Felix stands up and walks over to Leona, looking down at her. The wind has picked up a bit, but she only fell over because she was already off-balance most likely. His hair was sort of pissing him off, blowing everywhere, even though it didn't go in his eyes, it was still annoying.

"Well, that was...wind." He was going to say 'pathetic', but that would probably make her mad, and
As much as she could probably get up by herself, if the rock made a cut, it could bleed a lot, because head wounds do bleed a ton, especially if the person moves around too much. He doesn't feel like dealing with that, so he stretches out a hand to help her up.

"Is your head okay?" he says, his hand still out. Then he adds, hurriedly "I mean, probably not, you literally hit your head on a rock, but... yeah.".
Felix isn't concerned per se, but he doesn't want to accidentally get blamed for shoving her or something.
Growing up, his grandma had always told him to help others, and it was also the Scout promise, so he can't really just leave her by herself, between his pride and his brain.

"Um...well kind of." Leona slowly gets up ignoring help from Felix. She reaches to feel her head and when she looks at her hand it has some blood on it. It must have bled. She was expecting that when she fell on a literal sharp rock! Leona could probably walk herself to the Hospital Wing but that would be stupid to try to walk alone.

"Can you walk me to the...Never mind" Leona stops herself from asking guessing Felix wouldn't walk her. Felix is somewhat of a jerk to Leona so why would he help her? He might. She gets up feeling like she will die of being humiliated. She fell over by being off balance, her own fault.

Leona looks around and notices no one nearby but she doesn't know if anyone saw her fall. "Did you see anyone...when I fell?" Leona asks Felix kindly. Why would there be anyone here right now? Leona didn't take his hand for many reasons, one kids thinking they were together, second reason she doesn't like Felix enough to accept his help when she can help herself.

Leona eventually managed to sit next to a tree and start to ignore the aching pain on her head.

"Plenty of people 'round here. These are the school grounds. However, I don't think that any were paying attention to you, if that's what you're asking." Felix responds. It's pretty rude to ignore someone if they're offering a hand, no matter what you personally think, you should probably accept help where you can get it.
If you turn down help that is offered, over and over again, soon enough, no one will offer help at all. Felix's dad had often said that. It still rings true.
Even if you're fully capable of doing it yourself, accept help once in a while, or there'll be no help to accept. Exhibit A, yours truly, Felix Victor.

He talks again, suddenly and somewhat sternly "And I'm walking with you to the Hospital wing-" emphasis on with. "-if you faint half way, you need someone who can call a professor." he doesn't really know why he's helping, but he doesn't need another enemy or a tag along later, so he might as well help- follow through with what he started.

Does he operate by ulterior motives? Maybe. Is he legitimately concerned for Leona? Maybe.
Honestly, he doesn't really know. He's bored, and Felix will do many things when he's bored. Such as this.

"Why, so you don't get in trouble?" Leona says a little more loud than she should have. "Why are you suddenly being so nice?" She looks at him guessing he's probably just doing it to not get in trouble or get yelled at. Leona kinda hopes he does get yelled at later. She slowly gets up again ignoring the help from Felix but soon stops to lean on a tree.

She never gets lightheaded much but she also has never got a rock jabbed in her head! "Fine I'll let you help. But if you start hearing rumors about us it's your fault!" Leona yells back at Felix. She leans on the tall tree for a while wanting one of her fellow Hufflepuff students to maybe pop out of nowhere and help her to the Hospital Wing. They probably won't even if they see her. Leona guesses she'll be scarred for life after this moment and never feel safe around rocks.

Leona looks around again hoping no one is nearby but also wanting someone to come by and help. Maybe a professor would be quite nice but there's no one nearby that looks like they would help. She looks one last time but then slowly closes her eyes hoping it's a dream and she's in her dorm and just waking up. Most likely not though as she soon opens them and she's still sitting below the tree waiting for Felix to maybe help her.

"First of all, why would I get in trouble? Second of all, I'm not 'suddenly being nice'. And third of all, people start making rumours about you if you even talk, so it doesn't really matter.". He raises him hand and mocks surrender. 'No need to yell.". He hates being yelled at, no matter who is yelling or what the yelling's about, but Felix can't stop the half-smile that shows up on his face. This is such a ridiculous situation.
He also feels a bit indignant. He's used to being judged, but not flat-out accused of just doing something to avoid getting in trouble.
And her mention of rumours makes him feel a bit sad too. At least three of his friendships with guys when he was younger had ended because of rumours and judgement about a girl and a boy being friends. Part of the reason that he originally started letting people assume that he's a boy was because of that.
People are stupid, that certainly can't be denied by anyone. Humans are probably the dumbest species, and are way too concerned over other people's relationships. Also way too concerned with other people's everything, really. The absolute peak of nosiness.

