Beast

10. The day before

Fred's POV:
Meanwhile...

She literally just ran away ?!

Gosh she's kinda childish, isn't she ?!

Well is she ? I mean she told me not to tell them, but she has to understand that I didn't want to tell him.

My glance quickly captured George, who looked really frustrated.

„Is anyone about to answer ?!" Miss Pomfrey huffed, which snapped me out of my thoughts.

„We don't know." He quietly spoke, while looking down at the empty bed in front of us.

With that Miss Pomfrey let out a loud sigh and walked back into the corner of the room, to continue brewing her potions.

„Should we look for her." I softly asked.

„No she will be fine." George answered, while quickly getting up. He looked like he had so much on his mind- he even looked a little frustrated.

„Are you okay ?"

„What- ehm yeah of course." He started, while slowly walking out of the hospital wing.
" I just...- what if she's mad at me ?!"

Why would she be mad at him ?!

We quickly reached the door, as both of us stepped out into the hallway. A cold breeze instantly run over my body.

„Why would she be mad at you ?!" I wondered, while walking next to George, down the corridor. George stayed quiet. He just looked down at the floor until we reached the common room door. The fat lady slowly opened the door for us to step inside.

As soon as we heard the door close behind us Harry and Ron ran up to us.

„Hey did you guys saw Elia ?! Lupin told us that
she's awake." Ron quickly spoke.

„Uhm ... yeah we saw her but she isn't in a good mood." George answered, not wanting to tell them the whole story.

„What's with her ?!" Harry asked, while I could saw a hint of worry build up inside him.

„Oh nothing just the pills and everything. She's gonna be fine, I would just leave her alone for a few hours."

At this moment the feeling of guilt overcame me, as I remembered that she has to be on hard drugs. I mean she broke her jaw and is now alone inside this castle, probably not even being able to talk properly.

„Hey I'm gonna go ... learn." I said, while turning around to look for Elia.

I approached the common room painting again and gently stepped out, back into the big hallway.

„I want to peacefully drink my tea so decide if you want to go in or out, but stop annoying me." I heard the fat lady grumbling behind me, as I already started to leave.

I quickly ran down the corridor into the dungeons, as I saw the Slytherin common room door. The door was basically invisible- you had to say the password to open and see the door, but I walked Elia that often that I would never fail to find the right place.

And now what, Fred ?!

I actually forgot what I wanted right here. I mean I didn't knew the password and I also wouldn't dare to take one step inside this room. Elia and Ophelia are basically the only Slytherins I can accept- all of the others, like Draco, Pansy, Blaise etc... are feisty all the time.

I started to feel dumb and frustrated, as I heard muffled voices coming into the same corridor I'm in.

My body started to feel tense at the thought of a grumpy Slytherin, walking in on me standing here like an idiot. The person quickly stepped closer.
