The Arithmancy classroom looks very much the same as it did last lesson - neatly-positioned rows of wooden desks and chairs, different colored cushions resting in a pile by the door for you to choose from to match your comfort and liking. The wooden shelves lining the walls are still not filled with Professor Shackleton's collection of books and the two large cardboard boxes that were sitting on the floor in front of the shelving unit last class are still present, unmoved from their original spot.

As you enter the room, you see Professor Shackleton sitting at her desk, her jade-colored robes partially covered by a thick-woollen yellow shawl. On the desk is a lesson plan for today's lesson, the course textbook, and a small pouch that she keeps very close by her left hand. Despite the smile on her face, it is apparent in her appearance and body language that she is not entirely well. Her skin has a slight greenish tinge to it, her shoulders are slightly hunched, and her brow glistens ever so slightly with perspiration. She invites you to choose your seat and open your textbooks to Chapter Twenty.

He didn't wait for her answer while he took her state in, "we've been through this already, you have to follow schedule!" he scowled and pressed the potion in her direction, "a fresh one arrived today. Make sure your dosed up before you step back in class".

Macadrian crossed her arms over her chest, unhappy with Fabian's tone and accusatory attitude. Stamping her foot, Macadrian hissed in a whisper, "Me? Me stick to a schedule? What about you?! You were supposed to get this potion to me before my class even started! And you didn't show up! What? Too busy in Knockturn Alley? Something distract you?"

Macadrian glared daggers at him. He ignores her for days and then when he shows up, he's got an attitude? Hmph! "Of course, I'm spent! Does this have the same nutritional content as the others?" Macadrian plugged her nose and downed the potion in one large gulp. "Ugh! This tastes even worse than the other ones. Disgusting. Happy now?"

Yup, just like she had been expected .. she was eavesdropping. "You know, the parchment wont jump out of the bin .. you don't need to stand there." She said quietly to the girl, raising an amused eyebrow. There. People couldn't say she hadn't done something about it now. But if the girl refused to sit down, well Evangeline wouldn't make her. Let Cale deal with her in that case.

Oh yes, she couldn't deny. She was curious.

Cale, who may or may not have dozed off slightly reading about his personal month numbers, looked up at the sound of Evangeline's voice. He looked behind him and saw Astrid innocently putting a piece of parchment in the rubbish bin. Geez! Was Evangeline just searching for someone to snap at so she could take all the glory and say that SHE did an amazing job running class while Shackleton was gone? Not if Cale could help it!

"Leave her alone, Evangeline, she isn't doing anything wrong," Cale told her, trying to be as polite as possible about it before giving Astrid a reassuring smile. Pssh. Slytherins were so strange sometimes.

Waterloo · 10-18-2008, 05:48 PM

Hmm. This was all rather strange. When Professor Clark took Miss Shackleton out of the classroom, Clifford hoped it was to give her some medicine or something. Boy, it seemed she could do with some. The poor lady had been looking close to puking.. or fainting! That wouldn't be nice.. but if she had.. he would've looked after her. Hehe.

Miss Shackleton had left the Prefect's in charge, and hoping to make Evangeline's job easier, Clifford flicked through his textbook in order to interpret his Personal Month Numbers.

Well, that was until Newell butted in.

Turning in his seat, Clifford glared at the Gryffindor Prefect. Ugh. What was his problem? "Evangeline's just doing her job." A heck of alot better than he's doing it too. Pfft.

In Astrid's stealthy state, she jumped when she heard the Slytherin Prefect addressing her. She turned and looked at her for a moment and realized that this was the exact same girl that helped to break up the fight between Reese and Allie by the Whomping Willow a few days back. She had already seemed to have irritated her that day by mistakenly calling her "Ma'am", and she certainly didn't want to get on her bad side anymore than that. She blushed at her and said, "Yes, right away." before tossing the parchment in and staring back towards her seat. DARN IT! she thought. Now she would never know what was going on with the professor.

Astrid smiled at Cale and looked between him and Evangeline, trying to decide what to do. She really didn't want to get into any trouble but, it seemed as though her prefect was buying her some time. Thanks Cale! She thought and smiled.

Confused with what she overheard, yet satisfied that that was all she was gonna get, Astrid quickly made her way to her desk and sat down. Unfortunately, she didn't feel any less concerned. In fact, she was more scared now. Why on earth was the Professor taking a potion? She wondered. Well, hopefully it would make her feel better at least.

He scowled at her in response. Yup, that's all the answer she was getting out of him. Nope not the exact same concoction, he answered mentally, I added one more ingredient to this bottle. She didn't have to know that did she? Better not at this point.

"It never tasted good" he reminded her and frowned when he took her state in. Even if he was disheveled his eyes were very intense. "You know when I'll be happy" he growled and took the potion out of her hands, "I'm putting this one with the rest. Do you need a minute before heading back in?" he nudged his head towards her classroom.

