"And.... there she is"
"Look at that, you got yourself sent to the hospital wing on Christmas"
"It's not Christmas anymore"
"It's close enough-" blocking out the bickering voices I mumbled quietly as I turned my head about, trying to open my eyes fully as I blinked painfully, a sore pounding feeling in my head as I glanced about, seeing Blaise above me as I stared at him
"Lia, you hit Draco with a seven hundred page, leather book. I couldn't be prouder. You broke his nose"
"I did?"
"You did, and it was hilarious-"
"I think you should apologise Amelia-"
"No she shouldn't-"
"You might think that, but... mercy is for the weak" I murmured as I started pushing myself up, leaning against the pillows as I squinted about the bright hospital wing, looking between Blaise, Nathan, Ali, Jayden and Oscar before dropping my head back onto the pillow with a quiet groan
"You're a cheerful cunt"
"Thank you"
"I- no. Not the right reply"
"Yes it is. Shut up" I told Jayden with a small smile as they started laughing and I felt a hand on my forehead
"You're pretty hot-"
"Eyyy, I'm glad you noticed" I said to Ali with a tired grin as I raised my hands and gave him finger guns, watching as he tried his best to keep a straight face before he finally started laughing, turning away as Nathan looked at me with raised eyebrows as I shrugged slightly
"What? I can't help it"
"I admire the fact you somehow managed to knock yourself unconscious and then as soon as you wake up you start making jokes. So what'd you do? Hit your head on the sink?" Jayden asked laughing as I stared at him, shaking my head while refraining myself from glancing to either Blaise or Nathan as Ali looked at me with his jaw slightly dropped
"Wait... do you think birds get sad because they don't have arms?" He asked quietly as he looked between us and I looked at Oscar as he stared at Ali with a look of complete confusion while Jayden turned to him
"Do you get sad because you don't have wings?"
"Every day"
"What the fuck?"
"What? I'm being honest"
"We know, and that's the thing"
"Oh shut up and let me dream"
"That's a strange dream to want to have"
"Fuck off" he muttered unhappily as the rest of us started laughing and he eventually let a smile grow on his face. Within an hour or so everybody had dispersed, leaving just me and Blaise as we headed back up the common room since I was finally allowed to leave
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine"
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah"
"What.. happened?"
"Do you want me to be honest?"
"Preferably"
"I don't have a clue"
