"You didn't have to spend the night in that horribly uncomfortable chair for that." – Flame teased him with a smile – "What will your fangirls think when they see you now? Your hair is such a mess! It looks like you've got little prongs sticking out everywhere!"

James was struck by how pitiful and tortured his friend appeared. His gaze was entirely fixed on her, so much so that he didn't notice the sheets on every other bed, torn into shreds. He didn't know what to do, but he desperately wanted to stop Catherine's pain, no matter what it took. Gently, he took her hand, hoping to share some of the burden, even if it was a naïve thought. To his surprise, the young witch's features relaxed, and her breathing steadied, although she still looked sound asleep.

"Petrificus Totalus!" - he bellowed, his wand carving a sharp arc through the air. Catherine's eyes widened in shock as she moved to counter—but exhaustion betrayed her. The spell struck her squarely in the chest, knocking the wind out of her. Her vision blurred, and an icy numbness surged through her body. Her arms snapped to her sides, legs clamped together, and she toppled to the ground like a felled tree. A sickening thud followed as her head struck a stone hidden in the grass.

It's hard being a teenager
The young witch swallowed the lump in her throat as she faced the reality she had been trying to ignore. She was jealous of Marianne. She missed Sirius's attention, the way he used to be around her. But compared to Marianne, Catherine felt like she didn't even measure up. Her gaze dropped to her own reflection, to the thin, childlike frame staring back at her. She had grown painfully aware of how much weight she'd lost, her figure devoid of anything remotely "womanly." Even the sports bra she'd bought seemed pointless; there was nothing to fill it out.

"I don't give a damn who you're talking to, Snape!" – the aristocrat snapped – "I've tried to respect the... strange relationship you have with Lily. For some reason, she insists you're not so bad. But when you show up like this—screeching and making her anxious—I will intervene. You need to understand you'll never have her the way you want! If you truly value your friendship, accept it and stop acting like a jealous boyfriend. Know your place!"

"Hah!" - Carsilion laughed bitterly - "I would've hated having my father teach me. Thank Merlin he's a Water Mage. Actually, I remembered something interesting recently. My father was Eileen Prince's Master of Water. I vaguely recall seeing her at home during the holidays, but I never paid her much attention. Plus, I'm pretty sure I wasn't aware of who she was back then. As you know, I was busy avoiding my father and everything related to him."

"Are you fucking insane?!" – he yelled – "I could've hexed your head off! Who Apparates into someone's office without warning?"

'Maybe she'd reconsider if I got on my knees.' – he thought, unable to suppress a smirk at what he could do from that position.

This is somehow adorable.
Without thinking, Catherine rummaged through her bag and quietly placed an extra quill beside him. She didn't meet his gaze, but she could feel the weight of his stare, her face flushing unexpectedly. A few seconds passed, and then she heard the familiar sound of quill on parchment—the boy had swallowed his pride and resumed writing.

'I didn't exactly expect the first night I spent with a boy to be in the Hospital Wing.' – she thought with amusement, searching around for her clothes.
