A few moments later, Alice came in with the snacks and just as she was filled in on what happened, Rosier came in supported by his team. Not too far behind were the Marauders keeping a grip on their friend, as Sirius was glaring viciously at the huddle of Slytherins. Sirius' hand was bloody and bruised, some of the crimson blood blending into his scarlet Quidditch uniform.
"Will you calm down?" Remus said exasperated, "why are you so set on trying to murder Rosier?"
"Because he-" Sirius broke off, not knowing why himself. The sight of Fiona getting hurt had snapped something within Sirius but he wasn't sure why that happened.
"Because he's a foul git and tried to hurt another student." He mumbled out.
Fiona stared at Sirius with surprise and confusion in her eyes, just like everyone else. Although one person seemed to have inkling of what may be happening, and he wasn't sure how to react upon that thought.
Remus Lupin felt as if Sirius Black had indeed developed a softness in his heart for Fiona Potter, and all he hoped was for Fiona to remain unharmed within all this.

Fiona was out of the Hospital Wing by Tuesday morning. Her cracked bones had healed quite quickly but she was feeling an imbalance that kept her in the Hospital Wing a bit longer.
Sirius had been patched up along with Rosier and let go that day, although Sirius had also been awarded detention for his violent behaviour. Over the weekend, Fiona's close ones had kept her company. Monday's lessons had been covered by Remus and Lily, as they brought Fiona notes and explained anything she needed to better understand.
As Fiona arrived into the Great Hall, she sat down by her group only to be almost tackled to the ground by Maya.
"I missed you, Professor Potter." She mumbled into Fiona's shoulder, earning a light chuckle from the blond.
"Glad to have me back so you can copy off my homework?"
"No," Maya said as she broke away, "Well, that's one of the reasons." She whispered cheekily after, only for Fiona to shake her head with a smile.
"How are you doing?" Lily asked.
"Lovely, just feel a slight imbalance here and there but Madam Pomfrey says it should be gone by tomorrow or so." Fiona replied before eating her breakfast.
"Fia!"
And James dropped into the space by his sister just as Fiona had finished eating. "How are you?"
"Definitely better."
James nodded before putting his attention onto breakfast. Remus and Peter came in right after, both asking the same question before beginning to eat. A while passed and Fiona curiously looked around the table.
