Chapter 16 - Bulger Bruises

Quidditch. Quidditch is already a risky game because you're flying around on sticks, with balls flying at you from every angle. Ravenclaw lost to the Slytherins, so the Slytherins are going to play against Gryffindor. I showed up late to see my Ex-boyfriend knocked unconscious by a bludger, and fall 50 feet from the ground off his broom. Yeah...not a good day. I mean at least Gryffindor won, Right?!

I was debating whether I should go lay beside George in the Hospital wing but I thought better of it and just sat beside him the interior time. He was unconscious for a week. I canceled all the extra things I planned to do after school, so I could sit alongside the bruised body of George. It made me feel a bit better to be with him. I fell asleep on Sunday night In a chair with my History of magic book in my lap and my glasses askew. "Nina? Is that you, Darling?" came a rasping voice, I opened my eyes in alarm and sat up quickly. George looked startled, " Darling, I'm sorry I didn't mean to wake you." "No, it's ok...Wait! George, why the Hell is it always you?!" I snapped. George looked down at the bed, "What? Oh well-" I cut him off, "I sat up here for A week! A week George! Not only that I was worried." I quivered putting my hand over my eyes. " You? Worried? Nah..you must be joking..." he chuckled. He looked up and realized the look of seriousness on my face. "Sorry Love," He replayed, gently grabbing my hand and placing it near his heart. He Started " And I'm also sorry abo-" "Don't you dare say her name.." I begged. " I forgive you, I miss having you around. I really do, but If you're With...with." I found myself struggling to say her name. Angelina..." It won't happen, I promise. Now come lay down next to me, you look exhausted." George said gesturing towards the space he left next to him on the bed. When I climbed in there was a light feeling that spread through my body as if I was carrying a huge weight on my shoulders, and It had just been lifted. " I don't think you know how jealous I am of Dean Thomas, I really wanted him dead for a bit there," George admitted pulling a piece of hair behind my ear. " Did you really?" I giggled. "Yes, to the point where Mel and I dumped a full bucket of paint on his head the other day," he said chuckling but then grabbed his side as if in pain. I curled up surrounded by his embrace and the sound of his heartbeat as I drifted off to sleep.

" Love, will you come and see me later?" George asked. "Of course I will but first I have to go comfort Hagrid, BuckBeack is Getting sentences to death. I have to be there to support Hagrid." I said sadly. "Sounds like a Rough day, Well I'll be here when you need me, Love." He said, looking at the clock on the wall. " You need to go, Darling, I'll see you later," he called after me.

I sprinted down the slopes to Hagrid's Cabin as fast as my legs could carry me when I heard Draco's Voice. " Ah come to see the show?" he chuckled and a few seconds later Hermionie had punched him and Draco was now running away past me and towards the castle. Hagrid was in an Awful state and before long he pushed us out the door in a rush as the ministry officials made their way down the Slope to Hagrid's cabin. " Harry, I have to go see George," I whispered. "Ok, we'll meet you up there," Harry answered.

" George? Love?" I looked behind the curtain of white around his bed. "Sorry, I was changing my bandages. I'll be right-" he stood up. He had many deep cuts along his upper torso. "Love, you're so pale, are you ok? Was It BuckBeak?" He asked urgently, stepping closer to me. "Yeah, I'm Fine. The real question is are you ok?" I asked, raising my arm to cup his face. "Yes, I'm wonderful. I had words with Fred About us, he said he was fine with it, but even if he wasn't I wouldn't care," he said grabbing me and holding me close by the small of my back. "Nina?!" called a voice. "OH my God. It's my Uncle. get dressed." I rasped. "I'm Here Remus!" I said walking out of the curtains. "Where's Harry?!" Uncle Remus asked, looking frantic. He was at Hagrid's with Hermione and Ron. WAIT?" I said leaning closer to My Uncle. "Where's Sirius? Is he ok?" I whispered nervously. Uncle Remus gave me a look of fear. I had written to my Uncle over Christmas about Sirius being an animagus, but he didn't seem surprised at this information. Although he was furious with me for leaving the Burrow, he was interested in Sirius. He asked me how Sirius was doing, what he looked like and things like that, My Uncle also told me not to tell my brother so I listened, "Stay Here, and If you leave, you will be at risk. And you know what I'm talking about, Athena." My uncle said gesturing outside. Then he rushed out the door without another word. "Hey, love? Can you help me wrap this?" George called from the curtains. "Yeah.." I answered opening the curtains. "I'm sure your brother will be fine..." he whispered as I forearm. " I'm not so sure. It's dangerous left and right for him." I chuckled, tightening the bandage and tieing it. "NINA?! I know you're with George where's My-I mean where's Harry?" Melanie Asked marching into the Hospital Wing. There was a sharp pain that burned along my neck like a hot knife had been pressed to it. It hissed in pain. " Somethings wrong...I need to stay here George. Mel follow me..." After the words escaped my lips I transformed into the red wolf I was known for and sprinted out of the room with Melanie close behind.
