Chapter 21 – Returning
"How are you feeling?" Quincy asked, visiting me that same night.
"Still a bit weak. But... getting better." I answered, sitting on my bed, munching on some snacks she brought to the hospital wing. "It is because of the blood loss."
"Yeah... I bet!" She shivered but then chuckled a little.
"What?"
"You should have heard it... Draco screamed so shrilly we thought it came from our side of the dormitory!" She told me, whispering, afraid someone else was listening in. "If he is pale as default, then he was ghostly white when he found you like that!"
"Now I wish I was awake to see it!" I chuckled and watched Quincy shiver once again.
"It was scary. I thought you were murdered! Tortured and then killed, like how the muggles do it! You know, like savages!"
"Well... I guess it was gruesome." I mused, imagining it.
"Yeah! Your spell is sinister! Casting and then, later on, bang! Your blood bursts forth from your body?! You created something extremely horrible, you know!" She said scoldingly, looking at me with worried eyes.
"Did you tell it to anyone?" Now it was my turn to lower my voice to that of a whisper.
"Of course not! I am not stupid! But I bet the Headmaster knows about it... he is just playing it down! Plus, now many think it was Draco's work!"
