"What happened?" Megan asked, hoping feeling the anxiety from her voice. "Rumor spread that you had gone home to visit family. Next thing we know, Hannah finds you in the prefects bath...practically unconsious. Where were you?"
Megan reached out and placed her hand on the bed. She wanted to move it further, to touch him to reassure herself he was actually there, but she held back.
Zach drained the glass, slammed it down on the nightstand. There. He felt nominally better.
"I don't know," he said honestly. "I didn't go to visit family. I would've told you, left you a note or something. My parents were here last night though, wanting to know what happened. My mother's about ready to drag me and Vivian home, I think."
He frowned. "Last thing I remember, I was doing some Slytherin outreach in the library, Wednesday night. Then I woke up, all dirty and sick in the prefect's bath, my head in Hannah's lap."
Megan felt a smile creep to her lips, the first she felt all day, when Zach mentioned waking up in Hannah's lap. But she pushed the thought aside, the focus on more important things.
"Slytherin outreach? You actually tried that nonsense?" Megan shook her head in disapproval. "Obviously someone didn't like your sense of humor, because you've just been missing for the last five days with no recollection of where you've been. The strange part though, is that Wanye said he say you on Friday at the Halloween party..." Megan's voiced trailed off. "If that wasn't you, than who was it?"

"Hey." His throat felt very dry. "We can't keep doing this, yeah? It's only November and I'm in hospital wing again."
He fumbled around on the nightstand, looking for the glass of water Madam Pomfrey had left for him.
