Damian took the reviving potion that te nurse had gave him and went to Lasca. He putted her in a seating position and gave her the potions and give her neck a massage so that she drank it.

"Come on Lasca. Drink." said he, "wake up sweety."

Lasca woke up and blinked e few times. "Hey. Welcome back", smiled he. "The nurse will check your head."

Than he looked to the the other Ravenclaw. "Thank you. for being here and watching for Lasca. By the way, I'm Damian" said he hoestly.

Lasca came awake with a disgusting taste on her tongue. Opening her eyes, she took a look around herself. It took a moment for her eyes to focus and the room to stop spinning. It kept right on spinning however, and it made her stomach queezy. The young Ravenclaw promptly turned an odd green color. Out of instinct she shoved out of the chair and vomited in a corner.

When she was sure she was done, she tried to get back up off the floor. Instead she ended up crawling back to her seat. Recognizing the two people that were next to her she bowed her head so that her hair covered her face. Her head was splitting, she couldn't remember how she had gotten where she was, and she had just disgraced herself and thrown up in front of her friends. This day can't possibly get any worse. Tears began falling down her face but she wasn't going to try and stop it.

She wanted to say something to Mariel and Damian, but she thought it better to keep her mouth shut. Lest she disgrace herself again. Sighing she leaned forward so that her elbows were resting on her knees.

"The nurse wants me to administer this to you," Antonio explained to Jack. "You've had a lot of dizziness, and this is going to help you with that. Don't worry, the nurse is busy right now, but she'll be back to take care of you in just a little bit." Antonio was speaking softly. "Here, go ahead and drink this, slowly." He held the vial to Jack's mouth, trying to make it easier for hiim to drink the medicine.

Jack raised his head a little "Uh huh, thanks" he said before he drank a little, wow, it worked fast, Jack felt so much better, but he still kept his eyes closed.

Damian jumped up when Lasca vomitted. With an *evanesco* everything was clean then he took her in his arms "ssccchhh. It's alright. That can happen. Soon you will be alright." whispered Damian while stroking her back.

Lasca felt awful, all she wanted to do was go back to sleep. She felt herself being lifted and before she knew it was in Damian's lap. While this might not have been proper at the moment she really didn't care. Sighing, she closed her eyes and relaxed as best she could.

Without looking up she posed a question that was nagging her mind. "Why are you being so nice to me? We have only just met." She liked Damian. He was nice, thoughtful, and a good guy. She also thought is was rather dashing but she would keep that to herself. But, all of what he had done was going way beyond the normal. He was acting like they had known each other for years. She had to admit she was comfortable with him. Sighing, the confused Ravenclaw awaited his answer.

Mariel looked up and watched with concerned interest as the nurse came over and gave the Ravenclaw boy a vial that he then gave to Lasca. As the boy addressed her, Mariel looked up and gave him a small smile. "No problem. She's my friend," Mariel told him simply. "And I'm Mariel," she added as he introduced himself. "Do you think she'll be alright?"

The young Ravenclaw watched as her fellow housemate woke up and groggily made her way to the corner as she promptly got sick. Putting her hand gently on her shoulder as she sat back down next to her, Mariel was slightly startled as Damian then pulled Lasca onto his lap. It wasn't long before she felt extremely awkward and uncomfortable, much like.... what was that Muggle phrase that she had read about? a third wheel? yes, that.

Getting up from her seat, she said, "I, um... just wanted to make sure you were okay, Lasca. The nurse will check you out and I'm sure that Damian can see you back to the common room." She nodded in his direction. Blushing slightly in her awkwardness, she slowly said, "I'll, um... see you... later." Then she headed towards the door, figuring she could get her homework done, or something along those lines.

Lasca reached out and grabbed Mariel's hand. "I am sorry if I am being rude, my friend." She continued weakly. "Thank you for your concern and help. You are my best friend I don't know how I will ever repay you." She managed a smile for her truest friend. She felt bad that she had made her friend uncomfortable. The young Ravenclaw really hoped that she hadn't offended her friend.

A sharp pain in her head made her wince. She dropped Mariel's hand and pressed it to her forehead. More tears spilled out of her eyes. Goddess, please kill me now. Lasca couldn't help the small moan of pain that escaped her lips, the pain made her vision go black and the room spin.

Mariel was again startled, this time as Lasca grabbed her hand as she went to leave. Her face fell as she listened to her words. She felt extremely guilty for putting the focus on herself when it was Lasca who should have been attended to; that was not her intention at all. "Oh, no, you've done nothing wrong," she told her apologetically. "I just didn't want to be in the way..." she trailed off. "Nothing to repay.. we're friends," she added. Mariel didn't think she was doing anything out of the ordinary.

