Blue Eyed Girl

Roxanne awoke with a start, realizing she had fallen asleep on the couch while she was studying. The rising sun shone through one of the giant windows in the common room. She figured it must have been around six o'clock. She sat up, gathered her books, put them in her bag, and stood up to stretch. As soon as she stood, a sharp pain sliced through her stomach. She doubled over, but the pain intensified. She soon found that she was wheezing and couldn't breathe. She was in so much agony she could barely see straight. She couldn't figure out the cause of this sudden episode. She collapsed onto the couch, hoping it would ease the excruciating pain. It only made the pain worse, so she struggled to get back to her feet. She decided she had to get to the hospital wing, and fast. She crawled out of the portrait whole and stumbled down the corridor, stopping every few feet to catch her breath, which was made difficult by her wheezing. At one point she stumbled and fell to the cold stone floor just as someone rounded the corner a few feet in front of her.

"What are you doing on the fl-" the unknown person started to say coolly when, whoever it was saw her gasping on the ground. "Whoa, are you okay?" He walked swiftly to where she was, on her hands and knees, and stood in front of her, staring down at her.

"I need- need to get...to the hospital wing," she managed to get out while grimacing in pain as she tried to stand. After a few attempts she gave up and collapsed again onto the cold floor.

"Oh, come here, lemme help you," the stranger surrendered, annoyed, as he grabbed her arm to help her up. Roxanne got to her feet, but as soon as they started walking, another burst of pain shot through her stomach. She doubled over again, and she cried out in pain.

"C'mere," the stranger said, and he picked her up in a cradled position and walked as quickly as he could. Roxanne wrapped her arms around his neck to steady herself. The last thing she needed was to fall and smash her head on the floor. Though she doubted that would cause as much pain as she is feeling now. The pain was so intense she was slowly blacking out.

They finally burst through the door of the hospital wing. "Madam Pomfrey!" The boy called out, swiftly walking into the room. Madam Pomfrey walked out of her office and was about to scold the boy for being so loud when she had patients who were trying to sleep. "What's the mat- oh dear!" she said as she saw Roxanne and rushed over to them. "Follow me!" she exclaimed. She led them to a bed at the other end of the room where the boy placed Roxanne. Blackness was slowly closing in on her. Madam Pomfrey's voice grew farther and farther away as she questioned her about her condition. The last thing she remembered before blacking out was Madam Pomfrey's voice saying, "Where did you find her, Mr. Malfoy?"
