Chapter 19

Fiona was the first to speak. "Look who it is! It's Heather, Jackie and Danielle. But what happened to them?"

The three girls were soaking wet. Heather was squinting her eyes, Jackie had one shoe and one sock and Danielle's nose was bleeding.

Madame Hooch blew her whistle.

"Looks like the Gryffindor captain has called out another time-out!" announced Fiona. There were a lot of boos from the Hufflepuff side.

Nehal and the rest off the team flew down to meet Jackie. Ian and Draco ran from the stands to meet them.

"What's wrong?" asked Draco. "Why did you-"He had just caught sight of Jackie. "Oh!"

"Honey what happened to you?" Ian said concerned

Danielle said, "Oh Ian it's my entire fault."

Ian gave Danielle a hug. "Shh…it's okay Danie. I'm here now. What happened?"

Jackie quickly said, "Nothing happened."

Draco raised an eyebrow at Jackie. "Nothing happened?"

"Yeah that's right! Nothing happened."

Just then Professor McGonagall and Madame Hooch walked onto the pitch towards the girls.

"Uh oh!" said Fiona. "Looks like something fishy is going on here! This may take awhile folks so why don't you just relax and go get yourself a nice juicy hotdog at the snack bar."

Professor Flitwick (Spelling?) whispered into Fiona's ear, "There are no snack bars here."

"Right…" Fiona sighed. "Sometimes I get carried away with my fantasies."

"What on earth happened here? I demand to know what is going on!" said Professor McGonagall

Danielle spoke, "Professor it was my entire fault!"

Heather said, "No Danielle it was my fault!"

Professor McGonagall looked at Jackie. "Care to explain?"

"Um…not really."

"Well that's too bad. One of you three is going to explain what happened."

The girls looked at each other.

"Well?"

There was silence.

"Hurry up, you're holding up the match!"

Jackie said, "Well you see Professor I hurt my ankle like really bad so like I couldn't be able to play the match. But my two friends here thought I was just pulling a prank but really I wasn't so they came and found me and we were just talking in the change room when out of the blue Moaning Myrtle came and splashed us with water and we started to get into a fight. Like Myrtle slapped Danielle and it was like BAM! Heather got my broom and hit Myrtle with but of course it didn't affect her so she fell to the ground so she grabbed the broom from Heather's hand and hit her with it and she fell to the ground and she was like WHAM! And then she kind of looked at me and I was like bring it on and she was like oh but it's already on and…"

Professor McGonagall stopped Jackie, "You can stop talking now Miss Allan."

Ian looked at Danielle, "Myrtle slapped you?"

"Er…" Danielle said trying to remember

Jackie interrupted Danielle, "Yes she did slap Danielle. Don't you remember Danie?"

"I don't think…"

"I guess not. That fall must have hurt."

Professor McGonagall said, "Miss Allan I don't think you're in well enough condition to play today."

"Say what?"

"I don't think that you're in well enough condition to play today."

Jackie's jaw dropped, "You mean I came out here looking like Rob Zombie and now you tell me that I can't play?"

"Miss Allan don't use that tone with me."

"You sound like my parents."

"Good. You three should go see Madame Pomfrey now."

"No not her! Anybody but her!"

"Just go."

"But Professor I want really want to play."

"I'm sorry Miss Allan, but there are always other games."

Nehal said, "But Professor you don't understand. She has to play today!"

"I understand that were losing but you're going to have to except this Miss Pradhan."

Nehal kept her mouth shot.

Danielle sighed, "Come on guys, let's go."

Danielle and Heather put their arms around Jackie and went to the hospital wing. Ian and Draco went back to the stands. Madame Hooch blew her whistle and the game started back up again.

Daryl whispered to Nehal, "Do you have a plan B?"

Nehal opened her mouth to say something but nothing came out. She tried again but didn't say anything.

"You look like a fish."

Nehal glared at Daryl.

So the three girls walked into the hospital wing.

