Later, after the news of Sirius Black, it was time for everyone to head back to their common rooms. Through all of the things I've been through today, I don't think I could sleep much. After Ron asked me about going to the infirmary with Malfoy, I tried my best to avoid all topics about it that might trigger and ask me. I excused myself soon to go up to my room to study, even if it means being in the same room as Hermione.

I'll have to tell her either way. She is the only person I know who could help. I opened my book in bed which wasn't related to what I learned this week, just anything to keep my mind busy. Hermione came to the room standing next to me, she'll ask me for sure and I'm not even ready.

"Aren't you at least going to tell me what happened?" she asked, standing with her hands on her hips and she's not going anywhere, not with her stubborn side until I answer her.

I sigh in defeat because I sadly need to give up or else, yet I still refuse. "Nothing happened, Herm," I swipe another page from the book even when I haven't finished reading the page because her standing like this makes me more nervous than I am.

"Your ears were red, you barely spoke a word, and not to mention your eyes were puffy a bit and you were crying, and I want to know what happened," she demands.

I sit up straight on the bed and closed the book. I open the cage to get Pix for comfort and strive for courage to confess everything to herm about today.

"Fine, but don't pressure me next time, it's really bothering."

She takes a deep breath and sits next to me. "Okay" she tugs a strand of hair behind her ear "I am sorry, but can you please tell me? I hate seeing you like this," I eventually look at her.

"Something has happened and I don't know what's going on at all, it just seems all too queer."

"If I may ask, does this have to do with Malfoy? Because if it does, I will put a wand on his head if he upset you."

"𝐼𝑓 𝑖𝑡'𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑏𝑙𝑜𝑜𝑑𝑦 𝑏𝑙𝑜𝑛𝑑 𝑏𝑜𝑦 𝑎𝑔𝑎𝑖𝑛 , 𝐼 𝑎𝑚 𝑠𝑢𝑟𝑒 𝑡𝑜 𝑝𝑢𝑡 𝑎 ℎ𝑜𝑙𝑒 𝑖𝑛 ℎ𝑖𝑠 ℎ𝑒𝑎𝑑"

Pix chirps furiously. Hermione finds it unpleasant since she is not aware of what Pix is fussing about.

"I actually don't know, not anymore. Things keep occurring to me worse than the other."

"How about you tell me from the beginning and we can think about it afterwards," she suggests.

"Madam Pomfrey asked if I could patch Draco's wound with the bandages because there was a worse student that came in, so she asked me to do it since it's not a problem and I couldn't say no."

"And then what?"

"The moment I held Draco's hand, a weird gold misty light appeared. It was so overwhelming what happened, I flinched and hit his arm on the end of the bed," I scratch the back of my neck awkwardly, It was real clumsy of me.

"I thought it was some new ability like healing injuries or something , It was a minor thought at that time but nothing at all. I touched his hand again as if I was pretending to wrap his arm, but it didn't happen.

A few minutes afterward... things happened, and then he asked if we could be friends because I am amusing to look at, which I caught him looking at the end of my hair," I clench my arm in fury. It still rages in me whenever I remember it.
