Chapter 20

(Ron's POV)

I smiled when I finished lap 30 as I lowered myself to the ground. I put my foot out to step off the broom but ended up tumbling down and face planting into the grass.

"Ouch... this is nice" I whispered cuddling up to the soft grass in comparison to the freezing cold wind above. I shivered as my eyes slowly closed and I lost all consciousness.

Blaise's POV
(Next day - Wednesday)

I snickered while walking down the hallway looking at my two best friends.

"Merlin, it's not even that early," I said with a small smile but they both ignored me as Pansy yawned and Draco growled. I chuckled and put my hands up in surrender.

"You had time to shower and wake up," Pansy said while rolling her eyes at me.

"It's your fault for leaving your wand," I said nudging her as she frowned.

Us three were currently heading to the Quidditch pitch at 5 am because Pansy thinks she dropped her wand there. We had to go early so we could make it back for class but also so we could sneak away from Snape and Nott. They have eyes everywhere.

"Hey, how's your jaw?" Draco asked seeming to wake up a bit more and look at me. I shrugged and rubbed my hand over it.

"A little tense and there's a bit of a bruise but with my dark skin it's hardly noticeable" I answered and he nodded before slumping his shoulders and shivering as we stepped outside.

I took in a big waft of fresh air as I smiled and looked over at the pitch in the distance. We continued to walk closer and I noticed something lying in the middle of it. I shrugged thinking it was a fallen coat or a broom.

"Alright, so where do you think your wand is?" I asked Pansy as we arrived at the pitch. We made our way through the changing rooms and stepped onto the field.

"Well that was easy, it's right here!" Pansy shouted happily as she bent down and picked it up. Wow... we left early for that.

Curiosity then got the best of me so I looked at what the figure I had seen earlier was. I felt my knees buckle as I took in the fiery red hair. I didn't realize I had actually fallen over until I started pushing myself up and sprinting over to Ron.

When I got to him, quickly followed by Draco and Pansy, I saw he was passed out cold. My throat felt dry as I grabbed him and hissed at his cold skin.

"Fuck! Go get help! Please!" I shouted at them as they stood stunned. I gave them a pleading look as I brought Ron into my chest hoping to warm him up. They both nodded and started to run back. I felt my eyes water as I looked down at him. His face was white and his lips were blue.

"Ron! Wake up!" I shouted while stripping out of my robe and putting it on him, I grabbed his hands and felt his fingers which were about frozen. I cupped them in mine as I brought him to my body once more.

I flipped the robe hoodie up as I hid his face in my chest. I can definitely feel a heartbeat but it's not as stable as I would like it to be.

"Please... Ron..." I whispered putting my head on his.

"Blaise, we have help!" I heard Draco call as I looked up to see Madam Pomfrey and Professor McGonagall both running with the two. I smiled and grabbed Ron's freezing hand. As they got closer I noticed their worried looks and soon Madam Pomfrey was kneeling next to me.

"What's going on?" she asked as she took the boy from my arms.

"He's freezing, and he won't wake up!" I said freaking out as Pansy crouched down and wrapped her arms around me. I noticed Draco wasn't anywhere I could see if it, and I freaked out but before I could say anything Pansy leaned into my ear.
