Cam looked at the nurse, trying to manage a grin back but failing. He looked like a monkey now, a monkey that was trying to smile. Taking the vial he eyed it carefully and then back at the nurse. What if it tasted horribly? What if it didn't do any better... Nuuuu. Nu more negative thoughts for--WHAT IF I DIE BY IT?! But he didn't argue anymore and drank what was in the vial. It tasted fine, not bad but not good either.

"Yah. I um... ate an acid pop and swallowed it aaaand my stomach burned. Would the vial-thingy do anything to it?" Was that a stupid question?

Mere tapped her chin. "Hmmm actually no it won't react negatively with your stomach but however, I can also give you a cooling potion that will allow your stomach to settle as well as stop burning." She patted his arm and went to get the cooling potion as well. "Here ya go."

Freya lifted her head up from where she had been lying down on the seats, 'Oh, my head...' Everything was at least five times louder as they should have been. She stood up and walked over to the 'here' area, she hadn't felt nauseous when she first arrived, but now she did. With a combination of fatigue, nausea, headache, bloodshot eyes and a sore throat, Freya took a seat when she reached the 'here' section of the room and waited, nearly falling asleep as she sat down.

Cam took the cooling potion, only because it was cool (geddit?). He hesitantly drank it and shut his eyes hard and wondered if an after-effect would happen. Potions were not his best friends, especially that time with that singing potion. Shuddering, he concentrated back on reality and decided to take a rest before leaving the room. His stomach did feel a little bit better now.

"Dumdedummm," he said and began humming to pass time.

There was quite a bit of commotion in the waiting area, as the fifth year boy sat there anxiously cradling his disjointed elbow. Shame too, of the fact that he couldn't even enjoy the presence or waft of sweet smelling perfume from a certain someone. At least she was quiet though and respected the fact that he wanted silence now more than ever; that was what he enjoyed more than ever about Willow Kovac. Her understanding in a twisted way about him.

Turning briefly, he smiled weakly in delight when she mentioned she would wait here with him. Nodding briefly as she took the seat next to him, his golden eyes averted away as he glanced at the others in the waiting area. Why did Jack seem to want to hide from his presence? He hadn't done anything lately to the boy, had he? Odd.

But finally the nurse came from wherever she was - with others no doubt - and told those who weren't sick or whatever to leave! Oh no; that meant, Willow too? AH well, it was probably for the best. Looking over towards the Ravenclaw, he gave another smile of appreciation, before speaking to her. "Uh ... So I guess you have to go then. I'll .... see you around?" Dom asked awkwardly, before turning back to the nurse and trying to focus on where he was supposed to go.

Wait, nausea? Nope. Headaches? Nope. Bruises or bleeding? Nope. Well some combination of both to congregate in the middle of the room, which was exactly where the fifth year decided was best for him to go. With that, Dominic headed over towards the center of the room and waited for the nurse to attend to him.

Lizzie looked up from her conversation with Shaylee and Chalice, focusing on the nurse instead. She tried her hardest to remember why she was here, which side of the room should she be on? Panic in her eyes she turned to her friends, they'd have to leave according to what the nurse said and she needed them! At least they knew what she'd said five minutes ago while she didn't. Glancing back as the nurse passed near her, Lizzie didn't know what to do but raised her hand to get the nurse's attention. I'm sorry ma'am but I don't know for sure why I'm here or what's wrong with me. My friends brought me here... She thought about mentioning her spinning head, her unfocused eyes or at least the fear that grabbed her as soon as something had left her memory. It all confused her a lot. But she decided to wait and make sure she had the nurse's attention first, so she simple said I don't feel very well though, and I don't know who I am... A few tears appeared on her cheeks as she searched her memory for any memory of how she'd gotten there. Nothing. The darkness of not knowing was catching up with her from behind.

Naughty? Did Tobi just call her naughty? Oh hoping peach blossoms, she was loosing him. “Tobi,” she said putting a hand back on his forehead. “Stop talking alright? I’m sure the nurse’ll be around shortly…” which killed Aggie to say although she didn’t know why. “Just hang in there alright? I’ll buy you a box of Chocoballs if- when! When you pull through this.” There, mentioning food should help, especially Chocoballs which were one of Tobi’s favorites. Aggie secretly hoped he wouldn’t remember. Chocoballs weren’t exactly cheep.
Aggie glanced up at the rather pretty witch standing on her chair clapping her hands and yelling directions at everyone. As her hair swung around a little under her nurse’s cap, Aggie finally understood why Tobi found the woman to be so attractive. She was pretty. Aggie however, would never let Tobi know that. “Alright,” she said, patting Tobi’s shoulder. “I guess that’s my cue to leave.” She lingered a little longer. “I suggest,” she pulled out her special, hand embroidered hanky her grandmother had made her (it had a small owl in the corner) and placed it in Tobi’s hand. The other one was pretty much spent. “You stay where you are and let her come to you. You’re likely to fall over and hurt something else if you move.”

