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 5
Tal froze, her hand still in the air after throwing her shoe at Zav's head. Everyone around was silent, Leila grinning slightly. Alex growled dangerously and charged at Tal. Zav was now holding his head in his hands and had fallen to his knees out of lightheadedness. Tal yelped as Alex slapped her cheek, a hard slap that echoed around them. Pinto still held onto Louis's shoulders and now Pietro was punching him. Leila and her 'friends' watched in shock as Alex scratched, punched and kicked Tal till she was on the floor. CJ was trying to pull her off but when Alex lightly slapped her jaw she screamed very loudly, her jaw was quite obviously broken. Just as Louis was about to pass out, Leila was about to join in and Tal was about to start crying Snape, McGonagall and Sprout (coming from the greenhouse) turned up.
"What is going on here!" McGonagall asked angrily. Pinto and Pietro froze, Pinto letting go of Louis who fell limply to the floor. Alex stood up strait above Tal who had silent tears running down her face. "Miss Riddler…why have you only got one shoe on? And why are you on the floor, bleeding…" she trailed off.
"They attacked us Professor, we were only defending ourselves" Pinto said sweetly.
"It didn't look that way to me…and I didn't start it this time!" she said quickly at the end after receiving a questioning glance from all the teachers there.
"Well, obviously you didn't this time, but why are you here at all?" Snape asked her and Lisal.
"We were walking up from class" Leila said.
"A likely story, Miss Doon" Snape said icily
"That is what happened Professor" Tal said quickly, trying to get CJ to take her hand away from her face so she could see what Alex had done.
"Get up to the Hospital Wing, all of you" McGonagall said quickly before anyone could argue.
The 14 of them (that's 3 teachers, 4 Slytherins, 3 Hufflepuffs, 2 Gryffindors and 2 Ravenclaws (including Martyn and Robbi who were with Leila and Lisal))*reader takes long breath* (sorry) made their way slowly up the steps, into the castle and off to the Hospital Wing. Zav, Louis and CJ all needing to be supported by someone else. When they finally got there, Madam Pomfrey came quickly out of her office.
"Not you again" she complained at Tal "Pick a bed" she added, giving up. The students filed into the room, the Slytherins going to one side of the room and everyone else going to the other – McGonagall needing to draw up more chairs – pretty soon, everyone was silent and most of them were glaring at each other.
"OK, what happened here?" Pomfrey asked once the room was quiet. The ward suddenly exploded with sound as everyone tried to tell their side of the story at the same time.
"Quiet! QUIET!" McGonagall ended up shouting but still wasn't heard over all the voices. "Right, SILENCIO!" the room fell just as suddenly silent again. "When I lift the charm I want quiet. Only speak if we ask you to" No-one looked very happy at this, but also, no-one wanted to cross McGonagall when she got angry. Soon, everyone had nodded in agreement "Good, Sonorous." The room remained silent although there was a very large and vicious staring match going on between the two sides of the room. "Miss Riddler, as you were the only one not shouting before, please tell me exactly what happened" McGonagall ordered. Tal gulped through her tears. She had started crying as soon as they had arrived in the hospital wing, now with sobs racking her small frame.
"Um, well *sob* we were *gulp* talking and then they *sob* turned up and they *sob* we…I…*sob* I…" Tal couldn't carry on, she just broke down in louder tears.
"The Slytherins and Leila were nasty about Tal and then they started fighting" Lisal said in a very blonde mood.
"Lisal!" Leila snapped.
"Oh, whoops" Lisal muttered.
"Well, if that is the case then I'm afraid it's detentions for all" McGonagall said. Everyone looked at her shocked, especially Robbi and Martyn who hadn't actually said anything at all.
"If that is all…" Snape started, moving towards the door and leaving, Sprout followed him out silently.
"Right, who is actually in need of medical attention?" Pomfrey asked, not knowing where to start. CJ, Louis, Tal and Zav raised their hands quickly, Louis' needing to be held up by Robbi. She walked over to Louis, muttering angrily, as he seemed to be the most seriously injured. "What happened to you?"
Louis just rolled his eyes and looked very close to loosing consciousness. "Pietro attacked him Madam Pomfrey" Robbi said quietly, making sure the Slytherins didn't hear him.
"Here we go again" Pomfrey said exasperated.
