Chapter 6- Lyndsay's fit
"Here comes Mallory" Keisha sounded exasperated.
Lyndsay, who was currently getting her Maths book out of her locker, looked up the hall and sure enough, Mallory, the short and stout girl with mousy brown hair who they'd met at the pool was practically skipping up the hall.
"OMG! Lyndsay did you hear?" Mallory was completely ignoring Keisha.
"What?" Lyndsay asked, shutting her locker.
"This girl was kidnapped! Or so the police think. They think there is some sort of child abuser on the loose!" Mallory cried in her squeaky voice.
"Girl?" Lyndsay asked, suddenly looking alert.
"Yeah there's an Article on the front page of the paper" Mallory explained.
"Is it someone we know?" Keisha asked, clearly interested as nothing happened in Hereford.
"I don't know, do you know anyone named Anita---
The rest Mallory's words didn't make it to Lyndsay's ears as she had just fainted on the floor.

"We're doing everything we can Mrs. Surmon. We have many officers on the case"
"I'M HERE! WHY CAN'T YOU SEE ME! I AM HERE! MUM! PLEASE MUM! I'M HERE!"

Lyndsay's eyes snapped open. A man in a white coat was leaning over her.
"Is she going to be okay?" Keisha's voice sounded as if she had been crying.
"What happened?" Lyndsay asked, sitting up.
"You passed out on the floor and began to shake like you were having a fit." Keisha sniffed.
"Oh" was all Lyndsay could manage.
"Do you have a history of epilepsy in your family?" The man, clearly an ambulance officer asked.
Lyndsay shook her head. She knew this wasn't health related. This was magic related.

"They're never going to let you leave" Jess told Carlie as they walked to Professor McGonagall's office. The reason no one thought it was weird that Jess Mcairn and Carlie Mason were talking to each other like old friends walking the halls of Hogwarts was because no one could see them. Jess's invisibly skills were getting better.
"Hey I can try can't I?" Carlie said who was unaware at that very moment that her one of her best friends was at the hospital.
"And what will happen to me exactly?" Jess asked.
"I don't know. Jess the only reason I ever came to Hogwarts was because I wanted to find out about my father and I was interested about magic. Both of those reasons are gone. I know who my father is and I have a much more powerful magic" Carlie explained.
"What about me?" Jess asked.
Carlie looked at him; well she hoped she was looking at him. It was hard to tell when you were invisible.
"I—you can always stay at my place over the holidays" Carlie stammered.
"Carlie, why do you have this sudden need to go back to Hereford?"
Carlie didn't know what to say. There were so many reason but none were very logical.
"I just do" She answered and knocked on Professor McGonagall's door. Jess sighed and waved his hand, making Carlie completely visible.
"Yes" McGonagall's voice called.
Carlie opened the door but didn't realize Jess had just come in also.
"Yes, Miss Mason?" She asked, looking up from a pile of parchment.
"Er....well...is it possible to leave Hogwarts. Like as in going to another school?" Carlie asked.
She looked up surprised. "Magic schools don't offer transfers unless it's an exchange program" (A/N: There is a magic exchange program. It said so in GoF about Bill having a pen-friend from some country)
"No. I mean as in leave Hogwarts and go to a muggle school" Carlie said.
McGonagall looked extremely surprised.
"You'd have to talk to Professor Dumbledore but I'm quite sure he'd say no"
"Okay, I'll talk to him then" Carlie said, turning back to the door.
"Told you" Jess hissed and both Carlie and McGonagall jumped. Before she could ask, Carlie rushed out of her office.

"I'm fine, I just fainted because of lack of sleep that's all" Lyndsay cried as the doctor shook his head.
"Miss Gareth, your school mates said you were twitching as if you were having an epileptic fit, we just want to keep you here until the test results come back"
"And how long will that be?" Lyndsay asked.
"About twenty-four hours" He replied.
"What! I can't stay here! God! You are being ridiculous!" Lyndsay exclaimed.
"It will only be for a short while."
"But I'm not epileptic!" Lyndsay groaned.
"We will see after the test results come back"
"Great" Lyndsay rolled her eyes.

"Why are you doing this?" Jess moaned as Carlie marched up to the gargoyle entrance of Dumbledore's office.
"Because this summer reminded me of all the things I'm going to miss out on. The last few summers I haven't been with all of my friends as a group. This summer was different. Everything was great and it reminded me of what my life was like was before all this!" Carlie said.
"But you will always have a connection to magic. You know that" Jess told her.
"I know but, there is something that the muggle world has that the wizarding world doesn't. It's really hard to explain but I want to be apart of it all again." Carlie said.
Jess groaned and Carlie looked at the gargoyle. "Sour Worms"
The gargoyle began to move and Carlie jumped on the stairs.

2:34. It was 2:34 and Nathan was on the edge of his seat to see if Lyndsay was alright. 2:35. He really wished he could speed up time or at least orb there to see Lyndsay. But no. He was stuck in this school until 3 o'clock and there was nothing he could do about it.

