Oliver's POV:

i raced into my broom to the ground where Ameylia lied.

"Shes hurt! Someone, help!" shouted Ginny, shaking her friend, "help help!"

Professor Snape and Professor Mcgonagall ran down and picked Ameylia up. Ginny followed them up to the castle.

"what happened?" asked Devin, landing on the ground. I saw Hermione Granger run up to the castle with Ron.

"'Meylia got hit witha bludger," said Alice, "should we goin check on 'er?"

"i think we should, or at least I am," said angelina, grabbing her broom and heading up.

—

"she's been knocked unconscious," said madame pomfrey sadly, "she's out for the rest of the season as far as we know."

i heard complaints and Ginny sniffling. Hermione comforted her, it was rare to see Ginny cry.

"when will she be back up?" I asked, seeing a bunch of green uniformed students walk in, "hold my broom Angelina."

i walked up to them, "which one of you arseholes hit that bludger? i know damn well it didn't come at her on it's own."

they all looked embarrassed, "it wasn't me!" shouted malfoy, "it wasn't even a beater. it was Flint." i stared at Flint, wanting to beat this man up, but i needed to make sure Ameylia was okay. "i'll deal with you later." i said and they left, flint looking back at me with rude eyes.

"she may not wake up for a while," said madame pomfrey.

"How long is a while?" Ginny asked. Madam Pomfrey sighed.

"It could be months, Miss Weasley." ginny let out a sob along with hermione. i felt my face get warm and something form in my eyes. i didn't want to leave Ameylia in here, especially not for a few months. soon everyone got up and left besides Ginny and I.

"how'd this even happen? Mel is an amazing player she would've seen it coming." snapped Ginny, holding Ameylia's hand.

"i don't know," i sighed as she glared up at me, "it was you wasn't it? you told her something."

i shook my head fast, "no it wasn't me!!"

"that's hard to believe Wood. you've been on her mind for forever, ever since you rejected her and made her feel like an idiot." Ginny said, clearly frustrated.

"it wasn't me i swear. i apologized to her!" ginny shook her head not making eye contact with me, staring at Ameylia who lied peacefully on the hospital wing's bed.

—
weeks went by, and every day i would go back to see her. she would be the same everyday. lieing there, unawake. Still as a sleeping princess at her kingdom's peace.

Ameylia's pov:

i couldn't move. was i dead? Oliver came in and checked up on me, as had Ginny who would hide her tears when she saw me. I felt to bad. she probably thinks i'm dead. am i? i could hear kids come in and talk about werewolf attacks and a murder entering the school, but there was nothing i could do but worry.

one day, madame pomfrey came in and fed me a purple liquid causing me to move a bit. "thank you," i whispered, as she smiled sweetly, "would you like me to tell your friends you are awake?"i nodded. But that's the thing. I was awake the whole time. Wasn't I?

i lied in the bed until i heard footsteps of someone running at me.

"AMEYLIA!" shouted Ginny, running to me and hugging me. i wrapped my arms around her, holding the embrace for as long as I could. I knew she was doing the same.

"where's Hermione?" i asked.

"with Harry and Ron, i saw her punch Malfoy." i kept in my laugh and saw tears in Ginnys eyes, "i'm so glad you're okay!"

"Ginerva Molly Weasley, of course i'm okay," i smiled, letting go of the hug. soon excited gryffindors flooded the hospital wing.

"We thought you were dead!" shouted Parvarti and Lavender, laughing at their jinx and then hugging me gratefully. i saw Oliver in the corner smiling happily.

"excuse me." said Percy as he pushed through, "i'm head boy! move!"

"Percy?" i asked.

"yes Gord. I am looking for Ron, have you seen him?"

"I just got out of shock and your first question is where your brothers at." Percy shrugged as Ginny shook hers, lieing clearly. he left as Luna came in and hugged me softly.

"i knew you would be okay." i smiled as George and Fred walked through, Fred nodding and George patting my shoulder. I was trying to think that if they hadn't quit then maybe the bludger wouldn't have hit me. Maybe they would've stopped it. But I couldn't base my anger off of maybes. i opened up the cards people left and smelt the roses and tulips.

i rubbed my eyes, looking around. ron was on the bed across from me and harry and hermione were putting on a necklace. i looked at ron confused and he shrugged, "something dumbledore told them?"
i nodded and looked at them as they disappeared, wondering if the necklace was the one Hermione showed Ginny and I months ago, it was how she got to all her classes on time.

i went to sleep and when i woke again harry and hermione ran in with smiles on their faces, filling Ron in on what happened. i went back to sleep again, smiling softly. I was just glad to be alive.
