Waiting for News (Sethia)

[payton]

He didn't see her at first, and he tried to roll over when he heard his name. He recognized her voice and smiled reaching for her hand. His mind was sill covered with a thick fog, but he remembered what happened before he had fallen asleep, at least to some extent.
"Better...my head still hurts....but its...better."
There was a sharp pain along one of his ribs and he moved against it, and he had an odd feeling it was regrowing itself, though he wasn't quite sure why he knew thats what it was.
He stayed quiet for a moment, trying to figure out what to say, and make sense of something he was thinking. He remembered parts of what they had talked about before he fell asleep, mainly the last bits. He remembered her telling him that they loved eachother, and her bracelet...they had talked about her bracelet, but everything else seemed lost in the fog again, and he hated that.
"Sethia...tell me something, Anything I don't remember."

Sethia smiled at Payton as he took her hand. It felt so good to just be able to do that, the thought that she might not have been able to anymore was still frightening to her. A life without Payton…impossible. She rubbed her hand over his forehead and through his hair, “That’s good, you’ll be good as new in no time,” she said trying to be reassuring. However much she was trying to make him feel better, she wasn’t feeling that great about it herself, in fact she was so scared and nervous that she could hardly hold it in, but she had to for his sake.

She was there with him, her mind focused on him alone. How could she think of anything else? Payton meant so much to her and this event was making it even more apparent to her than ever before. If something had happened to him, she didn’t know if she could have coped with it.

She smiled as he said her name; it was a wonderful sound, the most wonderful sound to her ears. Something he didn’t remember? There was so much he didn’t remember. Where to begin? “Well…” she said slowly, “I’m Sethia Wagner. I’m in Hufflepuff and so are you,” she said, decided to start with something easy. “We are at school, our school, Hogwarts. It’s…it’s a magic school,” she continued. She looked at him waiting to see his reaction. “Do you remember any of that?” she asked.

His eyes closed for a moment, but soon opened again and he looked over at her. It was strange, but somehow, everything felt better when she was here. After a moment, she began to slowly tell him things about his life, and he thought about her words for a moment. He remembers some of it. She had told him some of it already--She told him where they were, and he remembered that, even if it seemed too far away to have been just hours ago.

"Hufflepuff...yes...were Hufflepuffs...at Hogwarts. I think I remember. And were magical, Wizards and Witches. I think I remember."
He smiled at her again, relieved that he could at least somewhat somewhat remember her. He could almost feel how when he first woke up with her there. He knew that he should know her, but he didn't know why and it was the worst feeling that he could recall.
"Thank you. I don't think I said that before, but thank you - for staying here with me."
