SORRY FOR PARTY ROCKIN

[Finnegan Darby]

Hipster faggot Finnegan Darby dashed into the hospital clinic place, looking suitably distressed. Poor Hikupu his fellow Hufflepuff had been hexed, he knew not what or whom by, and he couldn't help her. This meant they had to go to the next level -- people who actually knew how to use magic.

Poopy the book-turned-crup was held under one of the Hufflepuff's arms, dangling limply and allowing himself to be carried like was still just a boring and never used bound bundle of paper. The little crup had no opinion on the recent events, or really on anything in general, but he wagged his double-tipped tail all the same. Finny's other hand was fixed onto Higumi's arm, and he dragged her behind him without any regard to her hexed state.

"Helloooooooo?" Finny stopped his dashing and slid to a stop, adjusting his thick-rimmed (and completely unnecessary) glasses. "Anyone here that can, like, fix my friend? She's totally dying and shit!"

ooc: omg open to anyone who wants to help awwww yeeeeeee

[Amuro Hakumi]

Amuro Hakumi followed Finny in, though she really couldn't have helped it even if she hadn't wanted to. He was stronger than her, and besides, it could be seen as impolite if she turned down his demands of curing her. She still wasn't sure what it was that she was hexed with, and she wasn't sure who would do such a thing considering she was pretty sure she didn't have any enemies unless -- could it be someone from Ravenclaw house? She knew that there was some sort of weird, violent rivalry between that house and her own, and Ravenclaws were definitely way more capable of doing some elaborate hex like this without her noticing than any other house was. It was odd, she had no idea why Ravenclaw seemed to dislike Hufflepuff so; everyone in her house was a happy little egg! Sure, they liked pets and bugs a little more than the average student, but that was no reason to hate.

Ah, well. As Mr. Darby here always said, 'HATERS GUNNA HAAAAAATE!!!!!'.

She cleared her throat as Finny announced their entrance, her sentence like an afterthought in the aftermath of Finny's afterdemand. "I am terribly sorry for any trouble I am causing!"

[Professor O'Conner]

Ashelle had been up to check on the state of the potions closet in the Hospital Wing earlier that week - once she was sure that rude Nurse was no longer around. Once she had expressed her frustrations to Aunt Ashlee, the rant concluding with the words 'Who ever heard of a male nurse anyway!' which had made Aunt Ashlee laugh out loud. Apparently male nurses were pretty much an accepted thing, in fact even the Muggle world had them.

Anyway the state of the potions closet had been - quiet a bit less than stellar. Most everything had gone bad. This was Ashelle's fourth trip up here with fresh potions. As she was putting the potions away -all clearly labeled and in ABC order so whoever was nurse could find them easily- she heard the sounds of someone come in and yell that their friend was dying. The dying individual then also called out - apologizing for the transgression of dying apparently.

Ashelle raised her eyebrow, and glanced at the Nurses Apron hanging on the back of the door. Every time she'd donned the apron something ranging from weird to awful had occurred. Still the younger students -judging from their voices and exaggerations (a student who is dying would not be able to apologies for dying after all, right?)- needed help and she seemed to be the only adult in attendance.

Ignoring the apron, she opened the door to the back room and stepped out into the main part of the wing. The beds were all neatly made with fresh linens -she's requested help from the Trithears House Elf brigade for this part seeing as it was impossible to know whether Talons Dwarven army were still in residence- and were ready for any emergencies Firefox might see.

"Hello, I am Professor O'Conner," she said to the students before her, "Why don't you come over to the desk here, have a seat, and tell me what the problem is." She then congered two Chinz armchars, the likes of which had not been seen since Aunt Ashlee's Grandfather died - according to the rest of the O'Conners.

[Finnegan Darby]

Some chick appeared out of nowhere (i.e., the back room) and Finny checked her out as unsubtly as possible. Damn, what red hair! Finny had a thing for redheaded chicks. Also chicks with brown hair. And black. And yellow. And rainbow, goddamn that Layne Larkin was a super hottie.

But, oh yeah, his fellow Hufflepuff was dying.

Still dragging Hookoo and Poopy along with him, he firmly sat the HEX-STRICKEN former into one of the chairs, and then put the twin-tailed latter in the other. Then he stopped, looked at Poopy, shook his head, and displaced the book-crup with himself. Poopy could sit on his lap -- no, wait, Hikikik could hold him. He put Poopy on her, and the transfigured book sat patiently, still wagging his tail in a parody of what a normal pup might do.

He started to tell this O'Conner chickie just exactly what was wrong, but then he remembered manners. He turned to Hikupu instead. "Tell her what's wrong," he urged the soft-spoken girl. "So she can fix you! So you don't die!"

