When they got back to the castle, Reese told Sin that he was going to the hospital wing, and that Jackie should be there, if he wanted to drop by.
The truth was, Jackie has not been the first reason he wanted to go to the hospital wing. There was the gash on Kristen's head that worried him, even if she said it was all right. So he turned to her, telling her that he was taking her and wouldn't take no for an answer. He needed to be sure she was all right.
The hospital wing was packed, but Reese managed to find a couple of chairs. "I think you're okay, Cupcake, so we'll just wait a moment, all right?"

Kristen sighed. She was was attempting to protest against going to the hospital wing. Reese was being stubborn. It was just a stratch and she was going to be just fine, nothing huge. It wasn't as if her head was cut wide open.
Of course, she ended up surrendering whenever Reese said that he wasn't going to take no for an answer. Sure, the stratch stung a little bit, but that was it, nothing serious. Kristen still held onto him, part of her scared that if she let go, he would run off and go back toward Hogsmeade. She knew that in a day or so, they would be back to teasing each other relentlessly, but for right now, she didn't care about that.
Whenenver they sat down, Kristen still held onto Reese's hand. "I'm alright Reese. I promise. It's just a stratch. There are more people in here that really need more attention than I do. It's nothing serious, honest."

She took Liam's hand and the two headed back to the Hospital Wing. When they arrived, it was busier than when they left. On the other end of the Wing she saw her mother consoling Cyrus. Hayden was bustling around, helping Madame Pomfrey with patients. Her dad and brothers weren't back yet.

"I know you're fine," Reese said, his eyes sort of wide as he looked around the hospital wing. He agreed with her that there were people here in greater need, but he still wanted someone to look at her.
"It will slow down soon, Kristen, and you'll be quick. I just want to be sure, all right?" He turned his eyes back to her and smiled gently. "And as soon as they give you the okay, I'll let you run away, okay?" He was glad that she wasn't fighting him too much. He cared about her more than he would ever admit, and if he let her go and there was something seriously wrong with her, he didn't know what he would do.

"Yes father," Kristen said teasingly. There was no way that she was going to win this argument. Reese was too focused on making sure that she was alright. Of course, she found it to be the nicest thing ever done.
Like Reese, there were more feelings there than she would really admit to. She admitted to Anonimus that she did like Reese, however she didn't go any further than that. "And alright. Just to keep you happy, I'll stay here and wait, as long as you don't go anywhere. If you go somewhere I go to." Kristen squeezed his hand gently as she looked up to him. She became comfortable in her chair and leaned her head on his shoulder. It was going to be awhile, so she might as well be completely comfortable, right? "Thanks again Reese Cup."

Reese chuckled and pulled her into his arms and against his chest when she called him Father. He would take whatever teasing she could dish out, just as long as she was okay. He didn't even mention her nickname for him. None of it really seemed to matter at the moment. Just making sure they made it through this was all that mattered.
"I'll stay here. I promise. Which means you have to stay here too." He nodded to himself, as if satisfied with this, and he thanked Merlin she hadn't been in the Three Broomsticks with him.
Which reminded him of Jackie, and he looked around, finding her on one of the beds closer to the door. She looked to be asleep, and Dean was with her. Not quite aware of it, his arms around Kristen tightened.

Kristen laughed lightly as Reese pulled her into his arms. She didn't mind it at all at the moment. Her own arms went around his middle as she rested her head on him.
She breathed in his scent, which made her feel calm. Once his arms tightened around her, Kristen did feel more safe. She was relieved that she did find him. Godric only knew what she would have done if she hadn't found him, or if he didn't find her.
"I'll stay here," she said with a smile. "Besides, even if I did attempt to run, I wouldn't get far." Kristen knew that Reese would probably catch her in no time if she even did try to run. Looking up at him, she searched his face again. "Are you sure that you're not hurt?"

