Haylie Elizabeth Potter

Chapter 11

*Fred's POV*

I was about to respond to George when there was a scream coming from the hospital wing. George and I shared a quick glance then we ran back into the room. Haylie lay there on the bed writhing around like she was in pain or trying to get away from something or someone. Madam Pomfrey rushed over and started taking her temperature and things like that. George took Haylie's hand while I took her other and stroked her hair trying to calm her down. she looked at us but couldn't see us. There was no recognition in her eyes and her eyes were wild and scared.

"Her temperature is at 103 and rising fast. No potion I give her can stop it." Madam Pomfrey said sounding worried. "I have already sent for the Headmaster, he will be here shortly. I have also called your siblings here." George and I nodded our thanks. Percy and Charlie showed up shortly after we were given the news and Dumbledore arrived not a minute after them.

"She is in need of major  medical assistance." Dumbledore said "We will see what Professor Snape can do to hold her till we can get her to St. Mungo's."

George and I looked up as the doors banged open. In walked Snape . He rushed over telling us all to move back. When I moved to take a step back he stopped me. "You will need to keep her calm She wont let me near her in this state its a miracle that you were able to touch her." he said in his everlasting bored voice.

I stayed at Haylie's side and continued to stroke her hair. Snape approached her and she began to struggle more. It was almost as if you couldn't move from the spot like she was pinned down but her arms and legs still worked. "Forgive me." I whispered in her ear as I grabbed both her hands and pinned them above her head with one of my own. I continued to stroke her hair her head continued to get hotter and hotter the longer she lay there.

I watched as Snape worked he poured a potion in Haylies mouth causing her to choke a bit but she recovered from it quickly. She stopped struggling so much and just ley there whimpering like she was in pain. I looked to him as I released her hands from where I had pinned them. "What's wrong with her?" I dared to ask him the question we all wanted the answer to.

"When she hit her head it made her vulnerable. When she took the potion it didn't eliminate dreams so she was probably having one of her flash backs and she probably hit her head again while she was flailing around causing her head to hurt worse and her body temperature to rise swiftly. I have slowed the rise of her body temperature temporarily and as a result she has less energy. I cant risk putting her back to sleep with a potion because it could cause worse damage to occur." He said  looking up at Professor Dumbledore who nodded. Snape took it as a dismissal and walked out of the hospital wing.

We waited for about an hour before the medics arrived from St. Mungo's. Charlie, Percy, George and I were then aperated home by Dumbledore who explained everything to Mum. Mum then rushed us along with Ron and Ginny to St. Mungo's to be with Haylie. Dumbledore said that we could stay home till the holidays were over to be with her.

Haylie was awake the next day. She had a bruise on her head but it was quickly covered with a bandage. Mum and the other kids had left so it was just Haylie, George, and I. George wondered off for a few minutes leaving me alone with Haylie. "You really scared me last night." I said sitting on the edge of her bed.

"What even happened?" She asked weakly.

"You screamed and started thrashing everywhere and your body temperature was rising. Snape stopped that from happening but to get him anywhere near you I had to pin your hands. After he gave you the potion you stopped moving and sat there whimpering. Your eyes were wild and scared." I explained last night to her.

She nodded slightly wincing a bit at the movement. "You should rest." I told her.

"Will you come see me again when I am awake?" She asked immediately.

I smiled at her "Send for me and I will come." She nodded slightly again then closed her eyes and went to sleep. "I love you." I said the words quietly testing them out then kissed her head and stood up and went to find George so we could go home. Neither one of us had slept since we had left school the night before. My shoulder didn't hurt anymore and the marks around my throat had disappeared along with the discomfort.
