Basic Level - Lesson 8

Aurora looked around the area. She grabbed her crutches and tried to stand. When she got to her feet her broken foot gave way and she plunged back to the ground. She lay there troping in pain. She moaned a little trying to keep concious. Her head had hit a tree. She felt her left leg but had no feeling in her rightleg or anywhere else. She asked for someone to help her sit up.

Abbey put the bracelet around her thin wrist and picked up her sneakers from their spot by the lake. She sat down on one of the seats on the grass and waited for the sun to air dry her as she watched everybody else do their tasks.

C....Can someone H...Help me sit u...u....up? m....ost of m...my ....body is...is numb Aurora lay there still throbbing in pain

Elyssa heard the girl with crutches moan and so she got up to her feet put her family's picture inside her robe walked toward the girl. She push her hands to the girl's waist and started to walk her to on the of the cushions.

Aurora sat on a cushions still moaning in pain. She thanked the girl who helped her and she sat there trying to relax. It was hard to relax because of the pain

''I guess you are out. Twenty points for my House. And please, either go to the Hospital wing or stop playing Lady Macbeth. It is just water, for Peter's sake. It is not acid.'', Wilson said not raising his head from the paper he was reading. ''Oh and yes, would anyone, Abbey... anyone, just check on Alice down in the lake? If she dies, the idiots will blame me.'', Wilson replied.

Aurora sat there. She was still in pain. She put her face into her hands and tears rolled down her face. She was soooo shy and now she was even more shy. She sat there crying silently as class continued.

Wilson sighed. ''Oh come on! You have gotten yourself wet... you have not died or been fatally wounded. Stop crying! You are a Gryffindor, for Peter's sake. If anything, you should be brave!'', he said. What did he have to put up with on these classes.

Aurora was silent. She wiped the tears from her face then gasped a little in pain. It hrt to move any part of her body. She looked up silently and looked around. you could tell she was in pain but she didnt act like it.

Lily shrugged at the sense of disarray that the class seemed to be in before sighing heavily and pulling out her wand and casted a bubble head charm in an even tone before diving into the water, automatically feeling the warmth leave her. And her hair get soggy, god she was going to regret this later. At least though she could breathe. She gazed around trying to spot if the girl from earlier was in sight, but deciding that Abbey could check more thoroughly, seeing as Lily had a task to do.

She swam deeper into the water spotting a group of merpeople who were gaurding some objects. She knew that one of them was hers, so she held her wand as steadily as one could unwater and said, "Inscendio!" Almost sighing in relief when the magical fire came out of her wand.

Gazing at the objects she realized that one of them was her photo album, which had some really imortant photos of hers in it, ones of her parents at school even. She grabbed the book before swimming to the surface. Lily made her way to shore cursing the subject of DADA, thankful that the album wasn't damaged.

She attempted pitifully to arrange her hair so it wouldn't turn into a puffball once dry but gave up, knowing that it was a waste of time. She called out to Professor Wilson, "Sir, I didn't see her down there." Before slumping onto the grass and checking the album more carefully for damage.
