Inspiration

Rosie was told when she woke up this morning that she had to spend all day and that night in the hospital wing and that she would be allowed to return to her own dorm tomorrow, but she was to take the rest of the week to rest. The nurse informed all of her teachers and had given Rosie strict instructions to come down every so often for another dose of her potions to ensure that her broken bones and her concussion healed correctly. Even magical medicine could error. The Hufflepuff had been well taken care of. When she woke up, Adonia was there, the girl who caused her injuries. Rosie was still a little fuzzy on the full series of events, but she knew with everything that she was that it couldn't have been an accident. Rosie never would have chosen to practice that kind of magic and she knew her limits well. She stopped taking Defense Against the Dark Arts after she got a Troll on her OWL for the subject, it had been a low point, but even she saw it coming. Anyone who knew her well would have thought it was fishy that she had willingly entered into a duel.

Brandon had been there all day. He had been so sweet and kind to her. She had been trying to maintain composure and maintain a positive outlook, however, she was so shaken inside and out. She felt panicked whenever anyone entered the hospital wing until she saw who it was and then she had to take a few deep breaths to calm herself down. She was sure if she mentioned it to the nurse they could give her something to help her calm down, but she didn't want it. She wanted to be at full wit. However, when she heard footsteps outside of the door and then watched it open, she sat up a bit in her bed and craned her neck to see who it was.

It was no secret that news spread quickly at Hogwarts. Most of the time, Juliet didn't bother with the gossip, but she was truly concerned when she heard her best friend Rosie was in the hospital wing. She had dropped her homework immediately and raced to the hospital wing to see Rosie, only thinking of the direction of her feet and hoping it was nothing serious. Rosie wasn't a Muggleborn, but what if that horrible group extended their attacks to half-bloods too?

Juliet only slowed down when she reached the door because she did not want to be scolded for barging in. She opened the door slowly and peeked her head in, searching for Rosie's face. Once she spotted it, Juliet walked over as quickly as she could without running. "Are you okay? What happened? I'm sorry I'm so late, I just heard-- I should have known when you didn't show up in the dorm-- I'm so stupid," Juliet said, in a whisper so as not to disturb anyone else. Juliet didn't think she had ever seen her friend so unhappy, but as Juliet was not a healer yet, there was nothing she could do for Rosie except be there for her.

Rosie was thrilled to see a familiar face enter the doors into the Hospital wing. She was a bit surprised to see her, however, she knew her friends were incredibly loyal and she was loyal to them. It made sense that they would come looking for her. If she heard that they were in the hospital wing she would be there in a second. "Hi! It's nice to see you, thanks for coming." Rosie really meant it. Juliet and Rosie had known each other since their first day on the train on the way to Hogwarts and she was one of the most important people in the world to her. "Sit down." Rosie insisted and tried to sit up a little more in the bed. She was mostly numb all over thanks to the potions that the nurses kept insisting that she drink, but it was probably good given the amount of broken bones that she had. Rosie was just glad that they were able to heal her nose without it looking different than it used to be. "I'm okay." she told her friend. "I just uh... lost a duel, you know me. Awful at magic." Rosie shrugged. She knew that was just a small part of the truth. But it was obviously the story that Adonia wanted everyone to think and Rosie didn't want to think about what would happen if she told people the full story.

Ain't no crying in the club

[attr="class","itokaytext"]Thalia Wood can say that she has her nerves and emotions under control all the time. But after those kidnappings and attacks last year, she was not sure. Last night she waited for her friend Rosie to come back from her astronomy assignment. Thalia had been practicing spells for the next dueling club meeting, and she could not go along with her. She assumed that Rosie would be back soon, and waited up in the dorm room. She did not know it, but soon she fell asleep. And woke up quite late in the morning. Since no one woke her up or anything, she assumed everything was perfectly normal and seeing the dorm empty, she assumed that their friends left for classes. But little did she know that something happened the previous night which prevented Rosie from coming back to the dorm.

As Thalia came down to the common room, she could hear people whispering about how someone was in the hospital. She wondered just what had happened in Hogwarts whilst she was asleep and she caught on the news from a third year. Rosie was in the hospital. All of the color drained from her face as she heard it. She immediately ran out of the common room and started to make her way up the stairs. Her sweet best friend, whom she saw as a sister was in the hospital wing and none thought that she had a right to know? While they may not be related, she knew Rosie since they were kids. She was sprinting up the stairs two at a time, her brown hair fell loose from the bun just as she reached the hospital wing. The doors were already open and Thalia walked in just in time to hear Rosie's voice speaking I just uh... lost a duel, you know me. Awful at magic. That caught thalia's attention. She has known the girl for a very long time and if there was one thing she knew very well was that , Rosie would never willingly duel. Hell, Thalia was in the dueling club since many years and even she was not able to coerce the girl to participate. If Thalia was good at anything then it was her perceptive ability. And right now it was telling her or rather screaming at her, that something was very wrong with this.

