes down at you.

“So you’re awake?” she says. “Didn’t I say something about getting a good night’s sleep?”

“I just kept tossing and turning all night”, you say sheepishly. “I did try, though.”

“Oh well”, Madam Pomfrey responds. “It’s nearly breakfast time, anyway. Let’s do a final check up before your friend comes to pick you up.”

Madam Pomfrey is finishing her examination when Ron walks into the Hospital Wing. He looks a bit sleepy and glares at you.

“Another injury, Harry?” he says.

You mumble a self-conscious reply.

“Nearly ready to go”, the matron says. “Just one last thing. There’s this potion that should fix you up, but I’ll warn you now, it tastes quite bad.”

“Oh no!”, you protest. “I’m sick of bad tasting potions. Don’t you have something nice?”

Madam Pomfrey sighs. It seems like she’s keen to get you out of the Hospital Wing as quickly as possible.

“You could have half a block of chocolate instead”, she says. “But you’ll have to refrain from any strenuous exercise for half a day.”
