I woke up in Madam Pomfrey's hospital wing, with no one in sight. I turned my head to the right, only to see Potter standing in the doorway, looking deathly pale and a terrified look on his face. I go to say something, but my tongue refuses to work. Potter crosses half the room to get to my bedside in three steps. He grabbed a cup off the table next to me, then brings the cup to my lips.
"Drink," he muttered, refusing to meet my eyes. I do as he says and almost immediately I feel as though my tongue had been reduced to a third the size it was before.
"What kind of poison did you put in it Potter?" I snapped. I felt a stab of guilt and a hurt look crossed his face, but I reminded myself of what I had to do and toughed it out. Besides, he still wouldn't look at me.
"Sorry for trying to help my friend. Next time I won't worry about you. I won't bother taking you to the hospital wing. I'll just leave you on the floor of the Great Hall for someone else to take care of. I won't make it my problem." And with that, he turned and stalked out, but not before I had seen tears streaming down his face.
What is his issue?! Why is he so sensitive? And why does he keep pretending to care about me? Did he make a bet with Ron or something? Well, whatever the reason was, now all I could picture was the muscles in Potter's arms as he carried me to the hospital wing. Fuck.
He would undoubtedly start levitating food to my plate again, and the next day, when I was released to go to dinner, I was ready to see my plate already filled when I walked in, but Potter was sitting with his back to the Slytherin table. He didn't turn around once the entire meal, and my house just ignored me, didn't even say a word when I didn't take so much as a pea. I ignored my hunger for both food and the taste of Potter's lips and just caught up on the work I had missed when I was out of commission. I figured that I was only going to end up dead if I kept skipping meals, but at this point, I did not give one single fuck.
Please drop a review with suggestions for the story because I only have like seven pages after this and I'm running out of ideas. Also, if you have an OC you'd like added into the story please. I would love to hear your feedback on the latest chapter.