"Professor Dumbledore?" Carlie asked as she pushed open the door.
"Miss Mason, what brings you to my office?"
Carlie walked up to Dumbledore's desk and took a deep breath.
"Can I leave Hogwarts?"
He raised his eyebrows. "For family reason you can for a little while but –"
"No" Carlie cut him off "I mean as in leave and not coming back"
"Where will you go?"
"This school that's near my house" Carlie told him.
"A Muggle school?"
"Yeah. I don't think I belong in the wizarding world" Carlie told him and it wasn't a lie. She didn't think she belonged.
"Is this about your father?" Dumbledore asked.
Carlie almost laughed but then realized it was a really good excuse. "Yeah, I found out about him and I don't think I should be here-"
"You've been here for the last two years and no one has said a word" Dumbledore reminded her.
"That's because I didn't know!" Carlie cried very convincingly.
"Nonsense, your parents do not determine who you are"
Carlie sighed "But all my friends are in Hereford"
"You're friends will always be your friends no matter where you go to school"
"I just—realized a few things this summer sir" Carlie said.
"I don't think your mother would be happy about this" Dumbledore pointed out.
"She didn't want me to come at all!" Carlie exclaimed.
"I know Miranda has a few, problems with what happened but I know she wants you here"
"Can't I go? Is there any sort of wizarding law that says I have to be here?" Carlie asked, the law sometimes had good loopholes.
"Yes. There is. Unless you are expelled you have to stay until your owls."
"Can you expel me?" Carlie asked hopefully.
Dumbledore chuckled. "I'm afraid not. Would you like a sherbet lemon?" He offered her the packet.
"Yeah sure" Carlie grabbed one when Nathan's voice blared into her head
/Lyndsay is in the hospital. She had a fit at school/
Carlie quickly spun around and ran out of Dumbledore's office without explanation.

"Lyndsay guess what! Everyone is talking about you!" Tegan announced when the came into Lyndsay's hospital room.
"I only fainted!" Lyndsay cried exasperated.
"I brought you some flowers" Jax handed Lyndsay some yellow flowers which Lyndsay had a sneaking suspicion that he stole from someone's garden.
"How did you all get here?" Lyndsay asked, knowing that they wouldn't all fit in someone's car.
"My mum and Keisha's Dad dropped us here" Jason told her.
"Wow! All we need is Carlie and Jess and the crew is all here" Lyndsay laughed.
"Since when did Jess become part of our crew?" Jason asked.
"I thought he did since he spent the whole summer with us" Lyndsay said.
"Jess is cool" Lewis said.
"Yeah and hot" Tegan grinned.
"He thought you were hot too" Nathan remarked.
"Next time we see him I'll ask him out" Tegan decided.
As if on cue Jess and Carlie (still in there Hogwarts uniforms) ran into the room.
"Carlie!" Keisha screeched.
"Nice clothes" Lewis remarked.
Both Carlie and Jess looked down at themselves and realized they were still in their uniforms.
"Oh yeah" Carlie shrugged "these are our uniforms"
"And I thought our uniforms were bad" Tegan remarked.
"How did you get here?" Keisha asked.
"The train" Carlie answered.
"Wow. That's a fast train!" Jax laughed.
"No, Nathan—rang us ages ago to tell us and we came straight away" Jess answered.
"Nathan! Why did you do that?" Lyndsay moaned.
"Hey Tegan what were you saying about next time you see Jess that you'd ask him out?" Lewis asked mischievously.
Jess began to go red and Carlie ignored it all and went to talk to her best friend.
"What happened? Did you have a vision? Or was it a demon?" Carlie whispered.
"It was sort of a vision. But it was different, it was really weird. I was shouting stuff that I didn't want to shout. Like it wasn't me watching in on someone else but being in the person while it was happening" Lyndsay explained quietly as Tegan asked out Jess. Who accepted.
"Oh that's soooo romantic!" A whinny voice drawled.
Mallory who was carrying a box of chocolates had appeared at the door.
"Hey Mallory" Lyndsay said a hint of annoyance in her voice.
"I just had to see you!" Mallory rushed over and gave Lyndsay a hug. "I mean I was there after all"
"Thanks Mallory" Lyndsay said while most of the group were either snickering or rolling their eyes.
"Are you alright? Are you going to have to stay here?" Mallory asked as she placed her chocolates on the table.
"Yeah I'll be out by tomorrow" Lyndsay reassured her.
"Oh good. Class has been such a bore without you" Mallory laughed.
After talking about their events at school (Jess and Carlie lying a little by saying Professor Snape taught 'science') Lyndsay's parents had showed up and everyone caught the drift about getting out.
"That was nice of your friends to see you" Mrs. Gareth commented after the group had left.
"Yeah" Lyndsay sighed and grabbed for the box of chocolates.
"The doctors told us that you'll be out if you don't have another fit-"Mrs. Gareth didn't finished her sentence as Lyndsay began to shake with her eyes wide open on the bed.

"Mr. Surmon you say that you went to pick you sister up and you waited for about half an hour before leaving the park?"
"Yes sir" Pete answered.
"PETE! PETE I'M RIGHT HERE! PETE PLEASE! I'M HERE! PETEY I'M HERE!"
0000000000000000000000000000000
Carlie and Jess had decided to drop in on Miranda before orbing back to Hogwarts. The Green Leaf was busy (it was the dinner shift) but what came as a surprise was Pete Surmon getting integrated by two policemen.
Sara spotted Carlie immediately and rushed over. "What are you two doing here?"
"We came on a train because of Lyndsay" Jess explained.
"What's with the police?" Carlie asked.
"Didn't you hear? Pete's sister disappeared yesterday"

Yeah I'm happy now since we can get to the good bits of solving the mystery and they get to use their powers.
PLEASE REVIEW!
