Agh stop, the cuteness.
Sorry for the terrible, awful, evil updating. I'm not going to say I'll do better cause that will probably be a lie, but I got and inspiration so here's the next chapter. I hope you guys like it! I also hope I haven't lost a whole bunch of readers, thank you to those who have stuck with me! And thanks for the votes/comments on the last chapter!

Blonde hair, drooping into gray-blue eyes. Like a swirling ocean on a clouded day. And then I'm falling, falling, falling into them.

I shoot into a sitting position, my dream still clinging to me desperately. Only when I lie back into pillows am I able to shake it off and take in my surroundings. I'm lying in a bed in the hospital wing, and outside I can see rain pouring down in sheets. I suddenly remember McGonagall ordering Albus to take me down here. Something about shock.

I don't know why I still haven't told anyone about seeing him there, with blood on his hands. Maybe it's because I can't stop thinking about his stupid face, his stupid blue-gray eyes, his stupid white blonde hair, his stupid stupid stupid lips.

I saw him. I saw him, but I keep wishing and wishing and wishing I hadn't, and I think I'm starting to believe it.

What happened last night? Were those people death eaters? And if so what do they think they are doing? Voldemort is gone, never coming back, what do they think will happen if they start their old work? Do they think they'll attract a leader? Or do they already have one?

And what was Scorpius doing with them? What about the blood? But his face, he looked at me as if he knew what I was thinking. And knew that I couldn't believe he would do something like this. Well he knows me too well, because I can't.

God I wish I had asked him what was going on in those few second between darkness, instead of wasting time threatening him. How could I have been so stupid? I need to talk to him, I need to find him.

"Ah, you're awake." Madame Pomfry bustles to the edge of my bed. "Here, take this." She hands me a steaming cup of something, and when I look inside I see a reddish brown liquid, almost like apple cider, but smelling distinctly of black licorice. I take a sip, and the stuff tastes just like it smells, weird.

"For shock." Madame Pomfry says. "I'm sure you had quite a scare last night." I nod without speaking. "It's a good thing Professor McGonagall is sending everyone home, it's not safe at Hogwarts anymore." She sighs.

I almost choke on my strange drink. "Wha-what?" I sputter.

"The Headmistress, she-" but she is cut off by the bang of the hospital wing doors.

"Rose!" Alex runs to my bed.

"What's going on?" I scramble out of bed, ignoring the fact that I'm wearing nothing but a nightgown.

"Come on." Alex runs out of the room, me close on his heels, even as Madame Pomfry shouts after us.

"Alex, what-" but I stop. We've come to the entrance hall, and stumbled across complete chaos. Students are running around the room in a panick, trying to find friends or siblings, and then all attempting to get out of the great double doors at once.

Through the crowd I see a long mane of fiery hair and fight my way to Lily, who is standing with Hugo and Albus, all looking around worriedly.

"You guys, what's going on?"
