The Infirmary - Amnesia

[Draco Malfoy]

(OOC: Continued off the thread 'Experimental Research.')

Draco stumbled through the door of the infirmary, his headache progressively getting worse with each slow second that ticked by. The more he tried to remember what had happened to him, the more severe the pain would get, and the less he could remember.

Rubbing his eyes, touching his cold, clammy sin, Draco saw the images in front of him blur, he gasped, trying to find a bed as quick as he could. His vision thinned and soon all he could see was black.

/What in Merlin's name happened to me!/ He thought, feeling a pillow hit his head and a worried voice echo in his ears. He could faintly remember a vast room with hundreds and hundreds of potions in the back of his mind, before he slipped into unconsciousness.

[Carrie McEwan]

Carrie wandered towards the Infirmary, clutching her right hand and wincing slightly. She had had a slight accident in herbology - a particularly annoying slytherin in her class had managed to "accidently" squirt the discharge of a highly poisonous plant all over her hand. After swearing rather loudly at the boy for a number of minutes, she was sent straight to the infirmary by a vexed Herbology teacher who announced that "if she ever heard such language again, she wouldn't think twice about squirting her with a poisonous plant herself".

Stupid Slytherin. Stupid plant. Stupid. was all that was running round and round in her head as she entered the Infirmary. Looking up from her hand, she realised she was not alone - Oh great. That's all I need. Another Slytherin. Carrie was not for the Gryffindor/Slytherin rivalry, but a bloody sore hand was enough to make her moody.

She was soon to forget these thoughts though, as she noticed the boy seemed slightly dazed. She furrowed her eyebrows slightly, and was just about to ask him if he was alright, when he collapsed onto the nearest bed. Carrie's eyes widened as she rushed over to him. 'Are you alright?!' She frantically asked as his eyes slowly fluttered open again. 'Do you want me to get the Healer??' She mumbled in a worried rush of words.

[Helia Ollivander]

She crept into the infirmary, deciding to see just how bad Draco was doing. 'Oh, if anyone finds out about this I'm so gonna get expelled...' she thought nervously. She saw a Gryffindor girl in the infirmary already with, what looked like, acid boils all over her hand. She saw Draco on a bed just past her. 'Oh crap he's dead! I killed a person! I'm such an IDIOT!' she tried to calm herself down as she spoke, "Um, Hi? I'm Helia, I don't think we've had the pleasure of meeting yet." she said to the Gryffindor, though she didn't hold out her hand, worried that she might end up hurting the girl. "I think I know where some salve is in here if you'd like? It'll help cool the burn of whatever touched your hand," and it was true... she knew her way around the infirmary. She herself had been in and out of it since her second year at Hogwarts. Her eyes kept drifting over to where Malfoy was though, 'Oh good, he's still breathing...' she thought with a sigh of relief as she saw his chest rising and dropping, a bit unsteadily, but all the same he was alive.

[Carrie McEwan]

Carrie was slightly startled at the arrival of another person and was just about to say "I didn't do it" about the Slytherin boy when the new arrival spoke to her first.

'-I'm Carrie..' she replied with a small smile. 'I would shake hands but, well, you know..' She held up her hand and gave a weak laugh. Carrie looked Helia up and down No obvious injury she thought to herself with a curious expression.

'Salve would be fantastic by the way.' she said with almost pleading eyes. Helia grinned and disappeared for a moment or two, letting Carrie look again at the Slytherin boy in concern. What is the matter with him. she thought. I've never seen someone act this way. Before she could think anymore of it, Helia returned with a flesh tub of salve. 'Thanks!' Carrie gave a sigh of relief, and sat down in the nearest chair carefully applying the contents of the tub onto her hand.

She looked up in between the application, and noticed Helia standing over the Slytherin boy looking.. scared? 'I take it you are not in here for your own injury then-' Carrie started. 'Do you know what happened to him? It looks real bad.' She said looking half curious/half worried, not before wincing slightly due to her hand.

[Helia Ollivander]

She cleared her throat awkwardly, "A very good friend of mine performed a memory obliviation spell on him... stupid girl." she muttered the last two words silently. "Anyways, I think... I think she may have obliviated more than just his memory from the looks of it..." she felt tears stinging her eyes as she said quietly, "And all to save your own hide..."

She quickly blinked back the tears and tried to calm her expression, "Anyways, I thought since she felt too guilty to come and check on him, I'd come to give my condolences for her." she shrugged and sat down beside Draco's bed. "How did you hurt your hand though?" she asked, trying to change the subject.

[Draco Malfoy]

Draco groaned as a murmer of voices reached his ears. His eyes slowly fluttered open, but as soon as the bright light of the room hit them he closed them again, letting out a small whine. His head still hurt beyond any pain he had ever indured and he brushed his hand against his temple, his closed eyes squinting.

