Boy on the field

Chaper 32 - fight

JULIA POV

Oliver left my room and told me he'd be back tomorrow but I think I'm going to surprise him by getting out of my room.

I think I've done well, all things considered.

Ced would be proud of me.

I walk out of the common room and make my way to the great hall when down the path I see kids in a group I decide to walk closer and kids are yelling

"FIGHT!" "PUNCH HIM MAN" and other stuff like that

I make my way to see who's fighting when I see them

"STOP!"

I don't think I rush in the circle where Draco is on top of Oliver, punching his face.

I grab the collar of his shirt and pull him back.
The twins rush in from the other side and pick Oliver off the ground.

His nose is bleeding and has a bruise on his right eye.

"Everyone gets to class. NOW. Fred, George take Mr Wood to the infirmary."

I turn to see McGonagall rushing in to get everyone to class.

I let go of draco and start to walk up with the twins and Oliver. They are walking fast and I'm a little behind. Then Draco grabs my arm and pulls me back.

"If you go with them, we are through!" I look him dead in the eyes and push away.

I start to walk backwards towards the boys and then turn to run with them. I don't look back at Draco.

Once I've made it caught up with them I face Oliver and walk backwards to the infirmary. The twins are holding him up and he's drained, like the life got sucked out of him.

"I- um ok what happend?" He was trying to say something but i wasnt coming out of his mouth.

"Hey. Hey look at me." I hold his face in my hands

"It's going to be fine."

When we get to the infirmary Oliver is placed in madam pomfrey's care.

I head to my classes but at the end of the day me and the twins sit next to Oliver and do our homework and talk.

He took medicine to put him to sleep to heal.

"Hey. We have to go, will you be ok?" Fred asks as George is packing up his things. "I'll be fine thank you"

I look at the clock which says 9:00 I look over at Oliver who is sleeping peacefully. I stay for another 20-30 minutes before madam pomfrey comes in

"Oh dear why are you still up and here? Shouldn't you go to bed my dear?" I start to get up but then she says

"no no darling you can stay just don't tell Dumbledore I let you here longer."

I smile at her and continue to do the homework I missed.

A few minutes later I start to get up to go to bed when Oliver moves which makes me turn to look at him. His eyes open and he looks at me

"Could you um stay? Please?"

I sit back down in the chair when madam pomfrey takes me over to another bed to rest on.

Oliver turns to his side, facing me.

I smile at him and he returns the smile then closes his eyes again.

I lay on my back and look at the ceiling. I don't know what it is but I feel like breaking up with Draco broke a chain that's been on my for a while. I'm not even sad about the break up.

Is that a bad thing?

Am I a bad person?

I shut my thoughts away and close my eyes and fall asleep
