Chapter 43 - CHAPTER : 43

He missed Quidditch, he really did. He missed being able to fly. He missed the feeling of freedom that flying gave him. He missed the adrenaline rush of racing for the snitch. He missed doing something that he was really good at.

He forced himself to calm down. The Fidelius would keep him safe. No one looking for Harry Potter or the Boy who lived would ever be able to find him. He could afford to take the slight risk of attending summer camp.

"Aah Mr. Dobbins, I take it?" said a man in a white coat as he entered the room. "I'm Dr. Hancock."

"Please to meet you, sir," said Harry.

"So, I see you're here for a complete physical. Need one for camp, eh? Good, good. So what's your sport?" asked Dr. Hancock cheerfully.

"Quidditch, sir," answered Harry.

"Aah Quidditch, never got into that myself. I always preferred Quodpot. Much more exciting, but then that's just me. Quidditch can be fun too I guess. What position do you play?"

"Seeker, I've never really played Quodpot," answered Harry.

"Oh, then you must try and get in a game or two at camp. No need to restrict yourself to just Quidditch, eh? Now then, why don't you lie down on the table and we can get this exam taken care of."

Harry lay down and Dr. Hancock waved his wand over Harry. "Hmm, you're a bit underweight for a fifteen...almost sixteen year old. Don't tell me you you're one of those kids who try to keep their weight down so that they can be faster on a broom. Not a good idea at all," said the doctor shaking his head at Harry.

Harry wondered how he was to explain the Dursleys. "It was actually my cousin," he said. "I was staying with some relatives last summer and my cousins really fat. Like really really fat. So my aunt put him on a diet and she...well she asked me to go on the diet as well. To support him you know."

The doctor shook his head again. "Very irresponsible of your aunt I must say. Still, you're obviously eating better now, so probably no harm done in the long run. I'll just prescribe you a few multivitamins, just to be on the safe side. Now for the rest of the examination..." he waved his wand over Harry again and said "Egritudo inspectoris." An image formed over Harry's body immediately. It looked like a complete three-dimensional hologram of a human skeleton.

"Whoa!" exclaimed Harry. "That's a cool spell."

"I take it you've never had a complete physical before then. This is just a standard diagnostic spell. Right now it's just showing me your bones, but we can also use it to scan your internal organs, circulatory system etcetera, etcetera," explained Dr. Hancock.

Harry shrugged, he had been in the hospital wing plenty of times but Madam Pomfrey had never performed a spell like this on him. Well, maybe she had done it while he was asleep.

"Hmm, that must have been a nasty break," said Dr. Hancock as he frowned at the image of Harry's arm. "Normally we don't re-grow a bone unless it's completely shattered. How on earth did you manage that?"

"That was actually...well it was just a simple break caused by a bludger but then one of the teachers at my last school tried to heal it and he...well, he managed to vanish the bone instead," explained Harry.

"That is quite shocking. What kind of school was this? I hope you sued them. Untrained people have no business trying to cast healing spells, let alone teaching at a school," exclaimed Dr. Hancock.

"Uhh, well, no I didn't. The school nurse managed to fix me up and I didn't really want to make a fuss," said Harry.

"You really should have," said the doctor. He twisted his wand a bit and the image floating above Harry changed to show his lungs. Harry was fascinated at the sight of his lungs expanding and deflating in his chest with every breath he took.

"Hmm, take a deep breath. Yes, that's fine, hold it. Now exhale...Well, your lungs look fine," the doctor said. He twisted his wand again and Harry's heart and other organs came into view.

The Doctor frowned, waved his wand again and the image of Harry's heart expanded and rotated in front of him. This was soon followed by, what looked to Harry's untrained eye as his kidneys and what might have been a liver or perhaps a spleen.

"Have you ever been bitten by a venomous creature of any type," asked the Doctor. "I'm seeing some slight organ damage, nothing that's immediately life threatening but it looks like the damage one would typically see caused by exposure to a Hemotoxic and Neurotoxic venom."
