George, Fred and Aggie followed close behind as Emma was taken to the medical wing on a stretcher. It hadn't taken long for the pupils to scarper back to their rooms, and the necessary professors to rush to Emma's aid.

When Emma had been settled into a hospital bed madam Pomfrey told the trio to go back to classes but they refused.

As first lesson turned into second Aggie ran off not wanting to miss potions as she was already slightly behind. That left Fred and George sitting at either side of Emma's bed.

They sat in a solemn silence, George reached up and held Emma's hand.

'Please wake up Em.' George whispered

'She'll be okay mate, just you see. She'll be up any minute.' Fred assured although his facial expression was less than certain of the idea.

When third lesson came about Fred decided to leave George with Emma, not making a big deal of him leaving. 'I'll see you at lunch, or after school, either way I'll be back later.' he said with a pleasant smile. George had simply nodded and let Fred go about his business.

When lunch started, the door to the medical wing meekly creaked open and Lucas peered around the door. George hadn't noticed him arrive, so Lucas walked over trying to make his presence known without shocking George.

When he finally looked up he let go of Emma's hand and stood up. At first, he seemed very formal, until Lucas saw his facial expression. He was mad, more than Lucas had ever seen anyone be towards him.

'Are you okay?' Lucas asked

'Don't do that.' George grimaced

'Don't do what?'

'Pretend you care. I don't trust you, Lowell.' George said trying hard not to shout

'I didn't do this!' Lucas insisted

'Guilty until proven innocent' George growled

'I thought it was innocent until proven guilty' Lucas squeaked

'Not. For. You.' George almost whispered. The whisper seemed harsher that a shout would have.

Lucas began to back away. 'I apologised! Why would I apologise and then do this?'

'So, we wouldn't suspect you?' George suggested. 'Get out.' He muttered

'Excuse me?' Lucas had barely heard what George had said

'Get out! Leave Emma alone! Don't come back!' George spat

Lucas, wide eyed, backed out of the door and closed it behind him. For a moment, George couldn't hear his footsteps walking away but then he heard the fast footsteps of a panicked coward running away. George sat back down next to Emma, he gently stroked her head before holding her hand once again.

George didn't even leave Emma's side to get lunch, he simply sat there holding her hand willing her to wake up. Madam Pomfrey said it would be worrying if she didn't wake up by the end of the day so George was going to stay with her until she woke up.

Unfortunately for him, George was no longer awake when Emma woke up. He had fallen asleep on the bed next to her, and about an hour later Emma woke up with a terrible headache.

Before she even sat up Emma could feel a sharp throbbing pain on her temple. Her hand raised straight to her head and started rubbing and trying to soothe the pain. She turned to her left and saw an empty seat alongside a small table with a jug of water and three empty glasses on a silver tray. Emma turned to the bed on her right and saw George lying there. Why was he here? She scrambled out of bed and sat next to his bed, brushing hair out of his face. She didn't hurt him when she fell did she? Of course not! She would remember, but then again… she couldn't remember anything. She could recall being up in the air and then falling suddenly but that's it, she strained trying to think of more details but nothing came.

'I think… I think I saw who did it?' Emma questioned aloud.

'It was… oh come on! Who was it?' but it seemed no matter how hard she tried she couldn't remember who had caused her to fall. She sat staring at George for a little while longer, questioning everything, before getting back into her own bed and pouring herself a glass of water.

A short while later Emma heard the main door go, she quickly pulled the duvet over her and pretended to be sleeping, she wasn't sure if she was allowed to be awake at night even if she was in the medical wing. However, the footsteps seemed light on the stone floor, like someone was trying to sneak around without being caught. Emma remained silent under the duvet until she heard a familiar voice ask her

'Emma, are you awake?'

It was Lucas, he had snuck out of the Slitherin dorms and come to visit her. He wore a very soft looking pair of Baby blue pyjamas.

'What are you doing out of bed?' Emma whispered so sternly that it was barely a whisper

'You sound like a teacher,' Lucas smiled 'I came to see you.'

That was weird, wait, was it? Emma was too flustered by his sudden appearance; she couldn't really tell.

'Thanks?'

'you're welcome.'

There was a short awkward silence that consisted of Lucas and Emma trying very hard to avoid any prolonged eye contact.

'Did you… I mean, do you know who did it? Made me crash that is.' Emma blurted out wanting to talk about something, anything but immediately feeling as though she had picked the wrong subject.

Lucas raised an eyebrow and gave Emma the once over before responding.

'Please, don't make a fool of yourself. I got enough of that earlier from your boyfriend.' Lucas said in a cool dismissive tone

'I don't have a boyfriend.' Emma stated quite bluntly

Lucas glanced over at a sleeping George on the bed just over from them with a pondering look.

'Well then, you have very,' he paused so that he could choose his words carefully 'protective… friends.' He finished.

'Aren't you my friend? That would suggest you're protective to.'

'I didn't say being protective was a bad thing.' Lucas said defensively 'You say that like you don't know if we're friends.' He added calmly. Emma thought for a moment before responding,

'Just curious as to what you think Lucas. Are we friends?' She tried not to be blunt but that comment was nothing if not sly

'I told you. I didn't cause your fall. I'm not the evil one of my family, if anything my sister is. Cunning, sly, a generally foul girl.' Lucas grumbled

'You have a sister?' Emma asked. Lucas gave her a blank stare, he stared right into her eyes, with a face that looked like he had no clue what she was talking about.

'Yes…' he said somewhat cautiously 'I, thought you knew?'

'I'm pretty sure we haven't had a proper conversation before today and not once have you mentioned a sister.' Emma said with a smile

'I suppose.' He said, hardly seeming invested in their conversation. Emma gazed over at George, still asleep in the bed next to her.

'Do you know how long he's been there?' Emma asked, not looking away from George

'Since you came in, I don't think he left all day.'

'Really?' Emma asked with disbelief

'Are you sure he's not your boyfriend? You're looking at him weird.'

'He's not my boyfriend! Stop asking'

'Are you sure? He didn't even leave for lunch today.'

'Really? That's nothing like the George I know!' The two shared a laugh

'Lucas.' Georges groggy morning voice said with spite. Lucas turned to look at George,

'Can I help you? Emma and I we're just chatting' He said, resting his hand on top of Emmas. That made Georges face darken.

'I think you should leave her to rest.' George ordered, rather than requested.

'Very well.' Lucas turned to Emma and gave her a warm smile before patting her hand and being on his way. George watched him the whole time he was leaving, only speaking after hearing his footsteps creep back to his dorm.

'You alright?' George asked still sounding slightly spiteful

'Yeah, I'm fine. Are you okay? That was a little weird.'

'You seriously trust that guy?' George asked sounding almost offended

'I… I don't know' She could have sworn she was confident in her trust of Lucas but that final moment, the bitter exchange between her two friends made her question why he was being so nice. Why did he apologise the day she was hurt? Why was he so weird towards George? Why was he so weird about his sister? Could he have done it?

Emma and George went back to sleep, and although the friendship group was separated they all had the same thought that night. Who did it?
