Thantophobia||Fred Weasley

An original boggart

My arm does not really feel broken. It feels more like a bruise directly on my bone but my arm is flabby. I knock at the door of the hospital wing and I can hear my knock being echoic inside.

-Enter!

I twist the door knob and open the gigantic wooden door. Behind one of the bed, a women is replacing the sheets of one of them. She have white hair because of age and a beautiful white and burgundy doctor dress. She looks at me in between two sheets.

-What can I do for you Sky.

It's insane how she remembers my name but understandable. After all, she works in the hospital wing, she needs to remember the name of every students but she don't look like she's struggling to do so. I heard she can even tell George and Fred apart. Her name is Madam Pomfrey and apparently she is probably the sweetest human you'll ever meet. She's also one of the only member of this school that actually cares about the well being of their students, I wonder if it's true.

-Hi, Madam Pomfrey. I was in Care Of Magical Creatures class and I had to... protect someone from something and I my arm now hurts.

-You arm? You're gonna have to tell me more if you want me to help you Sky.

-Only if you promise that no one will get in trouble because of it, please.

-I promise you, you would not believe how many things I heard in this school.

I still hesitate. I don't wanna get Hagrid in trouble but she sounds genuine.

-Alright, in class, Hagrid was teaching us about Hippogriffs and you probably know how Hagrid is full or resources so he showed one of them to us. You probably know Draco Malfoy, Madam? I would not be surprised if he had this type of... interaction before and he went against Hagrid's rules so the Hippogriff was about to attack him and I took the hit for him.

-I understand why you're in Gryffindor then, and yes, I know Draco Malfoy really well.

We exchange a knowing look and we both giggle.

-Alright, come sit here and let me see your arm.

I completely enter the hospital wing and sit on one of the bed. I roll up my robe's sleeve and I realize only now that I can't really move my arm or bend it. I let go of a little air expiring because it hurts to try to force it to bend. Madam Pomfrey grabs my arm and palpate around my elbow with her thumb.

-It's worst than you thought it was isn't it?

-Yes, it is.

-Don't worry. It will hurt for a little while but it will be done by the end of the week, you'll be fine. Listen, I need to go get bandages to make you a backing so your arm stays bended, I'll be right back.

She passes the door and I can see her walk through another hallway. The doors closes and I'm alone again. I don't hate being alone, I actually love it. Silence is comforting after only a couple hours around people. The hospital wing is not ugly. It might be spooky at night but not unpleasant. The windows are gigantic which would be beautiful pierced with the moonlight. I'm mesmerized by the view outside one of the window, the view is directly on the train wreck where the Hogwarts Express pass. I was so captivate by it's beauty that I did not even realize the door of the hospital wing opening behind me. Someone grabs my shoulder like they are panicking.

-Sky! Are you okay? Ron told me what happened! Malfoy is gonna pay for that.

His voice is freaking out.

-Fred? What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be eating?

He rubs the palm of his hand behind his neck like he is embarrassed of being here all of sudden.