Madame Pomfrey smirked, "Hello girls. I've been expecting you. Please sit down."

The girls obeyed and sat down.

Jackie whispered, "I don't trust her. I don't think she's a real nurse."

Heather whispered, "So you're saying that you don't think Pomfrey's got her PHD yet?""

Jackie nodded her head, "She's evil."

Madame Pomfrey said, "Alright who wants to be my first victim…I mean who wants to be my first patient."

Jackie pointed to Danielle, Danielle to Heather and Heather pointed to Jackie.

"Fine then, I'll choose." Madame Pomfrey did the eenie meenie minny moe thing. She ended up pointing at Heather.

Heather gulped.

"Come with me child."

Heather said, "Bye guys, nice knowing you."

Danielle said, "We'll remember you fondly."

Madame Pomfrey took Heather into a room.

Heather looked around the room. This was no ordinary nurse's office. There were skeleton bones lying on the floor, walls covered with cobwebs and books about trying to kill people were on the dusty old bookshelf. Heather went over to look at the book shelf. There were books called How to murder a baby, How to cook a child and The dummies guide to writing death threats.

"Death threats." thought Heather. "Where have I heard that before? Oh yeah Harry keeps getting them…" Just then Heather realized something. "Maybe Madame Pomfrey is going to kill Harry!" Dun Dun Dun.

Madame Pomfrey tapped on Heather on the shoulder.

Heather jumped.

Madame Pomfrey replied, "Here I have a cloth with water in it so you'll be able to wash away the perfume."

"Oh…thank you." Heather didn't know if she should take the cloth but she did anyways. I mean what harm can a cloth do to you?

"By the way you smell good. Did you get Glow by J-LO in your eye?"

"Yeah I think so, I'm not really sure though."

"Mmm…tasty." Madame Pomfrey licked her lips.

"Oh my cognit!" thought Heather.

Meanwhile Jackie and Danielle were whispering to each other.

"What do you think their doing in there?" asked Jackie

Danielle shrugged her shoulders. "Don't know but I hope your next."

Jackie glared at Danielle. "Well when she sees your bloody nose she's gonna want to see you next."

"I doubt it."

"Ya that's right…wait what did you say?"

"She'll want to deal with your ankle first."

"D'oh!" (Homer Simpson style) "Man, there's got to be a way that I can play today."

"Well…how about you just go out there and play?"

"Danielle I can't go out there. You heard McGonagall."

"Since when did you listen to her?" Danielle smiled mischievously.

Just when Jackie was about to respond, Madame Pomfrey appeared. "While I'm dealing with Miss Reid in the torture chamber, I'll get my assistant to deal with you two."

"Assistant?" asked Jackie

"Deal with us?" asked Danielle

Madame Pomfrey smirked, "Yepp, he's in college you know…alright here he is…goodbye!"

The college guy said, "Alright which one of you is Jackie Allan?"

"That's me." Jackie said raising her arm up in the air.

"Alright I'll be helping you with your ankle. I just need to get the supplies. Be right back."

Jackie looked at Danielle, "Okay genius how am I supposed to escape this evil layer now?"

Danielle looked at the college guy who was reaching into his bag and sorting through various supplies. She then looked back at Jackie. "It's obvious isn't?"

"Uh no." answered Jackie, unsure of what Danielle was talking about.

"Seduce him."

"Say what?"

"Seduce him; work your Jackie Allan charm on him."

"I don't have a charm Danie."

"Yes you do. Just pretend its Malfoy."

"I can't do it. "

"Why not?"

"Because I'm not pretty enough and if I do that, he'll think I'm a complete baboon."

"Trust me there are other ways for him to think you are a complete baboon."

Jackie laughed. "That's true. But look at my face, what am I supposed to do about this?"

Danielle said, "Here." She gave Jackie her mirror so Jackie could rub off the glitter.

"Okay is this better?"

"Much better."

