"I still feel my ears ringing," you say too loudly to Garreth for the tenth time on your long walk back to the Ravenclaw dorms.
"Shh, keep your voice down or else-" Garreth starts to warn you before stopping suddenly. "Shit."
"What is it?" you ask before he slams his hand over your mouth. "Garreth!" you add, though the words are muffled by his hand.
"I think we're being followed," he whispers.
"Really?" you then mumble.
"Yes, and if you could stop moving your mouth and listen, then maybe-"
"You can't be serious," you scoff.
"Shh," he insists, and turns a corner too fast. The two of you bump right into a tall figure that sends your brain into a spiral. You let out a small gasp before you can stop yourself and it catches the man's attention right away.
"Y/N?" Ominis' voice calls out to you. "What are you doing out so late? Are you okay?"
"I'm fine," you laugh awkwardly due to the uncomfortable way that Garreth is staring at you with wide eyes and slowly shaking his head. "Just trying to get to bed!"
"I know you were out late with that Gryffindor," he says, stepping forward.
"Oh, uh, yeah," you nod, taking a step backwards, "I just ran into him downstairs. But, actually, I'm going to sleep now. So if you don't mind..."
"I could report you for being out past curfew, you know," he continues.
"You wouldn't," you say, narrowing your eyes at him.
"I will if it helps keep you safe. I don't think you're always wearing that charm I gave you. How do you always get yourself into bad situations?" he then asks, and you notice Garreth roll his eyes. "As a muggle, you need to be extra careful."
"What's that supposed to mean?" you scoff. "Besides, you're out late, too. I could be asking you why you're not in the dorms, you know."
Just then, from behind you, a set of footsteps grow louder. When you turn back, you see Sebastian heading towards you, a smug grin on his face.
"Ominis," he calls before eyeing that bloodstain on your shirt. "Shit, what the hell happened to you, Y/N? You're bleeding!" He then glares at Garreth with an icy stare.
"I, uh, it's fine. We're just leaving," you say.
"Like hell she is," Sebastian growls, pulling out his wand and pointing it directly at Garreth. "What did you do to her?"
"Are you hurt, Y/N?" Ominis then asks. "Garreth is still here? Why didn't you say so?"
"I'm not," you lie just as a sharp pain hits your stomach. That potion must be wearing off. You reach out to Garreth and lean against his side for support. "He was helping me get back to the dorms."
