First of all, I didn't want to put where Katie talks to Alicia but I just did because I'm trying to show how "sister-like" Katie and Alicia are. And besides, it would be evil if your bestest-test-test friend doesn't visit you when you're sick. :P
Disclaimer and for all the other chapters: I don't own Harry Potter
For the reviewers: THANKS! Haha. You still put a smile on my face. Hayy... streetdancing classes has ended... but I'm hoping I'll take in July, but for now, I REALLY have to concentrate on my studies. I do NEED to get an honor this year, so I might be busy. I won't be the only one busy, also wonka-tonk, totally left out and LPLC we're batchmates eh, hahaha.
Quidditch Game
The game was getting intense, the Ravenclaws were playing well!
"Johnson has scored a goal!" Lee announced. The Quaffle was on my hand and I threw it on one of the goals.
"Spinnet misses," Lee announced again. There was a groan on the crowd, except the Ravenclaws. Their cheering was deafening! I got the Quaffle back on my hand.
"Here, Licia!" Angelina exclaimed. I threw it to Katie, she got it and scored. That was a code that we used every game. For example Katie has the Quaffle, and I want her to pass it to me, I tell her to pass it to Angelina, making the players think that she's passing it to her.
Suddenly, there was a great cheer on the crowd, not from the Ravenclaws, but from the Gryffindors!
"Potter got the Snitch, Gryffindor wins!" he exclaimed. I could see Professor McGonagall very happy in tears! We finally have our chance to get the Quidditch Cup! I was so happy, I wanted to cry myself. I then turned to look at Katie; she was waving her hands in the air, showing her expression of joy. Angelina was cheering with the Gryffindors! Oliver was tearing up. And Fred was smiling and did a hi-five with George. I looked at George, he saw me, but he wasn't smiling. I felt bad, why can't he just forgive me?
Then, WHAM! Black out, the cheers of the crowd deafened, and all I heard was a scream of my name.
George's Point Of View
I saw her look at me, with a smile on her face. But I didn't smile back, I was mad at her for being so pathetic. I heard she was over with that Sam guy, I guess she knew what she had done wrong. But I was still mad at her. She just went for Sam just to forget me, to forget me that I did love her. That kiss, that smile whenever she was near him, I knew they were all not real. I knew she knew. Why didn't she just let him go sooner? That's why I was mad at her… for being so pathetic.
I saw her smile drop and turned away, I guess the way I looked at her affected her a bit. I was guilty yet mad.
WHAM!
Before my eyes, I saw a bludger hit her right on the head! I saw her fall off her broom, eyes closed, and her nose was bleeding due to the bludger's hit. The bludger was still on loose, and obviously hit Alicia's head. Oh why oh why does this have to happen? A pang of guilt hit me. I just remembered what I shouted to Alicia before…
I just hope a bludger takes you on the head
I saw Alicia got taken to the Hospital Wing for treatment. The game was over, we won, we have a chance to win the cup, and now one of our players was down. After the game, I ran to the Hospital Wing, I had to see Alicia. The others followed.
I saw her laying there, she was still beautiful as ever, but she seemed lifeless.
"Is she okay?" Katie asked.
"She'll be well but she'll be asleep for a few days," Madam Promfrey said, "Now you may go."
"No, we need to stay," we all said. Madam Promfrey groaned and went off.
A few hours later
"Guys, you leave, I need to stay," I forced in. I needed to be there with Alicia. They understood and left. Madam Promfrey came in from her office and saw me.
"Mr. Weasley, it's late and you should head back up," she said.
"Can I stay, please?" I begged. Madam Promfrey rolled her eyes.
"Only in two conditions, one is that there should only be one visitor at this time, and number two, clean up, there's sweat all over you," she said pointing at me. I haven't cleaned up ever since the game. I nodded and understood. I went up to my room and took a nice, quick shower. After that, I dressed up, got a blanket and headed back to the Hospital Wing. I took a seat beside Alicia's bed, and placed the blanket around me to keep warm. I held her hand, it was warm. Then, I slowly fell asleep.
Sunday
I was still on the Hospital Wing, sometimes Fred, Katie, Angelina or Oliver came to give me food. Like during breakfast, I didn't want to go to the Great Hall to eat, so Fred brought me some food. During lunch, it was from Katie and Angelina, and then in dinner, it was from Oliver. Of course I got out from time to time, but I mostly came back to check on Alicia. I remembered the time when the bludger hit me, but I got better easily because it wasn't as worse as Alicia's.
Alicia was still asleep, and healing at the same time. She still breathed, but she didn't move an inch. She lay still, looking lifeless.
Monday
There was school then, and I was out most of the day. But Madam Promfrey said she was still the same as yesterday. I still slept on the Hospital Wing then; I just wanted to be there when Alicia wakes up. I felt so guilty after shouting at her and being too stubborn. I acted like a kid again.