Jackie looked back at the college guy. "Are you sure this going to work?"

"Did my idea of getting your foot out of the toilet work?"

"Yes."

"So then this will, don't be afraid Jaxs. You can do it."

"Okay…I'm going in." Jackie walked over to one of the beds, so the college guy could tie the bandage sling around her ankle.

(Some of this is from One Tree Hill! Oh yeah it's back on Global. I am so exited about this, it's like not even funny…it's more pathetic okay sorry on with the story)

"Ow, that's too tight" cried Jackie

The college guy made an adjustment. "There. How's that?"

"Too loose." Jackie paused. "Ow, that's too tight." Jackie then looked over at Danielle and Danielle gave her an impatient look. Jackie smiled at the college guy. "So you're in college, right?"

"Junior."

"Oh… you know, I love college guys." Jackie bit her lip hoping she was doing the seducing right. "Two more years, you'll be a doctor."

The college guy laughed. "Uh, not exactly."

"So tell me, Doctor College Boy. If you wanted to give me something for the pain, you could, right?"

Danielle thought, "Uh oh, this wasn't part of the plan. She was supposed to escape the evil layer! What is she doing?"

The college guy answered, "Well, Madame Pomfrey would have to…"

Jackie adjusted her position on the bed so she was showing off her legs. She rubbed her hand up and down her legs and smiled.

"I could, I could maybe do that." answered the college guy

Jackie held her hand out and the college guy opened a bottle of pills.

"Wait. You're not a cop, are you?"

Jackie laughed. "No. I'm a student attending this school."

The college guy handed her a pill.

"One more for tomorrow… please."

"Okay, here's the thing. Those are really strong painkillers."

The college guy turned around to get Jackie water and she swallowed both the pills. "So just take, like, a half of one. Every twelve hours." He turned around to face Jackie.

"Oops! All gone!"

Danielle rolled her eyes. "I can take it from here Dr. College boy."

The college guy nodded his head and ran away.

Jackie laughed, "Oh my gosh that was so much fun!"

Danielle replied, "Yeah it looked like you were having a bit too much fun there Jaxs."

"Yeah well…I should probably get going now. Thanks Danie." Jackie ran from the hospital wing and down the corridors before Danielle could ask her about the painkillers.

"Great now what do I do?" said Danielle

Madame Pomfrey said, "Now I'm going to give you a needle."

Heather's eyes widened when she saw the needle. "Is that really necessary?" Heather wasn't afraid of needles…just with Madame Pomfrey holding one she was now extremely afraid.

"No it's not but I just like doing it for the fun of it. Now hold still."

Heather screamed, "Ahhh!" She prayed that Danielle and Jackie would hear her.

Meanwhile, Jackie kept running down the corridor with her broom but all of a sudden she bumped into something and fell over. Jackie looked up but nothing was there.

"Damn you Smith!" said a familiar voice. "Trust you to be navigator!" Jackie looked around but no one was there.

Jackie then thought, "Is this another one of those invisible barriers that I bumped into last year. Omg that was so embarrassing because Draco was there…"

"Shh!" Ian hissed. He looked down to see who they had bumped into.

Draco also looked down and saw Jackie on the ground who looks extremely confused. "Oh great." He muttered

Jackie looked around. She kept on hearing these familiar voices but didn't see anybody. Jackie stood up and picked up her broom.

Ian whispered to Draco, "Come on say something…your invisible this is your chance do something."

While Jackie was looking the other way Ian took the cloak off him. "Jackie!"

Jackie spun around. "Where did you come from?" She said looking past Ian.

"From the stands, I was watching the stands."

"Oh…um…I see."

"Is Danielle in the hospital wing?"

"No she's play Quidditch."

Ian raised an eyebrow.

Jackie exclaimed, "It was a joke! I was being sarcastic."

"Okay…well…whatever thanks for the help. I'll see you later."