[Amuro Hakumi]

A lady came out of the back room, one that looked nice. She didn't seem to be the nurse -- after all, didn't the nurses all have aprons? -- but she was an adult in the school, so... Didn't that mean she was a trusted person? There was no way a bad person could get into the school by like, just walking in. Besides, what would a bad person be doing hanging out in the hospital wing?

Hakumi felt butterflies -- or was it nausea?! -- as Finny brought her over to the desk and sat her down. He and Poopy played musical chairs before finally she ended up with Poopy on her lap. He turned to her and spoke, or rather, exclaimed.

So she didn't die?!

Oh, no.

Hakumi felt tears welling up in her eyes as she looked up at the person she didn't know was the Charms professor. A sob shook her body slowly at first, and tears began to stream quietly down her face.

"I-I," She started, her usual calm and steady voice wobbly and unsure. "I d-don't want to diiiie!" Her face fell into her hands and she cried into them, sniffly and sobbing all the while.

[Professor O'Conner]

Ashelle Came around the desk and knelt before the crying Hufflepuff girl.

"Please don't cry, I am the Professor of Charms here at Firefox, if anyone can help I can." She smiled reassuringly at her. Not to mention all the time she'd run the Hospital Wing by herself, before that rude, fake, french son-of-a-cow had shown up.

"You it seems to me you might have been hexed, that doesn't necessarily mean you are going to die. If you can tell me the words the person used to hex you, I can, most likely, reverse it."

She turned to the boisterous young man for a moment.
"If you can remember what the person who cast the spell said, that would be helpful as well." Seeing as sometimes once a body starts crying it's hard to stop them. Ashelle added to herself.

[Finnegan Darby]

He patted Hegimi gently, shaking his head so that blond hair floated about his face like a stupid buttery cloud. "Oh, Hikupu," he told her, like he was going to say something important, something life-changing. Being Finny, though, he left it at that. Poopy pawed softly at the girl's hand. She seemed like the type that might actually read his kind, and so he liked her. He didn't want her to die!

The lady assured them she was a Professor of some sort. Charms, huh? Finny had messed around with Charms a few times before. That was the one where you changed something into something else, right? Like Poopy being a book and now a puppy? Sure.

Miss Redhead turned to him, and Finny blinked. He hadn't been paying attention, but he caught the last part well enough. "Oh." Uh. "I wasn't there for that." He nodded, attempting to look serious. "I just walked up and she was all like LOUD and, like, if you knew Hikupu you'd know how weird that is. She's HELLA quiet all the time. Sooooo..." He waved his hand and almost clocked Hegimiimimi in the face with it. "Totes hexed."

[Amuro Hakumi]

Though Hakumi's crying drowned out a lot of what both of them said, she took some comfort in Poopy all over her hands. It was nice, something small and cuddly comforting you. Her spider, which was perched happily on her left ear, was not as cuddly. She loved all the same, but, you know, the little hairs on his body didn't quite compare to a fur coat. Still, he'd been there for her all this time... There was something in that, right? It was nice.

She sniffled nice and hard one last time as she pulled her face away from her hands, slowly looking up at her teacher. "I," She swallowed softly. "I-I, didn't hear them d-do it, Miss Professor of Charms here at Firefox." Her watery eyes glimmered up at the older woman, as if begging to be saved. "I w-was just, just sitting here, at the lake. And then..." Unable to express words due to her emotions, she sort of of just flailed her hands to convey what she could only attempt to mumble. Hakumi looked down at her legs again, sad.

"I am sorry."

[Professor O'Conner]

Ashelle sighed and got up. With very few clues to work with she could only try a dispelling charm. Luckily, it wouldn't do anything if the girl had not actually been hexed.

"You don't have to be sorry, it wasn't your fault you were attacked." she said getting out her wand from her faux pocket. The pocket actually lead to her wand holster which was attached to her thigh with straps, over some white shorts.

"Hold still ok? This spell will undo the hex." Or it will do nothing at all, if you were just teased or something, thought Ashelle silently. She could be reading the signs wrong but she couldn't find hex marks on the girl.

She waved her wand and tapped it gently on the girls head silently casting a dispelling charm.
"Feel any better?" she asked, tucking her wand under her arm for a moment. "Here, dry your eyes with my handkerchief, and try to stay away from the people who attacked you from now on." She handed the girl the gold and red embroidered cloth.

[Finnegan Darby]

The spell that had turned Poopy from a slightly boring Transfigurations spellbook into a floppy-eared double-tailed puppy had already been wearing thin, by the time they actually walked into the Hospital Wing. The Professor that had transfigured him hadn't meant for it to be a permanent change, but rather just something to get her students through their assignment.

