Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Harry Potter Characters, I just write
about them.and Dru once we get to him is purely Carissa's but she gave me
permission to lend him out for awhile. Unless I decide not to use Dru.
which is rather debatable.but I'm not sure.
Author's Note: Hmph. I didn't get any reviews last time, well I got one from Morgan but she doesn't really count cus I know her. and she's read my stories before. *is sad*. So if you read this. PLEASE Review. nasty ones are better than no reviews. because if you don't even leave a nasty review I have no way of fixing it now do I? so just please review. thank you. Oh yhea, and I couldn't figure out how to get things to italicize. I thought the itext/i would work. but it didn't' seem to. so if anyone could tell me how to, that would me much appreciated!
Lauretta ran over to where Hallie was sprawled on the floor quickly taking out her wand. "REVILLE!" She shouted as she did so. and nothing happened. She shook Hallie lightly, but once again nothing happened. .oh dear. "Hallie, please wake up," She said nudging her. When nothing happened, Lauretta was even more perplexed. should she leave her here while she went to get Madam Pomfrey? Should she get someone to stay with Hallie while she ran? Should someone go get Madam Pomfrey while she stayed?
Without even beings sure what she had decided, Lauretta left the room and left the Ravenclaw dormitories. As she watched the picture close behind her she realized that she had no recollection of what the password was. I guess I've made my choice now. then.
Lauretta began running down the corridor towards the infirmary. Or she thought she was running towards the infirmary anyways; she was so frightened for Hallie that she didn't pay much attention to where she was going. When she was finally stopped by an invisible wall that began to giggle when she ran into it, she was utterly lost within the castle.
She ran her hand along the wall to figure out where the corner was, embarrassing herself immensely as the wall let out a hearty guffaw. She was very glad that there was no one there to hear it.
When she found the corner she turned and was surprised to see that there was someone there who was watching the wall with horror. She quickly turned back so she was on the other side of the wall. She peeked around cautiously to get a good look at the man, and to her surprise it was the new Potions professor. His blond hair was askew and he looked as if he had just been running, as he was panting rather loudly. As she peeked around the corner around him she watched, horrified, as he drew out his wand and pointed it directly towards her, although he didn't seem to actually see her.
"Come out whoever you are." He demanded menacingly.
Lauretta froze, paralyzed with fear. He was a teacher. shouldn't she listen to him? But what if he did something to her? She didn't know him at all. and what if he thought she was doing something, or what if he had done something that she wasn't supposed to see? What if she didn't come out and he cursed her? She turned around to see if there was anywhere she could hide, and to her surprise Hermione Granger was standing right behind her, a finger held up to her lips, motioning Lauretta to stay quiet.
Hermione took out her wand and waved it at the invisible wall, miraculously making an arc where they could see through it on the other side in order to see the professor clearly.
He looked extremely flustered and he kept running his hand through his hair. It appeared that the fact that no one had appeared had confused him more, and he turned around, and Lauretta could tell he had lost the direction that the noise was coming from. She almost felt sorry for the man, but then she reminded herself of his harsh tone, and the sympathy dissolved.
Lauretta was also extremely puzzled by the current behavior of the headmistress. She, of all people, shouldn't be fearful of confronting the new professor. She must've hired him. Lauretta was sure that she would NEVER understand grownups.
It was then that Lauretta suddenly remembered why she was there in the first place: she was going to Madame Pomfrey's for Hallie. Lauretta tugged on Hermione's sleeve to get her attention. Hermione looked at her quizzically but put her finger to her lips again. Lauretta tugged at her sleeve again. Hermione glanced at the professor again and then back at Lauretta. She could tell by the urgent look on Lauretta's face that it was important. She began to walk briskly away from the professor motioning for Lauretta to follow.
They turned a corner to find themselves face to face with none other but Harry Potter.
"How does he seem?" Harry asked, giving Lauretta a look before he focused all of his attention on Hermione.
"I'm not sure." Hermione whispered back. "I can't really tell for now, but you need to keep an eye on him, I have to talk to this student."
Harry just nodded and went off in the direction Hermione and Lauretta came from. Lauretta turned around to stare at him.
"Yes, that is Harry Potter, and whatever else you are going to ask about him is none of your business, is that clear?" Hermione said turning towards Lauretta.
Lauretta just nodded numbly. "Yes ma'am."
"Now is there a reason you need to talk to me?"
"Yes," Lauretta replied, forgetting totally about Harry Potter and the new teacher. "Hallie McMillian fainted in the Ravenclaw common room, and she won't wake up with the waking spell, something must be wrong with her."
"I see." Replied Hermione grimly. Well you go get Madame Pomfrey, and I will go find Hallie, okay?"
"Yes'm." Lauretta responded, then scampered down the corridor.
"HEY, WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING!" a familiar looking redheaded boy yelled when Hallie ran straight into him. She looked up at him, blushing furiously and wishing it had been one of the other two triplets.
Giovanni glared down at her, his face turning dangerously scarlet. Lauretta imagined that her face was probably about the same shade, but hers with embarrassment. Just looking at Giovanni when he was in this kind of mood puzzled Lauretta greatly. How could Giovanni, such an angry impatient person even be related to nice Randall?
"You're always such a klutz." Giovanni stormed, "It's no wonder you have no friends. I don't even know why Randy pities you." With that remark, Giovanni strode off. Lauretta just stared after him. Randy just pities me? Is that the only reason he was friendly yesterday?
Lauretta felt tears forming in her eyes. She continued to run through the halls towards the infirmary, trying to brush those thoughts away from her.
Think of Hallie, you're going to get Madame Pomfry for Hallie.
But Lauretta couldn't keep the tears from running down her face as she ran. When she reached the infirmary door she quickly wiped her tears from her face, and took a deep breath and entered.
The first thing Lauretta saw when she entered was "him" as Lauretta had called him. She knew exactly what Hallie had meant now, and she had the incredible desire to throw up. It was the boy who had been attacked last night. It wasn't that he looked disgusting in his appearance, he wasn't that battered, it was just the terrified look plastered to his face.
The boy was still unconscious, and it was apparent that in his dreaming, he was thinking about the attack, and reliving ever horrific moment of it. Periodically he would twitch, and his lip was big and puffy, from where he had apparently been biting it. His hands were also bound to the bed, as Lauretta knew was for his own safety.
She looked away, but almost immediately had to look back again. She was fascinated by this type of thing; after all, she did want to be a mediwizard when she was older. She walked closer to him, in order to get a better look, and was shocked when his eyes flew open. He stared blankly at her, not seeing, and his mouth opened in a silent scream. Lauretta stopped where she was paralyzed by the look. She began to tremble violently, as she had never seen a sight such as this.
Maybe this is what Mom is trying to shield me from. she thought vaguely in the back of her head.
"Madame Pomfrey?" she called out loud tentatively. She glanced back at the boy as there was no answer. "Madame?"
