Fred's POV ✨

"Mr Weasley, does Miss Wood have any close friends who should be informed?" Madame Pomfrey asked while neatly rolling up some bandages at the other side of the room.

"Yes. Should I go and tell them?" I asked tiredly, exhausted from crying for over three hours straight. She nodded and told me that curfew was in forty five minutes so they can quickly visit her.

I had been so busy worrying about Jess I had barely realised the time, the sun had almost completely set.

As I entered the common room, I spotted everyone sitting by the fireplace laughing and chatting. "Oh hey Freddie! You and Jess were away for a while!" George beamed up at me, but his smile quickly dropped when he looked at my puffy eyes. "Fred what happened?" He slowly stood up, walking towards me.

"Where's Jess?" Hermione asked also standing up along with Ginny, Ron and Harry. George placed his hand on my shoulder causing me to burst into tears, "S-she's in the hospital wing. She hit her head really hard." I explained what had happened to her and how Patrick shoved her down the flight of stairs and had forced her to dance with him.

George tightly embraced me before Ginny asked me the question I was dreading being asked. "She will be okay though won't she?" They all looked at me, Hermione already beginning to shed tears.

"We can't be sure." I whispered, unable to speak any louder due to crying.

"We need to see her." Harry spoke for Hermione who was now in floods of tears along with Ginny.

As we headed into the hospital wing, Ron suddenly stopped and told us to go without him saying he had some 'unfinished business' to sort out.

We all slowed down and walked into the hospital wing and I pointed at Jess who lay on one of the beds unresponsive.

"Ah, I see you brought them to visit, you all have ten minutes then you must leave, Mr Weasley, since you seem to be the closest with Miss Wood, you may stay her for as long as you need. There is a bed that I can pull next to hers so you can stay here at nights." Madame Pomfrey smiled at all of us then went off to continue rolling up bandages,

I held onto Jess's hand and kissed her forehead. I looked up in panic when everyone gasped at me.

"Fred! You just kissed her forehead!" George said with a shocked expression plastered across his face like everyone else. "Is there something you need to tell us?" There's no point in hiding it now.

"Okay, we are dating. Jess is my girlfriend." I sighed and looked down at Jess's beautiful face. "I knew it! Ginny, give me my ten galleons." George smiled at me as he reached his hand out to Ginny who reluctantly put the money in his hands, glaring at him in the process.

"When did you get together?" Hermione asked me while stroking Jess's long brown hair. "About a month now. Remember when Patrick kissed Jess? Well I was also dating her then."

"Oh so that's why you were so-"

"Upset. Yes. But we soon made up." I interrupted Ginny "The nurse said she could have severe damage to the brain and there is a slight chance she won't make it." I began to sob once again but was calmed down by George giving me a tight hug that I really needed.

"Now that's your time up, you may come and visit her tomorrow." Madame Pomfrey ushered everyone out of the hospital wing as I stayed next to Jess.

"I'm never leaving you. I want you to know that. Even when we are both old and grey, I will still be with you. I know if you were awake right now you would probably be like, but we have only been dating for a month Freddie, but over that past month, I have had the absolute time of my life. I want to be with you forever Jess. You're my one and only." I wiped away my tears and rested my head on her chest and quietly sobbed until I slowly fell asleep.

It has been six days since Jess's injury and she still hasnt woken up. Oliver had come to visit her with his parents over the first few days but after time went on, they seemed to visit less and less. I have stayed in the hospital wing as much as i could, only going to some classes and barely eating anything due to stress. I couldnt lose her.

I sat in the chair next to her bed and finished off my potions homework. It had been more difficult recently due to me having to write all the notes down for Jess aswell, but when it comes to this situation i really dont mind one bit.

"Hey Freddie, I brought you something to eat," I looked round and saw George standing with a ham and cheese sandwich. "Any improvements?" I shook my head in response, taking a bite out the sandwich. George kneeled down next to Jess's bed and stroked her hair with his hand, he and Hermione had been coming every day to bring me my food if I didn't go to the great hall which I highly appreciated. Even if I didn't eat half of it.

"I miss you Jess, everyone does. We need you to wake up and make Freddie happy again. Make Hermione go back to her studying, Get Ron to stop beating up Patrick 24/7. He has got detention with Snape for the next four weeks!" George spoke to Jess in a calm yet needy voice and sighed. "I best be off, Angelina is waiting for me." George stood up and gave me a pat on the back before leaving.

I pulled the chair right next to Jess's bed and squeezed her hand. I did this quite often just hoping for a response or something. "I love you." I whispered to her, still holding her hand in mine. After a few seconds, I suddenly felt Jess's grip on my hand become tighter.

"Jess? Squeeze my hand if you can hear me." I said a bit louder before her hand once again tightened its grip on my hand. I looked up from her hands and up to her face. Her eyes were slowly opening causing tears of joy to roll down my face.

"Freddie," She whispered, lifting her hand up to my cheek and wiping away my tears. "Jess," I whispered back before wrapping my arms round her little body, helping her sit upright.

"How long have I-"

"Six days." I mumbled into her shoulder, I didn't want to let go but we couldn't stay hugging forever. Once we pulled apart, I just couldn't take it anymore. I cupped her face and kissed her lips softly. "I'm so glad you're awake love." I kissed her once more before letting her lie back down again. She is going to be okay. She has woken up and is okay now.