Reese nodded and said matter of factly, "My legs are much longer than yours. I would catch you very quickly, and then I'd have to do something drastic like tickle you. I know you don't want that." He smiled, though she couldn't see it now, pressed into him the way she was.
He glanced down when he felt her pulling away, a questioning look in his eye. he was quiet for a moment, thinking over her question. He was covered in sweat and blood, but only the sweat was his. He was feeling guilty, and tired, especially now that the adrenaline was leaving his body, but he wasn't hurt.
"I'm fine, Cupcake. I promise."
((It just dawned on me how cute it is that their nicknames for each other both use Cup.))

"Exactly, and I don't really want to be tickled," said Kristen. She was ticklish, there was no denying that. "So I'll just stay right here."
Kristen glanced over his face again, just to check again for any cuts or anything like that. "Alright," she said meeting his eyes again. She rested her head on him again once she was satisfied that he really was fine. She did noticed that Reese was tired and she didn't want to force him to stay awake if he wanted to sleep. After a moment Kristen took in a deep breath. "Hey Reese Cup? You can go to sleep if you want to. I promise to stay right here and wake you up once they say that I can go."

"Good. I think we have a good arrangement going here, and definitely a solid understanding of each other. No running, no tickling."
He was glad that she believed him because he didn't know how he'd go about proving that he wasn't hurt. He just wanted all of this to be over, and he wished he could take her away from the hospital wing.
"No way. You'd let me sleep for five minutes then wake me up and tell me it's been an hour." Reese smiled lightly at her, letting her know he was teasing. Despite being tired, he shook his head. "I'm awake. But if you need to sleep for a few minutes, go ahead. I'm not going anywhere."

She gave a scoff at his teasing. "I can't believe you don't trust me," she said with a smile playing on her lips. "Plus, I wouldn't do that to you, at least not today."
Kristen rested her head on him again as she placed her hand on his chest. "I don't really need to go to sleep. I'm pretty much wide awake, its you who looks tired." She was more worried about him than she was herself. She knew that he was attempting to keep going, but she wouldn't hold it against him if he went to sleep for a little while.

Hayden helped another student with a few quick incantations and let them rest. Madam Pomfrey were running around attempting to help the other injured students whenever he noticed a boy bringing in a blonde headed woman. He took her to be a teacher, but nevertheless, Hayden ran over. "Let's get her on this bed," he said helping the boy. Hayden did hear that she was burned, but he wasn't sure of any other injuries, but he was going to make sure that he covered everything. He murmured a few incantations to make sure that the burn was starting to be healed. "I'll be right back with a potion." Hayden disappeared to where he noticed that Madam Pomfrey kept her potions. Once he grabbed the potion, he hurried back out to the woman. "Can you hold her head up gently while I get her to drink this?" Ashton followed the instructions Hayden laid out automatically happy to have someone tell him what to do that seemed to know what he was doing, he was careful getting the professor on the bed and held her head up like Hayden asked. He didn't say much other than "easy" or "here we go" while he was trying to help Professor Long, the truth was after such a huge tragedy he didn't know what to say, and he was half sunk in turmoil over the images that wouldn't release his mind. |

Natasha had the strongest urge to just run to her room and never leave again, but a Davenport didn't hide, and she was a Davenport. Besides she had to see if Ashton was alright and make sure Devon had been no where near the attack, she wasn't even going to think of the masked man who saved her and then kissed her with all the rapture she had been reluctant to give him. She wasn't going to think about the way he tasted or how it felt to be in his arms with that lazily possessive hold on her wrist. She wasn't going to think about how weak her knees got then and were getting now just thinking about it. No, she was stronger than that, she needed a purpose, she needed anything to get her mind off of that mystery man whom she would kill if she ever saw him again. With that in mind she headed to the hospital wing to keep an eye out for Ashton.
When she saw him she had an unnatural urge to rush up to him and hug him. That was certainly unnatural for her, the ice queen. Instead she somewhat shyly waited for him to finish what he was doing but she kept her eye on him terribly happy that he hadn't been hurt.
Later she would analyze how dramatic she was being right now, but for the moment she was letting a few things slip past her guard.

