I opened my eyes and all I saw was the ceiling of the infirmary. The room was really tall and the ceiling was bewitched to look like the night sky, just like in the Great Hall.
'So beautiful' I thought and my eyes closed once again, my body ready to give in to sleep.
'Wait! Why am I staring at the ceiling? And why am I in the infirmary?'
I got up and looked around. The room was dark and I could sense that no one was around. On the nightstand next to my bed there was a bouquet of withered flowers and some boxes with chocolate frogs.
'How long have I been here and what the hell happened'
I tried moving my legs but I couldn't.
'What the?'
All sorts of scenarios flashed through my mind. Maybe I had fallen and hit my legs or head or something and could never walk again, or maybe they've put me under anesthesia.
I grabbed the sheets that were on my legs and pulled them off me, only to see that I was tied on the bed.
My eyes widened and I felt the burden of guilt on my chest.
'I went berserk again didn't I? ' I thought as tears streamed down my face.
'Remember Alex! What's the last thing you remember?' I thought again.
The last thing I remember...the Cruciatus curse in Moody's class but nothing after that. I tried calming myself down with thoughts like "If the incident was repeated then nobody would have brought you chocolate frogs" but they didn't have the result I expected so I just decided to eat a chocolate frog.
I could barely reach the boxes on my night stand, with my legs tied but after stretching as far as I could I managed to grab one.
I opened it but the stupid frog jumped off my hands and fell off the bed.
'Ughh...fuck this' I thought rolling my eyes and I laid on the bed closing my eyes once more, hoping that sleep will come without any wait...
But of course it didn't. Instead I laid awake there for a long time, just looking and counting the shooting stars in the "sky".
I don't know how much time had passed when the door of the infirmary opened. I stood up immediately to see who opened it only to see pr. Dumbledore.
"Professor? Why am I here? Why am I tied? What hap-" I started but he interrupted me with a gentle voice.
"Miss Abbot. I'll answer your questions soon but first..." he said while walking towards my bed but he suddenly stopped, looking at the ground.
"Oh my...I'm afraid I just killed your frog," he said with a surprised look.
He then sat on the bed next to mine and took his left shoe off. He had stepped on my chocolate frog. I could hardly sustain my laughter but then he moved his wand and the chocolate disappeared.
"I'm so sorry professor, my legs were tied and I couldn't catch the frog" I apologized.
"It's quite alright, Miss Abbot" he said, putting his shoe back on.
"Oh and now that you mentioned it" he mumbled and pointed his wand on my legs, untying them.
Finally, now I can move again.
"Here" he said, reaching for my hand, giving me another chocolate box.
This time I managed to open it and eat the damn frog.
'I wonder who brought these'
"Your friends made sure you wouldn't starve" he said like he had just read my mind. I just nodded while chewing the frog.
