Ch. 5 - Concoctions, Curses And Cures
Lily turned around to see Bailey hastily shoving the things she had been using into the pillowcase. She bent down beside her and began to help. Picking up three small thin phials, she noticed they weren't filled with grains of some powder or herb. Instead, each was filled with the same deep black liquid. Lily turned around to see Ashlyn and the Headmaster talking quietly about something. She turned back around to find Bailey holding out her hand to Lily. Understanding, Lily placed the phials in the palm of her hand, and watched as Bailey stuffed them in the pocket of her robes, which she had chosen to wear over muggle clothing.
"Don't tell Ashlyn." Bailey said.
"What are those?" Lily whispered.
"Potions. I found them in the book." She explained quickly.
"What do they do?" Lily asked quietly.
Bailey pulled the book out of the bag and flipped to page 387. "Here." She pointed to a potion recipe. "There all the same."
"'The Concoction of Healing'" Lily read aloud. She raised an eyebrow at Bailey who urged her to read on. "'The Concoction of Healing is made from a blend of water, herbs, regular kitchen spices and a drop of blood from the person intending to use the potion. As a warning: This potion must be brewed before the injury occurs. An ancient potion known to heal some of the worst cuts, scrapes, gashes, and bruises almost instantly upon applying the potion. While it may not be anywhere as near as powerful as Nina MacLeo's ancient healing methods, it is known to get it's job done. Often carried by those prone to accident or even those accustom to battle.'" Lily paused and looked up. "You made this?"
Bailey shrugged. "I may hate potions, but it doesn't mean I'm no good at it." Seeing the look in Lily's eye, she pulled out around nine phials filled with the black liquid. She read the labels on them and separated three from the batch and handed them to Lily. "Here. These three phials are made from your blood, and will therefore work on only you."
A thought crossed Lily's mind. "But-"
"But where did I get the blood?" Bailey voiced for her. Lily watched her rummage through the pillowcase and pull out a familiar tool. "Some muggle devices are amazing. Scalpels, I believe they call them. So sharp you won't even feel them slice your own skin. I cut you on your finger, there." She explained, pointing at a thin cut on the tip of her index finger. Looking closer, Lily noticed it appeared to be vanishing. She opened her mouth to speak, but Bailey answered first. "I already applied the potion to it, as well as to Bailey and myself. I want you to keep them. They were to be Christmas gifts, but I think I'll secretly send around three-dozen to each of the marauders instead. They seem to need them quite often."
"So that's what you've been doing all day? Making nine small phials of a healing concoction? How long will it take you to make the Marauders that many?" Lily asked, astounded, as she pocketed the phials.
"Yes, Miss Jordan. How do you intend to do so? I believe classes start up soon." They heard Dumbledore say from behind them.
The two girls laughed nervously as they turned and looked up at Dumbledore and Ashlyn. Lily silently cursed herself for not checking on where those two were.
"And what reason do you have to believe I might not just take away all those ingredients?" Ashlyn asked.
"Because I made you some to?" Bailey asked hopefully, removing three of the phials from her pocket and holding them out in front of herself.
"Oh you did? Really? That's so kind!" Ashlyn exclaimed, as she took the phials from Bailey. "Wait. Do they work?"
"Almost perfectly. I think I'll have them working a bit faster once I get some practice in." Bailey responded proudly. "Maybe even better by the time I get them to the Marauders."
Lily felt like she should be helping. "Oh yes, mine healed all most instantly. Not even a mark left."
Ashlyn smiled and pulled the two girls up into a standing position. "Come on. It's nearly dinner time and I'm famished!"
"Sure!" Bailey and Lily exclaimed.
"But you know Ashlyn. you really should tell James, and maybe even Remus." Lily pointed out as they started walking.
Ashlyn looked at her like she was crazy. "You're kidding me, right?" Lily shook her head 'no' and Ashlyn frowned. "Don't you get it? Xander supposedly killed his father. James has probably been seeking revenge on me and anyone else in my family. If he found out. I don't even want to think about what he'd do to me."
Lily nodded, understanding dawning all over, and so they continued on.
Quickly, the three girls began to file out the portrait hole. Ashlyn stepped out, then Lily, and then Bailey was halfway through when Dumbledore called her back. With a pale and fearful expression, Bailey retreated back into the Common Room. Ashlyn and Lily turned around, only to come face to face with a large crowd of various students sitting along the floor of the corridor. Tessa, Adriana and Raelene immediately jumped up.
"Can we go in now?" They all whined.
