Chapter 6 Ulcus Stomachum Potion
Weeks later, Taylor pulled herself out of her bed and headed to the bathroom. When she saw her reflection she almost feinted. Her hair looked like a big afro and her eyes had big rings around them. She had a big pimple on her forehead and felt like crap. She groaned as she reached for her brush and started to detangle her hair, which always looked horrible when she first got up. She slowly walked out of the bathroom and sat on her bed, still trying to brush her impossible hair. "It's never being this bad!" She thought to herself.
"Taylor, what is up with your hair this morning?" Hermione asked, eyeing her curiously.
"Dunno, I just walked, OW, into the bathroom, OW, and saw my hair." She suddenly cursed as she realised that there was no way that she was ever going to get through the afro. Hermione just sighed and used a spell that made Taylor's hair go flat and completely knotless. "And look," Taylor said, pointing at the pimple.
"Yeah, you could see Madam Pomfrey."
"Don't have time!" Taylor said as she quickly packed all the books she needed for the day. "I have to eat breakfast, then straight to my class, then to potions and then to Care of Magical Creatures. Wait I have an idea!" She got out her make-up kit, which only had cream that made pimples less obvious, mascara and eye-liner that she never used. The dead looking girl walked quickly into the bathroom and smudged the green cream around the redness. She sighed, even though it was still there, it didn't look as noticeable as it did beforehand. She walked out of the bathroom and headed towards Hermione
"How do I look?" She asked, still feeling like crap.
"Like crap." She answered, sounding a little worried.
"Hmmm. Well I didn't have the best sleep last night, I felt sick and I couldn't be bothered walking all the way up to the hospital wing."
"Merlins beard Taylor, you look real bad." Hermione walked up to Taylor and stared at her face. It reminded her of a few weeks before when she awoke to Hermione's eyes in her face and telling her to get up.
"Meh, it'll go away at some point, but I have to teach!" At that she picked up her bag and stalked out of the room. When she reached the hall for breakfast she dumped herself down next to Harry.
"What's up with you?" Harry asked, eyeing her just as Hermione had.
"She's sick and refuses to go to the Hospital Wing." Hermione had somehow quietly taken a seat next to Ron, with a look of anger on her face.
"Like I said before, I have to teach and go to all the other classes I have, I'm sure I'll be fine…" She really didn't feel like telling them it was that time of the month, who knows what they have learnt about all that stuff, but Hermione would probably know of it, if she asked again she will spit it out to her so she could stuff it in her mouth. The trio looked at each other curiously but decided to let it go as they started pilling their plate up with food.
On the opposite side of the room, a soon to be ferret was looking at the new professor concerned. "No!" He told himself, "I am not worried about the stupid Mudblood!" But for some reason he couldn't come to convince himself.
"Look at that Mudblood, maybe she will die!" Pansy hissed, but Malfoy noticed that there was an evil smile lurking on her face but didn't take much notice to it.
"Hmm…" Was all Draco was able to get out.
Taylor looked up to see Malfoy staring at her, her eyes narrowed as she stared back at him, but she was more day dreaming than anything.
"Hey, Mudblood, I know I'm sexy but there is no need to stare at me." He sniggered.
"Oh trust me I wasn't intentionally staring at you, the thought of it makes me want to barf even more." She said grudgingly looking away from him. Once Harry had forced some food into Taylor the bell went. Taylor whined and got up unwillingly and quickly dragged herself up to where her class was. She really should have gone to the nurse but decided otherwise. When she opened the door everyone gaped at her.
"I know I'm awesome but please take a seat." She said dully as everyone took their seats. They had almost finished the movie, which meant Taylor had to start doing historical stuff about TITANIC. She switched on the projector and sat down on a chair near Ron. She suddenly felt a jabbing pain from her stomach.
"Oh no!" She whined. When Ron heard her he leant over to her ear.
"What's wrong?" He whispered, looking like he was ready to catch her if she collapsed.
"Just stomach cramps, I'll be fine." But something told her that her cramps wouldn't go without some sort of painkiller. She grasped her stomach for a few minutes, but it just seemed to be getting worse and worse. Malfoy started talking. Angrily, she stood up and stalked over to Malfoy, a look of death on her face.
"MALFOY, STOP TALKING IN MY CLASS!" she yelled, the blonde sat, dumbstruck at her, seeing the anger in her eyes. The pain in her stomach did a lurch and she felt herself falling to the ground. Luckily Harry and Ron had been walking behind her and caught her before she hit the ground. Once they got her back up she saw that Malfoy's arm was outstretched as though he was going to catch her, but he quickly pulled it back onto his lap, hiding any evidence of it being there. The sick brunette was unconscious. The whole class stared fearfully at the unconscious girl.
