18: bloody - harry potter

The air was crisp as she walked hurriedly towards the school after a visit in the forbidden forest. Luna trailed behind her, constantly stopping to look at the different footprints made by creatures in the mud. It had rained heavily before, causing the ground to soften into a muddy mess.

"Luna! Hurry up! Class starts in just five minutes." She said once she realised that her best friend was once again staring down at the ground.

"Oh but Y/n! These are Niffler footprints! Can't we just follow them for a minute or two?" She said with bright and joyful eyes. Y/n sighed before she answered with a nod and walked towards her friend again. They walked further into the forest, further from the trail and soon they saw a small little Niffler on the ground, playing with a coin. "Loot at him! He's so cute!" Luna squealed, making the petite creature run off.

"Ahh that's a shame. Oh well, we can look for him after class again, i th-" Y/n started but quickly stopped once she slipped on the mud, her head hitting a sharp rock that stuck out of the ground. She groaned and held her hand againt the side of her head, feeling warm liquid seeping onto her fingers.

"Oh my! Y/n! Oh no, come here, let me help you up! Oh no that looks bad! Really bad actually. We must head to madam pomf-" Luna rambled, panic laced in her voice as she spoke, pulling Y/n up on her feet again.

"Yes, Luna. Can i just.." Y/n started but Luna had already placed her arm over her shoulder. They began to walk towards the castle again in silence.

"It's my fault." Luna suddenly said, making Y/n's head snap up. "I wanted to go after the Niffler and now you're hurt. It's my fault." She said, staring straight ahead.

"Luna stop, it's not your fault. I also wanted to follow the Niffler, and i should've looked where i was going. It's alright Luna." Y/n carefully smiled. Luna didn't answer but at least she herd what was said. They reached the doors and walked into the corridor. The students stared as they walked past them, watching the crimson blood spreading from her wound.

"Y/N! Oh Merlin." Remus Lupin, Y/n's father came rushing down the hallway, a student behind him, who probably also told him that his daughter was bleeding out in the hallway. "Luna, you go ahead and tell Professor McGonagall why Y/n wont be joining transfiguration today." He said before he took her from Luna and lifted her up, starting to sprint towards Madam Pomfrey's office.

Luna quickly ran towards the transfiguration classroom and bursted through the door. Everyone turned to look at her with annoyance, but that quickly changed to worry as they saw the blood on her clothes.

Harry Potter, who was sitting at the very back, felt anxious as he watched Luna, he had obviously noticed that his girlfriend wasn't there, and she was best friends with Luna. He had a feeling that something had happened too Y/n.

"Oh my, Miss Lovegood are you alright?" McGonagall asked and placed a hand on the blonde girls shoulder, looking for any injuries.

"Yes professor, but Y/n isn't. We were outside, looking for a Niffler, just outside the-"

"Yes yes, but Miss Lupin. Is she alright?"

"She fell and hit her head on a sharp rock, there was a lot of blood. Professor Lupin told me to tell you that she's at Madam Pomfreys." Luna finally finished and Harry stood up, without even acknowledging McGonagall, he walked past them and out the door, mind set on Y/n and her wellbeing.

He soon arrived at the hospital wing, knocking three times before opening the door. He was met by Madam Pomfrey who scolded him gently as he walked past her. Only one bed was occupied in the large room. Harry watched as Professor Lupin got up and turned towards him, revealing his poor girlfriend with a white bandage around her head. As he walked past, Remus patted Harry's shoulder gently before walking out from the room to give them some privacy.

" Y/n... how are you, what happened?" He asked as he sat down next to her on the stiff bed, taking her hands in his. She smiled gently at him, her face a lot paler that it usually was.

"I'm fine Harry, just a scratch."

"Just a scratch, really? Then why did Luna rush in, covered in blood?" Harry huffed, watching his beloved intensely.

"Well, a scratch or not I'm fine." Y/n smiled. "You want to get in?" She asked, shifting slightly to make room for her boyfriend.

"Course."