Thalia entered the area where Rosie was and all her previous thoughts were locked away upon looking at her. Oh Merlin, look at you, and don't even try to sit up. Just relax, please"she said in a soft voice. Tears were threatening to fall from her eyes, but she has to hold it together. She can't be seen so weak when Rosie needed her. Judging from how Juliet was, she gathered that the girl too heard the news not long before her. Looking at Rosie she voiced her previous thoughts "so a duel huh?"she asked her eyes on Rosie daring her to lie to the two of them. She knew her friend well enough, this wasn't fitting at all.

"Anytime," Juliet said to Rosie after she thanked her for coming. She knew Rosie would do the same for her. Juliet tried to force a smile for her friend's sake, but found it increasingly difficult as seconds passed. She sat down, not because she really wanted to, but because she could hear the insistence in her friend's voice. After watching her attempt to sit up, Juliet did not really believe Rosie when she said she was okay, and Juliet found it even harder to believe that Rosie was in a duel. She knew Rosie had left Defense Against the Dark Arts as soon as possible because she disliked it so much, not to mention Rosie was too kind to ever want to duel with somebody. However, Juliet did not have time to say anything before another one of her friends, Thalia, entered the hospital wing. Thalia, who looked as worried as Juliet felt, voiced similar suspicions.

"Who was it? Dueling you, I mean?" Juliet asked. She was not particularly good at dueling herself, but she already had a few things in mind that she wanted to say to whoever would send her best friend to the hospital wing.

Thalia came running in shortly after Juliet and Rosie smiled at her old friend as well. She had Thalia had known each other since they were kids, and she was very glad to see them both. Especially since she knew Brandon couldn't stay forever, but, he had asked her out, and while she was still recovering, she was also excited to get to tell her friends the fun news that happened when he came to make sure that she was okay. "I'll be okay, I can come back to the dorm tomorrow." Rosie added with a smile, trying to assure them that she would survive. She had gotten all of her memory back and knew exactly what happened, however, she wasn't keen on sharing. "I'm healing perfectly well" she promised. "It's nothing to worry about."

"It was just some Durmstrang student named Adonia... I don't think I ever got her last night. She was trying to help me learn a spell but it went wrong." Rosie insisted, and it was only kind of a lie, Adonia did continue to insist that she was trying to teach and help her regardless of how many times Rosie asked her to stop and tried to leave. But she had told Brandon the truth, and while she knew he said he wouldn't do anything, she wasn't quite convinced that he wouldn't try to talk to Adonia or something. "Really don't worry about it, it's not a big deal, she already told the professors what happened and I'm just trying to forget it." she admitted, however, she knew it would take a while to forget. "You just missed Brandon." she told them with a blush forming across her cheeks.

'Cause we get no time for getting old

[attr="class","itokaytext"]
Juliet had asked the question which Thalia really wanted the answer for. No matter who it was, they just earned themselves a one way ticket to the badside of Thalia Wood. She was never the one to hold it against people but some times she just would not let people hurt someone she cared for. And as Rosie spoke that she would be back in the dorm by tomorrow, Thalia just mumbled "you were not supposed to be in here in the first place". If the other person was a dueler, Thalia would definitely love to see how they would hold up against her. She was not named as the captain of their club for nothing and she was a fighter through and through. And whoever this person was, definitely would get a taste of their own medicine. As Rosie started reassuring them, Thalia gave a nod and said "but we worry about you Rosie and nothing would stop us from worrying about you, until you're away from this place" as she eyed the hospital wing with a not so happy face. Thalia hated the hospital wing, and she has never been a fan of injuries either, so looking at Rosie only increased her worries.

As Rosie mentioned the name of the person, Thalia listened on calmly. But inside she was seething with anger, she has heard that the Durmstrang were pretty ruthless, but this was just too much in her mind. "Trying to teach you a spell, you say... well I assure you that I would definitely return her the favor"said Thalia a little too forcefully. But at Rosie's insistence she nodded and said "if you say so Rose" but she was definitely going to keep an eye out for this witch. And as Rosie mentioned about Brandon, Thalia looked up her lips curving into a soft smile. But upon looking at the blush on her friends cheek, Thalia wondered what was happening between those two which she was unaware of. And so she asked with a small smile hoping that it wouldn't appear too much forced "and why is it that you're blushing Miss Williams? Does it have to do something with a certain wizard who returned this year?" Truth be told,Thalia has had feelings for him, but each time she stopped thinking that it would spoil their already existing friendship and then there was the girl from the Yule Ball. After that Thalia did not have the heart to even tell him about what she truly felt and till this day it is a secret buried deep within her.