She gave Tobi’s shoulder a squeeze. “See you in the common room later,” and with that, she slipped into the crowd heading for the door.

Mere smiled as more students began to follow her instructions. "Here, this is for the headache." She handed over a small vial and noticed the bloodshot eyes. "I have some eyedrops for your eyes, but I'll need you to hold still so I can apply them. I know not everyone likes drops in their eyes." Merry was one of those people. Contacts were about the extent of what she liked near her eyes.

"And what can I do for you?" Merry asked the young man her nerves finally settling down as she was able to gain more control over the crowdedness. Though Meredith was from a big city, she thrived on crowds and enjoyed them.

"I know honey and I'm sorry that you can't remember anything. But you're in luck. My mother for the past several years has been working on memory retreival and has had loads of luck." Hoping to encourage her. "All our memories are stored in our brains and are not lost, just repressed most likely. I'll do my best to help bring those memories back to the surface and I actually have a special potion for you to drink. It doesn't taste bad but it's no strawberries either."

She handed it to the young girl. "Drink this and wait over there and I'll come and check on you in a few minutes. Let the potion work its way through your body and I'll be able to tell you what we need to do next."

Meredith was glad to see Tobi again as she had enjoyed talking with him last time he had been in here. She gave Aggie a smile and assured her that Tobi would be fine in no time before she left. "Well when you hurt yourself you do it up right, don't you?" Merry asked looking over his bruised face and black eyes. "What happened?"

Jake eyed the blood on his t-shirt again and began to move to there bleeding side, still not sure to do with his head. The blood was starting to slow down, but the thought of it all over him freaked Jake out.

As he stood up, Jake went all dizzy and felt sick, as well as a throbbing headache.

Oh yeah... I hit the deck pretty hard... Jake felt, feeling his head.

Centre of the room it was.

Freya took the vial and downed the contents in one gulp. It wasn't completely horrible, aside from the first sensation which was a taste of tar but an aftertaste that consisted faintly of molasses overpowered it. "Thank you." Freya said as she handed the empty vial to the nurse. She nodded at the mention of eyedrops. It was bad enough that her eyes were sensitive to light from being so pale, but when they were this irritated, Freya would be better off walking around with a blindfold. "I can take it, I'm tough enough." She waited a bit more for the eyedrops...they couldn't be too bad, and nothing could be worse than what had already happened to Freya's eyes.

Lizzie tried to calm down, she'd be okay. Taking a deep breath she listened to the nurse, trying to make everything she said stay in her own head. Accepting the potion from the nurse Lizzie nodded thankfully, listening to the instructions. Drink, wait, she'll be back she thought to herself and tasted it. Ready for the worst, it wasn't that bad at all. It was, like the nurse had said, no strawberries, but the look of it hadn't really been encouraging to drinking.

Pausing halfway through Lizzie looked up and saw the nurse wander off to some other student. She still couldn't recall anything, but everything took it's time... Ian always said that. Her eyes widened thoughtfully. Ian? Who was that? She didn't connect the name to anyone in particular, but her mind seemed to have saved the name in there anyway... Shrugging she drank the rest of the potion and made a face. The tast came afterwards.

After sighing a little Lizzie breathed calmly, still feeling a bit dizzy. Bet that's my brain cells getting back in line she thought, amused. Waiting for the nurse to come back she leaned backwards and closed her eyes, trying to picture some sort of memory of her family (did she even have one?). After a while she mumbled to herself I guess, if it works, it will all come back slowly. Bet it takes a few days...

Tobi watched Aggie leave with a little bit sadness. He didn't want her to leave. But Nurse of his Dreams told her to, and we can't go upsetting the pretty Nurse. No sir.

When the Nurse/Angel got to him he tried to straighten up in his seat. The sharp protest in his muscles told him immediately that it wasn't a good idea.

"It's a long story," he said glumly. "The quick version is, 'I lost my temper, which I never do, and the fates punished me for it.'" And how. Tobi was sporting a broken,bloody nose, which had previously only been crooked since the age of ten, two black eyes (a result of the broken nose), a large purple bruise on his right cheek, a jammed shoulder, and bumps and bruises all over his long lanky body.

