(A/N): Hey Guys! I wrote this as soon as I got home from school, so it's two chapters in one day. I finished the last one in my double maths lesson this morning, with the real Maloney yelling at everyone in the background. Then I had metalwork, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to fail considering I only finished one of the two required projects. Then Humanities, where we had this seminar thing on how to use the computers (we had the exact same one last term), and then Drama, which I'm pretty sure I'm going to get an A in considering I'm the only one who actually participates. We watched a movie today, which everyone had seen in Drama last year, so my teacher basically let us do whatever we wanted.

Burrito's! (it may seem random, but I'm actually having them for tea!)

Disclaimer: I own nothing but Leo, Elaine, Nicholai and Shari.


Leo

Madam Pomfrey had rushed the others out as soon as she had woken up, and Elaine pretended to still be asleep next to me as she went to kick her out too, a wise move considering Pomfrey just smiled down at her fondly before moving on.

"She's gone now." I whispered, and Elaine lifted her head. That is, just before Madam Pomfrey bustled back in. Elaine rubbed her eyes and stretched, pretending to yawn, in order to act like she had only just woken up.

"Ah, Miss Folley, you're up. If you don't mind, I need to take Leo off your hands for further examination." Elaine blushed slightly, removing her hands from where they had been placed on my stomach, and I simply stared up at Madam Pomfrey, trying not to be disappointed by the sensation of the heat of Elaine's hands leaving my body.

"Okay." I told her, pushing myself off the bed using the arm that didn't have the bite. I winced slightly as the bandaged scratches panged, but continued moving, not wanting to alert them to my weakness.

Pomfrey led me to the other side of the room, and instructed me to sit on the bed, before pulling the privacy screen around us. She started peeling back the bandages, concentrating, her lips pursed and eyebrows drawn together in a line.

"I'm sorry. About the last time I was here? It must have been quite...frightening." I finished lamely, and she dropped the bandage into the bin next to the bed before looking at me sternly. The bandage vanished instantly.

"Don't blame yourself, it was my own fault. I should have expected... it was as stupid thing to do." She agreed, and I smiled slightly, before wincing as her fingers brushed the edge of the bite gently.

"It's paining you, quite badly isn't it?" I nodded, worrying my bottom lip between my teeth in order to avoid looking down at it. There was no point in lying to the older healer, even if I thought she wouldn't see through my bullshit. "That's to be expected, but I'll see what I can find to stop the pain." She pulled back the screen, and entered her office, and I could feel Remus and Elaine's gazes on me, but I avoided them.

"What happened the last time you were in here?" I raised my eyebrow, staring at the floor as Remus asked this, shocked that he had actually heard me.

"I thought I was supposed to be the one with super senses." I stated quietly, picking at the edge of the flimsy hospital clothes I had to wear. Mine were trashed, and these didn't rub against my wounds, so I didn't mind. They weren't the typically hospital gowns, but a sort of cheap cotton that was soft, yet somehow still inevitably uncomfortable.

"What happened?" Elaine reiterated, her tone leaving me no room to worm out of this.

"I may or may not have attacked her." I whispered, sounding guilty, even to my own ears. I heard Remus gasp, but Elaine remained silent, and I assumed she hadn't heard.

"How?" Elaine turned to stare at him.

"What? What did he say?" She asked impatiently, but he held his hand up to stop her.

"She gave me a vial of human blood, and in company with how out of it I was feeling, I lost track, and almost attacked her." I whispered this again, not having it in me to have Elaine hear it from me firsthand, and Elaine glanced between the two of us before stomping her foot as Remus let out a sigh of almost exasperated relief.

"What?!" She exclaimed, staring at me now, hoping for an answer. I met her gaze with sad eyes before returning to my picking.

"At least you didn't." Remus said, and Elaine remained silent this time, staring at me concernedly.

"Yeah." I murmured as Madam Pomfrey re-entered the room, fresh bandages and a vial with milky white liquid inside in her hand. She closed the privacy screen again, and set the bandages by my knee before tipping a small amount of the liquid onto my bite.

I hissed at the burning sting that pulsed from the area, my hands fisting the crisp white sheets of the hospital bed.

"Sorry." Pomfrey said absently, her mind clearly on her work as she quickly wrapped a clean bandage around the wound before turning to the next one, doing the same to all of the wounds.

"Well, that was a breath of spring air." I said as Madam Pomfrey pulled back the privacy screen, and I could tell Remus and Elaine had heard my hisses of pain as they were avoiding my eyes.

"Relax you two, he's my best patient. I'm not exactly going to inflict pain on him unnecessarily." At this, Remus looked even more down-cast, and I elbowed Madam Pomfrey in the ribs as lightly as I could, even if the movement was more likely to hurt me at the moment than her.

"Relax Remmy, stress is slowly killing you." He smiled slightly at the familiar phrase. "Besides, it didn't even hurt that bad, I'm just a wuss." Elaine snorted, trying to smother her laughter with a hand, and Remus grinned somewhat sadly.

"Yeah, you are." He said quietly, and I knew he didn't mean it. In fact, it sounded like he meant the exact opposite of that.

"Come on, Madam Pomfrey said we can leave." Pomfrey opened her mouth to protest, but simply frowned and waved a hand in defeat.

"Just take care of them, Miss Folley. And please, boys, try not to get into anymore trouble." I grinned at her, and exited the Hospital wing with a salute in her direction.

"Let's go find Lily, I'm sure she'll be worried about you Leo. After all, she only had time to glance at you before Pomfrey kicked them out, and I doubt she missed all those bandages." I grimaced, touching the bandage on my shoulder gingerly, only to find the area numb. I mentally check the rest of the wounds, but I couldn't feel them either.

"Let's." I agreed, smiling at the thought of seeing our other friends again.


(A/N): So, I realised that Snape hasn't been in it since like, the start of first year, so he's going to reappear soon.