Draco looked at Jackie. He wanted to say something to her but he wasn't really quite sure of what to say. Draco used to be such a charmer with the ladies but now all the girls have backed off because everyone knew that he still liked Jackie. "Okay." Draco thought. "I have to talk to her."

Jackie started running to the pitch. Draco who was behind her took off the cloak and called out her name.

Jackie turned around, "Yes Draco?"

Draco smirked, "I thought you hurt my ankle."

Jackie thought nobody was watching her so she didn't pretend to have a sprained ankle. She ran over towards Draco. "Draco please you can't tell anybody about this…not even Ian."

"Why would I tell Smith?"

"Because you guys are friends."

"Yeah true but I don't even tell Smith my deepest and darkest secrets."

"But you'll tell Nehal?"

"What?"

"I wish I could tell you but I can't because then if I did tell you I would have to shoot myself."

Draco laughed, "Yeah I can understand that. But you sure you don't want to tell me? I find that you feel better if you get it out of your system."

"Sorry Draco I can't really tell you." Jackie then ran off towards the pitch.

Draco ran his hands through his hair in frustration.

Jackie walked onto the pitch. The crowd cheered when they saw her.

Fiona said, "Looks its Jackie. And it looks like she's actually going to play. Gryffindor sure could use the help."

Madame Hooch blew the whistle. Harry and Jackie switched places.

Harry said, "Good luck."

Jackie smiled. "Thanks."

George Mcfordge said, "Wow you certainly look like a fright."

"Excuse me? Did you just say that I look like a fright?"

"Yeah that's what I said."

"Well…you look…like your mom!" That was the best diss Jackie could come up with at the time.

George whispered to the other Hufflepuff Quidditch players, "How does she know my mom? She's never met her before."

The game started up again. The score was 90-70. Gryffindor was catching up.

Both Jackie and the Hufflepuff seeker Rick Steiner were searching for the snitch.

Meanwhile, Ian entered the hospital wing and saw Danielle sitting down on an empty bed. "Hey." He sat down beside Danielle wrapping his arms around her shoulders.

Danielle said, "Ian? What are you doing here?"

"I came to visit you. You visited me while I was in here."

"That's right! And then we got into a fight. How could I forget that?"

Ian smiled. "Where's Heather?"

"She's with Pomfrey." answered Danielle. "She's been in there for such a long time. And the bad thing is that I'm going to be next, since Jackie left to play in the game."

"She's that desperate?"

"Oh yeah, Jackie loves Quidditch."

"Well she should have been here two years ago when Victor Krum came to our school."

"Victor Krum? The famous seeker for Bulgaria?"

"Yeah he came for the Twizard Tournament that our school was having…I'm surprised you would know who he is Danie. I thought you didn't like Quidditch."

"I don't Ian. But Krum is always on the front page of the Daily Prophet. How could you not know who he is?"

Ian and Danielle both looked at each other and smiled.

"Ahh!" They heard someone scream, interrupting their moment.

Danielle said, "Omg that sounded like Heather!" Danielle walked over to the door. "Heather? Madame Pomfrey? What's going on?"

Madame Pomfrey was trying to give Heather the needle but Heather refused this treatment and kept running and hiding.

Madame Pomfrey said, "Come on your not afraid of a little needle are you?"

"No, of course not. I'm just afraid of you with the needle." replied Heather

Madame Pomfrey was on the other side of the table that was standing in the center of the room. While Heather was trying to run away from her by standing on the other side of the table.

Heather and Madame Pomfrey started to run around the table in circles. Heather then ran towards the door. She looked back and saw Madame Pomfrey running towards her with a needle in one hand and a pot in the other. "Die dipshit!"

Heather then opened the door and slammed it in Madame Pomfrey's face. Madame Pomfrey then sank to the ground.

Danielle said, "Heather are you okay?"

Heather answered, "Yeah I'm fine but I don't think she is."

"What did you do to her?" asked Ian

"Nothing! She just collapsed to the ground."

