The next morning I awoke to a throbbing pain in my hand. When I looked at it I gagged. It was swollen to twice its normal size with the area around the bite an ugly shade of green. I showed it to Hermione who immediately told me to go to the Hospital wing. I reluctantly agreed, only hoping that Madame Pomfrey wouldn't ask too many questions. So with that, I wrapped my hand in a towel and left for the Hospital wing.