Baffled, Lily nodded and they raced into the Common Room, half of Gryffindor Tower following. The two began walking towards the Great Hall in hopes of getting there early enough to make it before the food magically disappeared. They passed through corridor after corridor just randomly talking about past subjects. Just as they reached the foot of the entrance hall's grand staircase, Ashlyn tripped, landing face first on the cold stone floor. Lily attempted moving out of the way, but she wasn't quick enough and went down as well.
"Well look at what we've stumbled upon, Severus. Sephre and mudblood, the scum of the earth, on the floor where they belong."
The two girls looked up to see the faces of Lucius Malfoy and Severus Snape, peering down on them as if something truly revolting were there. Lily instantly began to stand up, but Ashlyn pulled her down to sit while she, herself, rolled over on her back and crossed her arms behind her head in a relaxed manner. The boys' jaws nearly dropped when they looked at Ashlyn. Lily saw what they thought of her, even though they tried to hide it. They loved the way she looked. She wasn't the short, in between skinny and slightly fat kid anymore, and they had noticed. The look on Ashlyn's face told that she had realized what they were thinking as well.
Ashlyn gained a devilish grin. "Why Lucy. It's been so long since I last humiliated you. How have you been?"
His senses seeming to come back to him, Lucius opened his mouth. "Wonderful." He replied, looking all but. "With you gone for so long, I had free reign to pick on mudblood here and all her little friends."
"Well that is just wonderful, now isn't it Lucy." Ashlyn said. She turned to wink at Lily, only to find her close to tears. Frowning, she realized how much Lucius must have actually done over the years if it still hurt her. She turned back around to face Lucius. "Why don't you leave now? You're really not welcome. You either, Sevypoo."
Lucius had to hold Severus back as he replied. "Oh, but we're not finished here."
"Oh yes we are. Trust me." Ashlyn said. "Now scamper off to your Common Room or what not and work on getting that abnormally large head out of your ass. When you've finally succeeded, let me know, and then I'll consider finishing up this entirely pointless conversation that revolves around humiliating you."
Looking entirely dumbstruck, neither of the two moved.
"You heard the girl. Get out of here."
Lily turned to see James with his wand drawn and Remus and Sirius quickly running up to them, wands drawn as well. Bailey herself wasn't far behind as she walked down the stairs toward them.
"You heard him. Go!" Sirius said.
The two boys walked off in the direction of the dungeons, sneering as they went.
"Bye Lucy! Bye Sevypoo!" Ashlyn yelled after them as she stood up. She regretted it in a second. The two boys had turned around, wands drawn, racing at her as they cast curse after curse. She let out a small squeak before tearing off down the hall into the Great Hall, hoping for it to have at least one staff member.
"Here Evans." Lily looked up to see James holding out his hand to help her up. Instead of grabbing it though, Lily grabbed the banister of the staircase and pulled herself up while attempting to dry her tears before anyone noticed. It seemed to have worked so far.
Then a high-pitched scream erupted from with in the hall, causing the group to look over in that direction.
Everyone, even Lily, laughed as the two Slytherin boys came to an abrupt halt outside of the great big oak doors looking horror struck, and turned around to go the other way. Unfortunately though, they weren't quick enough. Professors McGonagall (Transfiguration), Kettleburn (Care of Magical Creatures) and Popples (The Study of Ancient Runes) all came walking out practically dragging a nearly hysterical Ashlyn with them. All laughter seized. Ashlyn's hair had been dyed a deep dark gray. They all knew how much Ashlyn loved her blonde hair and the fact that she was in upset hysterics about it explained a lot. Next thing they noticed though was that she had also grown the tail of a raccoon, which matched her hair perfectly. As they continued to drag her out, ears of a raccoon began to grow on he top of her head from beneath her hair. As she reached up and felt these she nearly passed out. No wonder she was upset.
Professor McGonagall looked outraged. "Misters Malfoy and Snape!" she nearly shrieked. "Attacking a student and an unarmed one at that! I am horribly disappointed in the two of you. Especially Mr. Snape. You're a prefect, are you not?"
Severus nodded.
"One detention each. You will report to my office at eight-o-clock sharp on Monday evening." She ordered.
The two nodded as they pocketed their wands.
"Now please reverse the effects on Miss Sephre."
"Err. there's a small problem in that." Malfoy explained.
"Oh?"
"Err, yes. You see. there really isn't a counter spell." Snape added.
Ashlyn looked to be mere seconds away from passing out, but Professor Popples kept her standing.
