Jeni sat at the Ravenclaw table at breakfast, Monday morning. She was still pleased with herself because of her victory, no matter how small it was, over Malfoy on Saturday.
She glanced subconsciously over at the Slytherin table. Dra..MALFOY was there, with his large group of admirers and fellow sons and daughters of deatheaters such as Crabbe, Goyle and Pansy Parkinson. Then, at the other end, she could see Henri Cheng, with his own group: the younger Slytherins and those who ~didn't~ relate with the deatheater group(there can't be many). Henri was in the same year as her - sixth.
Jeni looked back down at her breakfast. Sunny-side-up eggs, bacon and grilled tomatoes. It had smelled delicious before, but now it was getting cold and she wasn't hungry anyway. There was still forty-five minutes till first period so she went upstairs to her dorm.
Sitting on her bed, she thought about what she'd heard recently, mostly yesterday. Rumours had gotten round about Weasley being temporarily turned into a pot-plant during the journey on the train. And even Jeni, friendless as she was, had heard. The teachers thought that the three friends had been mucking around and McGonagall had managed to turn him back quite easily. Jeni rather suspected that this was what Malfoy had done and blackmailed/ransomed himself out of. But Potter had been faithful and not told a soul. Jeni ~had~ found it funny that she hadn't seen Weasley with the other two on the train. it was curious that Hermione couldn't undo it though, wasn't she supposed to be smarter than Malfoy? What kind of spell could it have been? He wouldn't dare use dark magic or something like that that his father had taught him on the train, would he? Shouldn't the teachers be suspicious? They obviously weren't, perhaps the trio did things like this all the time. She didn't know.
It was very confusing.
She couldn't think in the small room.
It was too stuffy.
The other beds in the room were blurring, all she could see was a blue and bronze swirl.
She ~definitely~ didn't feel well.
She needed to get some fresh air.
Jeni managed to stumble to the window and poke her head outside. Thankfully the morning was still cold.
She took a few deep breaths, then grabbed her books and set off downstairs to Herbology.

The Ravenclaws had Herbology with the Slytherins. They were in greenhouse six, and had been working quietly for about fifteen minutes when Henri came over and sat down next to Jeni. She flashed a glance at him, unsure.
'Good morning.' Said Henri.
'Hi.' Replied Jeni, confused.
Henri smiled. 'Malfoy let something slip about the train trip last week, and then all the other idiots in Slytherin had to know the whole story, so everyone in the house knows now.'
'Oh...'Jeni said, not sure what to say at all.
'It sounded very amusing.' Henri told her, still enthusiastic.
'Hmm.' Jeni thought it a rather strange conversation topic, not the kind of thing most people would bring up.
'It's just like something Malfoy would do, turning Weasley into a pot- plant.'
'I didn't really see him.' Jeni muttered to the plant she was working on.
'Oh...too bad.'
'Yes...'
Someone called across the room to Henri and he gave her an apologetic glance and went over to them. Jeni was very confused as to why Henri had been so nice. Slytherins normally didn't get along with any other houses. Wasn't their motto something like, 'If a Gryffindor, Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw trusts you, be glad you aren't them'? Henri was obviously not an average Slytherin. She went back to working on her plant.
The whole event had been confusing and she couldn't stop thinking about Dra...*damn it* MALFOY!! She screamed at herself mentally.
~
Walking back up to the castle, Jeni couldn't help but be confused. Malfoy had told the WHOLE of Slytherin? Why would he do that...but why did she care? Henri was the first to have said anything to her about it, so what did it matter?
She felt ~very~ hot.
Strange, she thought, her brain feeling tired and cloudy, the morning's still cool...I didn't know I'd gotten so unfit over the summer.
She stumbled, her eyes going blurry like before. She kept walking...what was wrong with her?
The muscles in her arms felt weak, they loosened.
Her books fell to the ground, opening on random pages.
The world went black.
Jeni fell heavily on the hard ground as she fainted.
And there was no one around to see.

YAY!! Third chapter done. What more can I say?........oh yeah........REVIEW!!!