When Ashton was finished with the professor, since there was no more he could do he took a look around the place finally and his heart sank somewhat, the place was quickly getting full and he knew that there were more on their way.
His eyes trailed across finally landing on someone familiar, "Natasha!" he whispered a second before he was in front of her and pulling her in his arms. They were forgetting themselves for the time being apparently because she tentatively put her arms around him as well.
"Are you alright?"

"I'm fine." she answered lowering her eyes, "I did the brave thing.." she said with slight derision, " I hid, then ran." Not that she expected much better from herself she did only care about herself after all, but it was hard getting the screams out of her ears and she wondered at her coward's decision of saving herself, not that she would ever be confused with the word noble.
As Ashton tightened his hold and chuckled at her, he assured her that she did what was right, and that anyone would have done the same.
"You didn't." she said looking at the professor, " Isn't that professor Long?"
He nodded, but seeing as there was nothing else to do for the Professor he thanked Hayden and nodded towards the outside carting Natasha with him. On their way out they saw someone else being escorted in and Natasha shuddered soon there wouldn't have been any room for either of them to stay in there, somehow they were going to have to get these people to Mungos.

They arrived en masse for one girl and seeing how crowded the place was Christine was worried that they wouldn't be able to take Sam. She was still so dreadfully worried about Caleb, and her cousin who wasn't responding but seemed to be growing paler. Nicolas hadn't left her side practically since they were on school grounds and they didn't have to worry about further attacks.
At the door Julian stepped back and the thought was going through all of their minds that some other arrangements were going to have to be made the school was quite full. Julian offered to owl Edward and pack some of Sam's things.
Nicolas hadn't taken his eyes off Sam and laid her on one of the beds. She was far too still far too pale and he was terrified he was losing her again the other people in the room were invisible to him.
Christine just stood by and watched she was frightened and she didn't like the feeling, she was usually never frightened, she usually only had to worry about herself not others, she was getting a taste of her own medicine she supposed in worrying others so much about her.
What good would it have done to scream for help? Over all the chatter in the room and everyone so ill would anyone come? She felt so hopeless what could they do for Sam?

Lina swore she couldn't breathe when she got that note from Amandine. Even though it said he would be all right, her heart still skipped a beat and she lost her breath.
It took her all of two seconds to call for her brother, telling him what happened and asking him to watch Mara. She didn't want her daughter in the hospital wing if it was, as she suspected, in a state of chaos. If Cyrus was too bad off, she would bring her later.
With Mara taken care of, Lina apparated as far as she could, and ran across the grounds. She was out of breath when she came into the hospital wing, her eyes searching for him. She ignored everyone else around his bed. "Cyrus?"

Cyrus closed his eyes as his mother said everything was going to be alright. He had hoped Lina would be there, he wanted to see her, wanted to hold her. Keeping his eyes closed, he hoped it would do to avoid any unwanted conversation. At the moment all he could think about was how close he had come to losing everything important to him, how he nearly died without Lina truly knowing how he felt about her.
Hearing an all too familiar voice, his eyes flew open and he extended his hand weakly in the direction of the voice. "Lina.....baby, come....here." His voice still weak, he mustered all the strength he had, for what he needed to tell Lina before it was too late.

Lina was shaking slightly, and there were tears in her eyes when she heard his voice. For the moment, for right now, she didn't notice his cousins, though she would have to thank Ama later, and she didn't notice the daggers Cara was staring at her.
She was right next to his bed, her hands moving to gently frame his face, and then she took the hand he had held out to her.
"I'm here, Cyrus," she told him. "You're okay." He had to be okay.

As Lina came into view, Cyrus forced himself to smile as she approached. Her hands sent an all too familiar tingling sensation with each and every touch, he had missed Lina and today he had nearly lost the chance to ever see her again. "I'm...okay." Pausing to take a few breaths, he continued to stare at her, the rest of the room disappearing. "Lina, there is something I need to say..."
With the last words, a small groan of pain escaped his lips as well, the potions were working but slowly due to the extensive damage.
