Chapter Twenty-Eight: That Bad Feeling

*TW: MENTIONS OF SUICIDE/SELF-HARM/VERY ANGSTY*

*Y/N's POV*

     Fred and everyone took exceptional care of me for the rest of the break and I had actually started to feel better. But there was just some strange feeling that I couldn't shake and whenever I thought about it too much, that sickening feeling numbed me again. But as we returned to school, things started to look up again as we also restarted our meetings for Dumbledore's Army.

     "Where's Hermione and the boys?" I asked as Ginny, Angelina, and the twins sat with me in the Common Room.

     "You didn't hear?" Ginny asked, I shook my head, "Hagrid's back."

     "Oh, any word on where he's been?" Angelina asked.

     "I expect that's what they're going to find out," George answered.

     A sudden loud crack of thunder shook the windows of Gryffindor Tower. My body jumping as the light that quickly shone into the Common Room, dimmed and that horrible feeling returned to my stomach again. I clutched my abdomen, doubling over in pain.

     "Lestrange?" Fred brought me to his chest, I looked up at him worriedly, "You're shaking like a leaf, darling."

     I lifted my hand, I could hardly keep it still as I looked it over, "What's happening?" I looked back outside.

     "I don't know but something's not right," Fred shook his head as he followed my gaze out the window, "Come on, let's get you into bed. I think we should call it a night," Fred spoke softly, wrapping his arms around me as he led me up to my dorm room. I waved a shaky goodnight to everybody as we walked up the steps.

     "You shouldn't have to do this, you know?" I huffed as Fred folded my school robes, he looked over at me, his brow raised, "You're my boyfriend, not my nurse. Cleaning up after me is not something you signed up for."

     "I signed up to take care of you. And are you seriously going to tell me that if the roles were reversed, you wouldn't be doing the same thing I'm doing? If not, more," Fred asked as he pulled my covers over me.

     "That's beside the point," I rolled my eyes, "I don't even know why I'm feeling like this. I-I just have this feeling, this horrible feeling like something terrible is going to happen."

     Fred chuckled lightheartedly, "You're saying you're a Seer now, like Trelawney?"

     "No," I laughed, "I'm not predicting the future or anything," I cleared my throat, cutting off my laugh, "But I just want us all to be careful. Something's happening, I can feel it."

     "Alright, that's enough," Fred sighed as he clamored into bed, next to me.

     "What're you doing?"

     "Cuddling with you, what's it look like?"

    "McGonagall is going to catch us or worse, old toad face," I scoffed.

     Fred smirked, "To hell with the both of them."

     "As much as I want you to be here," I placed my hand on his cheek, "I don't need either of us getting expelled in the last few months of our final year in school. So, please just do as you're told this one time," I flashed him puppy eyes, my bottom lip poking out.

     "Ugh fine," Fred groaned as he rolled out of my bed, "But when you start feeling better, you owe me, got it?"

     "I'll be looking forward to it," I teased.
