Here's the second chapter! Please follow, favorite and review!

Disclaimer: I (sadly) do not own Harry Potter or anything Harry Potter related.

I woke up to a pounding ache in my head. A million thoughts were racing through my head.

Where am I?

What happened?

Why does my butt hurt?

I abruptly sat up and opened my eyes, only to collapse back down onto my bed, due to the searing pain in my skull. Breathing deeply, I took in my surroundings. White sheets, thin mattress, metal bed frames. Yup, I was in the hospital wing.

"Oh, you're up! Nasty fall you had in the greenhouse. You passed out only to hit the stone hard floors and break your arm." Madame Pomfrey informed me.

It all came rushing back to me. The mandrake, the stupid watering can, the fall… and Katie's laughter. Ugh!

"How long have I been here?" I said, a bit coldly. I was still thinking about Katie.

"About six hours. I fixed your arm." Madame Pomfrey replied.

"So, do you think that maybe, just maybe, I could…" I started.

"Leave? I don't think so." Madame Pomfrey said.

Suddenly, there was a loud banging on the door. I turned to see Claire and Meg banging desperately, motioning for me to leave.

After about 1 minutes and 15.5 seconds (I totally wasn't counting), Madame Pomfrey exclaimed, "Alright. Fine! You can leave, but only because those two have been making a racket all afternoon!"

"Ok!" I said, grateful to be leaving.

"Wait! Take a dose of this potion first to help with your head." Madame Pomfrey scolded.

I took the potion (which tasted like bat droppings, by the way) and left to see Meg and Claire.

"TONKS!" Meg screamed, running over to me and squeezing me into a tight hug.

"No, not a Meg hug!" I moaned.

"Meg Hugs" were a thing we made up in second year. Basically, Meg gets a tiny, tiny bit over emotional and hugs the living daylight out of you and won't let go.

Needless to said, the hug hurt more than my accident.

After Claire helped pry Meg off me, I had them fill me on everything I missed.

"Well, after you, err, passed out Professor Sprout ran you to the hospital wing." Claire explained.

"And, while you were gone Katie kinda made fun of you. But, don't worry, I stood up for you." Meg chirped in.

"I. Hate. Her." I commented. That foul little cockroach! I could have been seriously hurt and all she did was laugh! "But, thanks for standing up for me, I guess."

Claire checked her watch. "Oh no, you just missed dinner!"

"That's okay. I'll go for a quick journey to the kitchen. See ya'll back in the common room." I replied, very much wanting to be alone.

I walked down several corridors when finally, I reached the fruit bowl portrait. I raised up onto my tip toes and tickled the pear with my finger. The pear starting giggling and the painting swung out to reveal the glorious kitchen. As soon as I set foot in the kitchen, house elves swarmed around me.

"What can we get for you, miss?" a house elf asked, bowing gracefully.

I was in such a sad mood, I really didn't care about having a healthy meal. I decided that I needed some comfort food.

"Could I have some chocolate pudding?" I asked.

Within seconds I had a large bowl of pudding and a spoon in my hand.

And there I sat, drowning my sorrows in the depth of the chocolatey goodness in my bowl.

Half an hour later, I was making my way back to the common room. It wasn't past curfew yet, but I only had ten minutes to get to my dorm. While I was walking, I noticed my hair wasn't purple anymore. It was plain brown. My hair turns back to its natural color whenever I'm overly sad. My family figured that out when I scraped up my knee from falling on the sidewalk when I was four. Suddenly, my electric blue hair turned into my normal boring shade of brown. That scared me even more then the fall. Ah, childhood memories.

Apparently, I was too caught up walking down memory lane to notice where I was going because I slammed into something or someone.

"OUCH!" I moaned. Then, I realized I slammed into a bloke from my year. His name was Ethan White.

"Oh merlin! I'm sorry!" I exclaimed, picked myself off of the ground.

"It's alright. It was my fault. I was heading to the Ravenclaw common room. Are you okay?" Ethan asked.

"Yeah." I said, awkwardly. "Well, I'm gonna get going now…umm bye." I finished quite lamely.

"Bye. I'll see you around." Ethan replied.

I continued walking towards my common room. That was very awkward. Why am I always the clumsy one? Although, Ethan did say it was his fault, which was nice because we both know it was mine. I mean, I have the clumsy reputation and everything.

I entered my common room and went up to my dorm. After changing into my nightgown, I walked over to my four post bed. Before I could climb in, I was interrupted by a voice.

"Hey Nymphadora! You took quite a fall in Herbology today. Are you okay?" Katie said, with mock concern.

"Eat slugs, Katie." I growled.

"But, then again, aren't you like the most clumsy, idiotic person in this entire school? Your weird appearance makes you even creepier. You're such a freak!" Katie snarled.

Her words hit hard, really hard. Before I came to Hogwarts, I had a muggle friend in my neighborhood. My parents warned me to keep my appearance normal whenever I was around her. But, one day I was at a sleepover with her and her friends and I got a little too excited. My hair started flashing all kinds of crazy colors and my nose kept changing shape. After they saw what happened they all laughed at me and called me rude names. It was awful.

"Leave Tonks alone!" Meg yelled. Claire was glaring at Katie with complete hatred.

I slowly crawled into my bed and drew the curtains.

I couldn't sleep. I just couldn't. Katie's words kept coming back to me. I quietly walked out of the dorm with a quill and parchment in hand. With nothing left to do I decided to write to my older cousin for advice.

Dear Black,

Today was my first day back at Hogwarts. It's not the same here without you and the marauders roaming the halls. I had a slight accident in Herbology today that involved mandrakes, the hospital wing and a broken arm. Let's just say my earmuffs did NOT stay on my head for long. That mean girl in my year, Katie, was being pretty rude to me afterwards. Called me a freak, just like my ex-muggle friend did. So, now I siriusly need your help. Any advice on how to deal with this jerk?

Sincerely,

Tonks

After I wrote my letter, I attached it to my owl, Primrose ,who happened to be perched on the window sill in my dorm. I sat, curled up on the window seat and watched my screech owl fly away, until it was nothing but a speck in the brightly lit sky.

Thank you for reading! Please review! It'll only take a few seconds….. ;) Also, I promise *holds out pinkie finger* that my next chapter will be more action filled! *links pinkie with yours*
