My first love

Part 7: free me

Miley woke up in the hospital wing; the twins, harry, her mother and hermione were by her bedside. She tried to sit up but felt a large pain at the back of her head. She looked around to see she was in the hospital wing. Ron was in the bed beside her with mr and Mrs Weasley and the rest of the siblings by his side. " what happened?" I"she mumbled as she slowly closed her eyes in fatigue. " Remus, he attacked you, while you was distracted. You hit your head on a rock" Hermione exclaimed. Miley felt a hand in hers, she turned to see fred, his eyes glassy " I'm so sorry miles, I should have stopped you I should have protected you!" He said his voice slightly breaking. She turned to see her mother, her hand over her mouth tears in her eyes " I'm glad your ok my dear" she said a slight smile appearing on her lips. Molly Weasley walked over and gave her a reassuring back rub, they'd been friends since school so it must have been nice to have her there. " why don't we all go and get something to eat in the great hall" mr Weasley said " give young miley and Ron some time to rest" he gave her a smile and a nod to which she smiled back. The adults all left the room along with all the Weasleys apart from Ron and Fred " I want to stay here with miley" he said still holding her hand. His mother smiled, " ok dear, Harry Hermione will you join us?" She turned to the two on the other side of my bed, "
Actually Mrs Weasley we would like to stay with Ron to make sure he's ok" Hermione said very quickly. Mrs Weasley nodded and they all left. " where's my dad?" Miley said to Harry as the door for the ward shut.  Harry looked at Hermione who began to tear up, " I tried to protect him but the dementors came, I was in a hospital bed too but I stayed for a day or two, whereas you've been here near on two weeks now" he began. Miley felt her heart sink, she knew what was coming. He was gone. " I'm sorry miley, there going to give him the dementors kiss" Hermione added a single tear of sympathy pouring. Miley looked at Fred who too had tears pouring from his eyes. It was weird to see Fred cry as he wasn't an overly emotional guy. Dumbledore walked in and Hermione ran over to him. Miley could hear her talking to him as Harry joined her but all she could focus on was Fred's tears. Miley began to cry. She had just got her father back and now he's been sentenced to death.

Hermione came back with Harry, " Fred stay here with miley" she exclaimed Fred wiped his eyes cleared his throat and nodded. She then turned to Ron as she began to pull out her necklace and wrap it around her and Harry's necks, " sorry Ron, your to injured to join us" and with that she turned her necklaces centrepiece three times and they were gone. " you should get to sleep" Fred said as he got into the bed with her and gently placed her onto his chest " where they gone?" Ron exclaimed his eyes wide. They laughed at him he looked at them as Fred was lowering her bandaged head onto his chest. "Ewww, if you're going to do anything please close the curtain and put a silencing charm too!" He said in a childish tone "oh shut it Ron, or I'll tell madam pomfrey you were bitten by a spider." Miley muttered as she shut her eyes. She heard Ron whine and drifted off to sleep.

Miley couldn't have slept more than 15 minutes until she was awoken by not so very quiet voices. " you were just there and now your there" Ron exclaimed. Harry and Hermione laughed at him then silence. Miley's eyes were still closed but she could sense they were looking at her and Fred. " Weasley, what the hell are you doing?" Harry said rather sternly. " quiet, she's trying to sleep" she heard Fred say his voice in a hushed tone. " no I will not be quiet, I've seen the way you are with her. The way you look at her but then you don't actually admit your feelings. Stop messing my sister around" Harry shouted. At this point Miley decided to open my eyes, " great mate now she's awake" Fred said rather whiney. " boys it is not the time or the place" Hermione said as she sat by Miley's side. " what's going on" she said as she adjusted her eyes to the light. " nothing" Harry said back rather harshly. Miley gave him a look and then turned back to Hermione. " we did it miley, your father is free and buckbeak is alive." She said as her and Harry took it in turns to tell them all about the adventure they had been on. Miley felt a huge amount of relief knowing her father and buckbeak had escaped together somewhere safe. This whole time she still remained in Fred's arms. Miley could see Harry giving Fred glares to which Fred just chuckled making Harry even more annoyed. Miley soon drifted to sleep in Fred's arms allowing the two boys to stare each other down.

The next day she awoke to see that Fred had gone but she could still smell his scent, she turned to see him in his pyjamas asleep on the chair and she was wearing his jumper. Miley smiled slightly and held the sleeves to my nose closing her eyes and taking in the warm scent of cinnamon and vanilla. Fred smirked slightly and said in a deep morning voice " glad you like it love, you can keep it if you want it looks better on you" miley smiled. She lifted her head as the medicine madam pomfrey had mostly healed it and leaned down to kiss Fred on his cheek, just a peck. His face turned red as he opened his eyes and smiled. " how come you moved to the chair?" She asked but before Fred could answer she forgot that Ron too was in the room. " mum came back told him he had no business being in your bed. Asked if you two were dating" Ron said while stuffing his face with breakfast. " oh yeah and what did Fred say?" Miley asked asif Fred wasn't in the room, " he said you's wasn't, your just mates but mum still said it's wrong and made him move to the chair. He put the jumper on you said he's scared you'd get cold" Ron Carried on oblivious to his surroundings as he munched on some sausages. Miley giggled and gave Fred a glare,  he sat with his arms crossed and eyes shut still smirking. Madam pomfrey dismissed both Ron and Miley that afternoon. Miley sent Fred to his bed to get some proper sleep as he hadn't left her side hardly in days unless he was eating or washing. Miley went to the great hall for a well deserved meal. Of course Ron wanted to join. Harry and Hermione were already there. She sat next to Harry and Ron sat next to Hermione. " is there something going on between you and Fred?" Harry asked as he tucked into some quiche. " no, we're just friends" miley said not looking up from her plate as she didn't want Harry to see the sadness in her eyes. " well why does he keep doing weird things around you, he acts different with you to the other girls" Harry said looking directly at her " I don't know Harry he just does, you wouldn't understand until you get to our age" she said slightly harsher than she wanted to. At that he dropped the topic and they spoke about the Christmas break at the burrow.
