The rest of Lauren's week turned out to be horrible, as was that Saturday. Seriously: everything she did made her struggle terribly.
Her lessons were depressing, she had to force herself to use her left hand to write.
Not to mention the hellish hours of Potions or Defense Against the Dark Arts. Even Normani refused to be her workmate for fear of endangering her life.
That Tuesday morning Zayn went so far as to steal Camila from the Gryffindor table to sit next to Lauren, hoping to be able to cheer her up a little.
Which, initially, was working, but then a clumsy first-year student accidentally bumped into her injured shoulder, causing her to spill milk all over the table.
Camila at that point did not help much and no one could stop the avalanche of insults that the poor boy took.
So when she called her father on Wednesday to tell her that he had managed to get an appointment with the St. Mungos for the following Monday, the Slytherin flashed her biggest smile in a long time.
Normani was lying on the sofa in the common room while Camila was leaning on her backside and was teasing her relentlessly, when Lauren appeared in the room.
She stopped halfway up the stairs, looking amused at the two girls.
"Do you want to get out of the way?" Normani complained, concentrating on the game plan book as she tried to push the Gryffindor away slightly.
"No." grinned the little girl, playing with her hair
"You're comfortable."
"The sofa is too." Camila ignored her, gloating happily
"So Manibear, how good are you as a flight trainer?"
"I won't give you flying lessons, forget it!" said the impassive girl
"Lauren told me about your awkwardness ..." The little girl opened her mouth wide
"I'm not that clumsy!" She snorted
"And Lauren hasn't seen me fly yet!" At that point the older girl bursts into the room
"Forgive me if I don't want to be the cause of my girlfriend's death." Normani raised an eyebrow at the sight of her friend.
"Is that a smile I see?" She said dramatically
"It can't be!"
Camila brightened at the sight of Lauren and sat up
"Did you get an appointment?"
"Uh huh." the older one nodded, sitting down in an armchair
"For Monday."
"Thank God!" Normani exulted
"I think I would not have been able to last another week with you in these conditions."
"It wasn't that bad ..." Camila scolded her, getting a dirty look from the Slytherin
"Nuh uh, I don't care how much you may be in love with her. Your girlfriend has been acting like an insufferable two-year-old all week, you can't deny that." Lauren rolled her eyes
"It's not true."
"In any case." Normani snorted pushing slightly the smallest of her and waiting for her to rise again from her
"Can you go and annoy Lauren now? I'm not going to spend the rest of my life like this." Camila grinned
"Like? But if you love me ..."
