Disclaimer: This is a continuation of 'A day in the Life of the Hospital Wing'. We don't own blah blah blah. We know the Pippi in this is a lot like Pippi Longstocking but it isn't so don't kill us. We're still in Harry + that lots 5th yr so Tal + her mates are 1st yrs. Tal joined Hogwarts in the Easter holidays, and the story continues on from that, so, everything that happens is only in the last term of the year.

The most disliked first-year at Hogwarts

Chapter 3

Everyone glanced at each other and walked briskly to the Great Hall, sitting at the tables. All of the teachers, bar Hooch for obvious reasons, were stood at the front, all looking worried.

            "Madame Hooch was discovered on the fourth floor. Her injuries were so severe that she has been taken to St Mungo's. We want the person who attacked her to own up to it" Dumbledore said. All the students looked around the hall waiting to see who owned up. No one did. The Slytherin's didn't look that bothered.

            "I'll bet you anything it was a Slytherin" Pippi muttered.

            "But you have no proof to back that up" Tal said quietly.

            "As no one has owned up to this crime you are all confined to your common rooms and dormitories unless in classes until further notice" Dumbledore said sadly. At once students started talking non stop and most hurried up to their common rooms. Tal was about to go when a hand rested on her shoulder.

            "What happened to your face Miss Riddler?" McGonagall asked.

            "Nothing professor" Tal said.

            "Very believable" Leila muttered.

            "As you are not willing to tell the truth you may go now" McGonagall said walking back to the teachers.

            "Very close" Tal said to Pippi and Leila.

            "Yeah" Leila and Pippi said together.
            "So who bullied you anyway?" Leila asked.

            "Only Alex McFinn" Tal said to them.

"That COW!" Leila said angrily.

            "Not talking about me I hope" Alex sneered from behind them. She was hanging onto Zav's arm, obviously they were going out. Leila growled and started towards Alex, her hands clenching into fists. Pippi glared at her angrily. Tal just stood there, fearful of what her friends might do. When Leila got close enough she quickly punched Alex in the eye. Alex howled in both pain and fury and Zav shouted angrily. Leila punched her again but this time was thrown backwards as Pinto, Alex's best friend dived on her. Pinto had long silver hair and was tall, but as ever Leila was still taller. She had steel grey eyes and was, for a girl was pretty muscular and strong and was now beating the hell out of  Leila, who was putting up a pretty good fight. Alex was clutching her face which was now black on one side, Leila could punch pretty hard. As if the situation couldn't get any worse, Snape and the Defense Against The Dark Arts Teacher, Amara Jennae (Jen-Ai) had seen the fight and were coming towards them from the teacher area. Amara was slightly tanned and had wavy brown hair halfway down her back and dark brown eyes. She wasn't too strict but she was strict enough.

            "What is going on here?" she asked the group. Leila and Pinto froze, Pinto's fist ready to hit Leila again.

"A friendly disagreement" Leila muttered. She had bruises all over her face by now and a split lip.

            "A likely story, all of you, my office" Professor Jennae said strictly. Once in her room she faced the students, she told Snape to go which made him very angry indeed. "Now, I want you Miss Riddler to explain"

            "Me" Tal muttered. She noticed the Slytherin's all glaring at her menacingly. "Um, just a friendly disagreement that got slightly out of hand" Tal muttered, trembling from head to toe. Her friend's stared at her, and then noticed the way she was trembling and quenched their anger.

            "I said the whole story Miss Ridler" Professor Jennae demanded

            "Well, I, um. I'm not sure what happened Professor" Tal said, gaining confidence from her friends.

            "Right, if no-one will tell me. Miss McFinn, please go down to the dungeons and ask Professor Snape for some veritaserum" Professor Jennae said, turning to Alex

            "Yes, Professor" Alex said, smirking at the Gryffindors as she went out the door. A few minutes later, she returned, holding a small bottle filled with a clear liquid in her hand. She gave it to Professor Jennae.

            "Right" she said, holding up the bottle, "Now will someone tell me what happened."

            "I will Professor" Pippi said quietly.

            "Yes, Miss Reily" Professor Jennae prompted

            "Well…Alex attacked Tal in a corridor earlier and she told Leila who did it and Leila jumped at Alex then Pinto jumped at Leila and then you came. That's everything" Pippi said all of this very quickly, wanting to get it over with.

            "Thank you, Miss Reily. All of you will be in detention with me…" Professor Jennae started.

            "But Professor…" Zav interrupted "Did you say all of us?"

            "I did Mr Black. Even if this…incident did not involve you, you still could have tried to break it up"

            "Yes Professor" he murmured

            "Now, all of you can go back to your Common rooms and stay there, you will be told when your detention will be" they all filed quietly out of Professor Jennae's office and into the Entrance Hall. The Slytherins turned and went down into the dungeons while the Gryffindors walked slowly up the marble staircase. Tal couldn't look at any of her friends and just set her mind on getting to her bed. Pippi didn't realise it but to Tal she was giving of a very angry vibe and Leila was ignoring Tal completely. Once in the common room Tal ran quickly up the staircase to their dorm and ran into the bathroom, locking the door behind her. She slid down the wall, silently hugging her knees. She heard Leila and Pippi enter the dorm, she heard them talking angrily and then she heard her name mentioned.

            "Tal is such a chicken" Leila muttered angrily as she searched for her charms book, intending to do her two week late homework.

            "Wasn't that in ages ago?" Pippi asked as Leila found the book and opened it to the right page.

            "Yeah, but shhhhh" Leila said angrily.

            "You're really ticked off at the moment aren't you?" Pippi asked sitting on her bed.

            "No!" Leila snapped.

            "Uh-huh" Pippi said sarcastically.

            "Well, maybe I am, but you're the one who got us all in detention!"

            "Would you have preferred she used the veritaserum and got us to tell everyone our most guarded secrets. I don't think so."

            "Yeah, but if Tal had stood up for herself none of this would have happened"

            "Don't blame her for everything! You started the fight, you should take responsibility for it!" Pippi instantly regretted her words, but was in no mood to appologise

            "Some friend you are Pippi Reily" Leila stormed out of the dormitory and slammed the door behind her. Pippi just stood there, looking shocked. In one day, three of the closest friends had become rivals.