He heard a frantic voice call out that he had moved and heard a flurry of footsteps beside his bed. Groaning once more, he opened his eyes and saw two blurry faces looking down at him.

Feeling very warm and clammy, he sneered. "Can't you two help take these covers off instead of standing there like a bunch of useless logs!" He said, his strained voice sounding confused and slightly afraid.

[Jerred Boneman]

"Oh shut up Malfoy and lie down!" Jerred said entering the room after the incident.

[Helia Ollivander]

She looked up, 'Jerred, please don't make a scene...' she thought over and over. She looked at Malfoy, "The covers aren't on, remember, you passed out on the bed." she looked at him, starting to feel very scared. 'Oh, what've I done?' she bit her bottom lip before making her way to the storage cupboard, "Let's see where's the... Pepperup Potion!" she grabbed a small vial filled with a clear red liquid. "Drink this," she said handing the bottle to Malfoy. When the conents of the bottle were gone, and she could tell that his fever was going down she sighed with relief.

[Draco Malfoy]

Draco sighed, feeling the heat quickly evaporating off his skin leaving his body tingling, though feeling slightly better. His head, however, only seemed to get worse, the dull thudding turning into a rapid pounding.

Moaning, he turned over, burrying his head into his pillows. "Can someone please," he paused disdainfully, tasting the word in his mouth, "Tell me what the hell is going on here!?" He cried, his body tensing, his own voice echoing in his ear drums.

[Jerred Boneman]

"Easy Malfoy, you slipped and hit your head." Jerred said. "You're in the Infirmary being tended to by us."

[Draco Malfoy]

Draco scoffed, turning back over, his eyes still squeezed shut while the slight traces of light through his eyelids made his head spin. "Do you take me for a fool? As if the likes of you would be tending to me. Not only that, but my head doesn't feel as though it's bruising, the pain is internal."

He felt himself beginning to sweat once more and bit his lip, taking a deep breath. "Also, I didn't wake up on the floor, I was standing- just slightly dazed and confused. So if you're going to lie to me, Bonehead, you better do a better job of it," He sneered suspiciously.

[Prof Octavious Everritt]

Prof Addis walked into the room, and stared down all the students. He saw Malfoy and glared at him.

"Mr Malfoy." He said as he aporoached the bed. He saw Jerred and Helia, standing there itching for something to happen. "You know it would be safest for now to keep your mouth shut, especially when you're the patient and I'm the healer." He took out his wand and placed it on the top of Malfoy. His wands tip immediately began to glow yellow as it sent of beams of yellowish light. "Now hold still."

(ooc: The spell is an unnamed healing spell that devised. It heals you, obviously so just pretend you're being healed.

[Draco Malfoy]

(OOC: lol. Handy spell...)

Draco's eyes widened when he heard the tone the Professor used with an ill student. Feeling the spell travel through his limbs, his fever slowly reduced until it was finally just a sheen of sweat on his body.

However, the spell did nothing to help his headache, as it did not restore his memory. Every time his mind thought back to the moments before he found himself in the corridor, a white blinding light would catch him off guard, sending him into a painful oblivion.

Feeling his headache grow as he thought back to those few painful moments before he reached the Infirmary, Draco let his head fall onto his pillows with a soft thud. His head began to pound once more and he groaned, not wanting to experience any more of the pain.

Just as the pain got to unbearable heights, he fell unconscious once more. However, the last image he saw was a Ravenclaw hurriedly passing a familiar hallway.

So familiar, in fact, that Draco recognized it to be the hallway he found himself in before this very accident. The Ravenclaw, he noted, was also quite familiar as well.

[Prof Octavious Everritt]

"Good, he's asleep now." Leigh said, pulling his wand away. "Now, can you please inform me how this all happened?" He stared at Jerred and Helia.

[Carrie McEwan]

Carrie looked to student to student to teacher. What is going on here? she thought. Helia had said that this "Malfoy" boy had suffered the memory charm.. then another slytherin comes along saying he just hit his head.. whilst Malfoy himself seems completely disoriented.

Was it the other slytherin who performed the memory charm? I mean.. afterall he was covering it up. But, no, wait- Helia said "stupid girl". Carrie had all these confusing facts spinning round and round in her mind, as she again looked at the people interacting around her. Malfoy continued to be quite cold with everyone, as if he didn't get along with the other slytherin nor Helia. Helia. Carrie suddenly thought. Thats a point. Why is she here? It was her friend who performed it, so why is she here. She looked at Helia in a new light and considered the situation once more. I'm sure she was just worried. She tried to convince herself, knowing that was not the full truth.

Suddenly Malfoy fell back once more onto the bed and became unconscious. Carrie had momentarily forget what she had been thinking.. as she slipped out of the Infirmary not wanting to get involved.
