Oh, come on, Professor Grumpy-Pants. Why did he have to shoot down every idea Milton had? It looked suspicious, so Milton was checking it out. And he wasn't going to stop just because the Headmaster in 1753 possibly just
'didn't want it written for some reason.' So. Professor. You've been ignored.

They were not all that persistent in her case and, well, Kurumi didn't think that there was anything conclusive to be made about headaches alone. Lots of people got them. "Comas?" she asked as she peered over a little to see just what he was reading. "But...when you are in a coma I've read cases where people were aware to some level of what was going on around them. It is your body's way of slowing you down so you can heal..." Which had little to no connection to what had happened to Kurumi. At least she felt so. "Not to mention that people in comas don't all wake up at essentially the exact same moment..."
When Milton asked about memory loss her cheeks flushed instantly and she looked down at the random newspaper article she had been reading from the 1700's. "Um...well...um...doesn't a black out require some sort of...head trauma..." Maybe she should be looking at some medical magazines while she was in here.
"Do you remember a ball that Toddles, the baby house elf, was throwing around the Opening Feast?" Kurumi asked. The creepy orb that had seemed to practically seek her out in the corridor last term. "The Headmaster has already been investigating it and, well, it shouldn't be too much of a concern now because...it is in pieces." However that had happened the Gryffindor didn't know. She just saw it in pieces in the observation ward.
Okay, so maybe Kurumi's headaches weren't anything out of the ordinary. Just OWLs stress. When she questioned the comas, Milton pointed to the part in his textbook where it mentioned them. And she was right, as far as Milton knew, that people in comas are a little bit aware of what's going on. Or at least that they have been 'sleeping'.
"That's true, but on the previous page it says that the medical records concerning this case were 'spotty and unsophisticated'. So these 'comas' that these students were in could possibly be related to what happened to you and the other students." Milton looked at Kurumi. It was entirely possible. The whole story of 1753 and the black mold infestation was rather fishy. There was a lot of missing information that could have been due to people freezing and missing chunks of life because of it.
And about blackouts... Head trauma?
"I don't think so... Not necessarily. I think anyone can get blackouts depending on stress, environment, lack of sleep... mold infestations." Milton shrugged. He wasn't a doctor though.
Oh yeah, that baby house elf. Milton almost forgot. Furrowing his eyebrows, Milton thought about that ball/orb thingy. The Headmaster had seemed pretty concerned about it, especially since he said he was investigating in it. Wait... Milton looked up at Kurumi.
"The ball broke?" He furrowed his eyebrows again.
"When did that happen? And did anything happen to that baby house elf?" Quote:

Milton noticed another boy behind him. The whole school... frozen?
"I suppose it could have been possible... but I think if the whole school had frozen, it would have been recorded, right? Maybe they wanted to keep this on the down-low so it wouldn't cause too much chaos." Hogwarts thrived on chaos, though.
