Chapter Five

Nobody Knows and Nobody Sees

Lainie was trying to open her eyes. They were heavy. The sheets around her were crisp and unfamiliar. When she managed to open her eyes she recognized her surroundings as the hospital wing. She had a killing headache and her arms was sore. Madam Pomfrey or Lucille as they called her bustled up to her saying "Thank goodness you woke up, We were starting to worry. Here drink this" she thrust a goblet at her. "The others are asleep at the moment."

"Excuse me" said a very bemused Lainie "Whats the time."

"It's about four a clock in the morning dear. We've been keeping a very close watch on you. Thought you mighn't wake up, dear"

Then Lainie's head started to swim and she went back to sleep.

The next time she woke up she heard voices. She forced her eyes open and saw people talking next to her. She tried to tap one of them on the shoulder but her arm just flopped. Then they turned around.

"Lainie, you're awake." They all exclaimed before they pulled her into a hug. She pulled back and recognized James.

"God, what did you do to get me in here." She joked but James paled.

"Nothing. You were found in the entrance hall." He said quickly

"Okay. Funny. I don't remember anything" She turned around and looked around her. In the next two beds above me she recognized Lily and Livvy's heads.

"Hey guys. What did we do to get here. Don't remember anything do you."

"No" they agreed. Lily had a broken arm and ankle, Livvy's neck was bruised and had stitches. Lainie had a broken ankle too and a black eye.

"Wow, we all messed ourselves up pretty" commented Lainie.

"Yeah, we've got no idea how we did it. I don't remember anything about that night, do you" Lily said in a puzzled voice. They were all still thinking about it.

Over the next few days they all rapidly recovered. Their bedside tables were covered in get well cards and chocolate. They were ready to leave the hospital wing on Thursday.

They walked back through the school till they got to the Gryffindor tower. When they entered the common room they all sat down on the couch. They were all still wondering about what had happened to them.

They went up to their room in the top of the tower. Silently the changed into their pyjamas, and then the all sat on Lily's bed.

"I can't remember anything about that night. Can you."

"Neither, lets just forget about it."

They all climbed into bed and curled up in their duvets. The only sound was the buzzing of Lainie's headphones.
