Sitting up in an instant I groaned before laying back down as I was held down and I blinked, struggling to see
"Don't get up"
"I have practice-"
"And I told your captain to go and fuck himself"
"Ali?"
"Nope. Adam"
"Adam?"
"Hi Lia" he mumbled quietly as I rubbed my eyes forcefully, blinking as I tried to look about, seeing nothing as I started panicking while he peeled my eyelids apart, dropping something onto my eyes as it stung
"Yeah, that's going to hurt"
"Funny that: I realised" I muttered as my vision started clearing up and I looked about, turning my head to look at Adam who was sitting on the bed beside me, trying to offer a smile as I looked past him, Holly and Oscar slumped against each other on a singular armchair as he looked away from them and to me
"About an hour or so ago they fell asleep"
"They came?"
"Of course they did, they wanted to make sure you were okay, Holly the most"
"Really?"
"Really. It was her that flooed me. She couldn't get to Nathan or Jayden so she got ahold of me and I came right here"
"What happened?"
"....what do you think happened?"
"I don't know..... it was like defence against the dark arts again"
"It was worse" he told me quietly as I sat up, ignoring his protest as I sighed quietly, looking around the room we were in
"Nadia's quarters-"
"God that's gross. Get me out of here-"
"Lia, it was the closest place. And it's fine, she definitely won't come here-"
"Is she even here?"
"No-"
"I'm not surprised. She's never been around her kids" I scoffed as I rubbed my back, a strange tingling pain moving about my spine as I winced
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, it's just sore" I told him quietly as he moved and sat behind me, gently tapping down my spine as I shook my head slightly, making him stop as he moved back around while he looked at me confused
"I don't understand how that's sore.... there doesn't seem to be anything wrong...."
"It'll be nothing. It's fine, I'm fine"
"I don't think you are Amelia" he mumbled quietly, tilting my head back as he looked at me closely, the door opening as I turned, Snape standing there as he stared between us before looking back to me
"She's not going back-"
"Professor Dumbledore has requested that as soon as she woke up she was to head back to her dorm-"
"She isn't well enough to go back to her dorm. She's staying here until I say she can go-"
"It is not for you to decide when she is to go and when she's not-"
"Right now it is up to me. Because I'm a healer, you're not and Dumbledore's not. She's not leaving here until I know that she's completely fine to do so-"
"Adam, I'm fine. Honestly" I told him quietly rubbing at my eyes again as a sense of tiredness came over me and I stood up, grabbing my bag as he turned to look at me ludicrously
"You're not. For once you need to stop being so stubborn and take care of yourself-"
"I do take care of myself-"
"Right now you're not"
"I've got homework to do anyway-"
"See?! This isn't taking care of yourself! Stressing yourself out with work isn't going to help your health" he told me, as I tried to hide my tired blink, staring at each other silently for a minute or so before he let out a reluctant and defeated sigh
"I'll walk you back" he muttered as he left, pushing past Snape as my eyes widened slightly and I followed, trying to muffle my laughter as I was led away and we walked silently before reaching the potions corridor as he stopped and I was pulled into a hug
"I'm not happy about this"
"I know you're not"
"You're not fully better. You can't be stressing yourself out with work right now Lia"
"I'm not stressing myself out"
"You need to be sleeping and eating properly too-"
"I am-"
"Don't lie to me. You haven't slept properly in weeks, you've been skipping meals and you still haven't taken any of those tablets-"
"Oh wow, time flies when you're having fun" I mumbled as I looked up at him and he laughed slightly before I stepped back as he rested his hands on my shoulders
"Promise me you'll get in touch if something doesn't feel right, yeah?"
"Yeah. Night Adam" I mumbled quietly as I hugged him again before going into the common room, the vast room empty and cold as I looked around
"Do you know how worried they've been?"
"Fuck off"
"I'm being serious, do you?"
"You get the fuck out of my sight" I said to Draco quietly, my lips pressed together as he stood up and looked at me
"Why?"
"Because you went and opened your fat fucking mouth! You went and told somebody what I had told you last week and now the whole school is going to fucking find out!-"
"I didn't tell anybody anything! So before you go jumping to the conclusion that I went and told people, think about the fact that I was the only other person you've ever told and I've respected you enough to not say anything!" He shouted back at me as I clenched my fists, watching him roll his eyes before walking past and down to his dorm, the distinct noise of his dorm door closing as I let out an angry shout, grabbing the vase behind me as I smashed it against the wall, watching it shatter on the ground. Lifting my hand I stared at the cut that had appeared from my palm down to my wrist before reaching and picking up the bloody shard of porcelain, not even realising I had cut myself as I started turning it over in my hand before tucking it into the side pocket of my bag
