 "Wake up! Giselle, wake up!" her body was being shaken as Alice yelled. 

She opened her eyes to Alice who was kneeling next to her body, a frightful expression on her face. Sylvia was on her left hand side looking down at her with concern. They both exhaled with relief when Giselle sat up her right side was throbbing.

"What happened?" she asked rubbing the pained part of her body.

"You fell on the floor screaming and crying for someone." Sylvia explained.

"Did I say who?" Giselle asked putting a hand on her forehead which was feeling hot. Her two friends shook their heads.

"You two go back to bed then." she said and stood up wobbling a bit from her dizziness.

"I think we should go see Madame Maxime." Alice said steadying her.

"Nonsense." Giselle breathed waving her off weakly. "I'm fine there'll be no need for that." with that she felt something rising up fast from the pit of her stomach. She tried to swallow the sour, burning fluid down, but she failed. Sylvia and Alice backed away as Giselle emptied her stomach. When she finished her business her knees went weak and buckled.

"Sylvia! Go get Madam Maxime!" Sylvia then ran off screaming for Madam Maxime in French.

The next thing Giselle knew she was in the Hospital Wing. The sun from the large windows seeped into the room illuminating all the white and potentially blinding Giselle as she opened her eyes. She snapped her head around immediately regretting it. Her body felt limp and weak and her brain was incredibly fatigued and dizzy.

"Oh! You're awake!" said Madam Pomphrey. "I'll go alert your Headmistress. You stay put, you hear me?" then the stern healer scurried off leaving her in the empty room.

More cautious this time, she inspected her surroundings. Nobody seemed to be in there with her and by the looks of it the sun was high in the air. A wave of panic spread over her. How long had she been out? What had happened? What day was it? All these questions were bouncing around making her even more tired and dizzy.

After a span of under five minutes Madam Pomphrey had managed to locate Madame Maxime and Professor Dumbledore. She immediately sat up only after having Dumbledore wave her off.

"Calm down, Ms. Davison." he said calmly. "Your rest is crucial for your recovery."

"How are you doing?" Madam Maxime asked her a look of concern upon her face.

"Not that good actually." she muttered sort of tripping over her words. Both professors nodded and then they went to talk with Madam Pomphrey soon leaving after that.

A few hours later it was probably four o'clock meaning that the students were out of class. Just as the sun was starting to set over the horizon the front doors of the Hospital Wing opened and four people poked their head in.

"Are you sure it's a good idea to just walk in here?" Sylvia asked with a hint of worry in her voice.

"Don't be such a wuss, Sylvia." Fred said, jokingly of course.

"We should be quiet." said George. "We might wake Giselle up." she smiled at his thoughtfulness.

"Didn't you hear Dumbledore and Maxime?" Alice questioned. "You were the ones that told us in the first place. Why would she be asleep?"

"Maybe she's taking a nap?" George reasoned trying to support his saying.

"Don't be stupid! Giselle never takes naps." Giselle giggled quietly.

"Well it's pretty stupid of you guys to be standing in the doorway so long! You could've gotten caught by now." they all laughed, walking over to her sick bed.

They started talking avidly about the things that have been going on in school and other things. Madam Pomphrey had come in but had let the four visit Giselle after giving them a lecture about breaking and entering and privacy making Giselle want to burst out laughing as they got scolded. After about two hours it was six o'clock and they still had not washed up for dinner.

"I think you guys should go down to the Great Hall now." Giselle said after looking out the window to see that the sky had turned the darkest blue.

Everyone had agreed and they said their goodbyes since she wasn't feeling well enough to go downstairs.

"I think we'll go ahead then." Alice said grabbing Sylvia's wrist. "See you guys in the Great Hall then!" after a lot of quiet protesting the two had left the Hospital Wing.

Giselle furrowed her eyebrows at the strange change of character. Why would Alice want to leave so hastily? Especially when she was with her boyfriend.

Fred chuckled at my two friends. "Those two girls are hilarious. I think we'll be heading off too. Feel better Jelly!" he gave her a hug and then headed out.

Finally George turned to Giselle who was sitting comfortably on her bed looking at the door and smiling. She had great friends that's for sure.

"Are you sure you're going to be okay here?" she nodded with confidence.

"Yeah. They bring my food up and everything."

"I meant company wise. There isn't anybody here to talk to." he looked at her carefully.

"I'll be okay." she said gently then slapping his back. "Go eat man!" she laughed and so did he. Then he left her and to be honest she did feel a little lonely without anybody there with her.
