The One With The Yule Ball

2

Later that night they all gathered in the stands watching the semi finals, Ireland vs Bulgaria. This game would determine who would was the years champion. Edan was seated beside Remus who had been silent almost the entire day. She poked him in the side and smiled at him. His eyes remained fixed on the field causing Edan to frown. The Bulgarian captain called for a thirty minute time out. The Twin went down to the concession to get some snacks with Harry and Ron. Arthur left to escort Ginny and Hermione through the ground and to the restroom.

"Why aren't you speaking to me?" Edan whispered to Remus.

He sighed deeply the looked at her. "I should not have let that happen. They've probably told Arthur by now who already isn't thrilled about our relationship."

"They didn't say anything to Arthur. Even if they did, who cares. Everyone has sex. I'm sure Arthur did at my age. Besides, I highly doubt they don't assume already." Edan tried to reason with him.

Remus sighed one again causing Edan's temper to flare at the sound of it. "I saw the way George was looking at you."

This caused Edan to laugh at the ridiculousness of his statement. "He was shocked is all. He barely saw anything."

" I saw the two of you outside the tents this afternoon. You looked more chummy than usual."

This caught Edan off guard. She didn't find anything different about their interaction compared to all other interaction they'd shared throughout the years. "I don't understand Remus."

The Twins returned before he could respond. Fred tossed her a chocolate frog. "For you Edy because you're just so sweet!" He squealed in an attempted girly voice. Edan giggled at him and said thank you. Remus sat back once more and remained silent waiting for the match to begin.

Edan wanted so badly to enjoy the match but it was hard considering Remus was opening pouting beside her. All of the noise roaring throughout the stadium was suddenly getting to her. She felt her anxiety building. She calmly stood and let George know she was running to the restroom. She made her way down the stairs as quickly as she could. Her breathing was growing ragged, she felt as thought she was gasping for a decent breath of air. Edan bounded down the last flight of stairs two at a time. When she neared the bottom with every intention of sprinting to the family tent. Just as she exited the stadium she collided into someone. Edan fell to the ground and cried out in pain as her wrist cracked from the impact.

Normally the pain would stop her out of the overwhelming feeling that was inching closer and closer. She looked up to apologize to who ever she'd run into. Much to her surprise it was Professor Snape. "Sorry sir." She mumbled climbing to her feet. 

"Why is it you can never seem to open your eyes and see where you're going!" Snape barked at her.

Edan winced slightly at his tone; tears were threatening to make there way down her cheeks. Snape noticed her demeanor then scowled. "Come here girl." He growled pulling her through the tents. He gripped her arm gently as he led her inside of a tent. 

It was quite small but looked very nice on the inside. There was a small kitchen amongst the living area. Off in the corner was a small cot with the covers pulled back, a arm chair close beside it. A door stood across from Edan which she assumed led to the loo. "Here" Snape shoved a small vial of liquid into her hand.

She swallowed it without question trusting Snape wholeheartedly after all the time they spent together the school year prior. Warmth spread through her and her mind finally quieted. She took a deep breath and smiled sheepishly at Snape. "Thank you Professor." 

"Give me your hand." Edan obliged. He pulled out his wand and spoke the necessary spell to mend it. A moment later the pain in her hand disappeared and her wrist was wrapped.
