The Journey

The Match

(Fred's POV)

Celestial and I took our seats.

"So. I got the letter from Harry." She glanced at me. Her eyes were her normal blue.

"Oh yeah!? What did he say?" I know she isn't showing emotion but there was for sure a change in her emotions. You can tell.

"The key. Severus gave it to him before he died. Said he thinks it's for his house. I've got to find out where it is. Albus went to bug Hagrid till he tells him more about it." I could see her eyes getting wider.

"I can help you do some research if you want." I grinned.

"That would be a lot of help Fred!" She nodded as the game began. 

"Oh come on!" I yelled as the Slytherin Keeper slammed the Hufflepuff Beater into the ground. About halfway through the game I looked over and saw Celest about to collapse. She got her breath for only a moment to yell for help. She was yelling for Malfoy... I didn't know what was happening all I know is I sat down next to her pulling her close. "It's okay!" I said repeatedly, I couldn't take my eyes off hers they were flashing back and forth between colors. I looked up for only a second as Malfoy looked at me seeing the panic in my face. He chose the game over her...

(Celestial's POV)

I tried so hard to stay clam but I was becoming anxious. There's too many people around me...i felt too much like an outcast... I fell to the ground. I couldn't breathe, I couldn't see. My first instinct was to scream for help.

"Malfoy!" I screamed when I finally got a breath of air. I fell. Fred noticed and came to sit with me and calm me down. He looked up only for a second and I could tell he was thing to hide his disbelief, and anger. What had happened?

"What can I do?" He asked, as McGonagall came running over. I couldn't get a single word out after that.

"What happened!?" Fred look at McGonagall. Who had Hagrid carry me out?

"She has severe anxiety. You will be informed when she is taken care of. Anyone else I should notify?" She asked.

"Hm. Malfoy." He rolled his eyes. "I'll tell the rest myself." He went to stand outside the hospital after gathering a few friends.

(Fred's POV)

"have you heard anything yet!?" Hannah ran over with Twila.

"All I heard was they'd let me know when she's stable."

"Fred its been two hours!" She was crying slightly.

"Believe me I know...they won't let me in..." Albus came up out of breath.

"What happened!?" He couldn't breath.

"I guess she has severe anxiety."

"Yeah, I could've told you that! Let me! I know what can help her. She can only go so long without listening to her music. She's done it before. Without her music is sends her anxiety through the roof." Albus said slamming the doors open as we ran in. She was still lying there. She looked like she had have a seizure of some sort.

"You can't be in here..." The nurse said.

"Well, we are!" Twila growled.
(Celestial's POV)

I was lying there when I saw Albus hanging over me.

"Where are your ear pieces Celestial? I'll send Hannah for them..." He said in a calm voice but was obviously frantic.

I shook my head. Someone stole them. I haven't been able to find them. 

"What do we do now?" Twila asked.

"Is she okay?" A dirt covered Malfoy came into the room with his broom.

"Oh? You care now?" I heard Fred growl. That's when everything blacked out. I couldn't hear or see anything. Finally...my head quit hurting, my eyes weren't burning, and I could breathe. I couldn't even hear my own thoughts it was so peaceful.

I woke up, and Malfoy was standing over me along with Albus.

"Her eyes are normal!" Malfoy cheered.

"Are you alright?"

"Yes." I said confused.

"Where are your earbuds Celestial?" Albus asked.

"I'm not sure. I haven't seen them in weeks..." I sighed. "It's probably somewhere with my music player..." 

"You scared us half to death!" Hannah sighed as Albus and Malfoy helped me sit up. Headmaster walked in about this time.

"Darling you gave us a fright. Do you mind if I have a word???" She asked looking at me.

"Sure..." I watched as all my friends left the room.

"Dear. Albus said your can't go without music or you have a severe anxiety attack is that true?" She asked.

"No. It's my fault. I bottle things up and it sets me over the edge. That's all."

"Have you ever thought about getting help?" She asked concerned.

"No. I don't need it."

"Celestial a couple of months back you had used magic without your wand. It was more powerful than anything I've heard about..."

"Headmaster. I know I'm different. I simply don't belong here or in the muggle world. But I have to be somewhere as long as I'm alive."

"Did Severus know this about you?"

"Yes. He's the one that taught me." I shrugged.

"Oh. I see Hagrid gave you the key to Severus's house early...Wonder why he didnt tell me... Here." She handed me a piece of paper with the address on it. "Just in time for Christmas break I suppose." She grinned.

"If it's those bullies sending you over the edge I will gladly help settle this." She left the room.
