I woke up in the hospital a day later. I heard Fred yell, and James yell and Madam Promfry quiet them.
"Will you two, shut up?" She asked. Her voice got softer "How do you feel?" I tried to sit up, and groaning, I laid back down. "Yeah, I thought so. James? Get me a pepper-up potion from storage."
"Will she be okay?" Fred asked, coming next to me and holding my hand, smiling gently at me. I smiled back and patted his hand with my other hand.
"Fred, I will be fine, don't worry about me. I am strong. It isn't like he succeeded." I stopped, and looked at Pomfrey. "He didn't, did he?" Pomfrey smiled slightly.
"No, dear, I checked. But there are side-effects from both the imperious curse and the love potion. That wasn't a normal love potion either." She grimaced. "You will be okay, but you have to stay here for a while, I am afraid."
I was shocked. Stay here? In this hospital? I feel like sleeping. "Madam Pomfrey? I am tired. It is a weird fee-" It went black.
I woke up to water on my face. "What happened?" I asked. Fred looked relieved. It was like I died. Jeesh. I just passed out. Wait. I did pass out right?
"um.. you passed out." Fred told me. He sat on the bed I was laying in.
I looked at Madam Pomfrey. "Why did I pass out?" I was scared. This was weird, and not right.
She sighed. "It is because of the potion and spell, together, you pass out randomly. It takes at least two weeks until you are better, well. At least not passing out for six hours at a time. Eventually you won't pass out anymore." She said. She took out another pepper-up potion and that helped.
"How long until I pass out again?" I was curious. I didn't want to be going to the bathroom or something when I pass out. That would be bad and very embarrassing.
She checked her watch. "ten to twenty minutes." She sighed and went to her office, letting Fred, James and I to ourselves. Fred stared awkwardly at his hands, and James stared at me expectantly.
"What?" I asked him, quirking an eyebrow. He shrugged and sat on my other side cautiously. I gave him a look. "James. I am not that sick where you can't sit on the bed. It is okay." I reassured him. He gave an uneasy grin before relaxing.
Fred took a deep breath. I looked curiously at him.
He smiled slightly before asking "Do you remember what you told us before you passed out?" He asked timidly. I thought back.
"I- I" I said. Fred hugged me again, not letting go.
"Don't say anything, Anne. It is okay, it is going to be okay." He reassured me. I believed him.
"I- I- love you, both, you are my best friends." I told them. James nodded and so did Fred, hugging me closer to him. The best two days of my life even though this happened.
"I love you too." Fred muttered in my ear. I heard James say the same and I passed out.
"Yes, and I meant it. I have had the best two days of my life." I told them confidently. They both nodded.
"I love you, Annie!" James said in a high voice. He broke the tension and laughed, and so did Fred and I. He looked expectedly at Fred. He chuckled and looked me straight in the eyes.
"I love you too." He made a heart with his hands. I laughed and pulled them both into a hug. I got dizzy. I sat back.
"Alright! I am going to pass out, see you when I wake up…" Everything went black.
I woke up with Fred laughing at James. I felt smooshed for some reason. I looked at James. He was laying next to me on the bed. I looked at Fred on my left. He was too. Talk about Anne-sandwich. I sat up, and pushed them both off the bed, making two loud thuds. Madam Pomfrey came running out of her office.
"WHAT is going on?" She exclaimed. I looked at her innocently as Fred and James pointed two accusing fingers at me. Madam Pomfrey sighed. "Serves you right, Fred, James." She went back into her office. I laughed, and couldn't stop.
James dragged another hospital bed over and pushed it against my bed. He made me get p and him and Fred stuffed pillows in the crack between the beds to make it even so I could lay there. They made me get back on and hey climbed back on next to me. Ah. More room. That Is better.
"Thank you. I don't feel so squished." I glared at Fred and James, who both shrugged. I yawned. "What time is it?" Fred shrugged, looking at his watch.
"almost nine. Looks like it is Anne's bedtime." James smiled.
"I will go get us some pajamas." And left without another word. It dawned on me.
"Hey, Fred?"
He ywned and looked at me. "hmm?"
"How is James getting my clothes?"
"Dunno. I guess we can just let him figure it out himself." He shrugged. He layed back and a few moments later he was snoring. I laughed. Of course Fred could sleep that quickly. Speaking of sleeping… I feel dizzy. And I passed out.
When I woke up, I was in my pajamas. I looked at Fred's watch. Nine in the morning.
James woke up and saw me. He grinned. "Good Morning, Anne." I smiled.
"You too, James." I wiped my eyes, and called for Madam Pomfrey.
"Yes dear?" She asked.
"Can I have some breakfast? I haven't eaton in a while." I smiled, placing a hand on my stomach. She smiled.
"Yes, you can." She waved her wand. Fred was upside down! He woke up with a start.
"Wha? Whats happening?" He said turning to me and glared. "YOU?" I shook my head laughing. He kept turning and saw Madam Pomfrey with her wand. "YOU?" She nodded smiling. He rolled his eyes.
"Once I put you down, go get Anne some breakfast, then skidaddle to your lessons." She told him. My eyes went wide. Crap. My classes. I was going to miss them. Not miss them like I love them, like I was going to skip them. I would never miss my classes. That would be horrid.
Fred huffed at her. "What is Anne going to do then? She can't just stay here by herself all day." He told her.
"She will be fine. She has me."
"You aren't much fun are you?"
"Believe me, Mr. Weasley. I am more fun than you may think."
"hmf."
Turns out, our Madam Pomfrey isn't the stern nurse we always thought her to be. She is LOADS of fun.
"First things first, Anne. Call me Poppy. I sincerely hate being called Madam Pomfrey." She made a face at the name.
I smiled. She seemed nice under all that. "Okay! Poppy!" She laughed at my comment.
