Sebastian pov

I was on my way to Defence when Professor Weasley stopped me saying that she had received an owl saying Aria has woken up and I grabbed Ominis on his way from divination and we went straight to the hospital doors. It was locked. Nothing would open it. Nothing to do but wait. It was probably an hour later. We skipped defense class, and that's when the door opened and Professor Weasley stepped out.

"How is she? Is she alright! Can we see her?" I say rapidly at her.

"Mr Sallow, relax, Miss Black is fine, she's resting she's gone though a lot and told me everything and it's tired her, come back in the morning let her have some peaceful rest" she tells me.

"But—" I start.

"No buts Sebastian, I insist, come back in the morning, don't make me lock this door again if I hear you disobeyed" she tells me. And walks away.

"Come on Sebastian, let's go to the feast and eat" well come back first thing in the morning" Ominis says dragging me away to the Great Hall.

I barely ate anything. Then we went to the common room. More waiting, and I went to lay down and so did Ominis. I didn't sleep at all. I was tossing and turning. So was Ominis I heard his restlessness in the bed next to mine. When I noticed the sunlight piecing its way through the water of the lake and into the windows of the dorm. I groaned and walked to the bathroom to freshen up to make myself look presentable and not like a infiri from being up all night. I woke up Ominis who must have given in to sleep at some point. Told him I wanted to go up there now. I gave him a few minutes to get himself ready and then we were off to the hospital wing again.

There were very few people walking around this early in the morning. I looked at my watch and it was a quarter to six in the morning. We made it to the hospital and threw the doors open and we walked to her bedside again. Aria was asleep. She was clutching the note I wrote, so she was awake to read it. I smiled and ran an hand through her hair. She made a noise and bolted up with a scream.

"Hey hey, it's alright" I say.

"S-Seb?" She says.

"Hello darling" I say.

"Oh S-Seb" she said and threw her arms around me. I hugged her back. I saw Ominis lay a hand on her arm.

"Omi?" She said.

"Hello love" he says and joined the hug, she put an arm around him as well.

"Oh, Aria darling I missed you so much" I say.

"Me too love" Ominis says.

"Oh i-its gr-great to s-see you b-both" she says, then I heard her sniffle.

"Are you crying love" Ominis asked.

"I-I'm so hap-py to s-see you" she said.

"Ahh your awake, have a good rest? I see you boys are back. How long has she been up." Nurse Blainely asked.

"A few minutes" I say.

"Aria I need you to drink another wiggenweld" she hands her a small green vile. She drank it.
"Well I'll let you three catch up"

"Wait, how long is she going to be here still, surly not much more time right" I ask.

"Well that all depends on how much recovery she does. She just needs to keep the wiggenwelds and build up her strength then we can get her walking around again then she'll be good as new and able to leave" she tells us.

"Thank you" I say and I saw her walk away. I turned my attention back to Aria.

"How are you feeling darling?" I ask her.
