Chapter 20: Sugar High
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The weekend passed quickly. We spent much of our time studying our brains out.
Tonight, as in Sunday, is our last night to study. Starting tomorrow we have N.E.W.T.s exams all week long. I'm pretty confident I'll do well.
I was currently sitting in the library with Bree who insisted on bringing Sirius. And Sirius always comes in a package so that means that all the Marauders had to join us at the extremely large round table in the library. For the past five hours I was planning on having a nice evening of non stop studying. But the Marauders decided they'd rather do other thinks. Like try to see who can burp the loudest or who could get the most books stacked on their heads. Sirius won by four Herbology books if you must know. Remus came in a close second. His head held one extra DADA book than James who had a total of five History of Magic books.
I thought the librarian was going to kick us out after the fourteenth time telling us to be quiet. But that was over three hours ago and she had been in her office since and probably forgot about us.
Now the Marauders are just plain driving me crazy. It's different to annoy me in the common room or at lunch but I'm trying to cram a ton of information in my head before tomorrow.
"Sirius, shut up I'm not kidding," I looked up from my Herbology book.
"I'm not kidding either. I'm Sirius. You haven't forgotten already have you?" Sirius asked pushing a sleeping Peter away from him who woke with a start.
"Mum! Don't take Mr. Lovey!" Some drool leaked out of his mouth.
"Ew, Wormtail that just missed me!" Remus scooted over.
"You guys are still studying?" he asked yawning.
"We're trying to," Bree and I switched books.
"Alright," Peter stood up, "I'm beat...I'm off to bed."
"You haven't even studied yet," James said.
"You shouldn't be talking," I turned the page trying to clock everyone out of my mind and focus.
"Night," Peter walked out of the library and disappeared down the hall.
"Okay now what?" James put his feet up on the table.
"I don't know, Prongs. What do you think, Moony?" Sirius turned to Remus.
Remus looked up from behind this enormous book and slid his finger across his neck, "Shh, Lily will kill you," he whispered.
"I'm about to if your guys don't shut up," I didn't even bother taking my eyes away from my book.
"Lil, I don't get-" Bree looked up from her book but I interrupted her.
"Shh, not now, later," I said still focused on the book.
"What don't you get?" James asked.
Bree hesitated for a moment, afraid to speak, "Well..."
"Pretend Lils isn't there..." He stated.
"JAMES! SHUT UP! WE HAVE THIS EXAM IN LESS THAN NINE HOURS! I'D LIKE TO DO GOOD! BUT TO DO GOOD I NEED TO STUDY, AND I CANT STUDY BECAUSE YOUR TALKING, SHUT UP! NOW!" I yelled.
"Calm down," Sirius said offended.
"Psst," James hissed about twenty minutes after I blew up, "PSST," he hissed a little louder when I ignored him.
I looked up annoyed and he passed me a note.
{J} Hey Lil, wanna go out?
I stared at the note for a second about to crumple it up when he rolled an extra quill and ink towards me.
{L} You have a thicker mind than I thought, Potter.
{J} Does that mean yes?
Bree joined into the conversation. {B} I believe she means no, Potter.
Sirius now took the paper. {S} How could you be so sure? She could have changed her mind.
The paper was passed to Remus too. {R} I'm pretty sure that means no Padfoot. Sorry Prongs.
By now the scrap piece of parchment was being passed all over the table.
{L} I'm positive that's a no. And we're supposed to be STUDYING.
{J} Calm down my little flower, you don't want to sprout weeds.
{S} I'm hungry.
{R} Oiy Padfoot. Do you ever stop thinking about food? But, if your gong to go to the kitchen can you get me something?
{B} Can we talk now or are we going to keep writing on this paper?
{J} I like writing, makes it funner.
{L} I'm going back to studying.
{S} Bye Lil! I'm sure you'll have tons of fun.
{B} What's a Tecumseh Root?
{J} There's a Tecumseh Root?
{S} Never heard of it.
{R} Typical.
{B} Lily! Lily, dearest, what is it?
{S} I don't thin she's answering. Maybe if I tickle her.
{J} Let me do the honors, Padfoot.
{R} I don't think she liked that, Prongs. She looks mad. Anyway, Bree the Tecumseh Root is in the same family as the Mandrake Root but it doesn't scream as loud.
{B} Thanks.
{S} I knew that.
{J} Right you did. But didn't you just say you never heard of it?
{S} I better go cross that out.
{L} Can you guys be any louder? Some people who wish to pass are trying to study.
{S} Yeah, we can. Would you like us to?
{L} No, thanks.
{B} I'm sad.
{R} Why?
{S} Because I'm sitting all the way across the table from her.
{L} Its less than three feet, Sirius.
{R} Why are you sad, Bree?
{B} Because we have testing all this week, then its Seventh years week, then we graduate and that's it. We're leaving Hogwarts forever and it makes me sad. I grew up here and now I have to leave.
{L} I know what you mean, Bree.
