Chapter XVII

He was not about to lose another person he loved.

Harry was thanking Merlin that the hospital wing was on the same floor as he ran through the doors.

"Madam Pomfrey!"

***

"She will be okay won't she?" Hermione sniffled, as they looked at Bailee's now still body.

"For now" Madam Pomfrey Said as she too looked at the girls body in worry.

Madam Pomfrey had always had a soft spot for the girl, ever since she has helped with the petrified students three years ago.

"For now?" Ron questioned while looking at the nurse in disbelief, even he had shed a few tears over the girl he had come to love over the years.

"Yes for now Mr. Weasley, we will know more when she wakes up, out of her Coma" Madam Pomfrey snapped.

Harry slumped further down into the chair he was seated in. Hermione let out a sob and buried her head into Ron's chest.

"WHERE IS SHE?!?!"

***

Fred and George had come out of detention that night and had expected to see Bailee, but they didn't.

"That's weird" Fred said as he looked around the corridor for their small friend.

"She never misses us leaving detention" George added confused.

"She was studying with Harry, Ron, and Hermione so maybe she lost track of time?" Fred Said also confused.

"Bailee never loses track of time" George Said suspiciously.

"You're right Georgie" Fred Said while scratching his chin as if that would help them.

"Somethings up, my baileeanator is going off" George Said.

"So is mine Georgie, so is mine" Fred Said while sharing a look with his twin.

The twins searched the third floor corridors for their friend, but alas found nothing.

"Why don't we just go borrow the map from Harry?" Fred Asked.

"Good idea Freddie" George Said while making a beeline for gryffindor tower.

"I solemnly swear that I'm up to no good" Fred and George recited together. The boys had found the fifth years dormitory and after digging through Harry's trunk they found the Marauders Map.

"Oh My Merlin" George Said.

"What?" Fred responded to his twin.

But George didn't need to respond as Fred had followed his eyes and they landed on the last place that they wanted her to be.

The Hospital Wing.

***

"WHERE IS SHE?!?!" The twins coursed as they bursted through the doors of the hospital wing, evidentially startling Madam Pomfrey and the Fifth years.

The pair ran to where the fifth years and Madam Pomfrey were surrounding and let out a shaky breath.

"What happened?" George just barley got out, choking on his words.

"She had a seizure" Hermione whispered, looking at the ground choking back another sob.

The pair of twins visibly tensed, the last time Bailee had a seizure was when her grandmother passed. She was fourteen.

"How?" Fred said, trying not to let the tears fall, but evidently failing.

"I-I don't know, she was just staring into space when I first showed up and when I went to shake her out of her daydream she just collapsed." Hermione said in a strained voice, not wanting to relieve was had just happened.

"She only has seizures when something really emotional happens to her." George Said with realization in his tone.

"You don't think?-" Hermione started, but was interrupted by the twins sharp look, Harry and Ron had no idea what happened that New Years.

"Don't think what?" Harry piped up curiously, while raising his eyebrow.

Hermione and the twins shared a look and sighed, they knew they couldn't keep it from them forever.

"Bailee and Bill um- had a fight..." Hermione started off awkwardly while fidgeting with her hands that had dried tears on them. Harry and Ron raised their eyebrows at this.

"Ok... people have fights and you don't see them having seizures" Harry responded and then winced at his particular choice of words.

Fred and George glared at him.

"Well um, Bill said called Bailee some harsh things and-" Hermione started but was interrupted by Harry and Rons furious look.

"He didn't call her a-" Harry started and this time was interrupted by Hermione's furious look.

"No!" Hermione spat harshly. "He didn't call her that, but he did call her bad enough things to make her never want to speak to him again." Hermione said in a softer tone, glancing down at her friend who had a peaceful look on her facial features.

"And we don't just think it's that" Fred said after a few minutes while looking at all of them with a sad look.

"Haven't any of you noticed how Bailee is always the one doing stuff for us? Not just our homework and favors, but she also takes on a lot of our emotions for us when we don't want to. It might have became too much for her" Fred continued on, feeling guilty.

"It's because of all of us that this happened"

***

But all hell broke loose when a raving red head, with a deathly glare ran into the hospital wing.

"WHERE IS SHE?!?!"