Although Juliet was relieved when Rosie said that she could come back to the dorm the next day, Juliet was still concerned for her best friend, probably because of her big sister genes. Juliet nodded to show that she felt the same as Thalia spoke about worrying for Rosie no matter what. However, Juliet narrowed her eyes in anger when Rosie described who had injured her. Juliet knew a couple Durmstrang students who weren't so bad, but there was no denying the school's association with the Dark Arts, which made Juliet even more suspicious about Rosie's situation. Still, Juliet trusted Thalia, who was the dueling club captain after all, to teach this Adonia girl a lesson.

Juliet had more questions, but Rosie changed the topic, and she didn't seem like she really wanted to keep talking about it, anyway. Juliet didn't know much about Brandon, other than the fact that he used to be in Hufflepuff before transferring to Durmstrang, and it seemed he had come back for the Triwizard Tournament. "Ooh, does someone have a crush?" Juliet teased when she noticed the blush on Rosie's face. She smiled, glad that at least something good had happened to Rosie lately.

Rosie didn't want Thalia to cause a scene by going after Adonia, Rosie honestly feared any type of reciprocation, however, she didn't want to make a big deal out of it, because then Thalia and Juliet would see how scared and worried Rosie still was about the whole thing and then they would for sure do something about it, she loved her friends for that, Hufflepuffs truly were some of the most loyal people that she had ever met and she appreciated being a member of such a lovely house. "I don't plan on being back in her anytime soon." she insisted. "And for the next few weeks Brandon think's it's best if I travel with a partner so if I seem more clingy than normal, that's why." Rosie explained to them. While she was sure that she'd be safe traveling from class to class given the sheer number of other students around, but if she ever had to go anywhere outside of class time, she would definitely try to take a friend along. 

They both asked her why she was blushing when she mentioned Brandon and she was actually a little eager to tell them her big news, "well he asked me on a date..." Rosie said with a smile creeping up on her scratched face and scabbed lips, which were actually better than they had been, which was surprising since she was sure she still looked awful. She was surprised that Brandon had seen her like this and still wanted to go out with her. "For this weekend." she added. "My first date. And it wasn't just because I'm in the hospital... he said he was going to find me after classes today but he heard from some students in the halls that I was here... how crazy are the rumors anyway?" she asked.

i love to hold you close

[attr="class","itokaytext"]
As Rosie insisted that she won't be anytime here soon, Thalia gave a smile and said "Stick to that young lady" and winking at her she then added "I would be happy then"and smiled. She cannot be angry at some other person when her best friend needed her at that time.As she explained what Brandon had suggested, she found it pretty good and besides after all this, she was never going to leave her out of sight even if she was going to be named as a stalker or over possessive friend or mama bear it doesn't matter to her as long as rosie was safe. Today it was her in the hospital wing, and Thalia could not imagine any of her friends in a position like this, and while she was good, she did not know if she too can hold herself at times of panic and worry. With a smile she said "and don't mind if we both cling on too much to you too"as she took Rosie's hand and gave a squeeze. "We will be there for you Rosie, always"

As Rosie mentioned that Brandon asked her on a date, Thalia did her best to not show any other emotion other than happiness for her friend. Perhaps she was only going ot be a friend to him, may be that was how it was. nevertheless she could never let her feelings get in the middle of this. It was her two best friends and she would want the best for them even if it meant that she never got the chance to be anything more than a friend to him. In the end she decided to be happy for them and said "that's quite awesome, I will pick your outfit for the day if it is okay"she asked with a smiling face fighting her own feelings and pushing them down just like she did all those months ago. As rosie asked about the rumours, Thalia shook her head and said "you know how the school is.. they exaggerate a lot."And then she decided to tell it to her, "if you really want to know, the most heard one is that you were in the hospital wing after some accident involving someone else and you were all bruised". Even as she said it Thalia felt herself looking at Rosie more and more just to reassure herself that her friend was well and not what she had imagined her to be listening to those words.

Juliet hoped Rosie wouldn't be back in the hospital wing again, or any of her friends, for that matter. She didn't want to remember what had happened to some of her other friends in the past few years and she didn't want to imagine anything similar happening to Rosie. "I don't think either of us would separate from you anyway, just to be safe," she told the Hufflepuff.

Juliet gasped slightly and a smile appeared on her face when Rosie made her announcement. "I'm so glad for you," she said. "Where are you two going, do you know yet?" Hopefully the change of topic would distract Rosie from the fact that she was in the hospital wing, if only for a minute or two. For some reason, though, Juliet thought she saw a hint of sadness on Thalia's face, but she might just have been imagining it.

