Disclaimer: See Chapter One…

A/N: Wow… Never thought I'd work on the same story twice in one day… Well, guess I was just inspired… I know I said there would be rebellion but, it might not be in this chapter I'm afraid… But, very soon, as soon as possible but, LESS SADNESS!!! WOOP!!! *snorts* Here we go!!!

Hard Thinking and a Key

            Propping my head up with my hands; my elbows on my knees, I let the tears flow free. "I'm so stupid!!!" I thought "Why didn't I just give the girls a rating even if it wasn't truly what I thought of him? Oh my God!!! I couldn't actually like Percy could I?" I sat up straight at the thought. "Oh no, please God no!!!" I pick up the pillow from behind me and brought to my face before letting out a loud enraged scream. "God, I'm only eleven I'm too young to be thinking about boys… they've got… cooties!!!" I finished with a snicker though the tears continued to come.

"Everyone must hate me so much." I whispered to myself out loud. The sound of my own voice saying it was even more depressing.

"I don't hate you." Came a female voice through the curtain "And I don't think the rest of the girls hate you either."

            The drapes slowly opened a crack and in peeped Penny. "Hey Am."

"Go away! You caused this." I shouted at her tears of sorrow turning to those of anger.

Penny became saddened, "I'm really sorry Am. I honestly didn't know that it would hurt you that bad."

"Well, it did! Congratulations!!!  Hope you're happy that my life is ruined now!" I quickly moved from sitting position and move back the drapes swiftly moving passed Penny and once again running regardless of the pain.

"Am, Wait" shouted Penny. "You've forgotten your timetable." She finished, holding up my timetable.

            I blushed embarrassed as I ran back to her and grabbed my timetable. "Thanks I guess. But, that doesn't mean I've forgiven you." I said cold anger enveloping every word.

            I turn my back to her. The pain in my back kept getting worse and worse. Before I knew it, I was down by the giant squid's lake trying to forget everything that just happened. My breath came in rasping gasps due to my having ran all the way from the common room and because the injury to my back was becoming once again painfully obvious and worse than ever before. It hurt so bad that my vision began to blur. Having nothing to keep my mind off it, not even my anger or sadness, my vision continued to blur until everything went black and the last noise I heard was a loud thud.

~**~**~**~**~

            My mind could only catch snippets of things as I came in and out of consciousness.

"Oi, are you alright?" came a voice that was somewhat rugged. I tried to open my glazed over eyes and saw a fuzzy picture of a man in shabby clothes, a beard and shoulder length brown hair standing over me, high over me. He must have been very tall.

~**~**~**~**~

            I heard the crackling of a fire and felt the cold nose and short fur of what seemed like a dog. "I must be inside somewhere." I thought as everything went black again.

~**~**~**~**~

"You say you found her like this Hagrid?" said an endearing old wizard voice. "Dumbledore!" I thought.

"Yes." The grubby voice said.

"Very odd… did something attack her?" came his voice again.

"I'm reckoning not, sir." The man Dumbledore had identified as Hagrid said.

"Very odd indeed" Dumbledore commented. "We should get her up to Madam Pomfrey."

"Yes sir!" replied Hagrid kindly.

~**~**~**~**~

            I awoke to the violent ache of pain. My back hurt with every small movement and my brain reeled as I tried to grasp for any sign of where I was.

            The room was very bright and light shone cheerfully through the window down onto my bed. The sheets were the crisp, clean color of white and the air was so pure that it barely carried a smell.

"Well, Good morning my dear." came a pleasant voice. "I didn't think you'd be awake for awhile now."

"I wish I wasn't!" I managed to mumble.

"Well, if I had a back injury as bad as yours I wouldn't want to be awake either. You must have taken quite the nasty spill for that much bruising to have occurred." The nurse said in amazement. "Well, I'm Madam Pomfrey and if you need anything just let me know." She smiled sweetly at me and then went back to work.

"Um… Madam Pomfrey?"

"Yes, dear"

"If you don't mind my asking… Why are you being so nice to me?" I asked curiously.

"Well, my dear. I'm a nurse, it's my job." She responded simply.

I gave her a weak smile and then began to stare at the ceiling.

"So, it is true then. I am completely alone." I thought miserably. "But why… I didn't do anything wrong. I had to kiss Percy, I had no other choice. It was a dare. It's not like I liked it. But, then again I didn't hate it either. Actually, I didn't anything it." I finished this thought with a snicker. "It's all Penny's fault. If it wasn't for her Percy wouldn't think I like him. Oliver also wouldn't feel weird around me like at any moment I might jump him and Garrick… Well, Garrick wouldn't hate me for all eternity. Then again…How was I supposed to know that Garrick likes me? Wait a minute, what if Garrick doesn't even like me? And Oliver's just plain being stupid. Why should I have to suffer because they're all stupid? SCREW THEM AND SCREW THAT!!! I'm getting revenge!"

            I stupidly tried to get up but, after moving only a single muscle a thread of pain strung through my body. "ACK" I shouted out loud.

"Oh my!" came Madam Pomfrey's concerned voice "Are you alright."

"Yeah, I just moved the wrong marfin' way."

"Marfin'?" question Madam Pomfrey.

"Yes, it's what I say when I'm trying to be polite and not say fu-…Uh… the 'F' word." I explained hoping she wouldn't get mad.

"Oh, I see. Well, I'm glad you're trying to restrain yourself in my presence. I've heard that you have been known to have quite the bad habit of swearing. Perhaps you should try to work on that while you are in my care."

"What the fuck's that supposed to mean? Um…Wait… Never mind… I just figured it out for myself." Madam Pomfrey looked scandalized even though I had taken it back.

"Great Am, piss off the lady who changes your bandages, REAL smart." I scolded myself in thought. "I guess revenge is going to have to wait till I get better. But, at least they'll never see what's coming to them."

            I was stuck in bed for nearly a week in half, nursing my back, back to at least semi health.

"Please Madam Pomfrey! Let me go. I'm restless and I want to go have some fun. Even, God forbid, got to classes!"

"NO! You get back in that bed. I'm not letting you go until tomorrow at the earliest and that's final!" She said with finality.

"But, I'M FINE!"

"GET BACK IN BED AND DON'T ARGUE WITH ME!"

            Surprised that I was able to get that much of a rise out of a nurse who had been so mild tempered for most of my stay surprised me and I quickly returned to my bed. Having nothing better to do, I dosed off into a deep slumber.

~**~**~**~**~

            "Am… Aam…" A voice came, trying to wake me up, it seemed and failing miserably. "Am!" the voice said getting restless.

            I had thought it was just my ears that were making the voice seem groggy. I was mistaken. As my eyelids slowly flipped open, they fell upon the blurry figure of a person. One that I assumed I REALLY did not want to see in my state.

"Whoever you are, just go away!" I shouted irritated at the large blurry figure.

            An annoyed grunt broke through my barrier of restful silence. "Fine" the voice said "I'll leave this with the nurse then. Remember to ask her for a key that was left by someone."

"Yeah… Sure… Whatever." I answered in a non-committed tone as I buried my face into my pillow, resting in an awkward position that hurt my back. Though I didn't even remotely feel tired, in the position I was in, I easily fell asleep.
