Wood was stunned by all of this. He thought to himself, "Me? Break up with Mina, not in this lifetime." He had really fallen in love with her the moment he met her. He wouldn't give her up, not even for playing Keeper for the best Quidditch team. She meant too much to him. As he popped back into reality, he said, "Could you please let me go? Please...??? I want to go see her. I want to know if she's alright." Just then, Jeremy popped into the room in a rush. He had been in the Hospital wing talking to an unconscious Mina. If he hadn't met Mina, he wouldn't have met Alicia. When he rushed in he said, "We have to hurry. Madam Pomfrey said she might not make it, she might die today. Soon." Oliver jumped out of the chair, pushed his way past the group and ran to the hospital wing as the others followed.

He rushed through the doors and ran to her bed. She had gone so pale. He looked at her and said, "I don't know what I've done my dear, but please come back. You can't leave me. If you leave, I'm going to go with you. You are the only one I would ever love. I'd never be able to find anyone to replace you." He started to cry. Oliver never cried, ever. He looked at her pleadingly while Fred held Katie, George held Angelina and Jeremy held Alicia closely.

I heard his words, but I thought, "What if they're false?" But somewhere in the back of my mind, a voice said, "You have nothing to lose, unless you want to die not knowing what the truth is? And I know you, my dear, that you wouldn't like to die an unjustified death." I thought about what I just heard and was slowly waking up.

I slowly opened my eyes to a tear-stain faced Oliver. I said, "You regretted going out with me. You regretted being with me. You regretted loving me." He stared at me and said, "I don't know what I was on, but I never ever will regret going out with you. I never ever will regret being with you. And I would never ever, ever regret loving you. Not for all the Galleons in the world." I gave him a weak smile when he just hugged me and held me in his arms.

As he held me in his arms, I felt my strength go and collapsed. Katie, Angelina and Alicia broke into tears as Fred ran to get Madam Pomfrey. Madam Pomfrey made them all wait outside while she took care of me. I had some purple and blue looking medicine that Madam Pomfrey said would make me feel better. She told me to get some sleep, and that she would tell everyone outside I was fine. I smiled and said, "Thank you," as I lay on my pillow and drifted to sleep.
