Private message to Susan Bones and Megan Jones

[alt_hannah]

Sue and Megan, after you left for breakfast, I found Eloise crying in the loo. She'd tried a potion for her spots, but she must have done the formula wrong somehow, and oh, her face is such a mess! It's sloughed her skin off entirely in polka dots and it's oozing this icky purple--well, take my word for it. It's awful. She's crying so hard but she's afraid to be seen, and it's going to take awhile to calm her down and get her to the hospital wing.

Megan, could you please put wrap some toast and maybe some sausage in a napkin and sneak it into your bookbag for me and bring it to me before Divination?

We'll all have to be especially nice to her tonight.

I could just hex whoever did those lists.

Oh, no!

If she really doesn't want to be seen, you might try that narrow corridor by the statue of Ethelberga the Fierce; it's a roundabout way and hardly anyone uses it, but you'll end up near the hospital wing.

I hope Madame Pomfrey can help her out--if nothing else a day in the hospital wing away from everyone might be good.

Yes, I thought of that, so we only passed a couple of people. And she kept her face turned toward me and held up a folder and we hurried, so maybe nobody saw.

Madam Pomfrey clucked a lot, but she was as nice as always. I think you're right, and it'll do her some good to have a day away from people.

And I can understand wanting to hex someone--I was more than tempted to ask Bundy to keep her ears open, because if Brown and the Gryffindor Patil were involved at all, I can't believe that they'd be able to keep from giggling about it forever.

But I wouldn't want to put her in a bad spot, and I'd feel a bit, I dunno, fake-ish, since I did just tell Ed to stop threatening to hex people over it.

That was more not wanting him to get caught though, and also, well, people think it's bit naff if your younger siblings have to defend you.