"Don't worry, everyone will find something new to talk about in a few days," Juliet reassured Rosie after Thalia explained what kind of rumors were currently going around.

Rosie was glad that neither of her friends seemed annoyed by the idea of them being with her for the next few days at least as she finished her recovery. She liked hanging out with her friends anyway so it wasn't as if it was a burden to spend more time with them. "Oh good." she smiled and nodded.

Rosie was excited to share her news with her friends and she was glad that they were happy for her. Brandon was a nice guy and someone who had once been in their year and spent a lot of time with them and she had missed him terribly when he decided to transfer schools. But she was glad that he was back now and able to spend time with them again. They should all spend time together again, Rosie thought, just like old times. "I'm so excited. I actually saw him recently in Hogsmead and we talked and I began to think that I might have a little crush on him, and now here we are, funny how it works out sometimes." she admitted, oblivious to Thalia's inner struggle. Rosie would have felt awful if she knew how her best friend actually felt. The young Hufflepuff would have found herself extremely conflicted. 

The explained to her that the rumors weren't too bad and she sighed in relief, she knew it would get around, but she didn't want it to be the big news because she didn't want everyone to ask questions. "Well if they're only talking about bruises I guess they missed the broken bones and concussion then." she teased herself, managing a bit of a smile about it, Rosie liked to see the bright side.

Thalia found herself nodding at Juliet's words. She may be good at self defense, but one could never know what might happen in this castle and considering last year, she was not at all going to take any chances. "Count on us to be with you"and smiling at the two she said "and I could use some girls time with you both" and winked.

As Rosie began to talk, Thalia just listened to her nodded. When she mentioned that she had a crush on him, Thalia decided to just live in the moment and feel happy for her friend. It was the least she could do. It was not in her behavior to harbor a grudge or jealousy towards Rosie, besides they were friends for a very long time. And what had Rosie done in all this, she did not even know how Thalia felt for Brandon and she could not even blame her, for that was a secret she would never slip. And so she spoke teasing her friend "my my, some one is keeping secrets from us". She then said with a smile "I am happy that at least one of us have got themselves a date coming weekend trip"and winked at Rosie.

"You are not joking about those bruises and broken bones, young lady"said Thalia shaking a finger at Rosie. When she came to know that Rosie was in the hospital wing with bruises, Thalia had worried herself beyond anything. Had she known about the whole list, sh would've been beyond upset and anything would have happened on her way to here. "It's bad enough that you have to endure this all"said Thalia with a huff. If given the chance, Thalia would wrap her friend in blankets and would sit on her all day all night if it meant that she would be safe.

Juliet could not have agreed more with Thalia about being happy for Rosie, although Juliet, too, did not understand the struggle Thalia was facing. "You'll have to tell us all about it," she smiled. "What's he like? I don't remember him that well."

Juliet's worry for Rosie resurfaced when the Hufflepuff mentioned that the gossiping students missed her broken bones and concussion. Juliet admired her friend's continuous optimism, but she was still trying to figure out how to react to the fact that her friend had sustained such extreme injuries. She was just grateful that, with the help of magic, Rosie would be able to heal quickly. At least, much quicker than Muggles suffering the same injuries would. "Is there anything I can get for you from the dorm room? A book to read or some sweets or something?" she offered. Juliet didn't want to leave Rosie -- she felt quite the opposite way, actually -- but she was willing to do anything to make her friend more comfortable.

Rosie began to feel a little sleepy and she wondered if it was a side effect of one of the potions that she had been given earlier in the day. She knew one wasn't supposed to sleep with a concussion, but she supposed since she had already been a sleep after having received her injuries, it was probably alright and not a sign of worsening or anything. She gave a yawn and nodded when they said she would have to fill them in and tell them everything, and she had every thought to do so, but later, in a more private, more comfortable location, and when Jamie could join them. She was sure their other friend hadn't got the news yet and she hoped that she wouldn't worry herself too much when she found out. "He's very sweet." she gave a sleepy nod, remembering that Juliet hadn't been as close with Brandon as she and Thalia had been.

Thalia reprehended her for joking and she sighed, "sorry mum." she teased her best friend. Rosie was always one to try to make everyone feel better about whatever situation they were in, even if she was the hurt or sick one. She liked to keep things light and fun. It was a trait the Hufflepuff had always had, since she was little, she'd giggle about injuries and always look for the bright side, she wondered if this event would change that at all. She always tried to see the best in people, but it was hard when people chose to show her the bad. "No, I'm okay, Julie, I'm just getting sleepy." she admitted to her friends with another yawn.
