Pain. She couldn't get away from it. Even in sleep she felt it. No, she would fight. No...
Sidney lay in the hospital wing bed, still asleep. Madame Pomfrey looked at her, clicking her tongue. "Poor dear. First the ordeal of sleeping, now this." Pomfrey sighed softly, and saw movement. She rung out the rag until it was only damp. She went to Sidney's side, and put the damp cloth over her sweaty brow.
Sidney's eyes twitched, and her small lips moved, "Where am I?" Poppy smiled at the small lump, "In the hospital wing, child." Sidney murmured, "Why the rag?" The nurse pursed her lips as she saw Sidney sit up. Sidney gasped and slowly lay back down on the bed. She suddenly looked very tired. Poppy murmured, "Are you tired?" Sidney nodded a tiny bit, "A little."
Poppy sighed and said, "here...drink this." She held a sleeping/healing potion up to the child. Sidney stared at it, "It's sleeping potion." Poppy smiled softly, "You've gotten good at this." She slowly let go of the bottle; the child's hands shook. She caressed her patient's hands. Sidney's voice shook, "I don't want to sleep." Poppy smiled, "Come, child." Sidney gave in; she opened her mouth. Poppy gently and quickly poured the contents of the cup into Sidney's mouth.
The child's eyes stared just a little to the left of Poppy. She murmured, "Tired..." Poppy watched Sidney sway slightly. Green eyes closed as Sidney's head fell into the pillow.
Only moments later, there was a faint, hesitant knock on the door. Poppy slightly smiled; she knew who it was. She called out, "Come on in, Mr. Malfoy and Mr. Potter." A pale face poked in; Draco came into the room as he walked to Sidney's side. "Is she alright?" He smiled at Sidney. Poppy was suspicious of this boy; he seemed to have a liking to Sidney. She answered, "She's gotten sick. Here, talk to her yourself." Poppy lifted the potion and Sidney awoke. She sat up, then winced a little.
"Draco...?" Poppy looked surprised, surely. She surely felt it. Draco stepped towards Sidney; she smiled at him and her eyes watered. He kneeled down, "Oh, if this hurts-?" Sidney put a finger at his lips, "You came..." Harry sat at the foot of the bed, muttering, "Oh, don't mind me...I'm just the brother." Sidney laughed, "Hi, Harry."
Harry's jet black hair fell in front of his eyes. He looked up at his sister, "Hi, sis." Sidney rolled her eyes, and yawned, "Harry..." She regained her breath, "get over here." He looked up and saw Sidney's eyes weren't vaults. He muttered, "You're doing it again." She nodded slightly, and her eyes locked.
As soon as Harry and Draco left, Poppy let the potion back down. Sidney fell asleep.
