Chapter 6

Back at the school Susan sighed she hated homework and it didn't help that her potion's teacher was forcing her to work with James Bloody Potter. It wasn't that he wasn't good in potions it was that he didn't try to be good at it. She sighed again as James asked her if he had the right book. Susan just ignored him and continued to do her research wishing for peace.

James didn't mean to annoy Susan as she worked it was completely the opposite no one knew but James did have a slight crush on the slimming daywalker. It was the only reason he teased her so much his parents do it all the time. The problem was that every time he tried she just got irritated at him.

Smiling at her he said, "You know Sue, you are very pretty when you try to brush me off when you want to study."

Susan glared at him and whispered, "If you wish to stay alive I would start to study before I gut you."

James said, "You wouldn't dare?"

Susan smirked, "Try me. You're not at Hogwarts and even if we were I would never go an inch near you in my life."

James saw Ellen and knew how to get her and Susan back to talking again even thought their friendship had been getting better it was still kind of stiff. He lean toward Susan and kissed her on the lips. Susan pushed him off of her and glared at him when Ellen came over with a happy look on her face.

She said, "I didn't know that you two were a couple?"

Susan growled out, "We are not a couple Ellen."

James laughed and said, "Yes Ellen we are a happy couple."

Susan finally having enough and glared at him with a look of I am going to kill you James if you don't get out of my way. James ran out of the library in such a rush that he bumped into Nate on his way out. Susan finally smirked in satisfaction and sat down and started to study again.

Ellen said, "Potion research too?"

Susan said, "Yea, who are you partnered with? I am stuck with James and he is already on my nerves. Why did Harry Bloody Potter decided that he wanted James to come here?"

Ellen smiled and said, "I am partnered up with Nate. I also wanted to ask you why do you hate James and please don't say it's because of the night you were kidnapped."

Susan sighed and said, "I don't really hate him it's the way he acts. I have always been mature at a young age the reason Tessa and I get along so well. James acts like a spoiled little kid that gets away with everything. I haven't seen him since that night and for once I am not sure if I hate him or not. I actually think he is kind of cute."

Ellen laughs and went back to studying.

As months went by and it was finally October Susan, Tessa, Nate, and Ellen were getting ready for the Halloween Feast. Susan had dressed up as a cheerleader, Ellen went as a pirate, Tessa as a fairy, and Nate dressed up as a vampire. The four were laughing as they walked in the hall. Susan stopped dead in her tracks as she felt really dizzy and fell against the wall. Tessa looking screamed in horror as she saw her best friend who was like a twin fall to the ground. Ellen went to Susan and picked her up with Nate's help. The three took her to the Hospital Wing.

Once they got her there which they were worried. Tessa was telling the nurse what had happen and they were all worried. They sat in the hall not wanting to go to the feast with out their best friend. James came around the corner and looked at them.

He said, "Why are you three so depressed about. Also why are you three here anyways and were is Susan?"

Tessa who was worried sick about her friend snapped, "James just once and your pathetic life would you not stick your slimy head into other people's businesses."

James left not realizing what he did. Tessa sat back down not caring that she was being rude to anyone since she wasn't in her right frame of mind. Nate was sitting by Ellen just hoping that nothing was wrong with their friend.

The nurse came out and said, "You may come in I can't do much as she had fainted."

Ellen asked, "Why did she faint? She seemed fine when we left for the Great Hall."

The Nurse answered, "I don't know she isn't one to faint like this."

Tessa looked at her twin's pale form and said, "It was for not getting blood this week plus the stress of James bothering her."

The nurse asked, "Are you sure Tessa?"

Tessa nodded as Nate said, "Yea, I have seen Susan like this only once before except James wasn't around. Just let her have a good night sleep and she should be fine in the morning."

As the three left deciding to eat in the kitchens then in the Great Hall since they didn't want to be started at. No one noticed two pairs of eyes staring at them leave or the two pairs of eyes lying on the young girl who lay comatose on the bed.

The next day the three friends came to see how Susan was doing. When they got to the hospital wing the Headmaster was there looking worried. When he saw the three friends he brought him to his office.

Once there he said, "I'm sorry to tell you three, but Susan is in a coma. We are not sure when she will wake up."

Ellen and Tessa each took one of Nate's shoulders and let the tears fall. Nate just thanked the headmaster and let the two girls cry. He would let them denied it later. As the two girls let up Ellen smirked.

Ellen said, "We got to find a way to help Susan."

Tessa replied, "We don't even know what happen Ellen she just fainted we need more evidence."

Nate nodded to show he agreed with Tessa even though he wanted to help Susan. He knew that the teachers would try to do everything in their power to help her.
