Chapter 10

Two days later, during a boring History of Magic class with Professor Binns, Tiffany's head suddenly popped up from her desk as she woke with a start, remembering something.

"We never went to visit Bita!" she whispered to Rachelle.

"Oh, poor Bita!" Rachelle whispered back. "We can go visit her during break later."

"Ok," said Tiffany.

----------

Later, after potions, Tiffany and Rachelle went to the Hospital Wing to visit their friend. When they found Bita in one of the beds, she wasn't completely alone like they had assumed she would be. In fact she was surrounded by almost twenty Hufflepuffs.

"Bita?" Rachelle asked, as if the girl sitting in the bed could be someone else.

"Who are you?" Bita asked.

"Ugh, why do we even bother?" Tiffany asked, throwing her hands into the air.

"Bita, we already told you, we're Rachelle and Tiffany, your two best friends," Rachelle answered patiently.

"Oh…Oh! I remember! You're the one that followed the giant worm to the Great Hall!" Bita said, proud that she had remembered.

"Um…yeah, ok," Rachelle said uncertainly.

"I wonder if she's still delusional?" Tiffany said thoughtfully.

"Look! A lemon army to fight Waffle Pudding!" Bita said excitedly, pointing at Madam Pomfrey.

"The…lemons…are…dead," Rachelle answered Bita slowly and clearly.

Bita, once again, burst into tears at the "news".

"You two are upsetting her, you better leave," Madam Pomfrey said sternly.

"But it's not us! It's Waffle Pudding!" Rachelle argued.

Madam Pomfrey gave her an odd glance and muttered to Bita, "Maybe she should be in here instead of you."

----------

A couple of days after that, Bita was let out of the Hospital Wing, apparently no longer delusional. Tiffany and Rachelle stopped her in the halls a few times for a visit and found that she was no longer delusional and her memory had been recovered.

All of the professors did, as Mr. Vilner said, start weekend classes for The Odds. Not many teachers were happy about this because it meant that they had to hold their classes back and assign very simple bookwork about subjects they all learned in their first and second years. This, in turn, would most likely lead to cancellation of third year's end of term exams.