Just then Draco arrived to the scene. "Hey is everybody all right?"

"Not really." said Heather, "We have an unconscious nurse on the ground."

"Oh…I see…what should we do?"

"We could always transfer schools." suggested Ian

Danielle said, "Maybe we should try to wake her up and then run away!"

Heather laughed, "Run away…that's funny except McGonagall would know that it was us because she was the one who sent us here."

"Well we could use a charm on her to get her to wake up and then…we don't run away."

Draco smirked, "We could use my invisibility cloak to get her out of here."

"You have one of those things too?" asked Heather

"Ya my father bought it for me."

"What doesn't he buy for you." muttered Ian

Danielle reached for her pocket to get her wand but she realized that it wasn't there. "Uh oh." she thought.

Ian seemed to read Danielle's thoughts by her facial expression. "What's wrong baby?"

"My wand…it's gone."

"Did you leave it anywhere?" asked Draco

"I don't think so. I took the wand with me when we went to…" Danielle looked at Heather.

"The washroom." Heather answered Danielle's sentence. "With Jackie." They both suddenly remembered the spell that they were under and the only person who was in the washroom with them at the time was Jackie. So right away they knew that Jackie must have Danielle's wand.

Ian and Draco both looked at Danielle and Heather who seemed to have an understanding of some sort.

"Shit." said Danielle

Ian said. "Hey don't worry we can use my wand."

Draco scoffed, "Do you even know what spell to use?"

Ian thought about Draco's question. "No."

Danielle said, "Ian point the wand at Pomfrey and say bring me to life!"

Ian did as he was told by his girlfriend.

Madame Pomfrey opened her eyes and slowly lifted her head up. "What happened here?" Before she could ask another question, Danielle, Heather, Ian and Draco put the cloak on themselves and walked off to the match.

At the match, Jackie was busy thinking to herself, "This is soo boring. Why doesn't that stupid snitch just appear whenever you want it to appear?"

As if Jackie's words were magic the snitch appeared and Rick started chasing it.

Jackie kicked her broom and followed Rick until she caught up to him.

Rick glared at Jackie and started to pick up speed but that didn't stop Jackie because she was right beside him. Rick knew that the only way to get Jackie away was to throw her off track. "So…you and Colt?"

"Say what?" yelled Jackie. "What are you talking about?"

"I heard that your boyfriend and girlfriend now."

"We're just friends. Where did you hear this from?"

"I have my sources…why are you so mad? I thought you wanted to be Colt's girlfriend."

Jackie was so mad at Rick that she didn't realize he was leading her off somewhere. But then after 2 minutes of chasing after the snitch, Jackie realized that the snitch wasn't in front of her anymore. Now it was her to turn to lead Rick off track. "So I heard you like Lucille?"

"Who's Lucille?"

"Don't play games with me Rick. I know you like her. I know you want her very badly."

"Huh? I don't even know who you're talking about."

"But I think you know…I saw you and Lucille last night." Jackie tried to contain her smile and laughter which were slowly creeping up on her face. She hoped it wouldn't be visible to Rick. "You were by the lake."

"Last night I had Quidditch practice."

"Boy, you so crazy. I saw you two lip-locking."

"Okay first of all, I don't even know somebody who goes by the name Lucille…"

"Yes yo do! Stop denying it Rick. I know everything."

"Shut up!"

"Shut up? I beg your pardon…oh wow what do you know I've practically caught the snitch." Before Rick could say anything to Jackie she kicked her broom and zoomed off to the other side of the pitch. "I'm gonna get it." Jackie looked back to see if Rick was behind her but it looked like he had given up. Jackie stood up on her broom and reached out her hand to catch the snitch. "Almost there…just a little bit further." Jackie could feel the muscles in her arm stretching.

Nehal looked at Jackie. "Come on Jaxs you can do it." Nehal then thought, "Hope she doesn't fall of her broom."

Jackie reached out and caught the snitch. "Yes!"