"Hey," Katie said while coming in the Hospital Wing.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" I asked.
"Maybe you need to take a break, besides you have homework on Potions and you haven't even done an inch," she said.
"But I have to-"
"Skip that homework, you'll get detention, and you might not even be here longer," she explained. I got her point.
"What about you?"
"I'm done, I'll stay with Alicia. She's been my best friend for so long and for the past weeks, I guess I wasn't really acting on how I was supposed to be," she explained.
"Guilty mode?" I asked.
"Yeah," she nodded.
"Same here," I said, "I'll go already, just tell me if anything happens, okay?"
"Sure," she answered back. I walked off to the Gryffindor Dormitories so I could get on with my homework.
Katie's POV
I saw George leave; I guess I was alone then. I looked at Alicia, I grew scared. That bludger would've taken her life, but it was a good thing she had a chance to live.
"Alicia," I began, "first of all I would want to say I'm sorry."
I sighed and continued on, "I know I wasn't a good friend for the past weeks, I should've listened to you. I should've been at least supportive…"
I began to cry; "Now you got me all worried. Why did this have to happen? You know, I find this pathetic…"
I began to laugh, "…I'm crying and you're not going to die. I don't even think you're listening to me!"
I laughed while I sobbed.
"Remember about my sister, Elaine? The one who died in the accident, well, you are like her. Except that you didn't die," Katie said, "Well, every time she was sick, I was would be worried about her. And then, she was okay. Until one morning, she walked to the street and got hit by a car. When I see you, I see her, lying on the bed…"
"…it scares me…" I continued on, "…you were just like Elaine. Elaine died when I was 10, she was 6. Then when I finally went to Hogwarts, I met you…"
I began to sob, "…you were so like her, so happy and friendly yet so quiet…"
"I don't want to see another sister be hurt again…" I muttered. I wiped my tears and fell asleep on my seat.
Tuesday
George's POV
"Katie, you look like a mess," I said. Katie just laughed.
"I just had a talk with Alicia, and I ended up crying," She laughed, "You know the happiest of people do can cry."
"Elaine?" I asked. Katie nodded.
"Yeah… she would be around 3rd year with Harry," she sighed, "Come on, we'll be late for classes."
I nodded and went to Herbology while she went to Transfiguration. Once all my classes were done, I went straight to the library to do my homework. Fred was with Angelina then, so I was alone. After 3 hours, I was done and went back to the Hospital Wing. I saw Alicia, still on the same position as before.
I sat beside her and placed the blanket around me as I did the other night. I suddenly heard her speak.
"…George…" she muttered, "…sorry… I love you…"
I smiled, "I love you too… I forgive you…"
"…Where is he?" she muttered again. I got the idea that she couldn't hear me. Then after she asked that, she became quiet again. I sighed and grasped her hand again. It was as warm as before.
I looked at her, I felt so sorry. I know it wasn't my fault for causing that bludger to hit her, but I feel as if it was. I should've not been so stubborn, I should've lightened up, and I shouldn't have acted like a kid. But I did. And she felt so bad about it. I did too. I just wish that she'll be okay.
I sang her a song. And hopefully she could hear me.
"Broken this fragile thing now, and I can't, I can't pick up the pieces. And I've thrown my words all around. But I can't, I can't give you a reason"I began,"I feel so broken up. And I give up. I just want to tell you so you know…"
I took a deep breath and continued, "Here I go, scream my lungs out and try to get to you. You are my only one. I let go, but there's just no one that gets me like you. You are my only, my only one."
I clutched her hand, "Made my mistakes, let you down. And I can't, I can't hold on for too long. Ran my whole life in the ground, and I can't, I can't get up when you're gone."
"And something's breaking up, I feel like giving up. I won't walk out until you know," I sang on, "Here I go, scream my lungs out and try to get to you. You are my only one. I let go, but there's just no one that gets me like you. You are my only my only one."
"Here I go so dishonestly. Leave a note for you my only one. And I know you can see right through me. So let me go and you will find someone," when I sang those words, I felt pain, "Here I go, scream my lungs out and try to get to you. You are my only one. I let go, but there's just no one, no one like you. You are my only, my only one…"
"My only one, my only one, my only one, you are my only, my only one," I sang the last line of the song. Soon enough, I fell asleep. My hand was over Alicia's, holding on to her for dear life. Wake up, now, please? I would beg her. But she just lies there, asleep, motionless.
The song that George sang was Only One by Yellowcard. Ü
And I am VERY VERY VERY sorry for this CHEESY CHAPTER. Cheeseh! egh. I'm sooo sorry. Please do forgive me. >.