"Quick, we need to get her to the hospital wing!" Harry said, as they levitated her with their wands and took her out of the classroom.
"Wait." Hermione said, "I'll look after the class while you're gone!" She hurriedly went back in and calmed everybody down.
"I wonder what happened to her." Draco wondered aloud, not taking his eyes off the door.
"Ulcus Stomachum potion." He watched as an evil smile appeared on Pansy's face.
"You gave it to her?"
"Yeah, slipped it in her drink last night, it takes around 12 hours to set in." Draco stared at her. Then he simply answered, "The mudblood gets what she deserves."
Change in Malfoy's attitude there. Because I'm nice, I'm going to put the next part on this chapter…
A 14 year old girl slowly opened her eyes and looked at the room she was suddenly in. She was in a bed, lying on her back. At the end of the bed, 2 boys and 1 girl where talking in soft voices.
"So," She started as she watched Harry, Ron and Hermione turned to look at her, "Who took me up to the Hospital Wing!" She asked as a sigh of relief fell over the trio as they came and sat around her.
"How are you feeling?" Hermione asked.
"Better than I was, what happened? All I can remember is yelling at Malfoy, but that's it…"
"Well you collapsed Miss Mundus, and it is lucky these three took you up here!" Madam Promfrey had stalked out of her office with a bottle. "Now drink this. You had Ulcus Stomachum potion in your system; do you know how it might have got in there?"
"No…I just woke up this morning feeling sick, but I thought it was just my period." She looked around, the 2 boys looked shocked that she might have mentioned that but Hermione looked at ease. Taylor giggled at the boys expressions.
"You can leave tomorrow morning, and oh I almost forgot," at that she pulled a small trolley of lollies and chocolates from the opposite bed, "I'm guessing you have made quite a few friends who worry about you, now remember DON'T eat them all at once." At that she stalked back into her office. Taylor started at the trolley will happiness.
"You guys are going to have to help me finish these." She explained.
"Don't mind if I do!" Ron stated as he picked up a chocolate frog.
~O-O~
The next morning, the trio came and collected Taylor from the hospital wing and took her down for breakfast. Her stomach had gone from hell, to uneasy, to normal. But when they reached the hall, Malfoy was standing at the doors, a smirk spread across his face, which made Taylor's stomach twist in an unnatural sort of way. She felt the anger in the atmosphere around them.
"What do you want, Malfoy!" Ron asked angrily. The smirk, believe it or not, got bigger.
"Just wanted to see if the new Mudblood is alive, but regrettably she is." Ron's face went red as a beetroot, and Hermione and Harry had to hold him back.
"Don't worry about Malfoy, he's not worth it." At this he gave her a rude gesture. Taylor stared angrily at his face, "Never knew you had it in you Malfoy, but hey you learn something new every day, now why don't you run along to your dumbass friends and your girlfriend Pansy, she seems to be longing for your return!" She spat, and then led the others to the Gryffindor table. She watched as Malfoy sent her a glare, but still went and sat with his 'friends', but he seemed to be sulking.
"I love your attitude to Malfoy, Taylor." Harry cheered. She smiled and then stuffed her mouth with pancakes.
"Hogsmead this weekend!" Hermione said, "Although I have a lot of studying to do."
"I wish you could come Harry." Ron said dully, although he seemed happy to be eating.
"Well, it's not my fault my uncle didn't sign it." They all gave him a sympathy look. Taylor suddenly took out something from her pocket.
"What's that?" Ron asked, putting his head to a side to examine the 'strange' appliance.
"It's an iPod, it plays music, either out loud or in ear phones which are those white things coming out of the iPod." Taylor explained, as she put an earphone in her ear and turned on a song. Ron stared at her with eyes that seemed curious and confused, yet again Hermione seemed at ease but this time Harry shared the ease too. When the bell went, they grabbed their things and headed to Defence Against the Dark Arts with one of Taylor's favourite teacher, Professor Lupin.
Yup, there's the chapter. School holidays now so I will be able to update a bit more…if I get time. Anyway, I'm going to do this story with all of the years. But don't worry Codla, I will be still doing the whole of the 3rd year, it's just that it will get boring if I keep with 3rd year, as there is more going on in the 4th book with Taylor that I have planned ;). Anyway, please rate and review, thank you to all that put me in their favourites, it makes my day x R&R