Professor Kettleburn stepped forward. "There isn't one, or you two don't know it?" he asked.
"There isn't one. She's stuck like that for an unknown amount of time. It all depends on when the spell feels like wearing out." Malfoy and Snape recited together.
Ashlyn passed out.
"Another detention, eight-o-clock on Tuesday, in my office." Professor Popples said sternly as she conjured a stretcher for Ashlyn.
"And five points form Slytherin. each." Professor Kettleburn added as he looked at the two boys. "Now off to your dormitories. We'll be contacting your head of house to inform her of your punishments."
The two boys slowly nodded before walking off once again towards the dungeons. They didn't leave entirely though. Not before they slid in a few snide remarks.
"Watch your step mudblood, or you'll be worse off then Sephre over there." Lucius whispered only loud enough for Lily to here as he passed by, suspiciously close to her.
Swallowing hard, Lily began to walk off as quickly as possible in the direction of the Hospital Wing, trying to leave the others behind.
"Lily! Hey Lily!"
She turned around to find Bailey running up to her. "Yeah?"
"Where are you going? I thought we were going to get some dinner?" she asked.
Lily had forgotten all about dinner. "You go ahead. I'm really not all that hungry. I'll just go check on Ashlyn and tell you how she is when I come back to the Common Room."
Bailey looked at her curiously. "Are you sure?" Lily nodded. "All right, but I'll try and bring you back some food."
"Thanks Bailey."
Lily watched as Bailey turned away with a wave and made her way back to the Great Hall, where the three boys were waiting for her. Just as they walked in, Peter and Bret joined up with them and entered as well. Still, slightly upset about what Malfoy had said, Lily continued on her way towards the Hospital Wing. Around five minutes later, she found herself knocking on the door. A young girl of about twenty, dressed in white, opened the door.
"Hello Lily. I suppose you're here to see Ashlyn?"
"Hullo Poppy." Lily said, nodding her head.
"Mum is just finishing up with her. She woke up not long after she got here, but the poor girl was in complete hysterics."
"She was like that before she passed out."
"Yes, well, come in. She's right over there." She said, indicating over to the third bed on the right. "I'd come see if she's all right, but mum has me doing a few things in the back."
"Thanks."
"Anytime." And with that, the young assistant nurse disappeared into an office in the back.
Lily made her way over to the bed and stepped into the curtained enclosure. There, Ashlyn was sitting holding a hand mirror in her right hand as she felt her hair and ears with her left. She jumped slightly when Lily cleared her throat, but smiled all the same.
"Hey Lils." She said.
"You feeling better?" Lily asked as she sat down. "You were in complete hysterics down there."
"Yeah, well, I was in them up here as well. Madam Pomfrey had to force a calming potion down my throat before I even became remotely calm."
"Poppy said you were still upset when she saw you."
"Yeah. Well I feel better now." She said as she picked the mirror back up and looked at herself. "It really isn't to bad now that I've gotten used to it. I'm actually kind of cute now that I've thought about it. Wouldn't you say?"
Lily laughed as Ashlyn made her ears twitch a little. Ashlyn couldn't help it. She began laughing as well. After a few minutes she stood up on her bed and began shaking her butt so that her tail would wobble back and forth, sending both girls into fits of hysterical laughter. They only stopped, when Madam Pomfrey came rushing in as Poppy, her daughter, pulled back the curtains.
"What in heavens name is going on with the two of you?" she asked.
Lily and Ashlyn chocked back the giggles that were trying to escape from their mouths as they watched Poppy stand behind her mother making faces. They cracked up as she imitated the two of them laughing and then her mother running in, practically having a heart attack. Lily then turned to glance at Ashlyn to see what she had to say. She had to laugh at the innocent face Ashlyn had plastered to her face. It looked so right with her raccoon features.
"S-sorry Madam Pomfrey. Ashlyn was just-just modeling off her new features." Lily explained as she tried to keep from laughing. Ashlyn nodded in agreement, unable to say anything.
"Come on mum." Poppy said. "Ashlyn seems to be all right. Let's just let her out so she can get back to her dormitory."
"I suppose you right, Poppy."
Ashlyn and Lily jumped up immediately. "Thank you!" they both exclaimed as they raced out through the infirmary doors.
Lily turned around to see Bailey hastily shoving the things she had been using into the pillowcase. She bent down beside her and began to help. Picking up three small thin phials, she noticed they weren't filled with grains of some powder or herb. Instead, each was filled with the same deep black liquid.
