Right. Everything else aside, Derry really had to finish this book before the summer holidays, for exam reasons. But since the whole Qui-... since everything, she had had absolutely no attention span. It wasn't that they'd lost - they'd lost last year too, in fact, Derry was really happy for Hufflepuff. They'd played really well, but now Derry was... she didn't know. It probably wasn't just the Quidditch. In fact... it definitely wasn't. Maybe she'd just run out of space to shove stuff she didn't want to think about...

Nope. Nothing was going in. In fact, she could feel herself getting stupider as she attempted to force her brain to work. It just wasn't going to have an effect. Derry closed her book and rested her forehead on the desk. Her 'medulla oblongata' (good name) didn't seem to be working too well today, because it was kind of a struggle to even breathe properly. Ugh. Just... ugh. Why.
