Fred's pov:

I ran out the classroom after y/n but I was too late. She had already fainted and I wasn't the one to catch her. Instead, it was Aiden Peters. He was holding her gently, in a sort of hug-looking position. I walked over to him, "Here, pass her to me,". I held out my arms, waiting so I could take her to the hospital wing.

"No it's fine, I can take her." Aiden replied, lifting her up into his arms.

"I can take her, she'll want me there anyways," It's true, she would want me there. I'm her bestfriend after all and Aiden..well he's just Aiden. He glared at me and then gently dropped her into my arms reluctantly.I carried her all the way to the hospital wing and waited until she awoke.

Readers pov:

I woke up in what seemed to be a hospital bed. I groaned at the whole situation and tried to sit up. "Hey, hey. You're in no rush to get up, you need to rest," Fred softly spoke, pushing me back down.

"Fred, what happened?" I asked him. He looked at me for a few seconds and then asked me what I remembered. "Well.." I thought about it. I didn't want to worry him with the dream, I know he, Lee and George won't leave my side if they know. So instead, I decided to only tell him half the truth, "I just remember fainting and you catching me,". I assumed it was Fred seeing as he was the one here.

"Actually-" he began to speak but Madam Pomfrey cut him off. 

"Oh y/n dear, you're awake. I need to ask you a few questions," she popped herself beside me. "Off you go, Weasley. She'll be okay,". Fred looked at me for reassurance, I nodded and he left.

"So," she began. "I've tested you to see if there was anything wrong and you seem to be fine. You're hydrated and everything looks normal, so tell me.. what do you remember?"

I told her the truth, about having a nightmare, although, I didn't tell her what about. "It seemed so real, like a memory.. Then all I remember is waking up with a sweaty face and tears everywhere. Then i couldn't breathe and I felt hot and then next thing I know, I've fainted and woken up here,".

"Seems like you have a bad case of night terrors which are causing you to faint afterwards. You will probably have more of these episodes.. you should surround yourself with people. You don't want to be fainting and then hitting your head with nobody around." she told me. 

She was right but I couldn't tell the boys.. not yet. They'd treat me like a baby for years! When I had a cold, they wouldn't let me out of their sight and they made me soup every hour! How much soup does a girl need?!

Madam Pomfrey told me a few more things and told me to stay hydrated and to try not to fall asleep in class again, unless I want a repeat of today. She then discharged me from the wing. 

It was now lunch time and I met the boys in the Great Hall for dinner. We were all sat down and they kept asking me if I was okay. Fred must have told them what happened. 

"Are you sure you're okay?" George asked.

"Do you need anything? Medicine? A drink? Anything?" Lee offered.

"Guys.. stop. I appreciate it but I'm fine. Honestly." I told them as convincingly as I could. It wasn't that hard because in all honesty, I felt fine. 

After dinner, the boys and I parted because I needed to get a book from my dorm. On the way back, I bumped into Aiden. "Sorry Aiden!" I sheepishly apologised, noticing he had dropped a few of his books. 

"No, it's okay." He smiled as he picked his things back up. "Anyways, I've been meaning to ask.. how are you? Feeling better?"

I was confused for a moment. "What do you mean?" I questioned. 

"When you fainted earlier.. Are you okay?" he specified, letting me know what he was on about.

"Oh, right. Yes, I'm okay thank you. It was nothing. Who told you anyways?" 

"No one told me.. I'm the one who caught you," he informed me.

"Oh, you was?" I thought it was Fred? "Thank you," 

"Like I told you when I caught you on the train, there's no need to thank me," he smirked, reminding me of the story.

"Oh yes! I remember that," I laughed at the memory. "Well I have to go, but than-"

Before I could finish thanking him, he placed a finger over my lips. "No more thanking me,".

I met the boys in a corridor near our next class and walked straight over to Fred. "Why didn't you tell me it was Aiden who caught me?" I asked him, confused on why he let me think he was my 'saviour'.

He looked dumbfounded at the question and then replied, "I tried but Madam Pomfrey interrupted,".

"You could have told me at dinner.. Or did you want you took look like my 'knight in shining armour'?" I snapped. Honestly, I don't know why I felt it was such a big deal..

"No i-" Fred stopped and thought. "I just didn't remember to tell you, it's not that deep..".

"Is it because you're jealous?" I spurted. Why would you say that?!

"Jealous? What?" Fred looked at me, bewildered. George and Lee looked at me too, shocked and confused. 

"Did you not tell me because you were jealous that you weren't the one to catch me? Did you think I would run off to be his girlfriend for it and forget about you guys?" i said coldly. Why was this coming out of my mouth? Why would Fred be jealous? What the heck?! This made no sense.. I made no sense.

"What are you on about y/n?" Fred looked down at me - dejection, anger and uncertainty filled his eyes.

Fred stormed off, clearly heated up about this. George followed him seconds after as Lee just looked at me, inspecting me to see if I was the same person. He furrowed his eyebrows and then joined the twins. I turned to see a few people had stopped to listen and it only took me a couple seconds to get them to leave..

Why did I say all that? Where did it even come from?
