Pain in the Appendix
I walked into the common, with my white tanktop and plaided pajama bottoms. My hair was up in a messy bun and it was 2:37 in the morning. I plopped down on the couch. I sat there staring into the endless flames of the Gryffindor common room fire. I couldn't sleep and I couldn't think straight. I felt numb, my head ached, and my stomach hurt. I felt my stomach churn and I got up carefully, and ran up the chairs to the bathroom. I sat there over the toilet for about 5 minutes vomiting. When I felt a bit better, I got up and made my way down to the hospital wing. My bare feet making their way with ever step, over the cold stone floor. I passed through the icy shadows, with a feeling that I was being watched. I stopped near a high barrier, and looked behind me. Nothing was there. I shook it off and kept walking. When I reached the fourth floor, I stopped. I felt weird, like something was burning through my body. I tried to keep my balance, but fell. I tried to get up, but a shooting pain ran through me, like knives to a wall.
"AHH!" I yelled grimacing in pain. I slowly sat myself up against the wall, but the pain just got worse. "AHHHH!!!"
............................................................................ ....................................
In the Gryffindor tower, Harry woke with a flash. NICOLE! Harry got out of his warm bed and ran down the maroon carpeted steps, to the common room. He noticed that know one was there.
"AHH!!!"
There it was again! Harry ran out of the portrait hole and down through many corridors. When he reached the anonymous sets of stairs, he stopped. Should he go up, or should he go down? He took a guess and ran up a pair of stairs leading to the fourth floor. He ran down many more corridors before he saw her. Nicole, slightly lying against the wall. Harry ran over to where she sat and knelt down beside her.
"Nicole," he said, panic in his voice. "Nicole, what's wrong?"
............................................................................ ....................................
"Harry...it hurts so much!" I yelled, another set of pain rushing through me.
"I need to get you to the hospital wing!" He told me as he carefully slid his right arm around my waist, and the other under my legs. "Hold on."
He carefully lifted me up to his chest and made his way as fast as he could down the corridor to the hospital wing.
"Madam Polmfrey!" Harry yelled, still holding me in his arms. "Madam POLMFREY!
Madam Polmfrey ran out of her office at the sound of Harry's, extremely loud voice.
"Mr. Potter, what is your prob..." she started, then she noticed me in Harry's arms. "Mr. Potter, what happened?"
"I don't know," he told her. "I was sleeping and, I heard her scream,...I followed the sound and found her on the fourth floor,...she was screaming in pain."
"Well, lets get her to a bed." She said, motioning Harry over to a hospital bed near the northside wall. "Now lie her down gently."
"AHH!" I yelled, as Harry slide his arm out from under my waist. He had hit the spot that was hurting the most. "HARRY!"
"Oh, sorry."
"Miss Wright, "began madam Polmfrey. "What hurts, and where?"
I gasped in pain as I pointed to my side. It hurt so much.
"Mr. Potter please go get me a wet towel and some fanigraie ointment."
Harry did as he was told, and on his way back, he noticed Ron lying on his bed. He walked over to him.
"Ron?"
Ron opened his eyes slowly and blinked.
"Harry?"
"Mr. Potter!" screamed madam Polmfrey. "Mr. Potter I need you over here now!"
"Sorry Ron I need to go."
Harry scurried over to Madam Polmfrey and handed her the wet towel and Fanigraie ointment. She pulled my shirt up off my side and took the ointment. She spread it all over my stomach area and my left side. She then took the towel and rubbed it in a circular motion all around the area treated with the fanigraie ointment. I screamed in pain. Harry looked at me
"What's wrong with her madam Polmfrey?"
"She's going into shock, Mr. Potter."
"But she will be OK,... right?!"
"I don't know, Mr. Potter,... I don't know!"
Ron jumped up and yelped at his own pain.
"Oww,.. Stupid back." he whispered to himself.
He then looked around the room, for all the commotion.
"Harry," he started. "What's going on?"
"Nicole, she,...I,...I don't really know exactly."
"Nicole? Is she all right?"
"I don't know, she is in allot of pain right now."
"Well if you hear anything new, let me know immediately, OK."
"OK."
