As promised, Harry was brought to the gates of Hogwarts where he was levitated through the gates before Dobby once again grabbed him and popped him into Poppy's quarters. She looked up and said "It was a good thing I was dressed. I would hate to see you scarred even more."
Harry smiled and replied "Oh, Poppy, if I was a lot older or you were a lot younger, you wouldn't be so worried about that. But I think my girlfriend might not like that."
She grinned broadly. "So you're going to ask her?"
"Yes Ma'am. You made a lot of sense and I thought I'd ask her as soon as I see her again if she doesn't kill me first."
"And ruin all my good work? I wouldn't allow that."
She walked over to a door and pushed it open. As she led Dobby with Harry to the bed, she said "It's not as nice as where we were but it should allow privacy. I should be getting those potions today so I will allow a quick visit before I put you back to sleep to let them do their work."
Harry groaned. "I've slept enough these last few days."
She sighed "Harry, you'll be glad you're asleep. This potion will make regrowing the bones in your arm seem like a walk in the park. Not only will it fix your shoulder but it will go through and fix any weaknesses in your bones. So it won't only be your shoulder hurting. After that potion has done its work, I will be giving you the musculus potion and start repairing your muscles. It will do the same thing that the super skele-gro will do and will fix any problems all throughout your body."
"So you're going to rebuild my whole body?"
"In a way yes. This potion is not widely known as it is based on muggle knowledge. What it does is react with your DNA and put your body the way it was supposed to be."
"Wow, I'm impressed that someone in the magical world actually pays attention to the muggle one. With everything that is going on, is it wise to change me too much?"
"I've thought of that and it won't work that fast. It will repair the damage and get you back up and around but the changes will happen over the course of months so it won't be anything sudden. Do you know anything about growth hormones?"
"Not really."
"Without going into detail, they basically stimulate growth in a young person who is not growing properly. This potion will do the same after it corrects the damage so you will need to eat properly and get a lot of rest. I imagine I will be looking up at you by the end of the summer."
"Well if that's the case, let's do it. We should be free of them by the end of summer. Um…how long will I be out?"
"At least for a few days. At the most, I'd say a week."
"Okay, I'd like to see Megan and Cedric before you put me out and then I will do it without any complaints."
She grinned "In a hurry to ask her?"
"No, just want to do it before I lose my nerve. What if she doesn't see me that way?"
"Then she doesn't. Now that you are all settled, I'm going down to breakfast. Have Dobby go get you something from the kitchens and I'll see if I can find your young lady while I'm out."

When she made it to the Great Hall, she glanced at the Hufflepuff table and noticed that Megan and Cedric were not there. She sat beside Professor Sprout at the head table and after they greeted each other Poppy asked "I don't see Mr. Diggory this morning. I trust that he is feeling fine and having no ill effects from his last task. You know how young men are in their willingness to come see me."
"Oh no my dear. Lords Jones and Diggory came into the Great Hall during dinner yesterday and took them home stating they had pressing family business. I received an owl from them last night saying their business took longer than expected and that they would return by lunch today." She then leaned over and whispered "My guess would be that Cedric is making good on his threat to Albus. I guess we will see in the paper soon."
Poppy said "If you wouldn't mind, tell Mr. Diggory that I'd like to do a follow up on him to make sure everything is fine. You might as well tell him to bring along Miss Chang as I'd like to check her over as well."
Minerva overheard this and asked "Will you need to see Miss Weasley?"
"Yes, most definitely. Just tell her to come whenever she has time today or tomorrow." She wiped a fake tear from her eye. "I just wish I could do the same for Mr. Potter."