Mariel bit her lower lip as she watched Lasca who was obviously in more pain. Tentatively she lowered herself into the seat across from the two Ravenclaws, unsure of what to do. She still felt somewhat uncomfortable, but didn't want anyone to feel bad if she left. Feeling it was probably best to stay put to make sure Lasca was okay as was the original plan, she glanced up towards the nurse as she attended another patient.

"Why am I doing this? Your are a friendly person and I like you." said Damian honestly while stroking her back. "Why shouldn't I be nice to you? It is self-evident that I help" smiled he.

"Nice to meet you." said he to Mariel, "Sure she will be alright. Don't worry."

When Mariel stand up, he felt a little unconfortable because they are best friends and he went between they.
"Mariel. If you want to stay with Lasca. Just say it and I go. Because you are best friends" said he honestly to her.

Lasca nodded at her friend's words. They were friends and she was very happy to have a friend as wonderful as Mariel. She felt really selfish trying to keep them both there but, at the moment she really didn't care.

The young Ravenclaw smiled at his explanation. He was being very gallant and it made her feel, cherished. Okay, maybe not the best word but it was the best she could come up with at the moment. That's when Damian's next words registered.

Lasca groaned. Now she had made Damian feel uncomfortable. Where was the nurse, before she caused anymore problems? Lasca closed her eyes tight and tried to fight through the pain. She was being a bother and making her friends feel awkward. Sighing she decided that there was no help for it, there was nothing she could do in her current state. As if to prove her point her head gave another stab of pain. She burrowed her head in Damian's shoulder and gasped. Fresh tears watered her eyes, and was it her? Or did the pain seem to be getting worse? She couldn't think anymore past the stabbing aching, what had they been talking about?

"No problem," Lima said as they headed inside the castle. When they reached the Waiting Room, Lima took a seat in one of the chairs and memories of her last visit there came back stronger. She wondered if that rude woman was still there.

Shana held in all her tears she never cryed in public...All the memories of her parents and all the tears and goodbye's.She leaned on Lima's Shouder.And smiled, Hoping she wouldn't be here for long.

She noticed that Shana looked like she was trying not to cry and decided to not mention anything. She didn't want to risk embarrassing her friend. Instead she just smiled as the girl leaned on her shoulder and said, "you will feel better in no time. The nurses here are really fast."

Shana sat quietly not saying anything,,She keep taking really slow deep breathes.She closed her eye's tryng to shut out everything,That just made everything worse.In her head she saw a picture of her parents Lying in a hospital bed.She quickly opened her eyes and blinked and tears rolled down out her eyes oen after one slowly.Shana sat staring at the wall.

Mariel sighed. She was doing it again - drawing unwanted attention and making people feel bad in the process. She shook her head in Damian's direction. "No," she told him quietly. "You're a concerned friend, too. There's no reason why you shouldn't stay." Just because she was feeling weird didn't mean everyone else should. She didn't mean to project her feelings onto anyone else.

She managed a reassuring smile in the direction of the other two Ravenclaws, which faltered when she saw that Lasca seemed to experience a fresh wave of pain. Mariel donned a look of concern as she wondered if there was something more wrong with her friend than she originally thought.

Meredith nodded with a grin. "I know exactly how you feel." She assured him and poured a goblet of pumpking juice and added a bit of skelegrow to it to help make it taste better and handed it to Chase. "Here drink this and have a seat for a few minutes as it works."

Merry continued to wipe down the girls' face, arms and hands carefully. As she cleaned her she took note of the burn welts, the hair and loss of hearing apparently. When the girl became recognizeable again, Meredith went to her cabinets and pulled out some creams for the welts and ear drops to help restore the loss of hearing.

She applied the eardrops first and allowed those to settle in before trying again to talk to Paris. "How is that? Can you tell me what happened?" Any details would help Mere be able to help her more. She took the cream and began to apply it to the burns along her arms and cheeks. It would hurt a little bit but as the cream absorbed it would begin to heal.

Meredith walked over to the young girl and handed her a handkerchief and gave her a smile. She looked sad and scared so Mere patted her shoulder. "I'll be right with you hun, you'll be fine."

Meredith headed over to the group of ravenclaws. "Ok, I see the head is hurting, but can you tell me why and how perhaps?" She asked curiously grabbing some potions and getting ready to take a couple of tests.

Jack waited wearily for the nurse to come and see him.

She was almost lulled to sleep at the nurse's soft hands wiping her face. Boy, she was good. She wondered if she gave out massages at all. Paris would totally die if she did. She would be her best customer.

