This is what happens to Seventh Year students who suffer from high amounts of stress combined with lack of sleep due to studying for NEWTS:

"Okay, which one of you little twerps did it?" she hissed angrily and her bloodshot eyes were ablaze with anger. She reached into her robe and pulled out her wand. It was not a good idea to mess around with the Ravenclaw Quidditch Captain when she was in one of these moods . . . .

The lack of sleep combined with her endless studying for NEWTS (and worrying about Elijah above everything else) made her see people who were not there . . . Ravenclaw students from the past.

She advanced on the corner with her wand pointed directly at the shadow and began to scream at it as if it were a person who was waiting to attack her. "How dare you! I, Kayleen Harrison will NEVER fail or choke! I should have never ever given your wand to Ashlie, Mithos! Linny, help me!"

Her words were louder this time and she whipped back around to keep the shadow cornered.

Eyes wide, he took in the scene. A very upset indeed Kay yelling at a corner. Did she see something he didn't? Mithos? Linny? Was she talking about his Ashlie?

Hurridly, he rushed over to the older girl. He didn't dare touch her, afraid she'd jump or turn on him. "Kay," he said gently, giving way to tugging gently at her shirt. "Kay. Wake up. It's me. It's Jamie."

Maybe she'd realize she was seeing things, he hoped. Maybe she'd see him and snap out?

"Ashlie isn't here!" he said desperately. "Nobody is there and we don't know who Mithos is!"

Maybe he should send an owl to Ashlie, the boy suggested to himself, looking around the room for one. Did anyone have an owl around? He could have Ashlie apparate to Hogsmead and.... would he be able to get to Hogsmead with Kay?

"I need an owl!" he said in a choked, fear ridden voice.

Why wasn't Ashlie around when he really needed her?

Kay returned with her owl and looked around at the scene.

Kay heard the rustling of wings and her eyes grew wide. "I SAID NO OWLS!" she screamed and kept her wand pointed on the shadowy corner. "Quit your crying, Mithos before I silence you!"

Quote:

He tore off a bit and with his self-inking quill quickly scratched out:

Quote:

Ashlie - Emergency. Go to Hogsmead, I'll try to reach you there. Kay thinks you have Common Room on lock down. ??????

- Jamie

He turned with concern to Kay. She wasn't going to let them out. He knew that much. But maybe if they crept around, she wouldn't notice. He had to get her out. Get her to Ashlie. To the nurse. Even to Elijah.

Biting his lip, despite Kay's out burst, he pointed to the girl. "Distract her. Do something," he mouthed, hoping she'd play along with this "Mithos" thing. "Act like you're crying!"

Then, tying the note to the owls leg, holding the feathers down so as not to disturb the bird, he made a mad, but silent dash to the Common Room entrance.

Smirking at her accomplishment, she turned around and threw her hands up into the air. "Constant vigilance! Doesn't anyone listen to the professors?" Her bloodshot eyes darted about the room and she waited for someone to answer.
