First day of animagus class.
An Owl came to pick us up earlier than usual, and of course i didn’t hear a thing, even if apparently, “the damn creature screached and flew around our bedroom, making a bloody noise” as James described it. Still slept like a baby. Anyways, i woke up cause James, bubbled my head in a water bubble. I’m telling you, waking up basically drowning is fucking shitty, but James always finds a way to surprise me with new atrocius ways to wake me up every morning. I’m going to spare the details for convenience. Lily always tells me that i have to be patient with him, well that’s because she doesnt wake up with devil peppers in her fucking underwear! Anyways I managed to get to class not too late and we spent half the day connecting with nature and stuff, it was very nice especially after that brutal wake up, i needed some space. After that i had lunch with the guys and we shared our expiriences. “I had to run in the dark forest for half the morning. Half the fucking morning!” James sayed still slightly huffing. I carefully removed a little branch that was stuck in his hair and he desperately pointed at it “see? They are everywhere.” he sayed, being the drama queen he is. “well for me it wasn’t that bad.. i got to play with puppies today!” Sirius said as James groaned as a response, I smiled. I mean, Sirius, playing with puppies? Fucking adorable. “I got to meditate and i tried levitation today” i said as James sobbed. “why you all got to do fun stuff? I’m here, running away from beasts, and you are here playing with dogs and flying? What kind of shit is this?” James whined. We called for Lovely Lily to soothe her poor boyfriend, because only she can do it.
After some resting we all decided to practice quidditch, we had only one match left to win the Quidditch Cup, and it was against Slytherin. They are the second best after us of course, even tho we barely won last year against Ravenclaw. Anyways, got my gear on and im running to save my life because i’m late again. Fortunately i’m a good runner and i arrive only a minute late in not desperate conditions. Our captain still shook his head when he saw me, running against him in quidditch gear. “you good?” he asked me, “yeah, sure” i said huffing and a little bit red on the face “you’re lucky you have stamina, Azul. Alright, so…” he started explaining our tactics and then we started practicing. Sirius was basically glowing. He was grinning and smiling all the time and he played so beautifully that it was mezmerising. We were in a good mood today so practice was perfect. We relaxed for a bit and i decided to fly to the canteen to get us orange juice, and while i was flying to the canteen, I kept thinking about Sirius at practice. He was so happy and smiley, it was such a lovely view. I got lost in daydreaming and kept fantasizing about what could have happened if only he were to like me. While thoughts were racing at speed light i almost died because i didn’t notice the wall in front of me. I dodged it with all the oxygen i had in me and fell off the broom, right in the middle of the canteen hearing a loud pop in my ankle and vairous cracks in my ribs and it was so painful i couldn’t breathe. I was left on the floor, gasping for air, my vision blurried out for a while, i heard people screaming and footsteps, but i couldn’t really connect the dots that were dancing in my visual. I was still struggling to breathe and my head was exploding, i started blacking out and i woke up in the infermery, James muttering something to the captain.. why was the captain there? “ugh.. excuse me, what happened?” i said, voice ruined and tired. James looked at me and excused himself from the captain, walking towoards me. Then he hugged me very tight and i felt like my ribs were on fire “AH- OUCH” I whined and groaned, james immediatly distanced himself from me “Sorry! Sorry..” he said. When i calmed down i asked him what was going on and he told me that while i was flying i severely broke my ankle and cracked two of my ribs. I was in awe, how could i be so fucking stupid? The quidditch match would’ve been tonight, and there I was dreaming like a sissy about something thay would’ve never ever happen. How could I be so selfish? “Elias, you’re spiraling i can see your face. You aren’t a burden or a problem and it’s not your fault that you got hurt ok? Accidents happen, you’re ok.” James told me and i felt a little better.. he always knows what to say to make me feel better.
“Actually there is a cure to broken bones.. it’s just really really painful but you might be ok in three hours, and you’d still have an hour before the match. Do you want to do it?” My eyes sparkled, i could still play and be at Sirius’ side.. i had to do it “yes, i want to do it” James seemed worried “Are you-” “yes i’m sure, i know my capibilities.” I interrupted him “fine.. i’ll go call madame pomfrey and.. i’ll stay here with you ok?” i nod and got ready. After a couple minutes Madame pomfrey and a couple of nurses walked in with restraints and a clear potion in a vile. I was scared but i had to do this, i wanted to win for Sirius. So they strap me down and i look at James, with a bit of panic in my eyes, he calmly takes my hand and whisperes something about things fixing themselves and that everything would be fine. Then the time comes, I drink the potion and they stuff my mouth with a cloth and there it hits. The pain was something i have never.felt.before. I was silent for a second because of the shock but then I let out the most bloodcurdling scream that even ghosts could envy. The pain and the overwhealming fear were too much to bare, i started screaming more and more, convulsing in pain, and the tears kept overflowing my eyes and getting in my hair. It was terrible and the thing is that it wouldn’t stop. It wasn’t stopping it kept going and going and they had to give me injectios to keep me awake. I begged them and i prayed them to stop, I called out for my mother so many times. It was like i was in hell. James was crying too, still holding my hand. He cleaned my face from the tears time to time and kept talking to me. I can’t remember anything he said, i couldn’t hear him. After an hour and a half of this continued pain, It was starting to calm down, the pain was reducing until i wasnt’t screaming anymore, i was just mumbling stuff, i couldn’t even keep my eyes open, my head was exploding, my eyes hurt too. They removed the piece of cloth from my mouth and they let me rest.
I woke up after what felt like a second and i didn’t feel any pain at all, my head and my eyes were fine, my ribs and my ankle were like new. I got down from the bed and got dressed again, walked to my room still in shock. I closed the door behind me and Sirius got up “Eli… are you ok?” I didn’t even look up, I just walked to my bed and layed down. Sirius walked up to me and layed down with me, spooning me. After a while of cuddling i finally came back to myself, and i felt sirius hugging me from behind. His soft breath on the back of my neck, his long hair on my shoulder and his arm surrounding my waist, his hand holding mine, our legs intertwined. I was feeling so peaceful, so light..we stayed like that not saying a word for what felt like an hour and then James came in and called for the both of us because the match was about to begin in 30. So we got up and ready and headed to the field. The match was intense, it was also raining and it was cold. Despite the weather I was felling electric and sirius wasn’t any different. He protected our team so well and he basically did everything, even tho he tells me the same thing. It was over and we won with james’ strike, such a beautiful catch. We were extatic and the adrenalin was runnin into us like gallopping Hippogriffs. Everyone applauded us and i felt Infinite, existing in between of everything aand nothing, just pure joy.
