Y/N POV

"You two should go, I'll send an owl when you can come back." Madam Pomfrey was ushering the boys out, once they had left she turned to me in the empty hospital wing. "I'll get your medicine dear." she went over to her cabinet grabbing a few things with her wand firmly in hand. She already knew why I was here. I sat up in the hospital bed, took off my jacket and unbuttoned my shirt slightly so I could loosen it around my back.

When she came back she popped some things next to my bed and one box on my bed in front of me, "Happy Birthday, Y/n." I smiled despite the uncomfort and extreme pain, after opening the present, I took out a small fragile bracelet, it had blue jewels on it surrounded by fine silver wire, it looked like a vine almost. Madam Pomfrey told me she made it and how she made it whilst getting ready to treat my sores. 

"Is it bad?" I had to ask, even though I knew it was bad, it hurt so much like my back had been ripped open from the inside. "It's like you had a tussle with a werewolf and lost." I groan in pain, "I'll clean your clothes don't worry." she began applying the ointment and using magic to close up the rips, this part always hurt, I bit on my hand to try and numb the pain from my back but now my hand hurt also, tears formed in my eyes, you'd think I'd be used to this pain, I like to think I am, but I'm not.

SCORPIUS POV

It's been half an hour now, I was growing more and more worried, Albus and I just assumed she had gotten sick from flying or something. I couldn't wait any longer, I had to see her make sure she was okay, Albus and I Quickly went down to the great hall and there were some pumpkin pasties left over, we grabbed a bunch of them and ran to the hospital wing.

We burst through the door to the Hospital Wing "I know you said you'd owl us but I-we were getting worried." it fell silent very quickly. She wasn't sick exactly.

Her back was being sewn back together with magic.

Now I felt sick. seeing her on that bed with her back half-open was nauseating, I didn't feel sick looking at the split skin, I felt sick seeing how much pain she was in, she didn't want us to know by the look of the situation, and something about that made me feel like this wasn't the first time this had happened.

Her nose and ears went pink and tears that had already formed In her eyes began to fall, her head effortlessly fell into her hands.

Madam Pomfrey looked right at Albus and I "Leave." she boomed, her voice echoed, "Yes ma'am." Albus wasn't one to be nervous, we hesitantly left after leaving a few pumpkin pasties at the table closest to the door.

I felt so guilty.

-------------------------

Y/N POV

Madam Pomfrey had just finished sewing my back up with a spell, I didn't say a word once Scorpius and Albus left, I was going to tell them eventually, I just wish they hadn't found out like this. I pull my shirt back up over my backfilled with scars from it previously splitting open. I button it up then slide my jacket on wrapping it around my body trying to comfort myself, but that didn't work. Madam Pomfrey brought the pumpkin pasties over to my bed and tells me the boys left them, I just had a blank expression on my face and nodded.

"You can stay however long you need to dear." I nod again and she walks off, I fiddle with the necklace around my neck and stare into nothingness.

Y/N POV

I have no idea how long I've just been sitting in the hospital wing, I've zoned out most of the time, that was until someone very special walked in. "Ello Y/n!" Hagrid announced into the hospital wing, "How you feeling?" he carried a small box with him, I shrug slightly trying not to pain myself. "Hm, well I baked us some muffins for your very special day!" he opens the box and there are 4 muffins in the box, they all have a distorted smiley face on them, "They're not that pretty but they taste good!" I spot a half-eaten one a giggle.

Hagrid was just the giant I needed to see. Madam Pomfrey must've told him about Albus and Scorpius finding out as he comforted me on the event.

After a while, Hagrid had left and it was night and I wanted to sleep in my bed, not the uncomfortable beds in the hospital wing. I steadied myself getting up and off of the bed. Thanking Pomfrey, I left the wing heading to the common room.

---------------------

Y/N POV

It was rather late, I didn't expect anyone to be up, but to my surprise when I entered the common room there they were, Scorpius and Albus, half-asleep on the couch. Once they spotted me however, their posture and behaviour immediately changed. "Y/n?" Albus semi whispered, they both seemed unsure on what to say, I walked past both of them, I just wanted to go to bed, I didn't want to discuss the recent events now, or ever to be honest. "Y/n." it was Scorpius this time, I turned around, they both seemed uncomfortable "Happy birthday." he chimed after a beat accompanied with half-smiled, I nodded to both of them "Goodnight." that was the only thing I said to them before turning back around and heading to my dorm.

All the girls were already asleep, I was honestly kind of relieved at that fact, I turned to my bed and there was something on it, with my new broom resting against the foot of the bed. I couldn't make it out in the darkness, so I hesitantly pick it up and go under the covers before casting Lumos.

It was a glass ball, a book and a letter attached.

'Dear Y/n,

I just wanted to thank you for a lot of things and I figured this would be an appropriate way.

Thank you for always standing up for Albus and I, thank you for sticking around and being our friend and not caring what others say about us, it means a lot. Thank you for being the kindest and sweetest friend, your like sunshine, you always brighten my day just by being around me.

I wanted to get you something that I thought you'd like.

It's my favourite muggle book, the friend of the main character reminds me of you, she is very brave and courageous and is always there to make things seem better.

I hope you have a fantastic birthday Y/n, you deserve it.

- From Scorpius ♡'

There was a heart, I didn't know how to feel still, I put the gift in my drawer next to my bed along with my other gifts. I just want to sleep forever.