{J} Me too. But it won't be so sad and lonely for me because Lily will love me by then.
{L} You keep thinking that and your going to go crazy.
{R} I thin he already is crazy.
{B} Are you guys ready for bed? It's almost midnight and I dunno bout everyone else, but I'm tired.
{L} Yeah, I'm ready to go.
{J} I go wherever Lily goes.
{R} Alright then I guess we're off!
{S} Alright.
Our pointless conversation on paper was ended and we all headed upstairs and went to bed. Hopefully we wall do great on N.E.W.T.s.

I woke up the next morning and the room was almost silent.
I poked my head out and saw Katie and Bree sitting on the floor with cards in their hands, wands at their sides, and hundreds of candy wrappers everywhere.
"I see you two are happy again," I let my feet dangle over the edge of my bed over the cold wooden floor.
"I don't feel good," Bree fell over.
"Me either," Katie too lay down in a ball on the floor.
"You two are just nervous about the exams. Which begin in about," I stretched so I could see the clock, "An hour and a half."
"I think I ate a little too much," Bree picked up a pile and threw it in the air. Hundreds of wrappers came down on the two of them as if it were rain.
"Oiy! How long have you two been eating?"
"Since...ohh," Bree clutched her stomach.
"Since five this morning," Katie managed to get out before holding her stomach too, "We learned a new spell. It's really nifty and quick and it makes unlimited sweets."
"Sorry, but I don't think that spell will be on the exams. But if it was, it looks like you two will pass," I headed to the bathroom and left the two sick-lings be.
After showering and preparing for the long day ahead of me, I walked back into the dorm room. Ashley and Michelle must've already gotten ready, and are eating because their beds were made and they were no where in sight.
"You two are still laying there?" Bree and Katie were still lying in the same spot on the floor.
"Ash and Michelle already headed to breakfast," Bree said as I began to rummage though my trunk for my robes.
"Maybe you two should go to the hospital wing," I suggested.
"Ew! I hate hospital wings," Katie exclaimed.
"What if she makes us stay there? We'll miss exams...hey that's actually not a bad idea," Bree grinned.
"Your not going to have to stay. She'll probably just give you a potion to help settle your stomach."
"No way, I'm just going to-" Katie grabbed her stomach, "Ohh!" She quickly ran to the bathroom and slammed the door shut.
"Bree-you two should seriously go before exams or else you might not do as well."
"We'll be fine! Now you just meet us in the Great Hall. We'll be down in a bit," Bree replied.
So I headed to the quiet Great Hall and sat down next to Michelle.
"Hey, you ready for exams?" she asked.
"Hope so. You?" I poured juice into my glass.
"I think so," she replied, "Are Katie and Bree still lying on the floor?"
"Of course," The second I spoke Katie and Bree came into the Great Hall and hurriedly sat down grabbing some food.
"Did you go the hospital wing?" I asked passing the toast.
"Nope," Bree replied.
"You two are crazy," Ashley said.
"I know," Katie smiled.
We finished out breakfast and Bree and Katie looked even worse.
"I am taking you to the Hospital wing now," I got up and grabbed Katie and Bree's arms.
"But exams are in fifteen minutes!" Michelle squealed.
"We'll make it."
Bree, Katie, and I quickly ran up the stairs and burst into the hospital wing.
"They need a potion for their stomachs," I panted, "They ate too much candy."
She glared, "You kids and candy these days. Hold on let me find one."
As Madam Promfry left I glanced at my watch, "About eight more minutes. C'mon, Hurry up!" I tapped my foot impatiently on the floor.
Three more minutes passed and still no nurse or potion. Two more minutes passed and I began to grow worried and started pacing, "Where is she!?"
"Told you this was a bad idea," Katie said.
Madam Promfry rushed into the room, "I'm sorry. Here, here drink up fast!" she handed Katie and Bree the potions who drank it quickly and rushed out.
We ran out of the hall and hurried towards the Great Hall where the testing was being held. With only minutes to spare we rushed down the staircases as fast as our feet could carry us before the Great Hall doors would close and testing would begin.
As we ran down the last set of stairs and into the entry hall we spotted McGonagall closing the doors.
"Wait! Wait!" I screamed.
"Girls, where have you been?" she looked surprised.
"Hospital wing," Bree said clutching her side.
"Hurry up and take a seat," McGonagall replied, "Testing will start in a few minutes."
We quickly walked inside. Everyone's head turned towards us and were surprised to see that it was us that had strolled in late. Even the Marauders, who were always late for any academic activity, were already sitting down and waiting.
I took an empty seat a few rows behind Potter who turned around immediately and gave me a 'shame on you' you.
"Shut it, Potter," I pointed to the front hoping he would turn around.
"Yes, my sweet," he smiled and slid around in his seat.
Professor McGonagall passed out the first part of the test, a written part, and Professor Flitwick handed out special anti-cheat quills.
I quickly started on my test as the time began clicking away...
