You sighed and closed your eyes. Wishing to be released of this unnecessary confinement.

Its been three days since that dreadful night, and nurse Blainey was determined to keep you here for as long as possible. based on professor Weasley's request.

"I want her to completely recover before she can be discharged" was what she said after talking to professor Fig again.

You felt much better than before, granted you still felt sore and in pain when you moved a lot but you didn't need to stay in bed.

You sighed again getting up and walking to the window, watching the students playing around in the courtyard, seemingly classes have concluded for the day.

Just as you thought that. familiar footsteps echoed behind you, and without turning around you closed your eyes and sighed yet again.

He came back.

Even though you told him to leave you alone. He kept coming back every day right after his last classes finished.

And if it was up to him, he would have stayed by your side all day and night. But nurse Blainey kicked him out on many occasions telling him he needed to leave you to rest and get better.

Funny how he even tried to use his family name to get him to stay with you longer, but he didn't win against the stubborn nurse.

"You shouldn't be standing yet, you should lay in bed" He whispered.

Carefully walking behind you, and putting a hand on your shoulder gently.

You could feel his warm breath against your back, making you turn around slowly to face him.

"You should not be here, and yet here you are..." You whispered back watching his facial expression break down into a heart-rending frown.

"I missed you...please stop pushing me away...I don't want to be apart from you, its dreadful enough that I cant stay here with you" He came closer, but you put a hand on his chest stopping him in his spot.

His lips quivered as he bit them slightly in agony. he let a soft sigh escape them right after before stepping back from your form regretfully.

"Ominis...You confuse me...one day you tell me you love me, and the next you wont even admit that we are together...honestly how do you expect me to react?" you sat down on the window railing looking outside with a hardened expression.

The wind gently swaying your hair around.

He could feel it slightly on his face as the soft locks brushed against his pale skin lightly.

He would take anything from your presence right now.

Even the hair that was always in his way, felt like a piece of heaven at this moment. where he was forbidden from getting closer to you.

"I'm so sorry...I was consumed by Anne's sickness that I didn't know I was hurting you. the person I love whole heartedly...I don't want all this pain with all this confusion to be the cause of your agony and frustration, I don't want all this doubt and this suspicion to cause a dent In our relationship. please forgive me! I made a mistake that will never happen again. I will tell the whole world I'm only yours. I will yell it from this window if you want me to" He came closer to the window and grabbed your hands bringing them over to his mouth cautiously. afraid you would deny him your touch again.

You watched his lips graze your palms with soft kisses.

Tracing each line that creased your palm with his mouth, as it opened and closed, dragging his wet lips on your skin slowly making you shiver.