"Well I don't know maybe because the teachers might think you pushed me?" Leona quickly says answering Felix's question. "Well you may not care though because you seem to always break the rules. Also don't go on telling me I was also past curfew but I didn't see the time." She tries to make it so Felix can't make fun of her anymore. "Well are we going to the Hospital Wing or not?" Leona gestures to the direction towards the school.

She doesn't immediately get up but waits for Felix to answer. Will he answer or will he not. Just then Leona remembers what she was going to ask him. "Why don't you...not like me?" Leona says somewhat already knowing the answer. I hit him with a book she thinks. But he should maybe forgive her. That would be the proper thing to do. But Felix doesn't seem very proper. Leona looks at Felix and thinks she is possibly getting light headed.

Leona tries to sit up properly but gets more and more lightheaded but doesn't faint like most kids might. Well she thinks most kids probably would have fainted by now. She's never fainted before in all her years but has really only once and a while felt lightheaded.

"I don't 'always break the rules',-" Felix's tone is a little colder now. He hates being told that he 'breaks a lot of rules', 'lies a lot' or 'is very rude'. "-and you need to sit still and stop talking for a moment. The more you move around and exert yourself, the more dizzy you'll get, and the more it'll bleed. Don't be stupid, just listen, and please, stop yelling. We'll walk in a minute." he ignores her other words.

Felix adjusts his bag over his shoulder, fidgeting for literally no reason. He plays with the bracelet on his left arm. It's just a simple black and orange paracord bracelet, but he likes to twist it around and slide it up and down his forearm. He used to annoy people or get made fun of at school for that habit, like many of the other small habits he had, like shaking his leg, braiding string or his hair when he's bored, tapping his fingers or pencil on the desk, and tapping his pen on his lip. He sometimes stands completely still for ages, but other times he can't even keep his hand still for more than ten seconds.

He sighs quietly. "'kay, let's go.if you feel like you're gonna faint, grab my arm." he offers his hand (again) to help Leona up.

"But..." Leona stopped because exactly what Felix had said happened. She started to feel a bit dizzy and then just continued to sit there and wonder how long until Felix would let her get up. She just wanted to get back to her dorm and rest but she doubted that Felix would let her go that far. He shouldn't even be caring about her. Also he ignored her other questions. Maybe she should ask him again if they ever get friendlier. If we do. Leona thinks.

She looks at Felix staring at him like saying 'can we go yet?' But she doesn't say anything because she guesses that Felix will just tell her not yet. That's what most people would do to her. Leona has a bad habit of noticing what someone is fidgeting with and immediately notices Felix's bracelet. "What's...ow..." A slight pain in Leona's head stopped her from talking. "I...need...to sit for...a bit longer." Leona looks at Felix again not accepting his hand.

Leona sits for a few more minutes. She looks at the trees nearby imagining what it would be like to be a tree. She thinks it would be amazing unless you were to be cut down.Leona soon tries to stand up by taking Felix's hand and eventually gets up and tries to get Felix to get going.

Felix lets Leona use his hand to get up and then pulls it away. A small twinge goes through his wrist. he twisted it the other night, sleeping funny, and it still hurt once in a while, much to his annoyance.

He stays close as he walks back to the castle, in the direction that would get them to the hospital wing. "C'mon, you can't just go back to your dorm, you have to get it checked by Nurse Sabos." he says, and his tone is a bit less cold now, though still not openly friendly. Leona's obviously trying to get him to go faster, and he is quite happy to do just that. He would like to be out of this weird experience already.
He slows down how fast he's walking, though, knowing that she probably wouldn't be able to keep up, what with her already slow walking plus her head... injury? Whack, maybe? Felix doesn't think that it counts as a proper injury.
"Would you rather fly or teleport?" Felix attempts to start some sort of conversation. He's really bored, and it's kind of awkward to walk in silence. He hasn't exactly been nice to Leona, and he knows that. Not that he cares about being nice... not really.

"Well, I mean...we can already fly on our brooms we get for Flying class. Teleport." Leona says confused. Why would Felix have asked her a question, when she had really been asking most of the questions. What will he say next. She thinks. Is he trying to start a conversation? Leona really tried to answer with her head still hurting. She really didn't like the fact she had to go to the Hospital Wing. She just tries to walk slowly but somewhat speeds up when she notices how far away from the castle they were.

Leona didn't want to say anything when her head really started to hurt so she just looked down. Leona looked ahead after a bit but didn't at all look at Felix in fear of what he would say. They were getting a bit closer to the castle, when Leona felt really lightheaded but ignored it. She was right next to the castle when she went to grab Felix's arm but missed. "I'm going to faint, I think." Leona slowly said stumbling with her words. She looked at Felix finally but didn't really notice much except his bracelet he had been fidgeting with before.

Soon everything started to go blurry in Leona's vision and she saw only complete darkness.
