Estrella pov

My whole body hurts. I'm shivering like crazy but also sweating from being too hot. It feels like the Hogwarts choir is in my head and there is a ringing in my ear. I must be dying; only death can feel this awful. The only good thing about that is the end result but fuck must it be so complicated just cut my head off and be done with it. I groan in protest as the bounding in my head just increases. I hear distant6 laughter over the ringing in my ears but am unable to open my eyes.

"Welcome back to the living Estrella," Jacqueline jokes.

"Huh?" I manage to say.

"Oh it's nothing you only slept for 17 hours," Ava says.

"Not that we blame you with," Grace quickly adds on

"Come, my Lady, let's get you out of bed and dressed so you can eat something," Fiona says. At the mention of food I both want to vomit and stuff my face with as much food as physically possible.

"Thanks, you're the only useful one," I say not really meaning to but I'm in too much pain to care

"Ouch," Ava jokes. I can hear Fiona chuckle lightly as she reaches my side. She goes to lift the blanket off of me but pulls back her hand as soon as she touches me as.

"Oh my Estrella! I mean I mean Lady Estrella," Fiona says, sounding panicked. I finally manage to open my eyes and I look at her in confusion what the fuck is it now, I swear if I need to go through anymore fucking character development I'll develop into a fucking corpse.

"What is it?" Grace asks.

"Feel how warm she is," Fiona says.

"What fuck Estrella you're burning up," Jacquline says her hand on my forehead.

"Yeah that makes sense," I mumble.

"Ok what the fuck did they do to you?" Ava asks, I shoot her a look telling her to back down.

"Estrella we need to know otherwise we don't know what we're dealing with. Remember rule number one: don't lie to your med-witches," Ava explains calmly.

"My back," I whisper. They turn me on to my back, the thin white linen I'm wearing allows them to see everything.

"Holy fuck," Grace whispers.

"Is it really bad?" I ask sarcastically, I mean it must be to get Grace to swear.

"No Estrella she isn't talking about what was done to you, although that is awful to and a discussion for another time, it's the, the wound is infected badly," Jacuqeline explains.

"Fiona, will you go get you-know-who?" Ava asks and I can see Fiona nod before almost running away.

"Voldemort? How is he going to help me?" I ask.

"Not him, your parents. Don't worry, confusion is completely normal. What isn't normal isd parents torturing their children," Jacqueline says, muttering the last sentence though we all can hear it.

"Jacky, not the time!" Grace snaps.

"It's fine. How will my parents help me?" I ask.

"No idea but surely they do something instead of letting you die," Ava says. Right on cue my bedroom door is slammed open.

"What did you filthy low-lives do!" Father yells and if I had any strength I would have snapped back but I don't which is probably for the better.

"Nothing, she was just like that when she woke up," Fiona explains calmly before Jacqueline can go on a Gryffindor rage rant.
