Reese couldn't believe her Prefect badge was MISSING! What had happened to it?

She just needed to calm down before she had a panic attack. The badge could be replaced, yes? She could always just go to Professor Lupa and tell her that she had lost it, but then the Professor would think she couldn't even keep up with her belongings. That would be bad for her Head of House to think that, so maybe she could just tell her the truth...

The truth being that she had NO idea how her badge got off her clothing.

She took in a deep breath of hair, then she quickly let all the air out in a moan. Her stomach was killing her! She should take a trip to Healer Ashord. That would be the best decision at the moment, but she wasn't too sure if she could make it all the way up to the third floor in her condition.

Shutting her eyes shut, she thought about being somewhere else without being hurt or being in a lot of pain. Her thoughts about that were cut short by Torin's voice. "I'm fi...okay, no...no, I'm not fine. I'm in a lot of pain," she answered as she opened her eyes to look at the Hufflepuff. What happen to you? She didn't know how to exactly answer that question without her sounding crazy. "I...I..."

Her voice trailed off when she heard another voice. That voice belonging to Jack. "Jaaaack," she cried out. He could always make her feel better, right? RIGHT? And then came the question that Torin had just asked her. The question she didn't really know how to answered. "I...I don't know what happened," she honestly answered him. She rested her head against the wall once more as she looked between the two boys that were standing there.

"I really don't feel good," she stated.

Torin was too distracted by Reese to even notice that Jack had arrived.

"We'll get yo to the Nurse, and she can help you." He watched her curiously. He wasn't so sure how to do this.

"Reese, can you stand okay? Or are you too tired now?"

Jack felt like the world was spinning around him. All he could think about right now was getting Reese to the hospital FAST...and tracking down whoever had done this to her and knocking them senseless.

"We have to get you to the hospital wing right now!" he exclaimed. What if she needed St. Mungos!? They needed to get her there ASAP! "Where is my wand?! We can levitate her..." he started feeling in his robe pockets in panic.

"Where is my wand? WHERE IS MY WAND?!" he exclaimed. He was too panicked to realize that he had actually stuck his hand into the pocket that held his wand numerous times. "WHERE IS IT?! No, no, NO TIME!" he exclaimed, giving up and turning to Torin.

"Come on, we're going to hoist her up and take her to the hospital wing!" he exclaimed. If he protested, he'd threaten to take 1000 points from Hufflepuff...he couldn't really do it, but he'd still say it!

Oh God. He thought that Jack might have a heart attack. "Breathe," he told the Head Boy as he reached down and carefully grabbed Reese so that he could pick her up.

He picked her up, getting some blood on his clothes, but that was okay.

"Lets go."

He made sure to be as careful as he could with her so not to hurt her more.

Reese halfway nodded her head when Torin mentioned them taking her to the nurse. That was probably a really good idea, but standing up didn't seem like such a good one. She wasn't even too sure if she COULD stand back up. "Do I have to stand up?" She pitifully asked. If she had the energy to stand back up, she would probably find herself already in the Hospital Wing.

She just stared at her boyfriend when he began to freak out over not finding his wand. Couldn't they just use Torin's wand? It would most definitely save time instead of just waiting there, in pain, waiting for Jack to find his. And he didn't even find it, which didn't help AT ALL. Then Jack used the term 'hoist', which sounded like it was going to hurt more.

It was too late to say anything about that since Torin began to pick her up. "Owww," she moaned before she was cradled by Torin. She stared up at the ceiling for a few more moments, then she closed her eyes and rested her head against Torin's body. Hopefully by the time she opened her eyes again, she would be with the Healer and the healer would make her feel better. Yep.

"Torin! Be gentle!" Jack snapped. He didn't mean to be so harsh, but what was he supposed to do? His girlfriend was seriously hurt! As Torin helped her up, he tried to help as well so it would hurt less for Reese, and once she was up, he put his arms around her as well so her weight was distributed more evenly amongst them.

