Nooooooo, she didn't want to goooo!!!

She looked across the corridor to the door that led to the Healer's office and nearly screamed. "Um...Elodie I change my mind!!! I think my wrist feels better already and look--th-the colour isn't so bad anymore!!" She clung to the girl with her only good hand and began pleading with her. "Please don't make me go!!! I don't wanna die!!" she practically screamed. Now she was having second thoughts about being dragged taken to the healer. What if she got annoyed at her for coming to her with such a petty problem?!?!?

"Maybe we can go another day...I'm sure my hand can wait. It doesn't hurt all that much and like you said, it doesn't need to be hacked off. So as far as she was concerned everything was fine and they could go play outside or go look for fun far away from the Hospital Wing.

Elodie was NOT impressed, to say the least. "Alexa Cambridge, shush!" NOW. Because this was getting ridiculous. How could someone be so scared that they wouldn't GO?! Els eyed her as she got louder, and shoved her hand over the other girls mouth. "You're going to get us in trouble if you keep that up, and then the Healer will be the LEAST of you worries, you understand me? Blink once for yes, twice for no." If she blinked twice, then Els was going to drag her into that Hospital Wing by her HAIR.

OOh dear. She was scared of dying. That was totally Elodie's fault. Oops. D:

"No. You're going. We're going. That is final." The twelve year old sounded completely defiant, and that she was. "Besides, would you rather leave it so it maybe gets infected and you die or it has to be chopped off, ORRR you can get it sorted so you can do cartwheels and play in your bubble WITHOUT getting more hurt?" YES. Elodie had brought up the BUBBLE!

Lex never thought of it that way...but really? Would they have gotten in trouble for being scared out of their wits? Hmm...she wouldn't be surprized. If she could lose five points for giggling then she was pretty sure that something terrible could have happened just like Els said. She was about to say one more thing when Elodie's hand was slapped across her mouth. She looked at her in shock but blink once so she wouldn't do anything drastic or irrational. Not that there was anything wrong with drastic and irrational stuff but at the moment while her wrist still hurt she couldn't afford to do anything too bad.

Her eyes darted to the door once more before they rested on the end of the corridor that they had just come from. If she could just run...as quickly as possible once Els let her go....

She began pouting when she heard that they were still going in but the pout left and her eyes opened wide when the girl mentioned that she could have died if she didn't go in--forget the talk of it needing to be chopped off or infected--she didn't wanna die!!!!!!! She started screaming in a muffled manner as the hand was still over her mouth but stopped when mention was made of cartwheeling....and more importantly, the bubble. She wanted to use the bubble and roll down the stairs and do fun things!!!! Lex began nodded her head frantically to let her know that she would cooperate. The bubble would become a reality!!!!

Oh dear.

Elodie blinked as the girl started to make NOISE under her hand. UGH. WAS THAT A TONGUE TOUCHING HER PALM?!?!!!!!!! Cue major freakout.

Pulling her hand back quickly, Els wiped it down the front of her robes, and STARED at Alexa. "You just licked me. That's gross." Elodie's hands were CLEAN. They did not need CLEANING, Alexa. That was...just ugh. Gosh. Part of her actually wanted to throw up. But she wouldn't. Because she was a good friend, and Alexa needed her today, otherwise her wrist would never get fixed up.

"Hey, I'll hold you hand, yeah? The good one. And we can do it together. And i'll be there when you're finished, and we can go get some ice cream, okay?" Promise. Because Elodie liked ice cream, and it always made her feel better.

So long as Alexa didn't lick her hand again.

....

It served her right. Lex didn't usually resort to such actions but what did the girl expect to happen? She was sick and tired of people trying to silence her in fact and she'd rather be allowed to make as much noise as she liked. Well at least Elodie didn't use a wand, that would have annoyed her...a lot.

Lex stares over at her. "Yeah I know, but you silenced me; that's mean." Very mean in her book actually. "But I am sorry. I just don't like when people do that. I've barely been here but I've already had a wand pointed at me more times than I care to remember with people putting a silencing charm on me!" She pouted just a bit. "At least you didn't use a wand... She might just have stormed off in silent rage if she had.

Lex smiled when she offered to hold her hand...her father always did that when he knew she was scared. The smile brightened at the promise of ice-cream. "We can get ice-cream around here?! Really?? Where?! I'd really like if we went for some!!!"

ICE CREAM!!!!

Okay, the way Alexa was going, Elodie was going to take her by the hair and take her to the damn Healer. And then LEAVE her there. Absolutely, she would.

