             COLIN REMAINED IN THE HOSPITAL wing for a fortnight until Madam Pomfrey deemed him well enough to leave and resume his regular schedule.

He had a fractured skull, brain damage and slight memory loss, and remained in coma for a week.

Theo hadn't meant for things to go that far. He never wanted Ophelia to see his dark side, and as a result, he had been avoiding her.

He apologized many times, and Ophelia had chastised him a little, but she forgave him in the end after seeing the regret in his eyes.

Theo didn't deserve to be forgiven. He always thought she was too pure for him.

At the moment, he was keeping her at an arm's length, wallowing in regret and self pity.


They had detention together. Even then, Theo avoided her gaze, and that was the moment Ophelia knew that he needed space.

She had tried to talk to him, ask him if everything was alright, but he had brushed it off and refused to look her in the eye.

"You're too good for me, baby," he had murmured, before kissing her nose. After that, he kept his distance from her, and Ophelia understood that he would approach her again, once he felt better.


Harry also had detention. Snape had given him detention for the rest of the year, much to Ophelia's satisfaction.

Draco was almost fully healed. His scars had almost completely faded, and he was no longer unconscious, but he still looked rather pale.

Ophelia was avoiding Draco, feeling an insane amount of guilt for being responsible for his current situation.


There was so much going on in her mind, Ophelia was mentally exhausted, but she knew that if she allowed herself to dwell on her thoughts, she would fail to study for her OWLs, which were approaching closer and closer by the day.

Instead, she focused all that anger in practicing for the upcoming Quidditch match against Ravenclaw. It was this match that would determine whether Gryffindor would keep the Quidditch cup or not.

Katie Bell was back from St. Mungo's, which meant she would resume her position as a chaser on the team, alongside Ophelia and Ginny.

Because Harry had detention on the day of the Quidditch match, Ginny would replace him as seeker, whilst Demelza Robbins, the reserve chaser would be stepping in to play. 

Ron Weasley was also back on the team, and even though Ophelia did not like him, she would rather have him than McLaggen.


According to Ophelia, playing Ravenclaw was much, much easier than playing Hufflepuff. For once, there was no Cormac McLaggen annoying the rest of the team members and bossing them around.