Cale sighed and turned to look at Clifford again. "And I'm just doing mine. Astrid wasn't doing anything wrong, and I was protecting her--one of the jobs of a prefect, you know. So, if you could PLEASE just get back to reading like the professor said? Thanks," he told him with a small smile at the end. Merlin, he wasn't in the mood for Clifford today. And he wasn't in the mood to have to get Shackleton to take points from Slytherin today...goodness knew they didn't need any more to get deduct from them.

Crayola · 10-18-2008, 05:57 PM

Aaah. And so Cale had but in. "Nothing wrong?" Evangeline asked, trying her hardest to be polite since he obviously was making an effort too. Since the incident in the Prefect's Lounge, she had realised that no matter how much she disliked Cale, they couldn't argue everytime they met. They were Prefects and needed to behave like that. In that moment the Gryffindor girl chucked the parchment into the bin and made her way to her seat, which made Evangeline nod thankfully at her. Though she would have enjoyed it if she had lost house points.

Cough.

"She was clearly eavesdropping, Cale." She said to her fellow Prefect, refraining from telling commenting on how his hair was making it hard for him to see. Eh. It was all okay now, anyway, and she wouldn't make matters worse.

With a warm smile in Clifford's direction at his words, she turned away from Cale. "It's quite alright, Cliffie. Prefect Cale was simply sticking up for his House." Hah. When Cale told him that himself, Evangeline rolled her eyes to the boy's obliviousness and patted Clifford's hand reassuringly.

Waterloo · 10-18-2008, 06:02 PM

Doing his job? Was his job to let that Gryffindor kid blatantly eavesdrop on poor Miss Shackleton? "Whatever." Clifford rolled his eyes at Newell befre turning back towards his textbook. Newell was clearly trying to defend the eavesdropping Gryffindor in case she got caught and lost any points or something, but Clifford wasn't going to argue.

No, because he was the better man here. HAH!

He didn't want to make things awkward for Evangeline who was meant to keep the class under control, and Miss Shackleton seemed poorly enough.

"Right.." He mumbled at Evangeline's words,and casually flicked through a few pages. Personal Month Numbers.. Hmmm.

Do you need a minute before heading back in?" he nudged his head towards her classroom.

Macadrian shrugged and replied a bit calmer, "No, I suppose you're right. It has always been a repulsive thing to drink." Macadrian shuddered as she felt the liquid settle in her stomach, heavy like lead. With an equally intense look, Macadrian retorted, "You do realize that that day may never come? This is something that I'll have to deal with for the rest of my life, in one way or another. Right now it is mainly physical, but soon it will be entirely emotional too. Are you prepared for that?" Macadrian wasn't even sure if she was prepared for that yet, and she was the one truly experiencing all of this.

"I don't need any more time. I'll be fine. Thank you for the delivery." Macadrian's stomach lurched and she placed her hand on her stomach, but ignored it to ask, "Will you be around more now? You haven't seen Max since the night I arrived with Fex. You shouldn't let your friendship suffer because of this stressful situation." And without waiting for his reply, Macadrian aboutfaced and returned to her classroom.

Cale blinked and looked around at Astrid. Hmmm...maybe she WAS eavesdropping. He wouldn't have known, having been peacefully studying his book the whole time. "Astrid! That's not polite!" he whispered to her. He wasn't disappointed in her or anything, but he knew that if Astrid got caught, him AND Evangeline would get in trouble. "In that case, sit down and just read your book or something."

He pointed to her seat nearby him and smiled at her a little. As soon as she sat down, she'd realize she could hear everything perfectly fine if she just kept quiet. And Clifford stopped running his mouth, which he seemed to have settled upon. Tee hee.

Aww, too late. Shackleton had walked back into the room, looking a teensy bit better than before. Cale just kept his eyes on his book. Would she continue the lesson or let them out early? His bed sounded VERY comfortable right now, and he could use a nap...

Daemon · 10-18-2008, 06:11 PM

Rachel sighed in relief when the Professor Macadrian re-entered the classroom. Although her face fell a bit when she saw that there was still something wrong. Shaking her head, she put the book flat on the table and hoped that the lesson would continue like normal.

lemondrop13 · 10-18-2008, 06:33 PM

Macadrian re-entered the room, her coloring much improved. As she resumed her seat at her desk, Macadrian was faced with severe abdominal discomfort. Narrowing her eyes ever so slightly, Macadrian's body stiffened in pain. She clenched her teeth to avoid letting out a whimper until the pain passed.

Once it had, Macadrian addressed the class, "I apologize for the interruption. Let's resume where we left off. By now, you should have all calculated your Personal Month numbers and read what this month entails for you. To ensure that you've all done it correctly, I am going to do my own calculation as an example. For the calendar year 2066, which is my Personal Year Number 2, my Personal Month Numbers are: January 3, February 4, March 5, April 6, May 7, June 8, July 9, August 1, September 2, October 3, November 4, December 5."

It took all of Shackleton's strength to not scream in agony. Her stomach was heaving violently. As her eyes welled up with tears from the pain, Macadrian choked out, "Class dismissed" as she gripped the edge of the desk to brace herself from the blinding lights hovering around the outsides of her vision.

