Well Fuck You Then Rat Boy (Marauders era Fanfic)
5 .: Freya’s POV :.
I’m warm. Much too warm.
And sticky too.
All together, not a great welcome back into kinda-sorta-consciousness. I tried to open my eyes but found them supremely uncooperative.
Huh…that’s weird…why cant I open my eyes?
Or are they actually already open and I’ve just gone blind?
You would know if you had your eyes open even if you were blind wouldn’t you? I tried feeling if there was any sort of breeze on my eyes but didn’t really notice anything.
Giving up on the eyeball front I suddenly became aware of something squishy and large in my grasp. I realised with surprise that it was a hand.
Is someone voluntarily holding hands with me?
No of course not! Who would? I don’t have any friends and this feels a little too personal for Madam Pomfrey’s practical and strict manner.
Actually, come to think of it why am I in the hospital ward? Because that’s definitely where I am. Theres no mistaking that smell of cleanness.
Finally succeeding in prying my eyes open I blink fuzzily a moment before my eyes focused up and I was free to study my surroundings; white walls and white beds with white sheets. I myself am currently tucked into the white sheets of one of the white beds.
This is unsurprising. When you’re Hogwart’s personal punching bag you tend to become well acquainted with the medical department.
Still, it would be nice to know how I got here.
Also to know what this squishy warm dealie is because it can’t be a hand.
First things first, lets assess the damage..
I look down at myself and what I see isn’t all too reassuring. My entire body -or what I can see of it- is covered in horrible scabby burns. It looks like someone’s put an ointment on them cuz the skin around most of the burns has turned a kinda yellow colour.
How lovely.
Resolving to try not to think too hard about this, I take a look at the mystery object clenched within my right hand.
I freeze….and when I say freeze, I mean like a blood stilling, muscle tightening, butt clenching stillness of a freeze.
Oh no no no no no no no…
Couldn’t they leave me -a poor injured girl- alone? Was it their fault I’m here? What sort of sick people would wait for someone to wake up, just to get an early start on making that someone’s life unbearable?
Remus Lupin slept on. He had his hand in mine and was dozing peacefully with his head resting on his arm.
Shitshitshitshitshitshit and double shit!
I bit my lip tensly and frantically flapped the hand that wasn’t currently in the clutches of my enemy through the air.
Fuuuuuuuccckkkk! Ohhh buggering stinky house elf turds!!!
What do I do?! I cant risk waking him, there’d be hell to pay!
Half an hour later, after several attempted escapes, a bajillion panic attacks and a brief moment of me just rocking softly and muttering “Why is it always me?” I had given up.
I was currently shrunk right to the edge of the bed, as far away from the dastardly hand thief as physically possible.
Oh twiddling hipporgriff bogies.
.:Remus’s POV:.
I awoke groggily, still in the uncomfortable position that I had fallen asleep in and with the makings of what promises to be an almighty crick in my neck. I sigh, rolling my shoulders to loosen the knot forming.
Brilliant. Juuust bloody brilliant.
I then attempt to sit up…but stopped dead in my tracks.
