Hours pass as Orion didn't wake up. The curse that hit him left cuts, dagger like cuts. No one knew what happened. Ace, Alex and Alyssa was sitting near Orion's bed in the hospital wing, waiting for him to wake up. Nurses rushing back and forth checking up on him. Hours felt like days. Days felt like weeks. But Orion didn't wake up. Alyssa holds Orion's limp hand and says, her eyes tearing up, "Please be okay, Ori, we can't lose you. Not yet." Orion heard but didn't answer. His body was numb, his arms and legs was frozen still. He wanted to make sure his friends knew that he was okay, but how. He couldn't move. Then Albus Dumbledore, Minerva McGonagall, Severus Snape and Horace Slughorn walks into the hospital wing, concerned for Orion. Minerva asks "What happened?" Ace looks up at McGonagall and replies, stammering "W-we don't know Professor, we was just walking back to our dorms after our detention when we saw Orion on the floor covered in his own blood.." Alex and Alyssa nods in an agreeance. 

Then Orion slowly grips Alyssa's hand as he slowly wakes up, very disorientated as he mumbles drunkly "What happened?" Alyssa looks at Orion and says, carefully rubbing his knuckles "You got hit with a curse. Are you okay?" Orion nods and tries to sit up but falls, still acting drunk "Yeah no, i feel like crap" Ace, Alex and Alyssa laughs and says all together "Don't try getting up Blackwood" Orion glares at them and puts his middle finger at the three of them then he mumbles "I don't remember anything. Just that there was footsteps then me and the figure dueled and i passed out." Everyone went silent. Then Dumbledore asked calmly "Is that all you remember?" Orion nods as he sighs. Orion looks at Alyssa and asks, he wasn't as disorientated then he was a few minutes ago but he was still pale due to the amount of blood he lost, "H-How long was i out for?" 

Alyssa checked the time, she shrugged as she questioned "Around 2 hours?" as she looks at Ace. Ace nods. Alex puts his hand on Orion's head and chuckles as he says "You are lucky we found you otherwise you would've died." Orion groans as he swats Alex's hand away. His force was weak but still strong. Ace chuckles as McGonagall shakes her head, mumbling "Just like his sister." Orion looks at McGonagall and asks "What about my sister?" McGonagall chuckles slightly as she mentions "You act like your sister sometimes" Orion slowly shrugs and slowly sits up, then he asks "Will i be okay for Quidditch on Saturday?" Dumbledore nods and explains "Yes, if Professor Slughorn provides you with a healing potion, you will be able to play Quidditch on Saturday."

Orion smiles as he says to Ace "Hufflepuff is so going to beat Slytherin Saturday." Ace shakes his head and sticks his tongue out.

It was Friday, the day before the match against Slytherin. Orion and the others was walking around when Orion felt something off. He looks around and asks "Guys, is it just me or is it really quiet?" The others nods as Alex explains "Yeah its an eerie quiet, and its cold" as he points at a patch of grass that was covered in frost.

Then there was a black hooded figure as Orion shouts "DEMENTORS!" He points to the sky, 30 dementors hovered around the courtyard as Orion orders "Alyssa, Alex, Ace go get McGonagall and Dumbledore i can handle the dementors." Alyssa looks at Orion dumbfounded and exclaims "Hell no! You just recovered from a bad curse i am not letting you go out and confront dementors!"

Ace and Alex nods in agreement as Orion commented "Alyssa, Kingsley taught me how to defend myself against dementors, just go and get McGonagall!" Alyssa groans a little and takes Ace and Alex with her. Orion sighs as he mumbles "Its just you and me dementors." His grip on his wand was deathly tight, his knuckles turned white as he steps out to the courtyard.

The dementors start circling around Orion. He sighs as he points his wand to the sky where most of the demetors are and shouts "EXPECTO PATRONUM!"  As a silver jackal flies out of his wand, chasing away the dementors. The bright light from the jackal scares the dementors, making them fly away. Orion pants a little as he lowers his wand, once all the dementors vanish. He looks up as McGonagall, Alyssa, Ace and Alex run back over. They all looked stunned. Orion smirks as he asks "What? Its not difficult?" Alyssa looks at Orion in the eyes and points out "Orion, you are a 17 year old boy and you just took on 30 dementors." Then she asks "How?"

Orions smirk was still there as he explains, "Kingsley and Mad-eye both taught me how to defend myself against dementors and how do to a full body patronus, its not that hard."

McGonagall sighs and mumbles "Just like his sister"