Astrid ran up to the Professor's side and said, "Ma'am, Please let me take you to the Hospital Wing. Please!" She gave her a pleading look and searched her face for an answer.

Amira With a C · 10-18-2008, 06:38 PM

Something was definitely wrong. Camira quickly got up from her seat, leaving her notes unfinished. "Professor, do you need any help. Would you like me to take you to the hospital wing?" She did not look good at all. "Or get another professor, perhaps?" She was starting to panic. The professor looked like she'd pass out any second now.

She turned to the girl that was already there. "Maybe you can take her and I can run ahead so the nurse is prepared?"

Crayola · 10-18-2008, 06:41 PM

Evangeline looked up from the textbook when she noticed Macadrian walking back in. Looking ever better, at least colour wise. Thank goodness, she really was worried. Glad that the lesson was going to continue, she listened as the woman said her own Personal Month numbers and nodded. Yup, she had them correct.

But apparently, she wasnt going to continue the class. When the woman twisted her face into what clearly looked as pain, Evangeline's eyes widened in horror. "Professor?" She called out, ignoring the woman's words about the class being dismissed and getting to her feet. "Are you .." Gah, of course she wasn't alright!!

Turning to Camira, she shook her head at the girl's words. "I doubt she can reach the Hospital Wing. Maybe you can go and get the Nurse? Or Cassandra?" She asked, tugging her teeth at her lower lip in worry.

Camira nodded. "I'll get them right away." That said, she took off running as fast as she could towards the hospital wing.

Hollister · 10-18-2008, 06:43 PM

Miles stared at the professor for a few seconds, before grabbing his stuff and stuffing them into his bag. He was freaked out a little by Shackleton's behavior.

Liisa · 10-18-2008, 06:45 PM

Astrid looked at Evangeline with tears in her eyes. "Evangeline!" she cried. "Tell me what to do."

lemondrop13 · 10-18-2008, 06:47 PM

Macadrian yelled angrily, "NO! No Nurse. No hospital wing. No staff of any kind. Class is dismissed. Just go!" Macadrian then felt guilt for yelling at her students and added a bit more calmly, "I'll be fine. It is just a bit of stomach cramping. Honestly, I'll be ok."

Waterloo · 10-18-2008, 06:49 PM

It was horrible seeing someone suffering so, and Clifford winced slightly at Miss Shackleton's obvious discomfort. Why had Professor Clark let her come back in!? The woman clearly needed the Hospital Wing.

There was already a small crowd of girls gathering around her though, and Clifford decided it was probably best to stay back. Evangeline was the Prefect here.. she would know what to do, right?

Hurriedly shoving his equipment in his bag, Clifford hovered around, unsure of what to do. "Erm -- Evangeline?" He cleared his throat, hoping to catch her attention. "I'll uhm - I'll wait for you outside."

Yeah.. that was probably best. And chewing his lip rather nervously, Clifford left the classroom.

RachieRu · 10-18-2008, 06:49 PM

Vannie watched as she Professor walked back into, she didn't look well at all. Putting her stuff back into her bag, she rose, glancing at Evangeline who seemed to be taking control of the situation. Erm She thought as she just stood there. Wouldn't it be better if most of the students went.

Crayola · 10-18-2008, 06:51 PM

Evangeline looked at the Gryffindor girl she had told off earlier and shrugged helplessly. "I .. I dunno." All they could do was wait for the Nurse. And Macadrian not even wanted THAT it seemed. Evangeline sighed and shook her head. "Ma'am, I'm sorry, but that looks a bit more than just cramps. You have to see the Nurse!" She felt bad for insisting on something the woman clearly didn't want, but she'd feel worse leaving her like that.

Turning to look at Clifford when he spoke up, she nodded her head. "Alright, I'll meet you there." She told him, concern all over her face. She wasn't leaving this room until the staff member agreed with seeing the nurse.

Lucas blinked a few times at the professor. She looked horrible and she looked as if she were about to puke up a lung. He said a girl crying and he jumped out of his chair and ran and gave her a hug. "Don't cry," he said reaching into his jumper and pulling out some tissue and handing it to her.

Astrid reacted as though she had been struck in the face by the professor's words. She squeezed her eyes shut and a few tears made their way down her cheeks. The last thing on earth that she wanted to do was to leave her here all alone, in misery. "If you're sure ma'am, I'll go.....but please....." she didn't know how to finish her sentence but she just couldn't walk away.

Fabian scowled when Macadrian walked away, he sighed against the corridor wall for a moment before heading back to her office. He pondered over her words, some of it made sense to him others didn't at all. That was when the racket inside the classroom started and Macadrian's voice carried down the corridor. He instantly pounced into the room, without thinking twice about it he carried the woman into his arms and stormed out of the classroom.

"She'll be fine" he called over the students that mentioned healer and hospital wing. "She'll be fine in a moment" and quickly made his way towards her office.
