Chapter 20 - The Office

A groan slips past my lips when a bright light decided to hit my closed eye lids causing me to roll on to my side as I go to pull my blanket over my head only for it to be ripped out of my hands while the sounds of an excited squeal hit my ears.

"Daisy! Daisy! Your okay!" I heard someone yelling out my name as I was patting around my bed with my eyes closed, looking for my blanket without sitting up.

I let out a sigh when I couldn't find it before forcing my eyes to open. Only to be staring into a pair of green and blue eyes.

I blinked as I see Marlene's grinning face while Lily's face held a small smile while there eyes seemed to be shinning with relief.

I push myself to sit up, wincing slightly at the sharp pain that zipped through my chest as I sit up before observing my surroundings, only to find out that I was in the Hospital Wing.

"W-what happend?" I asked as I rub my eyes, wishing that I could go back to sleep.

The two girls turn to face each other before looking back at me. Worry was etched onto there faces as they stare at me which only caused me to raise an eyebrow.

"Daisy, your in the hospital wing because you almost drowned in the Black Lake." Lily tells me softly.

I blinked before nodding, remembering how I was confronted by Regulus and his friends and ended up getting pushed into the water.

"Why were you in the lake in the first place, Daisy?" Lily asked me.

I blinked, mainly in surprised as I had excepted that they would know. "I-I got pushed into the water." I answered before adding on quickly. "But I don't know who it was that pushed me through as my back was facing them." I lie without a second thought as I stare back at the two girls.

I didn't want to cause a fuss which was I didn't say anything about Ragulus and his friends. I doubt that they were planning on drowning me. They probably assumed I knew how to swim when I didn't.

This brought both girls to let out a breathe of relief which caused me to rsise an eyebrow in confusion. "Oh good, I was afraid for a second there that you threw yourself in the lake yourself." Lily tells me as she places a hand on to her chest.

I stare at them in shock before shaking my head. "Honestly, I would have perfered it if you haven't saved me as I wish to go to sleep and never wake up." I tell them both in a cold voice.

"We didn't save you." Lily tells me as I watch her face become a bit pale at my words while Marlene grimace.

I stare at them as crossed my arms over my chest. "Then who was it that saved me?" I asked them as I begin chewing my lip, enough where I even tear the skin.

They both shrug which only leaves me to let out a groan of annoyance before falling back onto my bed.

"We never asked and so we were never told. We weren't there to see it happen Daisy. We only knew you were here because someone told us you were here so we came here as soon as we could." Lily tells me.

A grin then suddenly appears on Marlene's face. "But what I do know is that we need to get you to reconsider wanting to sleep all the time and the best way to do that is to distract you since you don't want to talk about whats keeping you down." Marlene.

"How? I've been trying to for months so please enlighten me on whatever idea you got." I asked.

"That's simple."

.o0o.

"How are you feeling Miss Snow?" The headmaster asked me as I sat in a chair in front of him.

"I'm alright." I tell him.

I watch as he leans forward onto his desk. "Are you sure?" He asked.

I nod. "Yes, I am fine. There doesn't appear to be any permanent side effects from the near drowning incident." I tell him softly.

"I asking if you were alright mentally and emotionally, Miss Snow." Headmaster Dumbledore tells me.

I nod. "I'm fine there to." I tell him. "Marlene and Lily have been great help in that aspect. Marlene even told me that she has a great of how to distract me from problems. She said she was going to show me her idea later. I worry through, Marlene has been known to come with crazy idea before, I just hope it doesn't have anything to do with any balloons this time." I tell him.

The man with long beard nods as he smiles at me. "That's good to hear, now, on to other matters. Do you know who pushed you into Lake? Lily and Marlene both said that didn't see it happened and not only that but they said that you didn't either, i wanted to if that was true."

I nod. "Yes, it's true, they weren't there when it happened and I didn't see who did it. What I want to know through is who saved me." I tell the man as I look up from my hand.

"I apologize Miss Snow, but he requested to stay anonymous for his own personal reasons so I can't release such information." The headmaster tells me.

I nod as I look back down at my hands. "I understand." I tell him.

So the person that saved me was a him.That's not much I can go on.

I just shook my head the thoughts.

If the guy doesn't want me to then I should respect he choice.

The sound of my chair scrapping against the floor could heard as I push myself up onto my feet. "If that's all you wanted to speak to me about, then I shall take my leave." I tell him before turninf around to leave.

"Just one more thing Miss Snow," I stopped at the Professor's voice. "While you didn't see who pushed you, your savior and few others did. They said they sae Regulus Black and his friends confronted you and spoke with you before on of Mr.Black's friends pushed you into the lake. Is there anything you wish yo say to that, Miss Snow?" The headmaster asked as I could have sworn I saw his twinkling.

"I didn't see anyone push and I don't recall talking to Mr.Black that day." I tell him as stare him straight in the eye with a frown on my face.

Don't make a sound.Don't cause a fuss.Don't give an reaction.And they will all leave you alone.

The headmaster then nods his head. "You are free to go." He tells me.

I nod before turning away from him and leave the office.

A soft sigh left my lips as I left the office.

A part of me wishing that I had told the truth instead of lying as something told me that this was going to backfire on me.

It didn't matter through. Cause no matter how hard I try, everything, one point or another, always backfires.
