{WARNING - Mention of blood and scars}

I woke up to pain.

Pain.

More fucking pain.

I winced as it got stronger, I could hardly bare the pressure of my blankets on my ankle. I reached for the bottle of pills under my bed and took one quickly. After another minute of pure agonising pain, it stopped. I let out a breath I didn't know I has holding and noticed it to be morning. 

I knew this wasn't good. 

I was unfortunately familiar with the pills I hid from the world. 

There was a note on my bed side table, I noticed the neat handwriting to be Hermione's.

Gone to breakfast, come down when you're ready x

After testing how much weight I could put on my ankle I got up with ease and changed out of my uncomfortable corset and jeans. Instead, I wore Fred's large hoodie and a pair of sweatpants.

I walked into the great all and all eyes turned to me within seconds. I walked over to Theo before heading to the Gryffindor table. 

"Thank you for last night Theo." I smiled as I hugged him from behind.

"Of course. You gonna go get it fixed?" He asked as he turned to me, looking concerned.

"Yeah, I'll go later today." I smiled.

"Wait, what happened?" Lorenzo asked in a worried tone.

"Oh, just broke my ankle last night." I smiled, letting them know not to worry.

The groups heads shot up to look at me concerned, Blaise looked majorly hung over and could hardly keep his eyes open. 

"H- how are you walking then?" Blaise asked slowly.

"I have my ways Zabini." I chuckled, "Thank you all again for last night. Definitely feeling less fuzzy now." I chuckled and walked off to sit in between Fred and George.

"Hey Freddie, how you feeling?" I asked as I remembered they said he wasn't feeling too good last night.

"M- much better. Thanks love." He stuttered and placed a quick kiss on my cheek.

I smiled lightly, he seemed a little off. But then again, the pills might be clouding my judgment a little. I looked at the food on the plate in front of me, staring at it. 

I felt my leg jumping up and down. Trembling. 

I picked up my fork slowly, unfortunately, my hand was trembling just as badly as my leg. I dropped my for on the plate, creating a loud noise which attracted the attention of practically everyone in the hall.

"Shit." I said underneath my breath.

"You alright love?" Fred asked, noticing my trembling limbs.

"Y- yeah. I'm gonna go to the hospital wing." I stuttered though giving him a warm smile.

"Hospital wing? Why?" He asked looking all flustered.

"Broke my ankle last night, need to get it fixed." I gave the concerned group another smile before heading off to see Madam Pomfrey.

The pills remained under my bed, it took everything in me not to have one. Though I couldn't bring myself to get rid of the bottle.

First day of classes for fifth year.

I woke up late, Hermione had already left. 

Why is it i'm always late?
