Chapter 25 Flipping Hospital Wings

The old healer came out and saw the metamorphmangus in a ball of pain.

"Merlin!" She shouted. "Mr. Malfoy can you help me out here?!" She called. Arthur walked out slowly until he saw Kelsey on the ground in pain. "Can you pick her up and put her on the bed? I need to go prepare some materials. Miss Saclici, get Dumbledore!" The two students ran to do their jobs. Scooping Kelsey up carefully, Arthur carried her into the hospital wing and laid her on the bed. He winced rubbing his stomach area where he had been hit by a plant in Herbology.

Kelsey was breathing slowly as she felt her body relax and the pain slip away while she was carried. As she was placed on the bed, she felt the pain start returning. Not thinking straight, she grabbed Arthur's hand. "Don't go. Please." She mumbled the pain fading away as soon as she touched his hand. He looked surprised and sat down, hand still in hers. The two of them sat there waiting. Kelsey eventually fell asleep, while Madam Pomfrey was running around like a headless chicken.

"Mister Malfoy. Interesting seeing you here." Arthur looked behind him to see Dumbledore smiling, per usual. "Funny, the last time I was here with you two, your roles were reversed and Miss Hamilton was convincing Mr. Grundy that they were in purgatory and that she had accidentally killed me with bookshelves."

"What?" Arthur asked. Dumbledore chuckled.

"Ask her when she wakes up. So how's the evigilare going?" Dumbledore asked casually.

"How did you-never mind, there are few things that you don't know. According to my mother, that is." Arthur sighed. "Haven't found them. And it only happens once every full moon. So I have to wait till next month."

Dumbledore's eyes twinkled knowingly. "Shouldn't take too long. Arthur, you do know that there are few people who would be happy to help you make a potion with similar affect as the evigilare."

"Who would do that for me?" Arthur scoffed.

Dumbledore looked at the bed. "Someone who is already making one." Arthur followed his gaze. Frowning he went to ask Professor Dumbledore what he meant, only to find air.

"Kelsey. Kelseeeeey. Hamilton wake uuuuuuup." Arthur booped her nose, smirking at her vulnerable and innocent looking face. He booped her nose again. "Boop."

"Arthur, please stop booping my nose." She mumbled sleepily, eyes cracking open just a bit. "I actually slept. So now I'm sleepy." She patted his head. "You should go to sleep." She mumbled, eyes closing again. Arthur went to wake her up again but realized just how tired he was and nodded. He went to go over to another bed, but Kelsey wouldn't let go of his hand.

"Hamilton, you've gotta let go of my hand." He whispered. Madam Pomfrey had taken to tending a younger Gryffindor who had injured himself in flight class, but he was all the way down at the other end.

"Just come up here then." She said scooting over and giving him room. Arthur blushed a deep shade of red that would rival any Weasly's hair.

"That's not..I can't... Oh Merlin." Arthur stammered, flustered. Kelsey just pulled him onto the bed while he was distracted. His blush darkened and he found himself laying down facing a nearly sleeping girl, who he had met the day before.

"Relax, Malfoy. Just go to sleep." Kelsey chuckled, eyes cracked open. The two looked at each other and slowly fell asleep.

Madam Pomfrey wiped her hands on her dress. "Alrighty Mr. Longbottom. You should be fine in a day. You'll have to stay over night." She tutted. Hamilton!

She hurried over to where Mister Malfoy had put Miss Hamilton down at. The healer recalled just how many times the girl had been in here, just in first year. And this year wasn't starting out any better. "Alright so what se-" She stopped herself, flustered by the sight of the two sleeping in the same bed, and cuddling. "Oh Merlin."