"You were SCREAMING." Screaming was annoying, unattractive, and it was a super huge pet peeve of Elodie's. "Why would I shove a wand at you, really? I'm your friend, Alexa. But I mean it. We need to go and get your wrist sorted out. And you need to not be so violent and..LICKY! I feel violated!" Because her hand was DIRTY now. Meh. Atleast Alexa wasn't a dog that licked...themselves. Elodie was sure of that.

Smiling, at that point, the second year held her hand out for Alexa's and nodded. "I'll find you some, alright? But you need to come with me. Because I don't want to drag you in there. But I will, if I have to." Had Elodie been any older, she would have picked her up, slung her over her shoulder and then gone. But she wasn't older.

..... This would have been so much easier with a wheelbarrow.

Lex didn't like the look that grew on Elodie's face. It was that look most older kids had right before they got all physical. She would have started freaking out but then she reminded herself that she and Elodie were on just about the same height and weight so she couldn't have gotten all that physical in the first place. She nearly sighed in relief but thought better of it.

"Well of course I was screaming! I got a glimpse of the Healer twice last night and at neither times was she smiling and at both times she was being intimidating and taking point!" The last she checked, no one really walked up to a woman who was like that--especially for a wrist that was simply hurting her and nothing more! As for her question. "I don't know why you would, I don't know why they did either but I guess you wouldn't because we're friends." Sigh. Friends were good. They never tried using their wands on you!

She couldn't help but laugh a bit when Els confessed to feeling violated. It was pretty funny. "Yeah...sorry about that...." APOLOGETIC GRIN.

Yikes. Warning received! Lex nodded. "Okay, okay, jeez you win. No dragging..." All she could think about now was the nice ice-cream...that would make this all worth it...unless the flavours were nasty...

Els didn't like the fact tthat Alexa was still going on about the Healer. "Quit complaining, or I'll take note from everyone else and try to silence you with my wand. But I'll have you know. My old cat, is now a meowing toad because I got a spell wrong." So maybe Alexa didn't actually want to be on the wrong side of Elodie's wand. Because like Lady Kurumi said, Gemini probably didn't like being a toad.

Alexa was apoloising for the whole licking this, so Elodie supposed she could forgive her. Only if she promised not to do it again. "You promise you won't do it ever again?" Because like.. this friendship was going nowhere if that was what was going to happen. And Elodie wasn't comfortable in a licking friendship. Because she didn't want to lick no hands, alright?!

At twelve and a few months, the girl smiled at her friend, and took her hand. "No dragging, no crying, and then ice cream." Ta da. Perfect.

O____O

"Alright, I'll stop, honest!" She didn't like the sound of that one bit! This was why she didn't want people pointing their wands at her. There was always room for error and she always seemed to be there when there was error. She didn't even want to know what spell she was trying to do when she turned her cat into a toad; that just seemed impossible. "What were you trying to do to him anyway?" Though she was just a little afraid to ask. It couldn't have been anything good...

"Of course, pinky promise!" Lex didn't usually go around licking people anyway. It was usually only in those extreme cases when she couldn't think to do anything else. "And it's not a habit even so I won't be tempted to any time soon." Nope. Licking was not her thing; biting was.

Not that she would ever bite her friend...that was reserved for annoying people who bothered her beyond the point of rational thinking. Nod.

Lex smiled. "Okay...that sounds pretty promising then..." She wouldn't cry, no, she would try to be a big girl and besides...she was a lion, this meant she had to be brave.

MHM. BAM. TAKE THAT ALEXA CAMBRIDGE.

"Good!" The second year replied, rather smug. She wasn't terrible with a wand, but she had only had it a year now, so she wasn't up with the seventh years. Infact, she wasn't even best in her year. But she knew how to use it. Only for simple things. :| SHE WASN;T FANTASTIC OKAY. IT WASN'T HER FAULT. ELODIE WAS A WAND BABY. Laughing as Alexa asked what she was trying to do when the whole Gemini issue arose, Elodie shrugged her shoulders. "I was trying to make my pillow a bit puffier and he got in the way I guess." And then he had de-furred and shrunk into a toad. It was weird to watch happen, actually. Hysterical, rather.

"I hope you won't be tempted to...because it's gross. And I don't LIKE being licked! It isn's something I pride myself on enjoying." If it was EVER done again, Elodie would have to buy Alexa some lollipops or something. And then stay away from here for a while O____O.

Okie doke then, time to actually make progress. "Sooo, what flavours do you like then?" Making casual conversation whilst walking, yep. Step. Step. STEP. THEY WERE GETTING CLOSER.