Dominic sighed quietly as the School Nurse tended to some other people. As he was lost in thought, the fifth year realized he ought to probably show the nurse that thing he had while he was here. Once she fixed his elbow, then yes, he would have to... the only thing stopping him was the fact that there were these other students present. But surely they were distracted by their own injuries that they wouldn't pay attention, right?

And speaking of paying attention...

"Huh?" He looked up - not realizing his gaze had been on his elbow subconsciously - at the fair skinned nurse. "Oh right, yes, my elbow joint. Dislocated with an alohomora charm," the Hufflepuff explained, uncovering his injured elbow with his good arm's hand.

Wait, nausea? Nope. Headaches? Nope. Bruises or bleeding? Nope. Well some combination of both to congregate in the middle of the room, which was exactly where the fifth year decided was best for him to go. With that, Dominic headed over towards the center of the room and waited for the nurse to attend to him.

Not that she cared about what Dominic thought of her, or anything --or did she? What a mess, her head was-- but there was a huge change that if she stood up and went to take seat in another chair so she would not have be in such a close proximity to him, Dominic might think that she was strange, yes?

And then she caught herself.

Willow was not going to move, but she was definitely sure that she did not care what Dominic Denton thought. Hmph. Ridiculous thoughts going through her head. . . hanging out with so many adolescents lately was beginning to rub off on her a little. However, as much as her erratic thoughts were starting to annoy her a bit, the fifth year could not help it, but to peek at his expression from under her long, dark lashes--which was a huge mistake, for not even the smile he offered her stopped Willow from seeing what she did.

Her forest green eyes had just noticed the same thing they had some time ago, back in the Prefect's Bathroom.

With some effort, the dark-haired girl forced herself to blink a couple of times. Oh, this was not good. Not good at all.

And she needed to leave the Hospital Wing now. Nevermind about staying there while the Nurse treated Denton--he would perfectly fine without her company. Willow, on the other hand, would not fine if she stayed there. Not to mention that the girl was eighty-five percent certain that once the shock had left his body, Denton would begin to hate her for what she'd done.

Just when the girl had made up her mind about leaving, the nurse said that all the people that was not injured should leave. Well, at least she had a good reason now. Or rather, she had a reason that Dominic would understand, because her real reason was a very good one.

"Yeah." Yeah? Since when did she say YEAH? Taking one deep breath, the girl continued, "Yes, I will see you around, Dominic," murmured the girl, as she grabbed her messenger bag and stood up. Without meeting his gaze, the girl exited the Waiting Room.

William was almost asleep in the corner, his eyes red and puffy from the spell which exploded in his face. He stood up and moved slowly to the left, though he didn't have a headache, his eyes was seriously starting to get worse. Who knew a backfiring spell could do this much damage, especially when he had done it himself.

Stepping over to the corner he sighed, sliding down and waiting. A slight pounding began behind his eyes and he closed it, savoring the peacefulness that came with it. The noise around him didn't bother him,nothing bothered him, but this soft nudging pain was close to bothering him. He didn't speak up though, knowing there were worse kids than him. He could handle a little eye pain.

After the headache potion had been taken, Merry had Freya tilt her head back just a little bit so she could drop two drops in each eye. "Ok now keep your eyes closed for just a minute so the drops can soak." She told her and poketed the drops.

Merry cleaned up the blood around his face from the brooken nose as she listened to him explain. "Whatever did you lose your temper about?" She asked curiously finishing up her cleaning and taking a pain reliever potion from her pocket so he could take it while she set his nose back. Poor guy.

She gave him a grin. Dislocation was easy enough. "I'm glad it's no worse then that. Would you like a potion for the pain? Putting it back in place really only hurts for a moment but I can give you something if you'd like."

"Excuse me, how can I help you dear?" Mere asked the young man who seemed to be able to rest during all the rukus. She gave a small chuckle when reminded that she can do the same.

Merry's eyes noticed the young man as he stumbled towards the center and held his head before she saw that he had bloodied his shirt somehow. "Aww dear what happened to you?" She used a cleaning charm to clean his shirt and directed him towards a chair so he could be comfortable.

After a few minutes, Merry returned. "Do you remember me and do you know who you are?" She asked. If the girl knew who and where she was then that was a step in the right direction.

William looked up at the sound of a voice, blinking rapidly. He was on the brinks of tears as he tried out a smile, seeing how it felt on his face. His eye gave a gentle pulse of pain and he couldn't help but wince. "It's my eye Ma'am. I was performing a spell in Transfiguration, and the spell backfired on me, hitting me in the eye." He explained, standing up shakily. " I didn't want to bother you with it but it really hurts now." he added pointing to the red swollen blob that was his eye.

