Disclaimer: I'm running out of different ideas to put here. How's this? I do not own JKR's HP characters, and do not have enough money to buy them. If I did, I doubt I would be writing this story for you. So sorry! .::WiNk::.

Over the next few hours Avril slept on and off. When she couldn't seem to get comfortable, Madam Pomfrey told her that she should try walking.

"I can barely sit up and you want me to walk? You are crazy woman!" Avril said, and then was reprimanded for talking like that to a teacher. So until Cedric returned, she was stuck there.

When the bell rang, Avril waited for Cedric impatiently ((big word...hehehe)), but he never came. Instead, a girl with frizzy brown hair came. She smiled brightly when she saw Avril awake.

"I'm glad to see your okay." She said to Avril. "You saved me and I never got to thank you." Avril looked confused. "You don't remember do you?" the girl asked. Avril shook her head. "Well this might take awhile." The girl finished.

"Oh don't worry." Avril reassured ((big word)) her. "I have all day." The girl smiled. "And if you don't mind, I think you might need to introduce yourself." Avril added.

"I'm Hermione Granger." She said. "Now then. What do you remember?" Hermione asked.

"Well, I remember fixing my hair, and then a girl came out of stall crying. That was you wasn't it!" Avril said. Hermione smiled and nodded.

"Yes! And then you asked me what was wrong and before I could reply-"

"A troll came in! I remember now! I shoved you onto the floor in a stall and told you to crawl to the last stall and hide in the corner. And then.....and then....." Avril couldn't remember any more.

"You tried to take on the troll yourself, but he got you with his club before you even stood up." Hermione looked down onto her lap. They sat in silence for a minute. Avril tried to say something else but Madame Pomfrey came rushing over and shoved some purple liquid down Avril's throat.

"What was that for?" Avril demanded.

"If you want to join your friends for dinner, you're going to have to cooperate with me." Madame Pomfrey said to Avril. Hermione chuckled. Avril rolled her eyes.

"So, Hermione." Avril started. "Are we in trouble by any chance?" she asked.

"No, well you aren't. Just as you hit the wall my friends, Harry and Ron, came in and knocked the troll out. Then some professors came in. When they saw they were furious with all of us. Luckily, only I had a point deduction, and when I told them that if it weren't for you I would be dead." Hermione smiled weakly.

"But why did you lie? I was the stupid one and tried to take on the troll. If it weren't for your friends I'd be dead." Avril managed to prop herself up on her elbows. Her stomach didn't hurt so much anymore.

"Yea well, I couldn't let Hogwarts' *Golden Girl* get in trouble, now could I?" Hermione said.

"You damn well could have!" Avril shouted. Hermione hushed her and they giggled slightly at Avril's reaction.

"I wouldn't be surprised if there is already a trophy being polished with your name on it." Hermione laughed. Avril's smile faded.

"Oh hell I hope not." Avril said. Hermione noticed the change in her mood and decided it was time to go to lunch.

"Well, I have to go." She said. Then she got up and ran out the door.

"Bye." Avril said to no one. 'Just what I need. Another recognition." Avril thought. She knew she didn't deserve it, and she didn't want it. Her life wasn't all sparkle and sunshine. Having her dad being in Azkaban and all. She had no clue to her past, just that Lupin is her guardian, and that every full moon he turned into a werewolf. Life wasn't easy for her.

At dinnertime, Avril managed to limp into the hall with the help on Cedric, but was back in the hospital wing for bed after the potion wore off and she had pain in her body once again. Cedric kissed her goodnight and then started for the door.

"Cedric!" Avril called after him. He turned to look at her. "I need to write a letter to someone."

"Hell Aves, it's late. Can't you do it in the morning?" Cedric asked sleepily.

"No! I have to do it now! Help me to the owlery!" Avril pulled herself out of bed and hobbled to the door. Cedric put an arm around her and hurried to the owlery. He pulled some parchment and a quill out of his schoolbag. Angel, Avril's owl, flew over to her. She scribbled down everything that had happened on the paper.

"Take this to Remus, Angel. He probably already knows but go!" Avril tied the letter to her leg and Angel flew away into the moonless night. When Avril realized this she tried to call Angel back. "Angel come back! There's no moon! Oh I hope she'll be okay." She told a rather puzzled Cedric. I'll tell you about it later. I'm tired." And then they walked back to the Hufflepuff common room. Avril knew she would never get sleep in the hospital beds.

Silently she crept into her dorm and into her bed. It felt all warm and just as she lay her head on the pillow, she fell asleep.
