After A Fall [Closed]

[theboywhodied]

Everything hurts, Cedric thought, but no broken bone or bruise was as painful as the guilt he felt at the moment. Much to his displeasure, he'd been admitted to med bay immediately upon delivering Sirius, and they'd been placed together. Even worse, there was no chance that he'd be discharged before the older man woke up.

...It's no wonder I walked straight to my death. If I'm going to be horrifically stupid, I can't be taking anyone with me.

He'd managed to win the right to prop himself up against the wall after a tussle with a nurse, using his vantage point to look fearfully over at Sirius every few minutes. What could Cedric say? There was no explanation other than 'hello, I'm an idiot, I'm sorry.'

And he'd have to swallow the consequences of that.

It wasn't long before Sirius awoke. He was sore but aside from a bruise on his back where he'd hit the floor (fortunately he hadn't hit head first), he was fine.

Sirius stretched his limbs before slowly sitting up. There were no surprise pains. As he looked around his gaze immediately fell on Cedric. So much for protecting him.

"All right, Cedric?" Sirius asked, biting back an 'I told you so.'