"Alright, let's go slow, but not TOO slow," he said. That made no sense, but he didn't care, they needed to get there fast, but without hurting her anymore!

He glared at Jack. "I am being gentle." But he felt bad for the boy, so he really wasn't all that annoyed. Heck, he'd panic if something like this happened to Brody. He had freaked when she got sick.

He wasn't really sure what Jack meant by going slow but not too slow, seeing as he wasn't sure what qualified as being too slow. But he tried to go as carefully as possible.

"This better, Reese?"

Reese opened her eyes back up to notice that Jack was now helping Torin hold her. She wasn't that heavy, was she? Eh, whatever. That didn't quite matter at the moment. All that she cared about at the moment was getting to the Healer, who would make her feel a lot better. Then after that she would take a shower, then she would panic over not having her badge.

"A little bit," she replied to Torin. It was kind of hard to feel a whole lot better when you have cuts and bruises scattered amongst your body. "Let's just go," she added in almost a whisper.

Torin nodded at Reese as she spoke. He could hear her even if he wasn't sure if Jack could or not.

So he started to move a little faster. He just hoped that this didn't really hurt her. He also was sorta wishing that Jack wasn't trying to hold her, as he was feeling a little worried that he might somehow do something to make her hurt more.

Reese would have rested her head against Jack, but since Torin's body was closer to her head, she rested her head once more against Torin. As she took in a deep breath, her tummy ached one more and she shut her eyes closed due to the pain. There was NO doubt that her tummy must be bleeding some more, because what else would cause all that pain?

Once Torin began to move, she tried to hold back as much moans as she could, and she just kept her eyes closed during the trip up to the third floor.

Delanie stood in the entrance hall, her face in her hands. She was leaning against the wall, waiting for Dylan to meet her. Oh sparkle, she was feeling awful. And she didn't want to go to the hospital wing, but Dylan and Torin had insisted. So she was going. Ugh.

Dylan pulled his robes closer. He had thrown them on top of his t shirt and pyjama bottoms. He didn't need to get out of them today, so he didn't. Well that was until he was going to the hospital wing. He caught sight of Delanie. "How are you feeling?" he asked, pulling his robes tighter. He was a bit chilly. Good job he had shoes on.

"Like crap. But thank you for coming," Delanie replied, being rather blunt. No reason to beat around the bush. She wasn't excited about being pulled off the prison the Hospital Wing anyways. "Let's just go get this over with."

Dylan chuckled, "Want me to drag you? Make it more official?" He stood beside her. "You will be fine. She won't eat you. You know that right?" He let go of his robes. It wasn't really that cold.

Dee put her hands up in surrender. "No, no. I don't think that'll be needed." Pushing her hair behind her, she nodded. "I know. But I still don't like hospitals." Lanie looked rough: her hair was dull, not shiny like usual, and sorta tangled. There were dark circles underneath her eyes and her skin was paled. Her clothes didn't even glitter, and that was a shame. She was miserable. All she wanted to do was feel better.

Dylan smiled as she out her hands up in surrender. "You don't have to do that." He nodded, "It'll be fine. Come on then." He began to head up the stairs. "This way. Like the fifth floor I think."

Nodding her hurting head, Delanie turned and followed Dylan, stuffing her hands into her pockets. "Oh, by the way, nice pajama pants." She headed up the stairs and towards the fifth floor.

"Yayyyy.." Ella chuckled when they arrived in the entrance hall. She hadn't been there for a long time, since she usually only had gone outside when she went for classes or Hogsmeade. Last year, Quidditch had occupied her. Now it was time for the fuuun stuff.

"Kay. Now you've got to give me a ride." She went back onto piggyback for the third time. THIIIIS time she wasn't going to let go.

"Alright..." Carter said dipping down a bit so it was easier for her to jump on. "Ready?" he asked shifting her weight around a bit. He then began the walk to the courtyard.

