A/N: So sorry guys! I've just felt so unmotivated to write this story and YouTube is also to blame. I'll try to update faster!

Thalia's POV

"James, I need to tell you something." I feign sadness as I take a seat at the dinner table. James stops twirling the spaghetti noodle around his fork and gives me his attention.

"What is it? What happened? Do I need to punch someone?" His concern quickly turns to anger.

"No, no... It's just..." I sigh dramatically and dig my head in my hands.

"Thals, you can tell me anything." He says softly. I hear him move beside me and put a hand on my back. I almost feel bad for pulling this prank off. Almost.

I peek at him from the side of my hands, "Don't get mad at me."

"I could never be mad at you. Just tell me, please. You're scaring me."

I take in a deep breath. "I got expelled from Beauxbatons."

James was quiet for a few seconds before he laughs, "Thals! Why would I be mad about that? That means you can come to Hogwarts. You don't need to cry." My laughter was silent so he took it for crying. I felt tears fall down my face so why not make this an advantage? I stand up and walk over to the counter and face James. My face was probably red and wet.

"Don't you know that I already knew that? James, Mum and Dad had Dumbledore com here like two days ago." I forced more tears to come and I looked at James.

"So you got Sorted into Gryffindor?" He asked hopefully. I shook my head. "Ravenclaw? Hufflepuff?" He sounds so broke and I want to laugh so bad.

"I'm sorry, James. Please don't hate me." I whisper. James stumbles over his words.

"Thalia, I don't kno-" He was cut off by Sirius.

"Hey, Thals, you got some mail." Sirius says as he bursts into the kitchen. "You okay?"

I laugh and wipe my face. "Yeah, thanks." I say and take the envelope from him. I see Jace's messy handwriting and my heart skips a beat. I didn't whether to be worried or happy. I smile anyways and open it. However, my smile gets quickly wiped away and I start to hyperventilate. Two sentences. That's all that took to forget the prank I was pulling on James. I turn to him with real tears. "You have to take me to St. Mungo's. Right now, please."

"Why?"

"My friend. He's in there and," I slid down to the floor and covered my face with shaky hands. Just then, I hear the front door open.

"Guys! We're home!" Mum's voice called out. I throw a glare at James, who was just standing there with his arms crossed and face set in a scowl, and stand up, rushing to the door.

"Mum," I throw myself at her and sob into her neck.

"Thalia, honey, what's wrong?"

"You have to take me to St. Mungo's. Bryant, he's hurt. Oh my God."

I feel her wrap her arms around me. "Okay, okay, just calm down." I hear her whisper something to Dad but I was too busy trying to hold in my snivels. "Brace yourself, Thalia." She tells me before tightening her hold on me and Apparating us out of there. We end up in an alleyway right next to the hospital. I wordlessly take my mother's hand and walk out and to the hospital. We enter it and I rush to the receptionist.

"Bryant Shawver, please." I all but shout. The witch looked at me and rolled her brown eyes.

"Shawver... Third floor, fifth door on the right." Third floor?

Mum guides me as I stay in my own little coping bubble. How could this have happened? I told him over and over to come here before it got worse. But he was too stubborn to listen to me. And now it may be too late. I swipe at a few tears as a huddle of people came into view. I could just make out Bryant's parents and little sister. I noticed Janice was sitting on the other side of the hallway with her knees pulled up to her chest. Jace was beside her with his arm around her.

Bryant's sister was the first to notice me. She wiped her chubby face and ran towards me, her long brown hair flowing behind her. I hunkered down and let her jump into my arms. I let her cry into my shoulder for a while before handing her off to her mother and going to Janice and Jace. Janice notices me and she stands up, not wasting any time to wrap her arms around me. I bury my head into her shoulder and cried. I felt Jace come up beside us and wrap us up in his arms.

"What happened?" I ask, my voice is muffled.

"We don't know! Jace an I went to see him and he wasn't moving and barely breathing." Janice sobbed out.

"They have top notch Healers in there guys. He'll be fine." Jace reassures us. After a while, we break apart and sit down on the floor. Bryant's sister, Eliza, comes over and squashes herself between Janice and me. I lean my head onto Jace's shoulder and drag a hand down my face to get rid of the tears.

"Do you know who would've done something to him?" Mum asks. Everybody shakes their head.

"The nurse at Beauxbatons." I blurt out. Sure it's an assumption but it's the closest we got. Mum shoots her sharp brown eyes towards me then looks around at the group.

"I'm going to go to the Auror Department and have someone check it out." She walks over and kisses my head.

We all watched her stalk down the corridor, her small fists clenched. "Your mommy's scary." Eliza whispers. I smile slightly.

"Yeah. She is."
