She woke with a horrible headache. Then it worsened to a headache, a sore
thought, a stomachache, and a stuffy nose as she got up and got ready. She
felt horrible, and only held her head up with her hand during history of
magic. She tried to pay attention, she really did. She tried not to seem
childish, which was normally the case when she was sick. She hated having
to rely on other, except for her mum. With her mum she would wine just like
she was five again (not to mention turning the medicine into something
yummy). It was odd, but it was something she did, but she didn't like it
right now, especially with James and his lot around to bother her. She
would hate for them to see her like this, but it was too late. She tried
her best to act tough though. She wrote down some notes on the subject,
pirates:
Pirates
1. Wizard fugitives who stole goods from muggle ships
2. Pirates code is their law
3. Enchanted their treasure maps to fool muggles that
stumble upon them
4. Maps enchanted to show viewer (that's not the captain
that made the map) the treasure is miles away from were
it actually is
She stopped when their teacher lost track of his notes. She rolled her eyes. He was a ghost, they say he just died one day and got back up to teach, without his body. He was sweet but very absent minded. He paid no attention to the students, just the lesson. He often called Gabrielle an entirely different name like "Georgia," or "Brittany." She closed her eyes. She felt horrible, but she didn't want to go to the nurse, she hated showing any sign of weakness. Plus, she would miss too much work. Her nose was stuffed, and her head was throbbing. She put her head on her history of magic book, and only opened her eyes when she heard Professor Binns start talking again. She opened her eyes and saw James staring at her, he seemed worried, and maybe she looked red. She ignored him and laid her arms and her head on her desk and barely lifted her hand to write. Her heavy, throbbing head became heavier. Her eyes began to loose their focus, and her had lain motionless on her piece of parchment. Ink stains covered the hand on the parchment, from words on her notes that had not dried. She felt a hand on each shoulder, shaking her awake.
"No! No! I want to finish studying!" she said in her sleep. She often said it in worry. her friends always stopped her from over working, as she tended to do. She heard a couple of different laughs behind her and pried open her eyes and lifted her heavy head off the desk. The class was empty, other than James, Sirius, Remeus and Peter. They were all smiling at her; she stood up quickly, but became so dizzy she fell back into her chair. They all moved towards her, attempting to catch her, but she fell too quickly. She got up, furious with herself for falling asleep. She lifted her hand off the desk and the piece of parchment came with it. She pealed the parchment off of her hand, ignoring the snickers from the boys in front of her. She heaved her bag desperately, but took out her wand and made it feather-light. She lifted it and walked out of the room. The boys followed her
"Er. Thank you for waking me up" she said as they ran up to her.
"No problem." James said, smiling.
"Gabby, you should really go to the nurse." Remeus said.
"Don't be silly." She said. They all rolled their eyes. Sirius whispered to James
"You think we have to do it by force?" James smiled. Gabrielle staggered and fell, but heaved herself up, not letting anyone help her.
"Cummon, Gabby. Let us take you to Madame Pomfrey, we promise we'll get all of your work for you" James said sweetly to her. She eyes him and said
"Very funny, now excuse me. I don't want to be late for class, and she picked up the pace that she was walking in." Remeus said
"Stubborn one, issn' she?" They all smiled in return, started following her and just as they caught up to her she collapsed. James, who thankfully had great reflexes, caught her before she hit the ground. She looked up at her and blushed furiously that stood out against her sickly pale face.
"I'll be fine," She mumbled. James only smiled and picked her up and took her to the Hospital wing.
"Good heavens!" Madame Pomfrey said, looking at Gabrielle "It should t take that long to get her here!"
"You don't know half of it." Sirius said. Gabrielle folded her arms. Madame Pomfrey brought a bubbling potion to Gabrielle's bedside table. She wrinkled her nose; she could smell all the way form the bed that she was laying on, and it didn't smell good. Madame Pomfrey handed it to her, and she held it, plugging her nose. The rest laughed at her. She drank it and when she finished had the most disgusted look on her face. The others made faces to match hers.
"Now, now Gabby dear, get some rest. Boys, you head off to class. It was nice that you dragged her hear, but you have classes to go to. I believe." They headed out the door. Gabrielle called after James.
"You promised to get my work remember!" James looked back at her and smiled his charming smile. She couldn't help squirming. She daydreamed a little and fell asleep. She was asleep for hours and hours then she was awakened by Morgain; who just rushed into the hospital wing to fill her in on what she had missed out on.
"Gabrielle?!" Williams said, he came from lunch to see what happened. "If this is some way of getting me to let you be chaser-
"NO! It isn't!" She said. "I blame James, he made me come to the nurse."
"Well, you better get to the game tomorrow! Ravenclaw is playing slitherin!" he said. "What's wrong with you anyways?"
"I have a cold. Madame Pomfrey says its because I'm working myself to hard."
"Well then stop working!" he said. She rolled her eyes at him.
"I'll get out of here." She said.
Later on, Madame Pomfrey was giving her the same disgusting potion.
"How long will it take until I can get out of bed?"
"Oh, at least a couple of days more." Madame Pomfrey said, handing Gabrielle the goblet.
"Will there be any chance of me being excused tomorrow so I can watch the game?"
"Definitely not! It will just make things worse!" Gabrielle spit out some of the potion.
"Please?"