For once, the fact that Destiny had watched so many spy movies on the muggle box had paid off. It was a little after midnight, and she was moving about the castle, hiding in the shadows when she thought people were around.

That's what she learned. Hide in the shadows, and you will make it to your destination.

Dressed in her dog pyjamas, she arrived at her destination; the entrance hall, and she was definitely unnoticed. She knew she had to get out of the castle, and it had to be now. With her wand held at her side, Destiny sidled against the wall, making sure no one was about, pushed open the door, and left.

She was gone.

Ivory danced her way down the steps, her every move evasive.

Jump over the Vanishing step,wait for the revolving stairs to come her way, sidestep the creaky steps, slide down the banister a bit on the second floor, and creeping down the final level.

Her small feet light on the floor, she grinned like a Cheshire cat, happy she had worn her jazz flats. Merlin, she barely even heard herself.

Sticking to the shadowy areas, she poked her head through the rungs of the stairs and looked around. As her eyes roved this way and that, her tense body relaxed as they found that there actually wasn't anyone at the bottom of the stairs. About to pull her head back she was furious to discover it appeared she was trapped.

Her head was trapped between the banister rungs. Agh!

After a few minutes of pulling and angling and holding her breath, and sucking in her cheeks and attempting to flatten her ears, she finally had the common sense to look up.

Well, that was new. Harrumphing a little as she lifted her head higher to where the space between the rungs was larger, she looked around suspiciously. Someone had plotted this she was sure, because obviously there was no way that that had been there the whole time. Someone had magicked the rungs to close in on her head thinking to keep her here! She was sure of it!

Extra cautious now, she pressed herself back against the wall, and made her way down in a sideways crab walk. Without even noticing, her body out of its own accord used everything at her disposal to help conceal itself. Her hair was darkening subtly to take the hue of the wall behind her, and she was none the wiser.

Her subconscious mind was recalling the old 'Mission Impossible' song playing in time to her sneakiness. But of course that was only her subconscious because the Ivory that was on the exterior wasn't letting her through.

The exterior Ivory had planned and manipulated her timing to coincide with a suspiciously loose screw on a light fixture on the first floor landing.

It was just a matter of minutes, before gravity itself did short work of the lamp sending it careening down the stairs with a crash, leaving her a distraction and ample time to slip out the front door. Something she did quite easily thanks to her small size.

And with a small breeze of spring night air and the gentle closing of the door she was gone into the night.

Arya walked swiftly and silently down the empty hall. Her face was still hidden by her hood as her eyes darted around looking for any movements that would warn her of another student or worse...professor.

Placing a hand on the door she turned to look back down the hall, letting out a breath she didn't realize she was holding. Pushing open the door that lead to the grounds she quickly steped out and was gone.

This was not looking good at all.The two places she had really hoped to find her friends came up empty. With a sinking feeling in her stomach Marie followed Carter out of the kitchen to the ground floor. Maybe they would find them there, or at least find a clue leading them to where they were.

Finally making it to the entrance hall she grabbed Carters arm and asked. "Where do you think we should go next?" There were still so many places to search she just didn't know where to go. Looking around she seen an empty classroom. "Maybe they are in there studying," she said pointing towards the classroom. She knew it was very unlikely they were there but she didn't want to leave any place unsearched.

Kay looking around felt like someone was watching her. She had ran all the away up the stairs to get away from the lab. Rex could not come with her and the castle had been a little scary lately. Running across the hall She hit someone. Falling back she lands on the buttom. "Oh! I'm sorry." She says looking at who it Was. "I DIDn't....." Seeing who it was Kay isn't sure if they hadn't ran into her. "Watch where your going." She says a little louder. God of all people it had to be Marie.

" Be nice to Marie" rex told Kay. " Did you just have enough trouble at potions lab?" Rex asked Kay. " Marie had just been at the healers" rex explained to Kay. " The New Magical Trio" does not pick on anyone when they nave not done anything wrong to us and this includes Marie" Rex reprimanded Kay.
