Curses, My Nose Fell Off!
by Topaz
A/N: Ah, the conclusion of my wonderful *cough* series. I hope, for her sake, that Eloise isn't really quite this stupid...she's almost as bad as me....
When I came to the room was empty except for a small note.
Eloise,
I waited for an hour or so, but you didn't wake up, so I had to leave. I used a Heat Charm on your soup and toast, so it's still warm. Um, you blacked out after you started bashing your head against the wall -- are you okay? I'm going to tell Madam Pomfrey, but she's really busy since the dragon Hagrid brought for Care of Magical Creatures has been mangling everyone.

I sat up and rubbed my head. It was sore.
"Lovely sight, that was," the mirror said with relish. "If you hadn't gone and banged yourself up like that I might've, you little upstart."
"You're a mirror, you can't beat me up," I pointed out.
"Just cause I'm a mirror, you assume I can't do things!" the mirror shrieked. "Discrimination!"
"Oh, bloody hell." I went into the closet and pulled my cloak over my head so I couldn't hear the mirror's ranting.
I think I fell asleep for a while, and when I woke up, I had a brilliant idea.
"I'll curse my pimples off!" I cried, sitting up and banging my head on a hanger.
"I wish you'd curse your head off," the mirror grumbled. "Snotty little brat."
I said "Lumos," and started scrambling around, looking for one of my old curse books. "Aha! Here it is!" I shoved piles of robes off of the book and held it up. "'Curses'. What a creative title."
"Well, what else would you call a book about curses?" the mirror said waspishly. "'Cucumber Tea?'"
I glared fiercely at it. "I'll turn you into a cucumber if you don't shut up." Finally I found a curse that looked it might work: the Detachment Curse.
The Detachment Curse:
Point your want at the object you desire to detach and say "Abductus". The object will detach from whatever it is attached to. Countercharm: The Magnet Charm.
"That's it!" I said, delighted. "I'll curse my pimples off with the Detachment Charm! Then by the time the others get back I'll be pimple-free again!"
"Aren't you a genius," the mirror said sourly.
I stepped out of the closet and went over to sit in front of the mirror so I could see where my wand was pointed. I positioned it carefully, covered my eyes so they wouldn't be hurt by the flash, and cried, "Abductus!"
***
Silence from the mirror. I took my hands off of my eyes and reached for my nose to see if it was still pimply.
It wasn't there.
"My nose!" I screamed, panicking. "What happened to my nose?!"
"You cursed it off, dummy," the mirror said sullenly. "Intelligent thing to do."
"MY NOSE!" I started running around the room, screaming and flailing my arms. "MY NOSE IS GONE!"
Cho and Morgan peered in; classes must've been over. "Eloise?"
"MY NOSE!"
"YOUR NOSE!" Cho shrieked in horror.
Sara walked in. "What's going on?"
"HER NOSE!" Morgan and Cho yelled.
"It's right here in front of me," the mirror said irritably. "Honestly, don't you people have brains, or did you curse those away, too? Humans these days."
My nose lay on the carpet, all alone. I leaned over and picked it up, feeling the soft cartilage under my fingers. It wasn't pimply anymore.
***
Well, Madam Pomfrey eventually fixed my nose back on, both Jeremy and I received detentions cleaning the dungeon (or Hell, as Cho and I like to call it now). He still likes to say my nose is off center, but I don't believe him. It's not off center.
Is it?
NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
THE END
*grins* Evil, aren't I? Maybe I'll write a sequel...Eloise and Jeremy's detention. That might prove interesting, at least for me, sadist that I am. Anyway, hope you liked it!