YAY.

Laura was walking down the corridor, she was happy now, she was finally starting to show signs of growing up, though she just wished that she knew where Jacen was so she could ask him how he was and see if he was enjoy the start of term, she was sure he wouldn't mind her speaking to him, she just hoped she could find him soon because her feet was killing her from all the walking.

*Running down the hall Jacen Tillstorm had a very evil grin on his face. He had just hexed a guy that when ever he sat down a stink bomb would go off. That's what he got for calling Jacen a brainless pretty boy. Making a quick turn he almost ran into a Hufflepuff but spun away just in time. But in doing this he ran into a wall.*
"Merlin's cheesy crackers that hurt!!!"
*He said as he landed hard on his bum. Thankfully a nice cold hard stone floor was there to catch him.*

Laura looked at the guy that had almost hit her, she wanted to tell him to watch where he was going but she was trying to get close to this guy since his Aunt hated her. "Are you okay?" Laura smiled at him. "Don't need to go see the healer or anything?" Laura hoped he didn't because she hated the evil women. "Need a hand?" Laura held out her hand for the boy, she hoped that he would take it.

*Rubbing his head Jacen took her hand and pulled himself up. Dusting himself off he gave her a thankful smile.*
"Thanks for the hand, and no. I try to stay away from healers if I can help it. Anyway I'm pretty sure Cece would try to trick me or grow a third arm to me if I went in there. No need to reaffirm her thinking on Hufflepuffs."

Laura smiled at the guy, so Cece was the evil healer names. "Hello Jacen." Laura hoped the guy would remember him. "I'm not sure if you remember me but we spoke in Diagon Alley." Laura looked at him. "Well anyway I'm glad you don't need to go to the Healer, because she hates me for some strange reason." Laura sighed. "Well anyway Jacen how are you enjoying Hogwarts so far, if you need a hand with anything, I'm always around."

"Yeah Laura right? I remember." *How could he forget the girl who bothered his cousin more than him? He also gathered that Cece didn't like this puff. He still wasn't sure why.*
"Thanks for the offer but I'm doing fine for now. Getting lost is a way to have a side adventure. So you have no idea why she doesn't like you?"

Laura smiled at Jacen. "Nope I have no idea why." Laura sighed, "I did accidently call her Professor Tillstorm once but it was an accident." Laura sighed and she was sure it was better that being called a healer anyway. "I agree with you there, when I get lost I just pretend I'm on an adventure somewhere." Laura smiled. "I'm glad you are doing fine."

"It's not that bad here. And I get to bug my cousin with the house I was sorted in."
*That had given Jacen a lot of pleasure. The one house he gets sorted into is the one his cousin hates most. Not just his cousin but the whole family thought he would be like them and get sorted into Slytherin.*

Laura looked at Jacen and smiled. "Well Hufflepuf is a great house to be sorted into." Laura said truthfully. "Want to be friends?" Laura was sure that would make Healer Tillstorm go crazy and it she wouldn't have done anything wrong, though she did like this guy and she did want to be friends with him for real. "Anyway if you want to know anything about Hogwarts, I can try and answer the questions for you."

*Friends? That would bug Cece like crazy. Looks like Jacen would be getting a new friend then.*
"Sure, one care never have to many friends... And I'll be sure to find you if something comes up. For now though I best be going before my cousin finds out what I did."
*Giving her a wink he ran off down the hall.*

Ariana walked down the corridor, she was heading back down to her common room to get her broom for practice. her mind had so all over the place lately and she really didnt know waht to do. she needs to speak with someone who wasnt biased on the whole situation.. but practice first

Jordan strolled along the third floor corridor, he was finally out of his wheelchair at long last. He was still concerned about where Jez was... How much torture was she undergoing? He shuddered to think of what Rowena had to go through before her death, or any of them for that matter - especially Benjy who was murdered so young by Team Wolf.

As he pondered through his thoughts he noticed Ariana walking slightly ahead of him, "Ariana!" he called, "Wait up!"

Ariana was walking with her head down through the hall when she heard someone call out her name she turned around and cought sight of jordan.. and he was out of his wheel chair. Ariana smiled for the first time in weeks and ran up to him throwing her arms around him in a hug "Jordan! Your Ok!" meaning he was out of that awful chair

Jordan laughed as he hugged Ariana back, "I regained feeling about a couple of days ago, it was just a matter of managing to walk again. I'm still a little shaky but I can walk and that's all that counts," he grinned. "What's been going on with you then? I have by seen you for ages!"
