Cedric pov
I walked into the great hall for breakfast and didn't see Rory she probably had just slept in she will probably just meet me in class. Theo had been gone for the week because his father took him out on a "holiday" really it was just him going and help run his fathers company because he would inherit it one day so he was gone for the week leaving just me and rory.
I walked to defense against the dark arts the only class I had with Rory. She wasn't there she had to be back in the dorm I thought. She would never skip a lesson would she. It wasnt like her she was an overachiever never missed anything.
I saw wood and went up to him.
" hey Oliver you seen Rory." I asked him
" nah mate havent seen her since last night sorry."
I sat down in my usual seat the professor called role and noticed she was going he he lifted his eyebrow at me I simply shrugged in confusion. I don't remember much from the lesson except we where talking about defending off grinndyloes mostly I was worrying about where Rory was. Usually I want like this she seemed fine last night but Rory never skipped class ever. One time in 2nd year she had the stomach flu she was throwing us so badly but she insisted to go to lessons she ended up going to the hospital wing though after being forced by Flitwick.
I ran out of the class and to the common room. I went up the flight of stairs.
" Rory you in here?" no answer.
"Rory." still no answer.

     I went to her bed and pulled the curtains back nothing I walked to the bathroom and to my horror there she sat her arm dripping in blood her ruddy braclet was covered and likely the cause of what happenedd. She was in a towel likely from last night she was out.
    
      her breaths where shallow. I picked her up and placed her on her bed. I grabbed a sweatshirt and shorts and slid them over her body trying to keep the blood from gushing out more to no avail it was all over my shirt but all I was thinking about was Rory.
I picked her up and headed to the hospital wing she was till out cold. I ran and finally got there her breaths were shallower then ever.
" POMPHRY!" I screamed.
I saw the short lady come out from her desks with shock on her face.
" oh poor child place her on the bed now." she pointed to the ned nearest me. I sat her down. Pomp hey looked horrified.
" go get shape lupin and album." she shouted at a house elf. She looked at the bracket and back at me.
" she's the only one who can take it off it'll only make it worse." I stutterd.
She dabbed at the wounds on her wrist and forearm with a no-bleeding solution. And tried to wrap around the braclet with no luck and and ended up just setting a wet cloth on it.
Professor dumbledor came in and whispered something to Pomphry and walked over to me.
" she'll be ok but you might advise her to not wear the braclet it's hurting her magic so much it's hurting her physically," he spoke softly to me looking over to Rory.
" she won't it's engraved into her brain she's dangerous her parents won't even let her I've asked her so many times to take it off she thinks she'll hurt everybody if she does."
" she'll soon find out taht if she doesn't learn to accept she is anything but a danger to anyone she will soon find her self in grave danger." He spoke back.
Professor snape and Lupin came in and walked towards us.
" here is the anti bleeding potion you asked for Albus." He spoke coldly not even acknowledging that a young girl could have died from bleeding out.
" if that is all I'll be leaving." Snape spoke towards dumbldoor.
" yes you may leave Severos." He quickly walked out. I turned towards Professor Lupin he gave me a small smile and looked at Rory her face was pale and she looked sickly. Her eyes fluttered open leaving me with some relief.
" what happened ." Her voice was raspy and weak.
" save your voice child, your braclet is hurting your miss Nightengale and I suspect you have known this for a while to the point where you where in danger of bleeding out, but I do believe you will need convincing to take that horrid thing off" he turned to be and gave me a smile.
" now i must be off please think about what your are doing miss Nightengale." He waved his wand to produce flowers by her bedside and walked out.
" Rory it's really hurting you you need to take it off." I spoke softly.
" you know I can't Ced I'll Hurt someone if I do." She was looking down at her lap. She looked bloody terrified and it killed me to watch.
We sat there for a few minutes when professor Lupin spoke.
" Cedric you should return to classes Rory needs rest." He looked at me with sarrow in his eyes he saw how it hurt me that she wouldn't let herself be free. It angered me to see her let herself get hurt while it can be easily stopped. I walked away I had tiers in my eyes she needed Theo not just me Theo knew what it was like in pure blood society he knew how to help her I couldn't help all the way with this I don't know what she went through so I did the most reasonable thing I wrote to Theo.
Dear Theo,
It's about Rory it's gotten worse she's in the hospital wing I can't help with this I'll explain when you come back write back asp about when your returning.
Love Cedric.
I gave the letter to my owl and he set off I went to class and prayed for Rory to get better to see herself as something other then a danger to people.

——— Rory pov———-
I saw him walk away he was angry I wouldn't take it off but if I did I could hurt him I could hurt everyone. I frowned and looked down at my lap.
" I brought you some books you'll be here for the day and continue classes tomorrow I believe." professor lupin said with a kind smile.
" oh and before I go I want to tell you something if you spend your whole life fighting who you are you will never know who you could become, learned that the hard way unfortunately. Your not a monster Rory don't let anyone tell you that.
--- several hours later-----
Theo had returned so him and Cedric where eating lunch with me in the hospital wing we were sitting in my bed talking about Quidditch. Pompbry came by to clean my wounds I still had the braclet on I couldn't take it off but I needed to I know I needed to. It started burning I yanked my hand away from her and held it to my chest.
" I know if hurts just let me put this potion on it." I gave her my arm and she slathered the potion on it. I started burning worse then before worse then last night I screamed out in pain I felt like it was sucking everything out of me I screamed again " TAKE IT OFF." the braclet was burning my skin off the boys had backed out of the way. I tore the braclet off my skin tairing the burnt skin with it I felt instant relief but it was soon replaced with a surge of power. My eyes glowed red so did my hands it was all to much so I did the only thing I knew. I screamed. My magic flew out of my hands it blew down walls and busted windows and by the time I stopped there was no wall to half of the hospital wing but the gorgeous sunset of Hogwarts. I took in a slow breath utterly terrified of what I just did. Professor Dumbldoor ran through the wing.
" is everyone alright." he spoke. I didn't answer I just stood there looking at my hands they where still glowing red faintly.
" did j hurt anyone please tell my I didn't ." I cried out I was utterly terrified.
" no dear child and we can fix this up in a jiffy." he spoke kindly it brought me comfort to know I didn't he lead me to my bed. And I watched him and pomphry restore the wing back to it's glory. Theo and Cedric sat on both sides of me resting a hand on my shoulder.
" I'm proud of you for taking it off Rory."
Cedric said in a small whisper. I looked up to the both of then they were giving me small smiles. Dumbledore walked over to me.
"Boys maybe you should leave." he told us.
" No, I want them here." I replied back, he gave me a smile and continued.
" Rory the reason this happend is because the braclet you where wearing wasn't stopping your magic from happening. It was only building it up. So when ever someone was doing powerful magic you where taking it in without realizing it. And if you continue to wear The braclet it will only get worse. I strongly advise you not to." he told me his voice was soft kind.
" my parents they'll make me." I told him.
" I've already worked it out your parents cannot force you too wear it Miss nightingale. Though we will have to tell them this happend they cannot force you to do anything anymore, your safe Rory."
The weight on my shoulders had fallen off of me finally. I was finally free of them.
I quickly fell asleep after pomphry had treated my wounds I was feeling amazing. And they said I could continue classes in a couple days I was ecstatic.
