WHY had the Healer not gotten here yet?! They had been around when Aurora had woken up, asking if she was ok - so obviously they knew there was the possibility that people might NOT be ok. Yet it felt like it was taking FOREVER for someone to get here! What if Irene DIED? What if that Gryffindor girl DIED? That would all be on them, and then the challenge would be cancelled - and they'd lose their chance at a scholarship and instead be going to a memorial service for their peers. They were sooooo unprepared. Had no one tested this daydream potion or anything? People seemed to be having a bad reaction...maybe THAT was why Valerie, Jesus and Levi looked so grumpy.

Just when Aurora was about to take matters in to her own hands and start magically conjuring water for her friend to drink, the Hogwarts Healer showed up. Thank MERLIN. "You're ok Irene, it's ok, I'm here," she added quietly, sitting down to her friend and giving her hand a squeeze. She wanted to try and hold her up, but didn't want to get in Reed's way either. She was so frazzled from all this, she didn't even have a chance to put on her BEST smile and flip her hair for the pretty Healer. She was too distraught.

So distraught she missed the entire standings announcement. She turned to Jeremy and wrinkled her eyebrows. "Wait, what?" she said. Oh. OHHHH. She'd made it! She was moving on! Her brown eyes found the standings, taking note of everyone's points...HOW did Kyle keep getting so many points?? Maybe it was a mistake not being better acquainted with him, she had to know his secrets. Valerie, of course, gross, and Jesus...but wait. No Irene. NO IRENE!!

The color drained from her face. Her poor friend was about to faint, and it had all been for nothing. She wasn't moving on. Aurora had to face the den of hyenas all on her own now...

She took a deep breath and rubbed her temples before giving Jeremy a weak smile. "Thanks! Onto the next one, I guess," she said with a small chuckle before turning back to Irene. Once she was sure her friend was better, she'd take her back to the Beetle...and break the news that she hadn't made it, if she hadn't heard the announcement.
