Last Summer // George Weasley

10. Lamb To The Slaughter

Song: where's my love by SYML

You turned over in bed and immediately pain shot through your body. You grabbed your sides and sat up quickly realizing you weren't in your room or your bed. You were in the hospital wing.
"Samantha" Hagrid shot up from the chair he was in next to your bed
"Hagrid?"
"I found you out in the snow... you were bleeding and I carried you straight here" Hagrid got himself worked up "I didn't know if .... If you were even alive" he sniffed holding back his tears
Madam pomfrey walked up to your bed
"But she is alive. I healed your cuts and we replaced the lost blood"
"What happened" you asked looking between the two adults at your bedside
"Well we were hoping you might have been able to tell us"
"I don't..... I don't remember" you said searching your brain for anything.
"That's okay dear you just need to rest"
"Has anyone stopped by" you asked Hagrid
"Ginny did earlier but pomfrey sent her away"
"I want to see her" you said
"I'll get a message to her" Hgarid said standing up "but listen to madam pomfrey and rest" you nodded and Hagrid left the hospital. Madam pomfrey poured multiple liquids in front of you and made sure you drank every last drop, one more disgusting than the next. When all the medicine had been consumed you laid back and rested your eyes..... just for a moment.

"Samantha" the doors to the hospital flew open and Ginny came running in. You sat up rubbing your eyes and smiled at the familiar face
"Ginny, I'm so glad you're here"
"Ginny slow down" Harry called after her. He Hermione, Ron, Fred and Lee all entered the hospital hurrying over to your bed
"I'm sorry it's not my fault you all wanted to walk so slow"
"How are you feeling" Hermione asked
"Yeah what happened"
"Are you going to be okay"
"How long are you going to be here" they all asked at once
"Please calm down everyone" madam pomfrey shushed your friends.
"I'm okay I'll be out of here soon" you smiled up at everyone
"What happened" Harry asked
"I don't remember"
"That's normal with trauma" madam pomfrey explained
"We're just glad you're going to be okay" Fred said sitting down on the edge of the bed and giving you a gentle hug "George said he was busy but I know he's worried about how you're doing"
"It's fine.... Doesn't matter"
Your friends spent the rest of the evening in the hospital wing with you. Ron and Fred played exploding snaps in the middle of the floor when Madam Pomfrey walked out. Ginny laid in bed with you and Harry and Hermione sat on chairs next to you.
"So let me get this straight" you said shifting your body towards Hermione "you and Ron" you lowered your voice "kissed at the party after the quidditch match" you asked Hermione one final time
"Yes" she blushed "keep your voice down. We have talked about it since"
"No you haven't talked but have you....." Ginny wiggled her eyebrows and make kissing noises, making both Fred and Ron look up at her
"Stop it" Hermione hissed her face growing even more red.  You and your friends burst out laughing while Hermione hid her face and Ron.... Well he looked generally clueless.

Later that night you were working on your school work that Hermione brought you when you heard footsteps approaching. You put your quill down but no one had walked in. You could still hear someone outside of the door, so you slowly slid your legs over the edge of the bed your bare feet connecting with the cold floor. You had barely stood up when madam Pomfrey came to the door and opened it up, you saw George just outside
"In or out Mr.Weasley you can't stand there all night"
"I was just-I" George met your eyes and you thought for a moment that he looked guilty "sorry" he said and turned and ran off. Madam Pomfrey shut the doors and rolled her eyes
"Lights out, you need to rest now" she waved her wand and turned out all the lights. You moved your school books and laid back in bed. George came to see you, he didn't actually come in or talk to you but he came.

Two days later you were released from the hospital wing and you made your way up to the Gryffindor common room all your friends greeted you and Fred wrapped you up in a hug
"We're so glad you're okay" he mumbled into your hair
"We all are really" Angelina agreed
"Thanks guys" you stepped back from Fred and smiled at everyone, everyone except George.
"Have you remembered anything yet" Ron asked as you sat down
"No. Madam pomfrey said it could take some time" you explained everyone nodded and Angelina looked down at her feet avoiding any eye contact, you looked over at her and then back to Fred. While you felt weird about that you didn't bother pushing the matter, for all you know she could have just had a fight with Fred. You sat quietly in front of the fire with all your friends listening to them talk about class and quidditch and how fast the holidays were approaching. Your eyes felt heavy and you let the warmth from the flame wrap you up.
Finally Katie and George came down the stairs from the dorms and stopped when they saw you.
"Samantha we're so glad you're back" Katie squealed.
The cold snow
"Uhm yeah" George said running his hands through his hair "we're glad"
the look in her eyes and then the words that came from her mouth.
"Gave us quite the scare" she giggled
Sectumsempra
It was Katie.
