A/N: Sorry if this chapter is really short. I wrote it in a Geoggers class, so I couldn't pay full attention to what I was writing.

Disclaimer: I own nothing except Elifdin, spectres and Fodhla. They are mine……all mine! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……………………………………….

Chapter 2: A Confusing Explanation

"Poppy, how is she doing?"

"Well, Albus, her condition is stable and her temperature is returning to normal but the girl has been through an awful lot. Poor child, it will be a while before she is fully recovered. She should be all right come September.

"Excellent. Thank you, Poppy. I am dreadfully sorry that you had to come here but we couldn't get the girl to Hogwarts in her condition."

"I understand."

"Well, at least she'll be in the best hands. If anyone can help this girl, it is you. I must leave now, but I will be back tomorrow. Owl me if there are any changes."

"I will. Goodbye, Albus."

"Poppy?"

"Yes?"

"Take care of her."

"I will, indeed."

There was the noise of a door closing and someone walking away. Fodhla rolled over in her bed and moaned. She had a terrible headache and she was tired in places that she didn't think could be tired. She also had no idea where she was or how she had gotten there. All she could remember was an old mans face. Surely he was one of the people she had just heard speaking.

"Yes," she thought. "It was his voice that I heard in my head last night, when I was in the alley…."

The alley. Last night. She sat up in her bed, afraid of what she might see.

"No," Fodhla said to herself. "I killed them. They couldn't have taken me hostage."

"Unless they didn't die," said a voice in her head.

"Of course they died. I killed them!"

"How do you know they died? How do you know that they can be killed?" Taunted the voice.

"I just know, okay!" she yelled.

There was a noise and a woman's head appeared in a door at the end of the room. She looked surprised. The face disappeared and a moment later the woman came bustling through the doorway.

"So," she said. "You're awake at last! I was beginning to get worried! It has been over a week! Anyway, how are you feeling? Are you too hot? Too cold? Are you comfortable?" The woman, who was in a nurse's outfit, strode over and started to take Fodhla's pulse. She then put a thermometer in Fodhla's mouth, counted to twenty, took it out and read it. Seemingly satisfied with the results, she produced a syringe and injected its contents into Fodhla's elbow.

Fodhla just sat there, amazed by the speed at which this woman worked. Her brain hadn't even registered what the nurse had said. She just sat there, staring at the woman.

"Well come on girl! Are you going to speak to me at all?"

Fodhla realised that she was being asked something.

"W-Where am I?" she stammered.

"Oh, of course, dear. I have been so inconsiderate," she replied. "You are in the house of Sirius Black and you are his guest. Albus Dumbledore brought you here after your little encounter with those spectres. And my name is Madame Pomfrey."

A small machine in the corner of the roomlet out a puff of red smoke, followed by two puffs of purple smoke.

"Oops! I forgot to give you your Elifdin!"

"What's that?" enquired Fodhla as Madame Pomfrey bustled over to a large cabinet and pulled out a bottle of yellow liquid. She would have asked more about where she was but the last answer was so confusing that she decided to leave it for now.

"Elifdin?" replied the nurse as she returned to the bedside. "Its just a potion that helps your immune system rebuild itself.Your body got quite a shock from that spell you cast."

She extracted a teaspoon from her pocket and poured some Elifdin onto it.

"There you go! And one more! Now, that wasn't so bad, was it?"

Fodhla looked up at the nurse, her eyes as big as saucers. Then, she broke down crying.

"Oh my," exclaimed Madame Pomfrey, putting her arms around the weeping girls shoulders. "I'm sorry! Are you all right?"

As soon as she had started, Fodhla stopped crying.

"Right." said the nurse, looking sideways at Fodhla. "Lets get you cleaned up, then.That is if you are finished?"

Fodhla hiccupped in response.

"All right then. Come on, get up. Sirius wants to meet you."
