Hermione's POV:

"Hermione! Riley! You better come with me." McGonagall said bursting into the common room. I startled and followed willingly. Riley glanced at me and I shrugged. Seriously... what is going on here?! McGonagall's robes were whirling behind her as we turned corners and climbed stairs. The tension was too much I had to ask.

I opened my mouth but Riley took my words. "Professor, where are we going?" he said between breaths.

"I figured that you would have asked that question. Well, I do not know the entire story but from what I did hear is that your friend, Ms. Adams, fell from her broom and is severely injured."

'Oh no! Andra! That's where we are going. The Hospital Wing!' I raced past them all to get to the Wing first- which I did by the way. The doors busted open and I flew threw them. I scanned each bed and I found Andra in the back right under a window glancing out over the gardens.

As I walked towards her bed the injuries looked worse and worse. She had bandages all over her head, arms, and legs. From what I could see of her skin was purple and badly bruised.

"She is suffering major head injury and most of her bones are broken. Fell 200 feet she did." said the nurse who came walking up behind me. "She's a little trooper I say. Should be awake in about 1-2 weeks. It all depends on how her body reacts to the medicine. Though there is always that chance that she might not make it. You are allowed to stay if you'd like, just do not disturb her."

"Thank you, miss." She left me and the sleeping Andra alone. "Oh! Please please please get better soon! Don't die! Please don't die! You are my best friend and I am proud to say that!" I said to her crying the whole time.

Soon McGonagall and Riley came in and the nurse told them the same thing. Riley was devastated, close to tears. McGonagall was calming herself- hoping for the best. I couldn't stop thinking 'please please please...' over and over again in my head. To have that chance of your best friend dying is unbearable for me. Looking up at her pale face and badly bruised arms tore my heart apart.

Riley pulled up a chair and put his hand on my shoulder. I looked at his face and pain was written all over it. Riley has had a huge "crush" on Andra ever since he saw her board the train in 1st year. Nobody knows about that except me. He's very good at not showing emotion at times. Usually he's himself only around us. In 1st year he barely spoke but he came around, thanks to Andra. She never gave up on him. Ever. His eyes were clear as though he was in his own little world and not here. That's how I kind of feel right now.

"I hope that she will be ok." I said, breaking the silence.

No response

"It would be horrible if she... if something bad happened."

He slowly turned his head to face me.

"I never even got the chance to tell her that I love her." he said blinking back tears.

"I know." I said putting my arm around him. "I know."

XXXXX

Back in the common room everybody heard the news and was devastated. But certainly not as much as Riley and I were. Gryffindor ended up loosing due to the fact that the team had to sub some random person in to play Chaser. Andra was the best Chaser on the team and scored 150 points the last game. Harry is Keeper, Andra and Ginny are Chasers, Fred and George are beaters, and Riley is the seeker. All of them are friends which makes Quidditch much more fun for them, at least that's what Andra says.

I sat by the open window in the common room as the rain fell down. In my hands I held the Twilight book by Stephanie Meyer. This would have to be my 3rd time reading this one, but my attention kept turning towards Andra and what would happen if that little chance occurred. Riley would probably never talk again, I would fail all my classes, Gryffindor's Quidditch team would lose every match, and the world would be a darker place. Our Gryffindor princess... dead. I cannot bring myself to think about it.

I finally gave up on reading, so I closed the book and leaned my head against the brick wall. I still sat there on the ledge and didn't ever plan on moving. I looked around the room and everybody seemed to be doing their own activity, but I could see on their face that they would be giving up soon, just as I did with my reading. Most of the girls were holding back tears and some couldn't so they ended up bawling. The guys just sat there staring into space, surely thinking about Andra. Riley was in horrible condition. He had bags under his eyes and his hair was even messier than usual. He probally didn't get any sleep last night. I think that I got about 3-4 hours last night. Even then, not enough to keep me perky. Andra was friends with everybody- or most everybody- in Gryffindor. She gives tours of the school to 1st years every year. She tutors 2nd years when they need help. She's just friends with the 3rd years mostly because she is a 3rd year herself. And she listens to the problems that the older years have. She is a wonderful person that everybody loves and adores.

She is pretty too. Every guy had or has or will have a crush on her. She has long, straight, thick, brown hair that runs down to her shoulders. Her eyes are a mixture between brown and red and gold. She has a great bone structure that all the girls are jealous of. She is very fit because she is part of many sports: Quidditch, Archery, Track (yes we have that), and in the winter- ice skating. But the most important thing about her is her personality. She is fun-loving, caring, kind, but can be furious at people who do her or loved ones wrong, she is smart, clever, cunning. Very sly, unnoticeable when she wants to be, and very noticeable when she wants to be. I even envy her most of the time but she always reminds me the good that I have that nobody else has. That's another thing. She makes you feel important when nobody else can.

Well that is Andra for you. Perfect in every way. Riley is a perfect match for her. Andra is always saying that she wants somebody who will need her. She wants to meet someone and completely change their life for the better. That's what she did to Riley. Even though not everybody is friends with him, he still has people who care about him. He loves adventure and likes having that chance of being caught. He is very smart and very wise. He knows when enough is enough. His hair is brown and extremely soft. His eyes are as blue as a cloudless day and his smile is the sun beating down on a deserted meadow. That's what Andra told him when he was going on about how he is worthless. I always smile at that memory because he perked up so much after Andra told him how much he meant. His face glowed for a good 2 weeks. Riley is also very fit (he does Quidditch and track). All the girls loved him in first year because they thought he was "hott". I laugh at that too. It's kinda weird to think of your friend as "hott". Anyway I think that they are perfect for each other.

Well the sun went down slowly that day and the moon came up too fast. I don't want to know what will happen to Andra until it comes. But I am also anxious at the same time. I hope that she is ok. Ok enough to go to the dance. That's when Riley was going to tell her that he loves her. Ohh! I can't wait till that night! Might as well take one night at a time. I picked up my book and hopped off the ledge, I hadn't moved all day. My butt was really sore but I managed to get into bed. As I laid there I only thought of how much I wanted Andra to be ok. I guess I'll find out in 1-2 weeks.

A/n: again... sorry for the short chapters but the only time that I have to write these are at night I'm getting tired so hope ya liked it! Tell me what you think.
