Playing it safe [ Fred Weasley x reader ]

<< Chapter 10 >>

--Edited--

I wake up with a terrible headache. I can't even get up. I just lay there, almost in tears because of how bad the pain is. "Y/n! Come on! We're going to be late to breakfast!" Katie yells as she grabs her books. I close my eyes again. "Will you do a favor for me?" I whisper, wincing in pain. It feels like my head is being split open. "Yeah. Hey are you alright?" She asks, furrowed her brows. Just the sound of her talking pushes me over. I scream and grab my head. I curl into a little ball."Y/n!!" I hear someone exclaim. Right before black out.

~°○°~

I wake up and see a white curtain in front of me. I start to panic. Am I at the hospital!? I look around and regain the sense of my surroundings. Good. I'm only at the hospital wing. The curtain Flys back to reveal Madame Pomfry carrying a tray of food. "Good, you're awake. You need to eat. I brought you dinner and already gave you two of your treatments. " She says, setting the tray on the bedside table. "Dinner?" I ask, rubbing my temple. It can't be that late..."Yes. You blacked out and slept the whole day. Your dorm mate, Miss Bell alarmed me of your condition this morning. Eat." Madame Pomfry says and the leaves.

I look at the tray, but leave it. Never hungry, always scared. I sit in the bed, finding a spot on the wall to stare at, letting my mind take me somewhere else.

.▪︎•°* Flashback *°•▪︎.

"Honey, it's going to be okay. Remember what the doctor said." My mom says. I find a spot on the blank, white wall in front of me and try to forget everything. The pain, The nurses constantly coming in and out of the cramped room, the tubes, the slow beeping of machines, the white room, the bright light.

I wish I couldn't survive.

.▪︎•°* End *°•▪︎.

"Hey y/n!" I hear Hermione say. I don't turn and look, I just keep staring. I had hoped my friends wouldn't have to find me in this state this year. Too late. "I heard you were here! Everything okay?" She asks. "Also, I'm sorry. I couldn't shake them off my trail..."  Her voice guilty. That grabs my attention. I turn to look at her and see not one, but three people staring at me with concerned faces. "Hey y/n/n!" The twins say in unison. I remember everything that happened last night as I look down, avoiding Fred's gaze. "Hey." I say, Desperately wishing I could dissappear.

Fred crouches down to my level. "Everything okay!? I was really worried when I heard. What happened?" He asks. I don't think I've ever seen him more serious. I tried to forget about what happened yesterday but it was hard when his face was so close to mine.

"I got slipped a potion. At dinner last night. The effects started this morning, it was mostly just a headache." I lie.

Excuses excuses excuses. "By who!?" George asks. "Yeah who? Tell us y/n. We can get them back." Fred and George exchange a smirk. "I don't know. " I say. "I'll meet you guys at dinner, okay?" I suggest. "Are you sure you're up to it?" Fred asks. "Yeah. See you there." The twins leave, Fred's eyes lingering on me a little longer before it's just me and Hermione.

"Was the IV showing!?" I ask, adjusting my sweater. "No, it was hidden. So what really happened?" She asks me. "It really was just a headache. It's happened before. Feels like my heads getting chopped off." I say getting up. I stumble and almost fall but she catches me. "Are you sure you want to go to dinner? " She asks. "Yes. Positive.