Madame Hooch blew her whistle.

"Gryffindor wins! Wow that was one crazy match." said Fiona

All the Gryffindors flew to the ground to congratulate Jackie.

Jackie forgot that she was standing on her broom, so she looked and saw that she was about to crash into a wall. Jackie tied to turn her broom around but that didn't work because she was standing on it so she fell. "Ahh!" Jackie looked around and hoped that no one saw her but they all did because lots of people from the stands were running towards her to see if she was okay. Jackie didn't think it was a big deal but little did she know that she actually sprained her ankle. (That's why the title of this chapter is Ironic) Even Draco, Ian, Danielle and Heather came by but then they took off the cloak.

Nehal was the first to speak. "Jackie are you alright? That was some fall."

"Yeah I'm okay." Jackie tried to get up but as soon as she put weight on her left foot she fell back down. "Ow! Holy shit that hurts."

Nehal whispered to Ron, "I think she actually sprained her ankle this time."

"Bloody hell." said Ron, "Well at least she's had lots of practice pretending to have it sprained."

"What did I do?" asked Jackie. She felt very small and insignificant because she was just sitting on the ground while many people surrounded her in a circle.

Professor McGonagall pushed her way through the crowd. She knew that something fishy was going on. "Stand up Miss Allan!"

Jackie tried to stand up but she fell back down. Some people who were around her laughed.

Professor McGonagall replied, "Stand up Miss Allan!"

Nehal and Ron grabbed Jackie's arms and yanked her up. Jackie was balanced between them.

"Well, well. Looks like Madame Pomfrey didn't heal your ankle after all."

"It was her assistant Dr. College boy."

Danielle slapped her hand over her forehead.

Ian looked at Danielle. "What's going on?" He whispered

"Nothing. Don't worry about it."

"I'm sorry Miss Allan if Madame Pomfrey or Dr. College boy healed your ankle then the spell would last up to 24 hours." stated Professor McGonagall.

"Well…um…maybe the spell went wrong." suggested Jackie

"That's clearly impossible because she is a qualified nurse."

Heather interrupted, "Actually Professor she's really not that qualified for the job."

"Was I talking to you Miss Reid?"

"No you weren't." answered Heather

Professor McGonagall turned her attention back to Jackie. "Miss Allan I have never seen any sort of act like this in my whole teaching career."

Jackie suddenly felt guilty and sad.

Nehal saw the look on Jackie's face and said, "She's usually not like this. She's quite the goody two shoes."

Professor McGonagall ignored Nehal. "For the serious consequences of your actions you will receive 3 weeks detention starting tomorrow after Hogsmede."

"3 weeks!" exclaimed Jackie

"Yes you will be working in the hospital wing everyday at 8:00."

"3 weeks!"

"And I know this is mean of me to do this but I feel that it is best. I must take 100 points off Gryffindor for your actions."

All the Gryffindors groaned and looked at Jackie.

"3 weeks!"

"Yes Miss Allan I thought we already established that."

Jackie didn't know if it was from the weather, the 3 weeks of detention or the pill she took but she felt extremely light headed. "I think I'm gonna faint." Jackie fainted into Ron's arms.

Professor McGonagall then walked away feeling quite satisfied with herself.

"Er…a little help here." said Ron

"Just put her on the ground. GENTLY." said Nehal

While this was happing all the Hufflepuff Quidditch players were talking amongst each other.

Rick said, "Stupid chick. She's only doing that for attention."

They all nodded their heads and agreed except for Rocky and Colt.

Rocky sighed, "Look at Nehal. She looks so gorgeous."

Colt said, "Well wait till tomorrow when we take as dates tomorrow."

Rocky and Colt gave each other high fives and went to the Hufflepuff change rooms.

A/N: Wow that chapter took forever to write. Anyways the next chapter is going to be good. If you're a fan of Nehal/Draco pairing and Heather/Tommy pairing then you will want to read the next chapter for sure.