"Mr. Potter," said madam Polmfrey. "You may go back to bed now."
"Can I stay here?"
"If you want I suppose,...but don't get in the way!"
Harry nodded.
Madam Polmfrey gave me a shot of somekind, and I felt weird,...I slowly drifted into a deep sleep, and nothing seemed to be able to wake me.
............................................................................ ....................................
Harry woke up early that morning and realized where he was. He remembered what had happened the night before. Harry looked at the bed in front of him and worry once again, slipped across his face. He got up, looked at me, and quickly strode over to madam Polmfrey's office.
"Madam Polmfrey?"
"Yes Mr. Potter."
"Did you find out anything?"
"About what Mr. Potter?"
"Last night."
"Appendix."
"Excuse me?" Harry asked confused.
"It was her appendix Mr. Potter."
"Oh."
Harry thanked her and walked out of madam Polmfrey's office. He walked over to my bed and sat back down in the chair next to it. He soon fell back to sleep.
............................................................................ ....................................
I woke to the sound of breathing in my ear. I opened my eyes and saw Harry sleeping peacefully. He must have slept in that chair all night long.
"Harry." I whispered, giving him a slight nudge in the shoulder.
Harry stirred. He opened his eyes slowly and yawned. Then he noticed me.
"Morning Nicole," he yawned. "How are you feeling?"
"Much better," I smiled. "Thank you lots Harry."
"Your welcome."
I examined the room and saw Ron sleeping silently on his bed. He was facing towards us. I smiled at this and then Harry noticed, and looked at him too.
"You'd think he'd snore." he laughed.
I just looked at Harry, giving him the blank stare. He looked back and tried to mock my vacant expression.
"You're not funny."
"You're not funny." he mocked.
"Stop."
"Stop."
" I love you."
"You what?!"
"HA!" I laughed aloud. Besides, I was only joking. "Gotcha ya!"
"Oh whatever!" he laughed. "I will get you back."
On the other side of the room, Ron had just woken up. He looked around and noticed Harry and I laughing. He smiled. He carefully sat himself up, trying not to draw any attention to himself in the matter.
I turned towards Ron and notice he was awake. I smiled brightly at him. He returned the smile. I turned to Harry and told him we were being watched. He turned around and noticed Ron staring and smiling happily at them. He smiled then looked at me. Harry moved toward my left ear.
"I know something you don't know."
"How could you possibly know something I don't know already." I laughed, trying to sound like Hermione.
Harry laughed at the sudden tone of my voice.
"You sound like Hermione."
"I know." I laughed.
"What are you two laughing about."
Harry and I looked up.
"Oh nothing much." I said, trying not to laugh.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, Ron...we are sure." said Harry.
"Okay." said Ron, yawning.
"I didn't hear him wake up." whispered Harry. "Did you?"
"No, I didn't." I whispered back.
Ron got up and walked over to us. He took a seat opposite of Harry and looked at me.
"How you feeling?"
"Much better, thanks to Harry." I said, smiling at Harry." If he hadn't found me, I don't know what would have happened to me."
"Well I heard you screaming and I ran to find you,...you did wake me up." He said, sarcastically.
I laughed and noticed Ron rolling his eyes. I ignored it.
"So, what was it that caused you so much pain?" Ron asked, changing the subject.
"I don't know."
"Appendix." said Madam Polmfrey, as she walked out of her office.
"Huh?" Ron asked in confusion.
"It was her appendix Mr. Weasley." she said, a look of annoyance on her face.
"Oh."
"Well how did you, make the pain stop?"
"I removed it using the wizarding antidote."
She then noticed the confused looks on our faces.
"The ointment Mr. Potter fetched me yesterday...that was the antidote."
"Oh...right." we all said, trying not to sound stupid. We all looked at each other and tried desperately not to laugh.
We talked all afternoon and had, breakfast and lunch in the hospital wing. We had fun talking about everything and nothing. Harry even explained to me all about Quidditch. Ron also taught me how to play wizards chess, which was allot funner than regular old chess.
I walked into the common, with my white tanktop and plaided pajama bottoms. My hair was up in a messy bun and it was 2:37 in the morning. I plopped down on the couch.