Lizzie looked up at the kind nurse. I-I think I'm pretty sure my name's Lizzie. Quickly glancing around she recognized the room. I'm in the hospital wing and I just had a potion because.. because... searching her mind for a moment she added I lost my memory?

Nurse of My Dreams is touching me! Tobi's heart started hammering so hard he was quite sure it was going to shoot out of his chest and hit the wall opposite. What a mess that would make. He clenched his fists and wondered what was squishing in his right hand. Without moving his face, he glanced down.

Oh yeah. Aggie's handkerchief. Tobi's heart rate slowed down as he curled his fingers tighter around the embroidered cloth. When he could breathe again he took a deep breath.

"I'm not entirely sure Aggie didn't make a few attempts on my life in the Homework Maze for Transfiguration, she set my robes on fire you know. Well when I got out of there she took off, so she must have been guilty of something. Anyway, I tried to catch up to her which lead to..." Tobi tried to remember but between several blows to the head and the pain reliever potion, he wasn't sure of himself, "at least one collision, a fall down the stairs, and I think I ran into the doors in Entrance Hall, so I was REALLY steamed by the time I caught up with her in the courtyard."

Jake held his head up a little so she could see his broken face bloody nose and face. "I might have got into an altercation with a lampost..." he explained. It hurt, but he'd survived through worse. "I was kinda... on a sugar rush... and someone threw a chocolate frog in my face-" Jake eyed Cameron here "-and I couldn't see where I was running... I hit a lampost face-first and fell back and hit my head on the pavement..." Jake looked at the nurse strangely. "Is that duck supposed to be on your head?" Blech, all this talking was hurting Jake's head.

Weird, Jake looked down at his nice CLEAN t-shirt and smiled. "Thank you, Lady-person," he grinned dopily. "Now the genie doesn't have to waste a wish..." Jake wasn't quite sure what he was saying... but he knew it made sense.

Merry gave him a concerned look and a smile of encouragement. "You, young man are quite lucky then. Backfired spells can sometimes leave greater damage then hurt eyes." She gently patted his shoulder and pulled the eye drops out of her pocket that she had used earlier. "If you will allow me, these eyedrops will help sooth pain and heal any sign of infection."

Meredith beamed and refrained from hugging the girl. "You're right!" She told her excitedly happy that the potion was working as it should. "I'm going to give it a few more minutes to allow the potion to continue working and if it continues to progress positively I'll give you a sip more."

She shook her head and gave a slight grin thinking that she should be stocking up on bubblewrap. As the blood was cleared up she vanished the rag away. "Well I'll have you as good as new in no time and then you can plot ways to get her back." She gave him a subtle wink because she didn't condone revenge...nope not at all haha.

Since he had already taken the pain reliever potion she used her wand to fix his nose and then began the process of rubbing cream around his bruised eyes to ease the swelling. "You said you fell down the stairs? Are you're legs and back feeling alright then?" Merry asked him knowing that falling down stairs was never a fun experience.

When Jake started explaining Meredith couldn't help but chuckle and think that he would be another good candidate for her bubble wrap remedy. She raised an eyebrow when he mentioned a duck. "I have a duck on my head? No I actually had no idea it was there actually. I shall have to remember to return him to the lake in a bit, he'll ruin my good hair day." Meredith said trying to maintain a serious composure at the goofy comment.

"Here take the headache reliever potion for the headache and I'll tend to the rest of your face." She put cream on his bruises and cleaned up the blood that was dried on his face before moving back and looking at him with a grin. "There much better." Merry didn't know quite what to say about the genie so she smiled and nodded. "I hope you get all your wishes."

"Alright." Freya said as she remained with her head tilted back, and resting it on the wall behind her. "Just let me know when they should be done." The eyedrops weren't that uncomfortable. But it always felt odd when any type of foreign liquid made it's way into them.

Merry waited about a minute and then looked back at the girl. "Ok, open your eyes now and tell me if it hurts." She told her handing the girl a handkerchief so she could dab at the waterness gathered from the drops around the eyes.

Jake took the headache reliever and down it. Pretty soon things became less dizzy and, surprise surprise, his head didn't hurt anymore. This lady really was very nice, tending to his bruises like that all gentle, like. "Thank you, Lady..." he whispered, gratefully.

"So... I can go now?" Jake asked, relieved to be able to go. "And, yeah... I hope so too..." he added, confused.

Freya opened her eyes but was forced to blink, it was too bright in the room. After closing her eyes for another brief moment, she opened them again, her sight was a little blurry, but the eyes weren't as painful as they had been earlier on. "Not much, Ma'am." Freya took the cloth and dabbed the corners of her eyes, "Nowhere near as bad as they were hurting before."
