"Will you hold still, Mr. Upstead." Daniel tightens the grip on the hand of the boy that is over his shoulder and holds the other arm from behind.

And then the boy pukes... Again... Oh well... This is an adventure I need before heading for bath later...

Clark stared at Dani. She was more hard-core than he thought.

"Isn't that against some teacher rule?" Clark asked. "It's just...wrong." he nodded in agreement with Dani. Why would a proffesser do that to a student, even an annoying one?

"Quit squirming, Jake! This bit will make it stop," Vindictus said and grabbed Jake's jaw. He shoved the unwrapped half of the puking pastile (the half that stops the effect) into the Hufflepuff's mouth and forced his mouth shut. "That's a good boy. Now swallow!"

That.

Was.

Like.

Mega.

Mean.

Seriously, like GRABBING his jaw and MANHANDLING his mouth open. Dude. Can we say, 'ultimate control freak'?

But, Jake had no choice but to swallow the sweet, it was a kind of reflex.

But... the puking stoppppppped. Jake still felt unwell, but he knew it was just because he'd panicked. That would pass soon enough, right? Right!

"I... I... I..." he tried to say, kind of whimpering a little. "What...? Want my daddy..."

He was sounding so younggggggg.

Doesn't it just melt your heart?

No?

Meh.

it melts mine :D
 

As Jake's puking stopped, so did Clark's feelings of anxiety. He no longer felt the need to hide in a corner. "Um..Dani? You can get off me now." he said lamely. "You okay Jake? No puking anymore...Um, sir?" he turned to Vindictus, "Do you know why he had that frog?"

Dani jumped off of Clark and ran and tackle-hugged Jake. "You're alive!" She was so happy! Then she turned and glared at Professor Vindictus. She had liked him until he had tried to kill Jake. What a meanie. She looked over at Clark still laying there. Hmm.. Were they still gonna go through with Operation Water Balloon? She still had payback to attend to.

Vindictus let go of Jake and breathed a sigh of relief. "I want you to go shower and put on some clean clothes. Then I want you to go down to the Great Hall and have a giant glass of pumpkin juice and eat some food. No sweets. Can you do that, Jake?"


He looked up at Dani and Clark. "Can the two of you make sure he gets some solid food in him? And keep the sweets away from him for at least a day. We don't want this little Quidditch player to eat too much sugar, do we?"

Um...yes? Cos then he'll go psycho and get a detention and he can't play and then Ravenclaw will win?

"No sir." Clark agreed. "C'mere Jakey, c'mere little Jakey..."Clark wandered over to him. "Ok, Dani, I'm gonna pick him up so watch out, ok? One....two...three!" He lifted Jake up in his arms. "Nice,J." Clark smirked below his breath. "Smooth."

"B-but... sir..." Jake stuttered, biting his lip. "All my stuff... the Hufflepuff Common Room flooded... an' an' an'... no sweets?"

Nyawww, that weren't fair.

Well... actually it was. Very fair, in fact.

Looking at Dani, who'd tackle-hugged him, and Clark, who had been tackled, Jake bit his lip.

AND then he was... up in the air.

Woaahhhh, boy. Stomach is still a little woooozy. Keep steady.

Dani watched as Clark lifted Jake up. "Ok." She nodded at the professor and then helped to stabalize Jake. "Come on Jake. Let's get you out of here so Clark can get you cleaned up." She loved her friends really, but she was not going to help with cleaning him up. Eww. She snagged the enchanted water balloons from Clark and slid them in her pocket. She'd have to do it on her own apparently. "I have a little chocolate in my bag." She whispered to Jake.

"I'm sure that someone has some clean clothes you can wear," Vindictus said and remembered the closet of spare uniforms. "So go shower and I'll meet you in the Great Hall with some clean Hufflepuff robes, okay?"

... just in time for me to SLEEP
 

"Mkay, sir," Jake nodded as Clark carried him off. Strange boy, that Clark. "Thank you, sir," he added, rubbing at his eyes a little.

Dude... he liked Vindictus. That man was like, proper cool. Utmost respect to the Vindy-dude.

Dani waved goodbye to her friends as they left and then moved back toward the Common Room with the balloons in her pocket. She was sleepy. Revenge could wait until after her nap. She pulled out her bar of chocolate and began to munch. Now that Jake was gone she didn't feel bad about eating chocolate. Hopefully hers wouldn't make her sick. She smiled at the Professor, sort of, before going into the Common Room.

He watched as Jake and friends wandered off, and pulled out his own wand to help clean up the mess (not to mention, get rid of the stench). "Evanesco!" Vindictus said the charm several times until the floor was clean and the corridor was rid of the smell. Tucking his wand away, he hurried off to the closet where he knew spare school uniforms were kept.

Seeing that Professor Vindictus had cleared the corridors of any remaining puke and water, Anna put her wand away. It seemed that whatever was happening a few moments ago was over and done with, anyway. Anna glanced down at her water balloon-soaked uniform, then turned in the direction of her Common Room. She wanted to get a new skirt put on before she paraded throughout the school in prefect patrols. "See you around, Professor Vinductus," she said, then walked away.

Irial slipped out of the Gryffindor/Slytherin common room unnoticed. It was growing way too crowded in there and it was incredibly stifling. He realized he still had his book in his hand and he smiled. Spotting a window that was clear of any students, he headed over to it and stood near it, and cracked open the book.

Finally he'd get some time to read peacefully.
