"HURT?"

"Good morning Madam Pomfrey!" said Alice as cheerfully as she could. It had been three days, Ron still hadn't woken up properly and Hermione and Harry were still avoiding her. "How's Ron?"
"The usual, he's expected to wake up soon" Madam Pomfrey smiled weakly. "Why don't you head in, he hasn't had company all morning"
Alice wanted to see him, she wanted to be there when he woke up, but she knew as long as Harry and Hermione were mad at her, she had to steer clear from Ron.
"Thanks Madam Pomfrey" she said, gloomily "But I should be going, I've got class soon"
"But it's Saturday"
Alice didn't reply. She was already opening the Hospital Wing doors. Harry and Hermione still hasn't spoken to her, although she tried multiple times, she was always greeted with icy glares as they brushed past her in disgust.
They'd hate me more if Itoldthemthetruth.
Alice was used to being alone. She was alone most of her life. Soon she'd forget about the trio, the friendships, the laughter, soon it would be like it never happened.
She headed into the library, to drown herself in the selves of books, hoping to block out reality for a while, wishing she could disappear.
Alice took her usual table, Quidditch Through the Ages in her hands.
"Morning Alice"
Alice looked up, pulling the hair behind her ears, to see Neville Longbottom standing in front of her, smiling. "Can I sit?"
"Sure" she answered quietly. Neville dragged the wooden chair out from under the table and sat down, pulling out his Transfiguration book.
"Are you coming to the Quidditch match?" he asked. "You can sit with Luna and I?"
Alice gave a small smile. "Thanks, but I'm alright"
"Is this about Hermione and Harry?"
Alice looked up quickly at the Gryffindor across from her, and gulped. "You know about that?"
"Would travels fast Alice" he said. "It's all everyone's talking about" The words were out before he could stop them.
"Everyone knows?" Alice asked, her voice shaking and Neville nodded slowly. "Great. Just great"
Neville sighed. There were many rumours about the small girl, about her true identity, about Ron and he knew she didn't deserve it.
"Why are sitting with me?" she asked suddenly. "If your here to blame me, taunt me, ask questions or anything else, leave now" Her expression changed, pain and anger shown in her eyes.
