Pt. 18

"Start from the beginning," I slowly brought our hands back down so she wouldn't have any distractions.

"Ok," she paused and took in a deep breath. "Weewee came to me with an idea she read in a book. Mind Gas, it's something that can control others without them knowing it. I asked her why she wanted to use it but she wouldn't tell me, just asked me to help her. It was only supposed to be Granger but then you died. She saw what power she had and after she axed Hermoine she decided to do more.

"Before she could, I told her to stop," she was in tears now, "that she was hurting innocent people. That was when she forced some red colored pills down my throat. I guess it wasn't enough to kill me however because I found myself in a coma. A coma is a weird thing, you're looking at your body but no one- absolutely no one can see you. Not even other coma patients.

"An hour or so ago she came to me. She looked side to side to make sure no one was there before-" she cut off with a burst of sorrow coming from her eyes. I realize that she's not a child, she's just hurt. All of her previous actions make sense. She's seen true evil and she clashed with it like water and oil.

"It's ok," I hugged her. I can't believe what I'm becoming. I'm. soft? Comforting. It's strange, these past weeks I've turned into people's best friend and shrink. It's been petrifying really, but with Cho I'm not scared. I'm brave.

"She." her voice trailed off on that word for a minute or so before she got back on track. "She put a-a pillow. over my head. I couldn't breathe. and now I'm here."

"Cho, I have to know," I moved my head so it was aligned with hers. "Who is Weewee?"

"Ginny," she remarked sheepishly, "Ginny Wee-Weasley."
