The 19th -- An Unwanted Annual Tradition

[enchantressofore]

Hospital Wing, November 11th and beyond

[ It happened again... She's starting to wonder if she's just doomed to get sick at this time of the year.

Dizzy with fever and an extremely sore throat are the symptoms plaguing her, and on the day before the Quidditch match too! Slytherin vs. Gryffindor, she doesn't want to miss that, but... From what she's heard from Madame Pomfrey, she probably won't be well enough to watch tomorrow. Wonderful.

She sighs, sinking into the bed she's resting in a bit and closing her eyes. She doesn't want to sleep, she wants to cry, of all the rotten luck. She's already been told off for overworking and not resting enough, and at least it waited until the end of classes on Friday to get worse but... Sigh. There are probably some people who're going to miss her in the great hall, and she still had tutoring to do. Ugh...

And she still can't watch the match. That isn't fair. It's not as bad as not being able to play, but still!

Whether it's the evening on the 11th or into the 12th and even the 13th, Adela is still stuck in bed and mostly resting with potions to help things along. But, she won't spend all that time alone, will she? ]

Comments

[xeroxing]

[ Kise is one of those people she was supposed to tutor. When she didn't show up in the great hall for dinner he didn't think too much of it, but when she doesn't show up for tutoring? He goes looking for her.

Only to find out she'd gotten herself stuck in the infirmary. He decides to visit, quietly padding into the room out of respect of anyone else in there. But as he gets to the end of the bed he leans down and places his palms on the metal footrail. ]

Oi oi. What's this, lying on the job Adelacchi?

[ He tisks and unceremoniously plops on the edge of the bed by her feet. ]

[enchantressofore]

I'm only--

[ She stops with a wince, because not only does it hurt to talk but is that how her voice sounds? God, she probably sounds terrible...

Sigh. Flopping back into the bed now. ]

I'm only here 'cause Madame Pomfrey would pitch a fit if I didn't rest here...

[xeroxing]

[ Oh. Oh wow. She sounds awful. Really bad!! Cue him looking kinda sorry for her, because hey. Not a bad guy!

Also because he's considerate he won't say how awful she sounds. You're welcome. ]

How long are you here for?

[enchantressofore]

... At least until Sunday.

[ She's looking away and wincing again. Yeah, he can probably guess what that means... ]

... Rin'll just have to tell me how it ends.

[devilishkaoru]

[Kaoru had been wondering where she had gotten to. He had been meaning to talk to her about something. What that something was is anyone's guess, but when he realised she hadn't been around he had started to wonder around instead, looking at every place he was sure she would or might have gone to. When that failed he found himself at the hospital wing, when he spotted her he smiled and waved.] Hellllllo Adela~! What brings you here?

[enchantressofore]

Oh... Hi, Kaoru.

[ And how weak and raspy her voice sounds likely answers that question for Kaoru, and she still hates it. At least the tea Kise brought is still there... ]

Madame Pomfrey insists that I'm sick...

[devilishkaoru]

Well you look like death, so it makes sense. [That was probably not the best thing to say, but he rubs the beck of his neck slightly.] I mean you look sick, which much suck considering what tomorrow is.

[gullwingsgunner]

[Yuna had to go to the hospital wing, mostly to grab a potion to help with a tiny injury she managed to get during training. It was only minor and nothing that would stop her from playing the next day, but she still knew to deal with it and not make it at all worse.

However it seemed like she wasn't there, which caused the young woman to sigh slightly before looking over to finally notice someone else was here.]

Oh! Hello there. I didn't see you.

[enchantressofore]

... Hi.

[ Well, that's different... She's pretty sure a girl she's never seen before isn't there to visit her at least. Probably looking for Madame Pomfrey... ]

She'll be back in a few minutes, if you want to wait.

[gullwingsgunner]

Well I need to, so I guess I can stick around.

[Plus she wanted to talk to her anyway about the various potions she makes. if she made them obvious and how. She had always been interested after all.]

What are you in for?

[theultimatedecoy]

[Hinata always thought he was a good friend when the time called for it. For once the time really did call for it. So he made his way over to the hospital wing when he had found out, carrying what appeared to be a bag he made his way. When he saw her he smiled slightly.]

Hi there, I would ask how are you, but you look bad.

[enchantressofore]

... At least it's not a Hufflepuff game tomorrow.

[ She probably sounds about as bad as she looks too, and even if it hurts to talk apparently she's still going to be doing it a lot. Adela's still trying to not overdo it though, at least not now. ]

Still wanted to watch...

[theultimatedecoy]

Yeah, I think we'd be screwed if we didn't have our Keeper.

[He knew all members were equal at least and that if one cog wasn't working then the rest could fail and break as well.]

Makes you wish cameras and the like worked here. If they had done recording would have been a breeze.

the 12th

[xeroxing]

[ It's really a shame Kise wasn't the whistling kind of person. It would make pushing the door to the infirmary open all the more conspicuous. All the more obvious of Slytherin's win. Not that the proud square of his shoulders doesn't do that. Not that the air of victory doesn't either. But whatever. The point was, as he strode toward Adela's bed, he made no effort to conceal his ease, because it was likely obvious enough that if Slytherin won he might be the one sulking. Kise plopped onto the edge of the bed and flopped back onto his elbows, half laying all over Adela's feet. ] Wanna hear the outcome of the match?

[enchantressofore]

[ The sound of the door startles her awake -- she'd almost fallen asleep, finally. Still, with Kise walking in as he does, Adela can't help but smile as she sits up in the bed, even if she's starting to feel a chill coming on. ]

You'd be sulking if you lost.

[ Still hurts to talk, but she can manage for Kise for the time being. ]

Was it a close game?

[xeroxing]

[ He likes how Adela knows that and grins accordingly. ]

We were up in points already before Rinicchi caught the snitch. Almost dove head first into something to do it--

[ Excuse him while he takes a little devilish pleasure in this. They both tease him enough about stuff, now he has something to lord over Rin. ]

you might have had a buddy in here!

Sunday 13th

[olympic_shark]

[It's only the day after the game that Rin finally finds the time to visit Adela. Off course he's heard of the misery his friend is in - as per usual, Rin can't even count the times he's had to visit her there, for the past year - but in spite of all his boasting to Jean, not focusing every single minute on the match made him anxious, and after it ended... well, let's say he's been distracted.

And too high on victory for being infirmary-decent.]

Yo~

[He greets as he approaches Adela and sighs at her, when he sees her lying in the bed, looking like a huge ball of misery.]

You need to stop doing this. Seriously... How do you wanna learn for OWLs and win matches, if you spend most of your time lying here?

[Pulling up a chair, he sits backwards on it, legs spreading around the back.]

How are you?

[enchantressofore]

Apparently it was trying to keep up with learning for OWLs and training for matches that caused this in the first place.

[ It doesn't hurt as much to talk anymore at least, and her voice probably sounds better too (not that she can really tell). She shifts to sit up then, wearing a weary smile for him as she makes herself comfortable again. ]

I heard from Kise that you guys won yesterday, and that you were pretty reckless trying to catch the snitch.

[olympic_shark]

You need to pace yourself, stupid. It's no good if you go beyond your limit and get sick.

[Rin grumbles, as he looks away. He knows another such idiot, that sacrifices his own health for results and then ends up out of commission. Honestly, what's up with people? But then she comments on him being just as reckless and he flinches. News travel fast, huh?]

I wasn't reckless. I'm a seeker. A lot of seeker maneuvers are reckless, which is why we practice hard until we master them.

[One of these days, he'll do the Wronski feint and amaze people with his skill. Once he's sure it won't land him a broken nose.]

11th

[backtobasics]

[Thanks to all the stress and anxiety making him skip meals, Shiraishi had actually collapsed on one of the classes and needed to take a rest in the hospital wing. So Adela had company at least.]

... at least it's not our match tomorrow, huh?

[When Adela gets there, he's still there since Pomfrey wanted to keep him in check for at least the night.]

[enchantressofore]

You could say that again.

[ She sighs, managing a weak smile and for him as she looks Shiraishi over. ]

You going to watch it tomorrow?

[backtobasics]

If I'm allowed to leave by then, yeah. I'll want to see how well the other teams play.

[Even if the first match is against Ravenclaw, they're still their future opponents.]

[devilishhikaru]

[Everyone else might have gone to watch the match, but Hikaru opted out to keeping company for Adela instead. He knows how much it sucks to miss something and be by yourself. Besides, Quidditch isn't really his cup of tea.]

Hey.

[enchantressofore]

Hi.

[ She'd been wondering wondering when Hikaru would come to see her -- Kaoru must have told him where she is. Her expression softens a little, and she shifts to sit up so she can talk to Hikaru while he's there -- even if it hurts a bit to do so. ]

I guess I overdid it...

[devilishhikaru]

You overdo it every year, it feels like... I think you should be learning by now.
