Maya jolted upright, feeling someone shaking her shoulders. "Maya? It's almost time for first period.."Ginny said, as Maya sat up, sniffling and blinking confusion. "Oh - Hehtchoo!" Maya sneezed."Bless you.I'm going to go better hurry up, or you'll be late for first period." Ginny called out as she left the started when she saw the time before burying her head into the crook of her elbow to for a whole day had not helped Maya in the fact, it made it even worse. Her head was still aching, if not even more now and the exhaustion she had felt last night was still everything was still there, her body had added on more pressure on her sinuses, causing her to sniffle every few seconds. Not to mention the itch in her throat had increased and her head felt heavy.
"Hehtchh!" Maya rubbed her tickling nose and sniffled. She leant on a stone wall a few feet away from charms and immediately dug her hand into her bag, scrabbling for a handkerchief as the pressure in her sinuses turned into a sneeze. Finding nothing, she sneezed into the crook of her elbow."Hethchh!"She wiped the snot off her robes and continued on her way to charms, running at a fast pace so she wouldn't be late. She sat down in a seat next to Neville."There you are!"Neville whispered. "I was wondering if you were going to miss class!"Maya smiled weakly at her brother."Overslept." She whispered back as Professor Flitwick started the class. "Today you will be studying theā¦.."As Professor Flitwick droned on about a certain charm, Maya felt her eyes go heavy and was about to face-plant on the table when Neville jabbed her in the ribs."Maya, wake up!" He hissed as Maya jerked awake and smiled guiltily at him. "Sorry." She muttered, pinched herself to keep herself awake for the rest of that is going to be a long day.
Maya was right. The day passed extremely slowly. Either Neville or Ginny had to elbow her in the ribs frequently as she fought to stay awake in class. All the information they would need for their NEWTs went sailing over her head as she fought the battle to not sneeze or cough. She hated all that unwanted attention and stares that came with sneezing or coughing as she continually interrupted the quiet lecture that everybody was giving. By dinner, Maya had had was exhausted."I'm going to head up to my room." She told Ginny as they exited Ancient Runes."I'm not that hungry."Ginny looked at her strangely but nodded anyways. "Okay, see you tomorrow!" She called as they parted.
Twenty minutes later, Maya staggered into the common room. It had taken longer for her to get here than usual because she kept stopping to sneeze. The pressure in her sinuses was now crushing and she had to breathe through her mouth, making a wheezing sound that rattled in her chest. She flopped onto her bed, coughing as she did so and fell asleep immediately.
Maya moaned as she woke up, coughing into her head pounded against her skull and the room spun whenever she tried to stand collapsed back onto her bed seconds after she stood was was no way she would be able to go to her classes a piece of parchment and some ink, she scribbled a note to Ginny.
Gin,
Since we have classes together today, I was hoping you could tell the professors I won't be in class REALLY must have not agreed with my stomach because I'm still kind of queasy and don't want to risk .Don't worry about me, I'll be fine.
Maya.
(Ps. If you can, please try and stop Draco from worrying. I'm fine.)
Once done, she sent it off with Hedwig, Harry's owl and collapsed onto her bed, curling up and drifting off to sleep.
