Ruby woke up as her head ached.she looked around and for a second she felt like the surrounding was unfamiliar and later she realized it as Hospital Wing.

Ruby slowly got from the bed as she leaned a bit back using her elbows. Aside of her bed was her brother's. He was in unconscious state with many wounds and cuts in his body.

"Remus..." she whispered before getting up from the bed and making her way towards him. The scars that were present in his body made her feel like crying out. She knew that her brother undergoes many things, but she'd never seen his scars.

She traced her finger along his old scars softly as a she let out a whimper.

"Oh, Remy.."

"Ms Lupin, I'm glad that you're awake" came Madam Pomfrey with a smile but her smile faded once she saw tears in Ruby's eyes.

"What happened, sweetheart?" She asked.

"How- how's Remus?" She ignored the question asked by Madam Pomfrey.

"He'll be fine. He's just taking rest. Nothing to worry" Madam Pomfrey said, looking at Remus.

"And how are you feeling now?" Madam Pomfreynasked, now looking at Ruby who was confused. And only then she remembered about the previous night's incident.

That scream. That pain. She could still feel it.

"I don't know, what happened to me? How I came here?" She bombarded with questions.

"Oh, a fellow gryffindor girl brought you here, why did you faint in the first place, dear?" Madam Pomfrey asked as she noticed how the girl hesitated but somehow she said it out.

"i felt someone.. screaming and it was terrible, i felt suffocated" Ruby said as she closed her eyes in fear.

"do you get it frequently?"

"no, it's my first time" Ruby answered as she felt like she was getting interrogated by some official.

"oh, it must be your stress. needn't worry. you can leave by afternoon" Madam Pomfrey said as she walked out of the hospital wing. Ruby heaved a sigh and looked at her brother who was still asleep. she slowly stepped towards and brushed his hair with her fingers before pressing a soft kiss on his forehead.

"get well soon, Remy" she whispered and walked out of the hospital wing. she decided to take rest for the rest of the day as the classes were already started. as soon as she entered the common room, she could see a sleepy Sirius in the couch near the fire place. she assumed that his friends must've left for the class as she took careful steps towards him.

his face was looking peaceful. like an infant. she then noticed how his arms were hugging his body. Ruby immediately went to her dorm and took an extra blanket which her mom wove for her. she then retraced her steps back to the common room and wrapped the blanket around his body. Sirius felt the sudden warmth as he snuggled closer to the blanket with a little pout formed in his lips. she giggled at the sight and went back to her dorm for a peaceful sleep, just like the one Sirius was having.

the following day, Ruby got up from the bed with a wide grin. she wanted to make the day happy, so she decided to do it. she dressed up herself in her uniform and went to have breakfast in the great hall with her friends.

as soon as she entered, she noticed her Gryffindor friends, chatting loud and the other side, she saw her Ravenclaw friend, all being gloomy. Ruby was now seriously confused by the girl's behavior so she decided to have her breakfast along with Eleanor.

once Eleanor noticed Ruby's presence, she immediately plastered her a smile. which was absolutely a fake one.

"hey-"

"don't hey me, Bingley! what the hell is wrong with you?I've been noticing your abnormal behavior for past few days! " Ruby scolded her friend who just lowered her gaze as she clenched her fist.

"you were right, Ruby... " Eleanor started.

"what?"

"you were right all the time... you said not to trust that guy, but i didn't even bother to listen to your words..." Tears started to blur her vision. Ruby furrowed her eyebrows and looked at her friend.

"what are you saying?"

"he used me, Ruby. that son of a bitch fucking used me" she whispered in a coarse voice, afraid that someone might hear their conversation.

"he used me for my body.... once everything was over, he just dumped me.. he said hurtful words to me, Ruby. he said that I- I'm a s- slut who just sleeps with anyone" Ruby clenched her fist and her blood was boiling. how dare he say like that to her best friend!

"it's my mistake" Eleanor said as her lips trembled and tears were leaking out of her eyes. it broke Ruby's heart to see her friend in this situation and she decided to help her friend by getting revenge on him.

"don't worry, El. let's bring that fuckface down to hell"