"No" Gabrielle frowned. But then her owl, Hero swooped into the room and landed on the banister of the bed she was laying on. She took of the letter off of his leg and read:
I'm so exited Gabby! The big game is tomorrow! I'm surprised the slitherins aren't figuring out clever ways of injuring me so I can't play. They are making comments instead, comments that Sebastian kicked them down for if you get my drift. I'll be sure to tell you everything that happens, don't you dare try sneaking out! I'm glad James brought you to the Hospital wing! Seriously gabby, I won't always be there to take care of you. With love,
Morgian
She got a quill and ink form her bag that was on the foot of her bed and wrote back. I'm not promising anything As soon as she finished writing she heard the door open and saw Morgian rush out over to her.
"Gaby!!" she cried and ran over to her best friend. "You look a lot better."
"Thanks. I got your note. Tell me about the halls thing!" she said and pulled out Morgain's note, and handed her reply to Morgain.
"Well..." Morgain smiled. "Sebastian ran over to me before Transfiguration, and his friends looked at me funny. Well more like "checked me out". " She did a quoting motion with her hands. Gabrielle shot up her eyebrows. "Then Sebastian got mad. Then after Transfiguration I walked by them and Stephan yelled 'hope you wear that skirt to the game tomorrow' or something. Yeah..." Morgain stopped, holding Gabreille's letter in her hands,still unopened.
"You know his name?" Gabrielle asked, curious.
"Oh yeah, because at lunch he interrupted my conversation with Spike." Morgain replied not giving many details.
"So he was the same guy that called out the skirt thing?" Gabrielle asked.
"Yeah." Morgain was slightly embarrassed.
"What did he want at lunch?"
"Umm...well at first it seemed like he was trying to intimidate me before the game, but it ended up a bit differently. He's the Slitherin seeker." Morgain explained. Now she was uncomfortable. 'What is Gabrielle going to say?'
"You are really confusing me!" Gabrielle laughed. "Let me guess, he ended up flirting with you."
Morgain giggled and said yes. Gabrielle joined in and the giggling turned into great fits of laughter. They didn't know why they were laughing really, but this whole thing seemed really funny. James interrupted them.
"Ahem." he coughed. The two girls stopped laughing and turned to him.
"May we help you?" Morgain asked playfully.
"I came to check on this stubborn patient. Why were you laughing to hard?" he replied. The girls just looked at each other and laughed again.
"N-nothing." Gabrielle said and chuckled.
"Right. Here's your homework." James handed Gabrielle some books and parchment.
"Thanks James." she took it and looked through it and asked while she was reading some of it. "Were the classes hard? Did I miss anything important?" she looked up at James with her bottle green eyes.
"No not really." he answered. "I just had to finish our love potion in class today" Morgain stopped listening to what they were talking about and started humming a familiar song, both Gabrielle's and Morgain's favorite. She started humming "Once Upon A Dream" from Disney's Sleeping Beauty. (Disney is a wizard who started off with books and then went on to making motion pictures for muggles to make money because he found muggles do like the idea of magic, just not the reality of it. Therefore she would know him) Gabreille saw Morgain walk away with a look on her face, a look that made her uncomfortable. "I'll be back in a few." she told Gaby and walked out the door. She kept talking to James, though concentrating more on Morgain, and still had her eye on the door. Then, she had a quick vision of Morgain falling into Sirius's arms. After it ended she shook her head and smiled the same smile that Morgian used and made Gabrielle uncomfortable. James gave her a confused look and she pretended it didn't happen and talked to him some more. Then they started arguing, which was what they normally did. This time it was about the homework load, it was all important, Gabrielle knew because she read through it. He sat on the end of her bed. she even sat up. She liked fighting with him, she just found it fun, and she guessed it was her competitive gene that did it. One thing leads to another, and the common argument came up again, why James and his friends became amigi illegally.
"Tell me James! Tell me now!" Gabrielle was ordering James.
"No I won't! There is nothing to tell. Right Sirius?" He looked at Sirius, finally verifying his presence in the room. He Hd been standing there most of the time their argument had been taking place with Morgain, but you know how James and Gabrielle get;. When they start fighting nothing can interfere.
"Right." Sirius seemed to catch on to what the argument was about. Morgain did too. It was about their illegal amigus training. Gabrielle had an argument with them for a few days or weeks ago, Morgain wasn't sure. The night before she followed them to the Room of Requirement and observed their lesson. Basically she saw their petty attempts to turning themselves into animals, which was exactly what made her angry. She needed McGonagall's help to control her powers and there they are trying to get those same powers that she had naturally without any help, and she wouldn't stop when you got her started about them becoming amigi illegally and for no apparent reason (as they said over and over again). Morgain looked like she knew what they all were talking about, she did learn that Gabrielle was an amigus years ago in her third year.
"Tell us why you're trying to do it! Common just tell us!" Morgain begged. She was curious too.
"No! There is no purpose in it! We just wanted to try it!" James defended himself very well, making sure he didn't say exactly what it was that they were trying to do. It would have been really stupid if Madam Promfey found out.
"Grrrr..." Gabrielle was not happy. Madam Promfey rushed into the scene shooing Morgain, James and Sirius out of the wing.
"Gabrielle needs her rest and upsetting her is not helping her! Now go or I'll call the Headmaster." They left Gabrielle in a very annoyed mood; she picked up the first book and started doing her work.
"Well see you around." Morgain muttered and walked to her common room to get her books. They muttered 'bye' back at her and left too. Later that day, Jamie and Shannon came to visit her, they all ended up doing homework on Gabrielle's bed, laughing and talking like they always did meanwhile.
