cw: mentions of self-harm, abuse, and murder, relatively graphic sexual content.

Rhiannon woke up, breathing heavily. Her mind was blurry, and then it all started coming back to her. She looked around, she was in her own dorm room. Not the hospital wing, her own room. A blanket was over her, and she saw Lily walk over with some water. "You're awake."

"Yeah," Rhiannon replied, taking the cup of water and chugging it down. She checked the time, 3 AM. It was the middle of the night, they had class tomorrow. She moved the blanket, looking at her wrist that was wrapped in a small bandage.

"Remus did that, disinfected it too. I guess he had experience for some reason."

Of course, he did. Rhiannon got out of bed, taking out a pack of cigarettes and sitting down next to Lily as she lit one. She took a drag, "Do you remember what happened?" Lily asked.

"Everything up until I asked Remus for a tampon." She laughed a bit, trying to lighten the mood.

"Do you want me to explain it to you?"

Rhiannon exhaled smoke, "Yeah."

"Well, we were leaving Hogsmeade and Deatheaters attacked us; that's obvious. Everyone else is okay, physically. One went after you, used the Cruciatus curse on you, and tried to slit your wrists; wanting you to...you know."

"Die," Rhiannon added, semi-speechless.

"Are you okay?"

She was both okay and not okay, her arm didn't really hurt much. She was a bit sore, but that could've been from numerous things. All she really wanted right now was to scream, maybe that would help. "Yeah, I'm alright."

"Are you up to go to class, I can tell them you got food poisoning or something."

"No, I want to go to class."

"Then rest up, you've got a long day ahead of you."

Rhiannon nodded, taking another quick pull. "Is-Is it going to scar?"

Lily opened her mouth, then closed it. She didn't know how to say it in the right way. "Yeah."

Rhiannon sighed, hearing that. Now she'll have two scars because of these bastards. She really wanted to cry right now, feeling so many emotions at once. She felt her eyes fill with tears, and she tried to push them down. Lily hugged her, tight.
