Elena didn't understand. She had been with him last night. She had been with him, and he had walked her home, and she had kissed him goodnight. He had left, and everything was fine. He had told her he loved her, and she had said it back. It had been a fun evening; she hadn't even had anything to drink because she wanted to have a good time with him.

But he had walked back to Hogsmeade. She had let him walk back by himself, and somewhere between the Slytherin common room and Hogsmeade he had been attacked. Jacob was strong. Something had hurt him, which meant it had to be something awful, and she didn't want to think about what could've done that.

It didn't help that the letter had been unbelivably vague as to his condition. Her imagination was running wild. She still remembered seeing Zara in the hospital, and the thought of him being worse than she was made her want to throw up, and if Ben didn't get downstairs soon to calm her down, it was a very likely event. She kept staring at the words, as if expecting a bright, cheerful 'JUST KIDDING' to appear, but none ever did, and her stomach gave yet another unpleasant lurch.
