I woke up, blinking slowly, trying to adjust to the bright light. As I tried to sit up, my head began to throb, so I instantly lay back down. "Careful Ms Lupin-Black. That was a nasty bump." I turned to see Madame Pomfery standing over me, fussing over my sheets. "Bump?" I asked confused. "Yes dear. After you passed out, you hit your head on one of the trunks in your dorm. Bit of a concussion. Nothing too serious. Nothing a quick potion wont fix. I couldn't give it to you while you were unconscious of course." She handed me the swirling blue potion and I downed it in one, feeling instantly better. 

"I'll let your friends in now that your awake." she said as she walked over to the big double doors that were the entrance to the hospital wing. I sat up, looking at my surroundings. I was in the bed furthest from the door on the left. All the others were empty. 

Suddenly, Fred, George and Lee burst into the hospital wing and ran towards my bed. The twins both hurriedly sat by my bedside, and began fussing over me. "Are you okay y/n?" "Madame Pomfery said you had a concussion." They all began talking at me very quickly, none of them actually giving me the chance to respond. "I'm fine boys. Really." They all looked relieved, slumping back in their seats. "Where, um, where's Cedric?" I asked, trying not to sound disappointed. "He came when you were first brought in, but said something about being busy and left one he knew you were okay." George said, wary of making me upset. "Oh." was all I could manage to say. I looked down at my hands which were in my lap. He was probably just busy with that Snape essay he hadn't finished yet. Yes that was it. Must be...

I looked back up at my friends and smiled. They seemed to be relieved and let go of the tension they were holding. I then became confused. "Why were you so scared of what my reaction would be?" The all looked at each other, almost frightened. "Um well, when you um. When you go angry before, at Angelina I mean, something happened..."

Flashback *Katie's POV*

"He can't like me Katie. You've seen the way he looks at y/n, the only reason I think he asked me out was because she's going out with Diggory. Surely you can see that."  Angelina looked imploringly at me. I knew she had fancied Fred for ages, and was trying to justify, mostly to herself, why she had said no. "I do see what you mean, but he did still ask you Angie." 

Suddenly the door burst open and y/n stormed in looking extremely angry. "Why did you say no Angelina?" she yelled angrily. 

"W-w-what?" Angelina stammered.  

"To Fred. Why did you say no when he asked you out?!"

Angelina looked scared, "I-I-I, I don't feel ready to start dating yet, I feel like I'm t-too young."

"What happened to the girl who told me, not last week, that she had had a crush on Fred since the beginning on first year?"

I stood up, and stood right in front of her. "What is your problem?"

Her eyes went scarlet as she screamed, "My problem? MY PROBLEM?!"

I stepped back, terrified as she passed out, hitting her head on the trunk as she fell. 

I hesitated for a moment for kneeling by her side and turning her over with the help of Angelina. "Y/n? Y/n can you hear me?" 

"She's out cold." "Yes. Angie, help me get her downstairs." We lifted her up and awkwardly carried her down the stairs. Once we reached reached the common room, we were greeted by the twins and Lee. "Oh my god Y/n? What happened Katie? Angelina?" 

"Help us get her to the hospital wing and we'll tell you on the way." I said. Lee, bring the smartest out of us apparently, got his wand out and muttered a quick levitation charm and we all began to walk out the portrait hole and down the corridors. As we did I filled in the other three on what happened from when she walked in to when we met them in the common room. 

"Her eyes, they went red?" 

"They were more, scarlet."
