Fractured ✔️

32.00

I collapsed onto the ground what felt like years later, I could feel blood running down my face, and every breath felt like knives were stabbing my chest.

I spat out another mouthful of blood, and watched as the group of boys retreated. I winced in pain, struggling as I pulled my wand out of my robe pocket, pointing it at Blaise, who sat up immediately.

His eyes darted around the hallway before landing on me. He rushed to his feet, snatching up his wand before, sprinting over to me, almost slipping on the blood splattered across the floor.

"WHAT THE FUCK! ARE YOU OKAY?"

"Never been better." I said shakily.

Blaise's face was contorted in pure rage.

"I'm going to kill those bastards."

I chuckled without meaning to.

"Before you do that, help me up yeah?"

He nodded and looped an arm under my arms and around my chest, heaving me up to my feet.

"Thanks mate." I mumbled

"Don't thank me. I could've stopped them. God I'm such an idiot."

I shook my head.

"Don't be daft. They outnumbered us three to one. Let's just go back to the dorm yeah?"

He muttered a 'Yeah' in reply, and we began to walk back up to common room, with me leaning into his for support.

~~

We arrived at the common room about twenty minutes later, Blaise pushed open the door and helped me inside.

I heard a loud gasp from what I assumed was Hermione, then there was uproar.

People began shouting from all directions, Hermione was trying to calm down Ron who was roaring at Harry. Pansy was crying and Luna was desperately comforting her, Neville rushed over to me with a chair which I gratefully collapsed into.

"QUIT IT!" Yelled Dean from beside me.
The room fell silent once more, and all eyes turned to me.

Harry rushed over, kneeling infront of me with tears of anger in his eyes.

"What the fuck happened?" He spat out violently, I couldn't help but flinch at his harsh tone.

"Nothing. I'm fine don't fuss. It was a misunderstanding." I mumbled.

The room broke out into shouting again, this time aimed at me.

"SHUT UP WILL YOU!" Blaise roared from my other side.

"We were attacked. They knocked me out with a spell and turned on Draco."

"Who." Harry demanded.

"Some Gryffindors in the year below us." I replied in a monotone voice.

I was sick of all the shouting. I just want today to be over already.

"I'm going to bed." I announced amidst the reborn shouting.

"What no you can't."
"Draco you should really go see Madam Pomfrey."
"No we need to go find those Bastards and kill them."
"Yeah Ron's right."
"I'm going to kill them."

"STOP IT!" I shouted, cutting off the rising voices of all those in the room.

"I'm going to bed. Goodnight."

They all stayed silent as I stood up, trying to stifle the groan of pain that threatened to escape my lips.

I walked slowly out of the dorm and down the hall, trying to block out the rising voices that had broken out again.

I pushed open the door to our dormitory, and it swung shut behind me. I pulled my robes off and my jumper over my head, dropping them onto a pile of the floor. I unbuttoned my shirt and dropped it too onto the pile and collapsed onto my bed.

My face throbbed and my ribs ached.

Exactly the way I wanted to spend my evening. I closed my eyes, waiting for sleep to engulf me.
