Chapter 5
Divination was good. I did have a scare though. This rooms cool though. The medic beds lined up together you know.
"Werewolf!" The teacher shouted behind me looking at me.
"Werewolf!" She cried again.
The whole class looked at me.
"I'm not a werewolf." I chuckled uneasily.
"No, no, but you'll meet one, mark my words, and beware! The wolf will kill, and you'll know who. Better warn that person, before it's too late!" The professor whispered at the end of the speech.
My eyes opened wide and I got my stuff and ran out the room tears in my eyes.
I rushed through the empty corridors, past professor Snape who yelled "Brooke Willows!" Angrily before being too far away.
I ran round a corridor and bumped into Dumbledore.
"Brooke? What's the matter?" Dumbledore said straight away when he saw my face.
"P..Professor Trelawney, she said, the wolf would, k, kill someone." I broke down sobbing on the floor.
Dumbledore sat on the floor and hugged me close. "That will never happen. They are safe from you as you are from them. She predicts something bad for a student each year, they never have come true." Dumbledore told me.
I still sobbed. "I don't want to kill, I don't want to kill." I kept repeating getting more and more hysterical.
I heard running shoes and them suddenly stopping.
"Professor Snape, go get Pomphrey quickly!" Dumbledore said quickly and quietly.
Running shoes again and me and the professor were on our own.
"You won't, Brooke, you won't." Dumbledore said.
The running shoes came again as I was crying.
"A hysterical werewolf, quickly, take her to my ward, Snape, go get that potion you made for her transformations." The nurse ordered and I felt myself being lifted up and rushed to the ward.
I felt the wolf straining to be free but I didn't care, I didn't want to kill anyone.
I was placed on a bed and a couple minutes later Snape came in.
The nurse shoved an cup in my face and forced me to drink it.
Then she changed a cup and forced me to drink that too.
I screamed now, not cried, and not because I was unhappy, but I felt myself transforming. But it wasn't a full moon, or even night.
Dumbledore, Snape and the nurse quickly hurried to a room as I transformed.
I heard myself screaming but I oddly felt no pain instead, I felt tired and when I'd finished transforming I laid down and closed my eyes.
Opening my eyes I found myself looking into Snape's eyes and that is rather disturbing when his head is really close to yours.
With a screech I pushed myself away and fell off the bed on the other side.
"What the hell are you doing?!" I demanded Snape as I got back on the bed.
"I was checking you were yourself, not werewolfy." Snape said.
"Well warn someone next time so they don't wake up and fall off their bed in surprise." I said.
"I shall keep that in mind." Snape noted.
"Wait, I transformed, but it wasn't even a full moon?!" I said suddenly when I remembered why I was in the medical ward.
Snape nodded. "It sometimes happens when a werewolf gets hysterical."
"I didn't hurt anyone did I?" I asked worried.
Snape shook his head. "No."
There was an awkward pause. "Is it really that painful each time you transform?" He asked.
I shook my head. "Its usually more."
"I'd better go. I suppose you'll be alright too. Just don't get hysterical any more." Snape said.
I nodded. "Wait, what's the time?" I asked as I got off the bed.
"You'll be just in time for dinner if you hurry." Snape said.
"Great! I'm starving!" I replied and rushed off to the hall.
I opened the door and walked inside and faltered when everyone stopped and looked at me. Whispers sprung up around me as I made my way to my friends at the front of the Gryffindor table.
Dumbledore was at the middle of the teacher's table and smiled at me as he ate.
I sank thankfully next to Lauren when I got to them and sighed unhappily.
"What happened? Flavier said she saw you being carried by Dumbledore to the medical bay." Faith asked me.
"I got over hysterical and was taken to calm down." I said.
"What was it about?" Lauren asked.
"Professor Trelawnley said there was a werewolf and the wolf would kill someone and I knew who. I got worried too much about my family." I explained.
"I can't imagine the shock that would be for you, being told your gonna be responsible for whoever is going to be killed by the werewolf." Matt said slyly to me.
I raised a eyebrow up at him. "Bet you can't." I said dryly back.
I didn't know if it was my imagination, but I thought that Lauren was slowly shuffling away from me.
"That professor Trelawnly is a nut job I think, I mean, she told me I'd find a mate in this school and we'd be together forever. Mate? I'm no animal!" Seth said.
I grinned. "So it's not just me then." I said in relief.
"Be glad about that." Faith said elbowing Matt. "Imagine your brother kissing a dog!"
"He's done it once, I think he'd not mind doing it again." Matt shrugged smiling.
"I did not!" Seth yelled at Matt.
"Did too"
"Did not!"
Did too!"
"Did not!"
"Alright!" Lauren yelled. "We get it!"
"Whoa! Check out the voice on her!" Milo grinned at Lauren.
Lauren glared at him. "I'm trying to read this book, how the he'll can I though if your arguing really loudly?"
"What book are you reading?" I asked.
"None of your business." Lauren snapped.
Matt whistled. "Someone's on her period."
"I'm not!" Lauren said undignified.
Faith gave her a look.
"If you really wanna know, it's the defence against the dark arts book. I don't know if I'm the only one who's noticed that we've got to write an essay by Monday." Lauren said.
"Chill, it's Friday and we get the weekend to ourselves." I told her.
She sighed and slid the book off the table and put it in her bag. "I won't be able to do this while we're here I suppose."
"Good that you've come to that conclusion." Seth said looking over her shoulder to see the book frowning.
A/N- sup, randomly watching Olympics Athletics on the TV and I heard "especially since You -Know-Who is going to be in the final heat" who could that be?
Anyway,
What's going on with Lauren? What do you think?
