"Do you suppose she is dead?"
"Don't say such disgraceful things, young lady!"
"She's clearly breathing."
Her eyes shot open. She gasped for a breath before she could process her surroundings. Her breathing was rapid, the memory of having Sirius' lifeless body in her arms fresh in her mind.
"Sirius? Where is he?"
"I'm right here, Blondie." That was when she realised her hands were not numb anymore, and they were intertwined with Sirius' who sat right beside her bed, looking down at her. Her hands were slightly shaky, her heartbeat increasing.

"What matters is she is okay," Sirius nodded, "you arrived there on time, Chasseur, thank Merlin." He started to graze his thumb delicately over the blonde's palm. That was when she realised her hands were thinly bandaged up.
"Alright, I'm definitely giving you two some space." Everest chimed in with absolute repulse, looking between the two's dreamy gaze. Scarlet quickly snapped out of her haze and turned to her best friend.
