Don't own it..
Wow those lights are really bright, am I awake? Where am I? I'm starting to hear voices, they're talking softly… Are they in my head?
"Look I think she's coming to," one voice said.
I must be groaning. "Water," I choke out before opening my eyes, and laughing slightly until it hurts, which was soon. Ouch…
"You got stitches," Gwen said grinning and checking out my head.
"I'm not wrapped up in those white bandages that make me look like a mummy, right?" I'm afraid. And I refuse to leave until they're removed.
Gwen was smirking, "Yeah you look like the mummy," she laughed.
"Don't make me laugh," I groaned.
Madam Pomfrey then came rushing over, "good, you're awake. Now tell me what happened," she demanded shoving chocolate at me.
I unwrapped the chocolate slowly thinking of what to say, then stuffed it into my mouth and began talking in gibberish, looking to Gwen and Madam Pomfrey, moving my arms around eccentrically.
Gwen nodded, understanding that I was talking in circles and couldn't get my point across, "Madam Pomfrey, she's delusional right now, maybe you could talk to her later?"
"No, chew and swallow Ms. Ross, you are not leaving until I get the full story," the medi-witch commanded.
I chewed slowly, finishing and swallowed loudly, "Um, uh, Gwen and I skipped Runes and Potions after lunch and when our friends came in to change our books, Ruby Herring and I raced to asked a boy to the Yule Ball-"
"And this boy is?" Madam Pomfrey asked.
I glared at her, what the hell's it to you bitch?
"I must know all the details, Ms. Ross, to give an accurate report to the Headmaster," she shrugged.
She just wants the details so she can entertain herself with our stories because she has no life, Merlin I'm bitter.
"Marcus Flint," I mumble and continue on, "when we were sprinting down a corridor, Ruby shoved me into a wall and I hit my head. When I looked up, I cast Flippendo on her and asked him to the dance, and he said yes, so she got pissed-"
"Language!"
Damn, I hate being interrupted. "Sorry, mad, and slammed a bucket on my head calling me a cow and walking off. When I got back to the dorms, I passed out," I finished truthfully.
Madam Pomfrey nodded and walked off, I'm guessing to tell Dumbledore, who was sitting off to the side, no doubt he heard most of the conversation. Professor Snape entered and swooshed over to Dumbledore and Madam Pomfrey. Now I say 'swooshed' because that's the sound that his robes make when he walks in a hurry. It's quite entertaining when you're not laying in a stiff hospital bed.
Gwen was looking at me concerned but I was trying not to pay attention, but my focus shifted as the doors opened once again as Rene and Kelly entered with Fred and George. Whoa, Fred and George came to see me?
Nope, guess not cause they walked past me to the bed next to mine, which was occupied by none other than Oliver Wood. I hate them damn Gryffies so much I'm grinding my teeth.
"Hey Bailey," Kelly says patting my hand.
"It's only a flesh wound, I'll survive and be back on my feet in a few days," I fake, I don't know when I'm getting out of here but I hope it's soon.
Snape is coming over now, I can see his nostrils flaring, now I know I'm in trouble. "Ms. Ross, the stunt that you and Ms. Herring performed today was childish, irresponsible and was a poor sense of judgment on both of your parts, you could have injured another student and you set a terrible example for other younger Slytherins. Therefore fifteen points will be taken from Slytherin and you will both serve detention with me. Ms. Herring first, and you, when you are capable of doing so again," Snape nodded and swooshed his way out.
The girls were all looking at me, waiting for me to respond, but I was just staring ahead. I'm really tired, it must be the blood loss.
I can hear Dumbledore talking with Wood next to me, I'm fading in and out. The girls are gone when I come to. Dumbledore is walking past me with a stern looks on his face and I can hear Madam Pomfrey give Wood the okay to leave, and I can see the outline of someone walking past me before I'm down again.
BV- Thanks, and I wasn't going to use Prom as an excuse, I was actually hoping to get ideas from it! But as you can see, nothing's really holding me back now!
