I got a shower after the game. I could believe we won, but also I still wanted to know how and who knew about Nic. It's bothering me deeply that I don't know. Everyone who participated in the game didn't have to go to class for the rest of the day.
I decided to go for a walk as I was bored out of my mind. I started walking down the dorms and was about to walk outside when I heard Molly talking to some girls.
Molly: "She's doing it for male attention. She isn't even good,"
Nelly: "I don't know, she was the reason they won the game."
Molly: "she wasn't even playing for her house. She's werid."
A girl: "against her own boyfriend and friends too, she's fake"
A familiar voice: "she played because she loves it, and she's good at it! It's none of your business. "
Molly: "Who do you think you're talking to mudblood!"
Then I heard a slap. I walked out and saw Granger on the ground. I pushed the girls out the way and helped her up.
"Attention whore!" Molly yells.
"Your pathetic, go before I floor you again" I yelled back. All the girls turned around and started walking. I heard one of them mention Nic and that was my last straw.
"The fuck did you just say about Nic?!" I shouted.
"Just that he died like a little bitch!" Molly laughed. I wiped out my wand and turned her into a rat, the girls screamed and ran away. A hand came up behind me.
"Turn her back darling" Matheo said. I did and she looked furious.
"No wonder Nicholas left you in the first place!" She yelled. I was about to say something but Matheos hand covered my mouth.
"Leave now" Draco said firmly. Molly ran off back inside and I pulled Matheos hand off my mouth turning to them.
"She deserved more" I said grumpily and crossed my arms. Matheo roled his eyes and chucked.
"You should know.." Herminone said stepping forward and we all looked at her. "You played good but people here aren't the best, lots hate you for playing on the wrong side" she said softly.
"I don't care about that, but how do they know about Nic" I asked turning to Matheo, he shrugged and Granger spoke again.
"You don't know?" She looked confused and we looked even more confused back at her. "He's Nicolas Famel, he's a legend and there's a picture of you two on the trophy wall"
"That doesn't make sense" I muttered.
"Yeah Dumbledor wanted you to together since your family" Theo chimed in.
"I mean it makes sense, he did teach you how to play" Matheo said.
"Oh well, I'm going" I said walking off but Matheo grabbed my arm and I whimpered in pain.
"Shit sorry" he said quickly pulling away.
"Elena show me your arm" Granger said skeptical. I showed her and my arm wasn't healing. "They used a magical blaide".
"And that means what?" Draco asked.
"If it gets to her heart before we heal her she'll die" Theo muttered. We all looked at him. "I accidentally paid attention in class, shut up!"
"So we take her to the medical thingy" Matheo said.
"Then they keep her there and stop her from playing." Hermione said.
"No" I stated.
"Elena-" I cut Theo off.
"No, I'll fix it myself" I said rolling my sleeve down.
"You can't do that yourself" Granger said. She seemed to be hiding something so I read her mind.
"Fine" I said walking away, Matheo followed me and stopped me.
"Your not going are you".
"No I can ask Oliver, he was in the same position before and he can still play" I said. He looked at me for a minute and seemed to be thinking it out.
"Let's go find him then" he smiled. I smiled back and we headed to the gryfindoor common room. The painting wouldn't let Matheo in so I pleaded until they finally agreed.
"Hey Elena what's up?" Oliver asked standing up and walking to us.
"Woods we ain't finished the game!" Fred yelled. "Oh never mind, hey Elena". I waved at him and turned back to Oliver.
"I need your help" he looked at Matheo then back at me and nodded. He lead us into his dorm room and started shuffling around with some stuff.
"I assume this is about the magical blade thing" he said.
"How do you know about that?" Matheo asked. Oliver approached me and roled up my sleeve.
"This is going to sting" he warned then put it on my cup. I held back my screams and clenched my eyes shut until he pulled away.
"So how did you know?" I asked roling my sleeve back down.
"There slytherins and your a girl, your boyfriend's team are full of dicks" he said mostly aimed at Matheo. Matheo scoffed at his comment.
"Find the guy who did it to you and get him to give you the blade then come back to me" Oliver said.
"Wait so what was the stuff you put on her arm?" Matheo asked.
"Stuff to calm it down, she's going to be in pain if she doesn't get that blade" he said.
"Great way to die" I chuckled softly.
"Your not dying" Matheo muttered and messaged the slytherins to find out who it is. Theo soon messaged back and told us to meet them at the slytherin room.
I could already feel a sharp pain in my arm but tried playing it off as we walked to the common room. The room was filled with all the slytherin players and they looked worried as they was being shouted at.
"Elena did you see who did it" Tom said turning to me. I shook my head and he looked back at them.
"Do it" Matheo whispered to me. I tried reading there mind but it wouldn't work. I was too weak. "Fuck" Matheo mumbled. He walked over to one of them and pinned him against the wall holding a wand to his neck making everyone alarmed.
"I will kill all of you until I find out who it is!" He yelled.
"He was paid!" The guy getting pinned up said.
"By who" Tom asked.
"Molly" I muttered and the slytherin nodded. I felt faint and Pansy sat me down as they was all shouting to find out who it was.
"It was me!" One of them yelled handing Theo the blade. Theo giggled taking the blade and cut the guys arm. He shouted in pain.
"Go get Oliver Woods" Matheo ordered and they all left. I tried standing but fell into Matheos arms.
"Fuck your burning up" he said sitting down and putting me on his lap. I hugged him and he hugged me back.
"I'm gone for a day and you die without me" Pansy says softly chuckling. I felt my eyes drifting slowly as my body went weak.
"No,stay awake" Matheo said putting his hand on my cheek. Oliver runs in with Theo, Draco and Tom behind him and he injects me with something making me flinch.
"Thank you" I muttered Burying my face into Matheos chest. They all let out a sigh of relief and sat down.
"Can't let the star of the game die on my watch," Oliver laughed softly. "I have no right to say this, but you guys need to be with her. People will keep doing this or worse," he said to them, heading towards the door.
"Woods," Matheo said, getting his attention. "Thank you." Oliver nodded and left.
