XIV —— romeo, oh romeo

FIANNA'S EYES SLOWLY PEEL open some time later. She recognises the row of beds on the wall opposite her, the sterile smell of bleach mixed with the castle's constant cold smell as the school's hospital wing. She visited her brother here all of the time, back when he was a student here. But she fell unconscious in the tunnel, who would've found her...?
"Thank fuck," her brother's voice says.
Remus is sitting at the chair beside her bed, closing his book when he notices his little sister's woken up. Fianna looks at him, beginning to frown.
"Why are you here?" she says.
"Uh, because when you were discovered without a chunk of your stomach, McGonagall told Mum and Dad?" says Remus, rolling his eyes. "You're lucky Padfoot wasn't in the house when Mum rang, because he would've killed your boyfriend by now — granted I'm going to anyway, but I'm sure Padfoot would've liked to join in—"
Fianna's eyes widen. "What do you mean, they told Mum and Dad?"
"Dumbledore's talking to them right now," says Remus. "You were badly injured, Fee... If that dickhead didn't take you straight here..."
"What do you mean?" she says. "Where is he now?"
Remus groans. "Don't start."
"Why not?" says Fianna. "I left before him — his mum figured out we were there so he stayed behind, where is he—?"
"Fianna?"
Regulus sheepishly steps out into her view, like he's got his tail between his legs. His left eye is all bruised; her stomach instinctively knots, as if it hurts her seeing him in pain. What is going on? she thinks, confused by her own body's reaction.