She sat still as the nurse went to put some ear drops in her ear. She hated wet thing sin her ears, but as she couldn't hear anything she thought it was best to tough this out and let the nurse work her magic. She waited a few seconds be fore she wiggled her ears, something she learned from her brothers, she heard the muffled conversation of the girl's next to her. "Fine thanks," She said noting that the nurse again asked shy Paris looked like she had been through a war. Hmmm, how to put this as to not get into trouble... "Er...um well I am an inventor." She said trying to smile and only succeeding in cracking her lip and wincing in pain. "And I was trying to test my latest invention and it didn't work out how I had planned." There she did. She was totally honest without telling her anything incriminating.

She wanted to hit the ceiling when she started with that cream! YIKES! Oh it burns, she wanted to tell her, but she was almost 14 she couldn't cry like a little baby, well like her brother Lucas would have done. She clutched her eyes closed till the pain went away, the it was sort of cooling. Ok this ain't so bad. Good thing I didn't cry.

"Ahh inventing sounds like alot of fun." Meredith told her as she continued to apply the cream. "What were you attempting to invent?" Attempting because obviously something hadn't gone right. She finished with the cream and pulled out a special brush and began to brush the girls hair and try to get it to stop sticking in all directions and then some. "This is my favorite brush. You can use it all day and not only does it not cause static...very important, but it will also not pull on the head and hurt it." Merry told the girl giving her a bit of a wink and continuing to to try to tame the jungle that was Paris hair.

Robert watched as Lyra blushed and he couldn't help but turn slightly red himself. What was that? Why did I do that? He looked ahead as they headed toward the hospital wing, his mind racing for a reason, explanation or something as to why he had kissed her. Even if it was as benign as on the forehead. Could it be he actually liked her? She didn't constantly fight with him the way Mariska did. Then there was the fact that it appeared Mariska had moved on....maybe...maybe it wouldn't be so bad for him to as well...?

Her voice broke him out of his reverie and he looked down at her noting how somehow she had managed to wrap her own arm around him. "Umm...yea, sure. What about?" He pushed open the door of the hospital wing and held it open for her. Looking around he found a couple of seats together and walked over there, helping Lyra into the chair and sitting down beside her with an almost tired sigh.

Lyra sat down waiting for her turn. She closed her eyes as her face was throbbing with pain at the moment. Her only hope, she didn't look like a crazy person with a FAT nose. The FAT nose had to go away. Tears continued to stream from her eyes from just the simple pain of her nose and not the fact that she was crying. She was past that.

"I will have to speak to Professor Bunbury as soon as I can," she said as she placed her fingers on either side of her nose. At least it didn't feel as though it was broken, just quite sore. "I need to ask her a few things." That deserved a smirky look on her face.

Lasca groaned. Was that someone talking to her? Glancing up with watery eyes she recognized the nurse. With a supreme effort she tried to remember how she had come by the injury. "Potions class. Peeves the Poltergeist messing with groundskeeper. Another student threw her cauldron at him, but was going to hit the Headmaster. I think I jumped in front of it, it hit me in the back of the head. I don't remember much." While she was glad she remembered that much, she was rewarded with another stab of pain.

A startled cry escaped the young Ravenclaw as her head felt like it was going to explode. She clutched at her head and more tears burst from her eyes. She leaned back into Damian's shoulder. Goddess make it stop! The room was going black again.

Dashing up to the Hospital Wing wasn't easy when you didn't know where it was.Having lost Mariel half way there,the stairs had then proceded to move sending her in the opposite direction to where she needed to be.
Finally getting there Sarah pushed open the door of the waiting room and saw the people she was looking for.
"Lasca!," she said,rather louder than she should have.Dropping to her haunches in front of her friend she looked her in the eye. "How are you feeling? What has the nurse said?" The second question was directed towards Mariel.She didn't know the boy who had bought Lasca here,but thanked him anyway.Oh it was turning into quite a day.
Looking at Mariel again she smiled. "Sorry I took so long to get here,the stairs moved and I had to go another way to you."

She nodded. "Oh I love it. That's what I want to do when I grow up." She admitted. "My dad built me the best lab at home. It had everything." She gushed. She held her breath as she started on a new area to apply the cream. She sighed, the nurse wasn't going to let up. "I'm trying to make a disappearing bomb. Like if you threw it at something it would make it disappear, of if you held on it you would disappear. I think I added too much cayenne pepper to it or something." She told her.

She smiled as the woman started brushing her hair. Just like her mom used to do. Her thick black hair was a utter mess and sticking up everywhere. "Its a really nice brush. It feels great," She said happily as she sat there getting her hair brushed like a little girl, but she didn't care.
