Judgement Day (Hogwarts Mystery Year 7 Retell)

Chapter 45: The Doxy Cometh.

"Enthusiasm is the best protection in any situation. Wholeheartedness is contagious. Give yourself, if you wish to get others." -David Seabury.

And that was how Ethan found himself dragging Corey Hayden to the Hospital Wing. It wasn't that far of a walk.

"Madam Pomfrey!" Ethan shouted. 

"Yes, Mr. Bauer? If you're cut again..." Pomfrey started.

"No. It's Corey. She got bit by a Doxy." Ethan answered.

"The Infestation is growing! I'm going to turn into a Zombie!" Corey yelled out in horror." 

"Please calm down, Hayden." Pomfrey replied slightly annoyed. "Just sit on the bed and take it easy." She instructed. 

Corey sat down. "She'll be on the mends in no time. But she needs rest." Pomfrey explained to Ethan. "It's not becoming uncommon for a Doxy Bite these days."

"What do you mean by that?" Ethan asked. He turned to see some of his friends also on the other Hospital Beds. And Chiara also there mending them.

"They got bit too?" Ethan asked.

"Afraid so." Pomfrey answered. 

"Well, no matter. We should get going." Corey insisted.

"Not going to happen, Corey. You need to rest." Ethan shot down. 

"He's right. You'll make that injury worse." Pomfrey added.

"But-" Corey started to say.

"No buts, Young Lady." Pomfrey interrupted. 

"And are all of these students being treated for Doxy Bites?" Ethan asked.

"Sad but true." Pomfrey answered. "We've had so many Doxy Bites, that I've had to enlist help. And not just from Ms. Lobosca."

To prover her point. Pomfrey pointed to the other beds, to see Penny, and Beatrice, as well as Cedric Diggory providing aid to the other students. Including Andre who was suffering from a Doxy Bite. Even Victor was providing aid. 

"Hey Victor! You want to come over here?" Corey asked. She sighed. "He's so charismatic." 

"Yeah, he's a real dream." Ethan rolled his eyes.

"He also carried a student in here like it was a carton of Milk." Pomfrey noted.

That didn't surprise Ethan. Vampires were known for having super strength. But back to the matter at hand. "I've never seen an infestation of Doxy like this before." He said.

"They're usually isn't one of this magnitude. But this infestation is swift, precise. I've never seen Doxy coordinate like this before." Pomfrey replied.

"Slayton." Ethan growled. "He's responsible for this." 

"Perhaps." Pomfrey admitted. "But, still. We need to treat these students. Can you lend us a hand?" She asked.

Ethan nodded. "Least I can do." He went over to Andre. "Hey, Andre. How you feeling?" 

"Better now, I think. Not my first Doxy Bite. Still hurts like hell, though." Andre answered.