As the spell washed over Hakumi, presumably either curing her or doing nothing, it also fell over Poopy, who was all up in the Hufflepuff girl's hands. Poopy the crup disappeared with a pop!, and a book fell into the girl's hands in his place. It settled there as easily as Poopy had, with maybe a bit less tail-wagging.

Finny stood, and his chair made a scraping sound as he pushed it back. His eyes were wide, aghast, and he turned on the Charms Professor with a shocked look. "WHAT DID YOU DO WITH POOPY"

Clearly, this was much more important than Hegilu's 'curing'.

[Amuro Hakumi]

Hakumi looked up, hopeful, as Ashelle stuck her wand at her and stuck it on top of her head for a little. Wait, hadn't Finny already done this at the lake? This whole position was honestly familiar, and even the spell she was going to use... Well, even if the great Finnegan Darby couldn't do it, there was a chance this Charms Professor could help her. Wasn't that her area of expertise? Hopefully, hopefully, she would be cured, and she could just go back to being a happy girl on a happy day, quiet and alone with her pet spider. She felt a trickle from the top of her head, it was cold and soothing. She closed her eyes as it passed over her, and when it was done she waited a few moments.

Anything?

Anything??

Nothing had happened. It hadn't worked. She was still cursed... possibly forever. She would have to live this way for the rest of her life... Possibly the rest of all of her lives. Even when she was reincarnated she would be cursed. It was awful. Who would do something like this to her? Who could do something like this to her?


"I'm--" she started, before she was interrupted by what Finny said. Poopy? What was wrong with-- Poopy had disappeared, and instead, there was a book in her hands! "POOPY!" she immediately began to sob again. "Poopy, no..."

Suddenly, she felt a shifting on her ear...

[Hatchet]

Spiders are usually fairly docile creatures. Only occasionally will one go out of its way to attack a human, and even then, there is usually a reason. The kind of spider that was perched on Hakumi's ear was especially known for being harmless to humans. There is an urban legend involving the 'Opiliones', also known as the 'harvestman', and even more commonly known as the Daddy Longlegs (along with two other spiders who share the same nickname). It's said that the Opiliones is the most venomous spider in the world, but due to its small mouth size, it is harmless to humans. The truth was, Harvestmen didn't even have venom sacs. One of their spider brethren did, but even then, it was nowhere near strong enough to kill a human.

The spider on Hakumi's ear shifted, one of its legs growing thicker and thicker. Its middle section suddenly, with a 'pop' sound, expanded ridiculously, any segments filled out immediately. It grew bigger and bigger, and Hakumi looked at it in horror as the spider fell off and twitched uncontrollably. It expanded more and more, and grew increasingly more 'human' like, until finally it rose from the ground, a black cape slung around its shoulder, and a silver mask on its face.

A raspy voice crept out through the slot in the mask.

"Damn." It took a harsh, long breath, and if his mask hadn't been there, the group would have seen a charred, scarred face wink at them. "Busted." With a snap, Hatchet the ex-Shadow apparated out of the Hospital Wing to regions unknown.

[Amuro Hakumi]

Hakumi stared in horror.

"Wh-what..."

She turned to Ashelle, dumbstruck and horrified.

"What did you do to Finnegan Junior!?"

[Professor O'Conner]

"I apparently revealed him for the wizard he was." said Ashelle faintly. For a moment she was at a lost for what to. What the hell was happening to this school? Wizards were disguising themselves as spiders and books were masquerading as dogs. If this were not a magical environment (where Muggles never set foot), Ashelle would have sworn she was going crazy - the children's howling surely was going to make her such if it continued.

"All right all right, be silent for a moment! Listen, I will Transfigure your book back into a dog, and I will give you another spider for a pet, but only if you at least attempt to calm down right now!" she said firmly, but without anger.

Ashelle had decided she must take care of the students needs first, once they left, she could run to find Morgan and tell her what had happened. The only way to be sure there were no more Animagi hiding in the school was to dispell the whole place and then put up protections. Why the school obviously didn't have them right now was beyond her.

[Finnegan Darby]

Omg. OMG.

"Hey, that dude gave me candy once," Finny calmly observed, watching as the mask-wearing dude scampered away. Well, not scampered, but pulled some wizardy move and disappeared. You know. Heggles seemed upset.

Also, Poopy was still a book. Suddenly, Finny sympathized with Hekki's tears. The nurse teacher lady offered to fix Poopy, whom Finny had immediately snatched back from Hekupu as soon as he could. He clung to the dog-eared book, sniffing back his own tears. "HE'LL NEVER BE THE SAME," Finnegan sobbed. "POOOOPYYYYYYYYYYYY"

Oh, wait. He quieted down. "Can you make him, like, a BIG dog this time? Ooh, no wait, make him a DRAGON! Yeah, dude! No, wait, a DOG-DRAGON! YES! FUCK YES!"

The best the best the best.
