Everything was quiet in the hospital wing that morning, except when
Madame Pomfrey dropped something and it smashed on the floor. Gabrielle
woke with a start, and drowsily looked At Madame Pomfrey to see what
happened. There was a smoking puddle on the ground, she pulled the covers
over her head after she saw, but Madame Pomfrey went up to her bed and
decided to giver her a potion to drink before she went to bed. After
drinking the potion she couldn't fall asleep because the bad taste would
give her nightmares, well that's what she said to Madame Pomfrey to answer
her question. Gabrielle knew it probably wasn't true. She just sat on her
bed looking out the window. . Gabrielle felt better, but not perfect.
Most of it was physiological and Madame Pomfrey had tested new forms of
healing on Gabrielle. Yesterday, she had learned to meditate like they did
in china. She tried to levitate, but she had to practice. She was bored
and zoned out for a little, but once she saw someone walking on the school
grounds she took a closer look (she pinned herself against the glass
window). She could've sworn one of them was Morgain, but the other, boy,
she didn't know. They walked for a while, and then she saw them waltzing!
Out of no ware! She burst out laughing and wouldn't take her eyes off of
Morgian and this boy. Surprisingly, Morgain looked as if she was enjoying
it as much as Gabrielle was enjoying watching it. Madame Pomfrey tried to
look through the window to see what was happening, but Gabrielle distracted
her by accidentally pushing over a glass on her bedside table with her
hand. It was really a mistake, no lies, when she heard Madame Pomfrey
coming she nervously swung her arm towards the night table. Her reflexes
had saved her and Morgian, once again. Now Madame Pomfrey was picking up
the mess mumbling
"Everything was so peaceful until this girl came."
She stood up and threw out the scraps of glass into a garbage pale in her office. Gabrielle let herself sink into her bed and peered through the window. There was no one there anymore, but she could have sworn she heard screaming. She lay down for a while longer, thinking. Hours went by until she heard:
"Gabby!" Morgain called from the door in her usual designer clothing.
"Morgain!" she called back, smiling. Morgian walked up to Gabrielle's bed and she gave Morgain a look. "I know what you were up to this morning." She said playfully.
"What?"
"Don't pretend that you didn't have an incredibly romantic morning!" she said. Morgain soon understood what she was talking about and blushed. The blush gave Gabrielle a satisfactory smile on her face. "So you want to know-"
"Yes, full details." She said cutting in on Morgain's sentence."First of all, who is he?"
"Stephan, you know Sebastian's friend."
"You mean the one your playing against today?"
"Yes." "Interesting." Now Gabrielle wasn't the one to say he was the "enemy" or anything, as competitive as she was. she acted as if he was any other guy. So tell me." she started up again "How did you bump into him?" Gabrielle instantly saw something was up when she saw Morgain's expression after she asked her question. Morgian looked like she swallowed something disgusting, something like the potion Gabrielle had to drink. She seemed worried too but, she sighed and told her what had happened: Morgian told Gabrielle how she had been wandering in the morning in search of the kitchens, and ended up going through the barrier to the slitherin common room. The slitherin common room was the most protected common room from non-slitherins, so it was odd that she got through. The reason for her being uneasy about the fact was that being able to go into the slitherin common room made Morgian like the rest of the family, which was not a good thing.
"Morgy, we all know you're the oddball in the family. Don't worry." She said after Morgain had finished her story, reassuring to her that she was not like everyone else in her family, her family was pureblood after all, and Morgain was the only one in her family that had her heart in the right place, and her thinking it was untrue wasn't the most uplifting thing. Gabrielle normally couldn't get serious about things, but it did make Morgian smile. "And anyways, if you were like the rest of your family you wouldn't be put in Ravenclaw. The sorting hat isn't that old, I mean it sorted everyone else in the right house. So maybe you just have to live up to your house or something." She added. They talked for a while longer, and Morgian had to go to the game soon. Gabrielle told her before she left "You know you're not like the rest of your family, but you are definitely starting to fall in love with someone just like the rest of your family."
Madame Pomfrey was rushing around the wing, getting work done. She watched Madame Pomfrey. 'Hmmmm. When would the best time to sneak out be?' she thought to herself. "By any chance would you be going to the quidditch game today?" she asked.
"Yes dear, it's my duty. You know how violent those games could get-" she stopped and suspiciously looked at Gabrielle. "Why do you ask?"
"Well-"
"This cant be an attempt to sneak to the game could it? I knew I shouldn't have let Williams come in here!" she ranted.
"But! But I want to go! I'll be missing out! This is an important game and I'm keeper for-"
"I very well know you are keeper for Gryffindor! And you have to be healthy to play!"
"I am healthy! or healthy enough."she said. Madame Pomfrey ignored her and went to get her cloak from her office. She eyed Gabrielle sternly.
"I have informed all staff of you being ill and they will bring you right back if you try anything!" and she shut the door behind her, She sighed, she hated disobeying the teachers, she knew it was horrible but she had to see that game! She didn't know why but she had a feeling, I mean a feeling other than curiosity and wanting to do her duty as keeper, a feeling that something bad might happen. She waited until she was certain that Madam Pomfrey was far away, and then she got out of her sleeping clothes and dressed in the school uniform because everyone else wore them to these things. She liked the uniform; she didn't know why Morgian always fretted about it. She felt that she belonged to something great when she wore them; she knew it was corny, but the fact that she loved gold, white and scarlet helped a lot to liking the school uniforms. She turned into the same thing she normally is, the same blonde tabby cat. She walked out of the hospital wing, and then saw someone go in at the door at the opposite end of the wing. She peered inside through the crack in the door. It was James! And she did nothing to the bed to make it seem she was still there. She ran in front of him to stop him from getting to close to the bed, but it gave her away more than anything. He smiled, he saw her in that form before. She turned into her old self. "Really Orwood, your not good at sneaking out." She shrugged, and said
"I need more practice," and realized the situation "you are not keeping me here! I am going to that game!"
"Of course you are," he said casually.
"I am?" she said, confused. She shook her head realizing what she said sounded odd, "I mean your not stopping me?" When she got no answer other then a smile form him whole he was rearranging the pillows to look like her. "Why not?"
"Morgian didn't make me promise this time." He said, "and besides your better now." She didn't say anything. He enchanted the pillow to make a snoring noise. Gabrielle scowled at him and changed it; she made a movement from her throat to the pillow and mumbled a spell. Instantly the snore changed to deep breathing that sounded like Gabrielle sleeping.
"So what did you have planned?" she asked curiously.
"I don't know, you're the brains of this operation." he replied shrugging. She turned into the cat she normally turned into, but this time it was smaller. She ran over to her bag and went into it. James got her point and followed her. He picked up the bag, and set out for the game. They went out the door and Williams bumped into James.
"Sorry James." He said walking towards the door. James stood in front of him.
"Why do you want to go into the Hospital wing?" he said.
"Wondering if Gabrielle got a way out or not."
"Well, she's sleeping. Tired out, poor thing." Gabrielle had every intention of hitting him right now, but it wouldn't help the situation. Willaims made a face.
"She should be there! I told her to get a way out!"
"She's sick!" James said, "You have to sort out your priorities Williams." He walked away leaving him with his thoughts until Willams called after him.
"Hey isn't that her bag?"
"Everything was so peaceful until this girl came."
She stood up and threw out the scraps of glass into a garbage pale in her office. Gabrielle let herself sink into her bed and peered through the window. There was no one there anymore, but she could have sworn she heard screaming. She lay down for a while longer, thinking. Hours went by until she heard:
