Hogwarts: Next Generation

"Pomfrey, I'm guessing." Shadow said darkly.

"Ooooh." Holly said, and she sat next to her, "So hi."

"Yes...just for a tiny minute..." said Natalie, frowning slightly.

Shadow nodded quietly.

Holly nodded loudly, all her bones making horrible sounds.

SHadow put one hand over the ear closest to Holly.
"Shut up, even your body can't do that!"

"How rude." Holly remarked, but she was grinning, "I'm glad you're not dead by the way."

Shadow smiled slightly.
"Thanks."

Natalie was back again.
"Madam Pomfrey today me to tell you that if you feel any worse to go up to her, ok Shad?" she Natalie quietly.

"Do I have to?" Shadow asked.

"Yes." Holly said nodding.

Shadow swore under her breath.

"Sorry..." said Natalie appologetically, "I'm so sorry...I shouldn't have even gone up, I'm just really worried about you...please don't hate me..."

"No, you're right." Shadow sighed. "I just don't like healers poking around thing thay don't know."

"I don't like healers full stop." Holly commented.

Hayley and Winter appeared with a soft pop; both had one hand on their hip, and looked frightingly similar. "I got to the toiet for one sec, and a battle has gone on," Winter said, then noticed Shadow, "Oh, are you alright?" she asked, gently.
Hayley grinned slightly, noticing her old friends, and looked at Shadow, concerned.
"Wow," she said, "What happened?"

"What does it look like happened now Hayley?" Holly asked seriously, "Here we are, after a BATTLE, Shadow is WOUNDED .... use your brain babe."
She waited, looking at her watch.
Ashton counted down.
From seventy five.

"I'm fine Hayley." Shadow assured her friend. "It's just one of Raven's dirtier tricks."

"Indeed," nodded Natalie.

Shadow attempted to smile reassuringly, but it turned out more of a grimace so she wiped the look off her face.

Holly watched Shadow interestedly, because she liked to do that.

Hayley scowled. "Hmm..." she said, "As long as you're okay I guess. So...might I ask what this battle was about?" she asked, her one eyebrow raised.
"Hi Ash," Winter added, turning a a bright shade of red.

Tomorrow looked at Winter with a strange look on her face.

"Fighting for guardianship of Twilight." Shadow said.

Ash winked at Winter.
