NOTE: MY TENSES ARE SCREWED B'COS OF THE PRESENT NARRATIVE TONE. IGNORE THE DUM TENSES.
Ok, I'm really sorry for the last chapter, and I hate myself for ruining such a good story. Gawd, I stink, but anywhoo, this will be a slightly more positive chapter, and hopefully (crosses fingers) longer on.
I woke up, somewhat groggy, tired, and sore. I felt angry at the world, in general. I shuffled around a bit, trying to keep my eyes shut for 1 more minute, and then, I heard the sound of curtains and my eyes flickered open. I couldn't see anything, except I felt somebody's warm hand around mine. I squeezed it, not even knowing whom it was. Looking in that direction, who was I to see, but Remus. He didn't seem to have noticed that I was awake. I quickly closed my eyes, I don't know why…
He was drawing patterns into my palm. He was saying something. I couldn't hear dammit. He got up from the chair and leaned over. I just mumbled something and wriggled. Even though I do say so myself, I am a pretty convincing actress. He sighed and bent down. I didn't know what he was going to do, but he brushed a kiss on my forehead and sat down. The small patch of skin on my forehead burnt, and I was rather surprised. I wasn't even expecting that.
Slowly, I fluttered my eyes open (convincing actress!) and mumbled his name. "Remus?"
"CJ!" he cried, held my hands and kissed them. I smiled groggily.
"Where am I?" I asked, truly confused.
"In the hospital wing."
"Why?"
"Because, tell me, do you remember what happened before you collapsed? Vance, he snuck up on you and hit you on the head with a bat. I was so scared; I stunned him and ran to you. You had a gigundo bump on your head and your breathing was faint."
"oh." Was all I could manage to say.
"I dragged you up here and told professor Dumbledore. You've been out for 5 days."
"wow."
"yeah,"
Just then, the rest of the gang a.k.a Lily, James, Sirius and Peter came traipsing in. "CJ!" Lily squealed and ran towards me. She hugged me, before James and Sirius come forward to hug me. They were beaming their heads off.
"GET OUT!" screamed Madam Pomfrey.
"But" protested Remus
"OUT!" she yelled.
"We're outing, we're outing, sheesh…" Sirius muttered.
And they walked out, leaving me alone to contemplate what had almost happened. Madam Pomfrey came along with a bottle of gigantic goopy stuff, which I was supposed to consume. Yeuch. While I was trying to rid my mouth of the sickening taste that entered my mouth, she spoke to me. "You know, you're very lucky. Mr. Lupin stayed with you the entire time you were here. His friends had to drag him out to get him something to eat."
"he did?"
"Yes, he was very depressed indeed."
"wow."
"now off to bed with you, only if you rest enough will I let you out."
"ok." And mulling over the queer thoughts I drifted off to sleep, with Remus' picture on my mind…
How was that? I know, very contemplating, not too much action, but feelings are arousing.
