Polyjuice mishap [OPEN]

[Evangeline Odette Rosier]

Evangeline had never been so angry in her life, how could her sisters even think this was funny for one second? She shouldn't have accepted that drink they offered her, and she knew it, but they were being so nice for once. No jokes about being a pretty little blond lioness for Gryffindor, just smiles and a nice glass of...well she couldn't remember what they had offered her, something in Swedish and she was lacking on the language of late. Now she looked like, well goodness she didn't even want to know.
She held her cloak close to her body as she rushed past the students around her, just like a bunch of bees in a buzzing hive. She managed to make it to the hospital wing without being seen by anyone, she hoped. Her black Mary Jane's made a quick tapping rhythm as she made her way inside.
She looked around at all the beds and wondered what had brought each of the other students here. Surely not what had brought her here. She was seriously never trusting her sisters again.
She grew anxious and stood to the side of the room, probably looking like a lost dementor or a scared little first year hidden under her dark hood.
She watched as the sunlight slipped through the wide windows and turned the spotless room into a glittering masterpiece. Her eyes trailed to the metal desk beside her and she caught a glimpse of her reflection. She scared herself and gasped a bit before stepping away, suddenly feeling ill.
Where had her sister's gotten that hair?
She quickly ran through the list of animals that were local to her home: Rabbits, horses, pigs...Pomeranian!
She was a puffy dog faced fifteen year old!
It was really quite awful, but could have been worse, there were pigs on that list after all.
It took her a few deep breaths but she finally managed to sit on one of the beds and call out softly,
"Excuse me, but could I get some help?" This was even worse then usual. Polyjuice potion was illegal for students her age. What was she supposed to say now?

[Shaylyn Menki]

Today had been a rather busy day in the hospital wing. Everything from broken bones to the flu, to someone who was for some reason, uncontrollably burping, probably due to a jinx done by friends, but he wasn't able to speak clearly when Shay was tending to him. All of the students were finally on their way to being healed and it had finally been quiet for a few good minutes. The nurse, Nikolai, had taken this opportunity to take a much needed break, leaving Shay in charge in case something happened.

It was probably the first time she had been left in charge of the entire wing so of course she was nervous. Secretly, she hoped nothing happened and it stayed this quiet until Nikolai came back. She sat in the office, writing down something about the student with the flu when she heard a voice calling for help in the other room. She sighed, peaking into the main hospital room. She saw a cloaked figure who hadn't been there before. It looked like a student but then again, she want sure. [pink]Hi, can I help you?[/pink] Shay asked the figure.

[Evangeline Odette Rosier]

Evangeline heard the soft footsteps before she heard the voice and she still managed to cringe into herself. It was a girl, and she sounded young too. Nothing could have prepared her for that. What would this girl do when she saw Evangeline's face? She'd surely go get a professor and then the girl might never finish her life at Hogwarts. Well, she had to rish it or be the freakest little pom-girl forever.
"I, yes, I kind of sort of, had an accident?" She shivered and pulled her legs up into a cross legged position on the bed.
"I really must warn you, it's really quite strange." The girl chewed her lip, and then wiped off the dog hair now on her tounge, onto her sleeve.
"Please don't be vexed, it was an accident, like I said. I did nothing wrong." Evangeline shut her mouth tight, now she was just being ridiculous adding fuel to the fire. The less this girl knew, the better.

[Selene Nyx Ipswitch]

Selene had gotten sick over the past weekend and she wished that she would have brought some of the potions that would have made her well again from her aunt's place. She was sick and she was pale looking and she looked like a dang vampire to make matters worse. Everyone here thought she probably now was a vampire anyway and she didn't want that since no one, other then her boyfriend, actually talked with her and knew the truth to the matter.

Her parents had thrown a fit at her Aunt's place when her aunt was away. Selene had stayed behind just to make sure that her parents and younger siblings wouldn't dig into anything and find out that she was an animagus. She had gotten in a yelling match with her father who then had sent a curse or a hex at her to nock her back and she was slammed up against the wall. After the first attack from her father her mother jumped in and started hitting her and her father kept throwing the same spell over and over again at her till her aunt came back within 15 minutes of when the whole thing started and that was when she fell ill.

She walked into the hospital wing and noticed a...a girl talking to Shaylyn who was an intern to the hospital wing. She looked at them and wondered what could have happened to the poor girl and noticed that the girls face was hard to see but she didn't want to say anything so she sat on the bed and waited and she started coughing again in a fit.

"Dang cough." she said aloud to herself more so then shaylyn.

[Shaylyn Menki]

The figure, whom Shaylyn finally figured out was a female student, young by the sound of her voice, still hadn't taken off her cloak. She didn't sound sick, her voice wasn't raspy, she didn't sound congested or anything of the sort, but there was something about her that sounded somewhat distressed. It was something Shay couldn't seem to out her finger on without seeing what was actually wrong. She did however, think it was a bit odd that when she wiped what she assumed was her mouth under her cloak, it came back covered in some sort of....was that fur?

[pink] Do you think you could possibly, take of your hood? So I can see what your problem is?[/pink] It was then that Selene walked in. She could hear the rasp in her voice brought on by a severe cough. [pink] Be with you in a minute Selene. Is it just the cough you're here for?[/pink]

As she waited for the other girl to uncloak, she decided to grab Selene a cough potion that she had already mixed earlier that day. As she went off to grab it, she called out behind her. [pink]So what's your name and house and everything?[/pink]

[Evangeline Odette Rosier]

When the girl asked her to take off the cloak, Evangeline was quite glad that she sounded more curious than angry. She wasn't about to trust that she'd stay that way once she saw her face but, well she couldn't exactly stay like this forever!
She was about to remove her hood when another girl entered the wing. She froze and suddenly grew entirely too self conscious to even imagine taking the hood off. After her sister's she didn't need anyone else knowing about her little..mishap.
She listened to the two girls talk and sort of fidgeted with her hands. Oh she was being a child! No Rosier before her would have cared what others thought, all smart as a tack and Ravenclaws at that! Wasn't she supposed to have courage, she was in Gryffindor after all.
After a deep breath she removed the hood and quickly lowered her head, so that at least some of her face might be covered by her still blonde human hair.
"I'm Evangeline Odette Rosier, my house is Gryffindor." She sighed, she wasn't starting this year off very well now was she.

[Selene Nyx Ipswitch]

"Yes and a cold naturally since we got back." Selene said and coughed again.

Selene watched the other girl in curiousity not because of the fact that she was nervous just the fact that she had said Gryffindor and she was wondering why she really didn't see the other girl. When the girl took off her hood Selene saw that the girl had a furry face. Oh, Polijuice potion was not a thing for animal transformations but human.

"Polyjuice potion. It's only meant for human transformation not for animal transformation. I am guessing that someone did this to you and that you wouldn't have drank it if you knew what it was." said Selene curiously. She didn't want to be a snob or a no it all but she kinda figured that the girl wouldn't do that to herself for she looked ashamed for the whole thing.

"Don't be afraid. It's alright." Selene said soothingly to the girl, what was her name, Evangelin.

"I have had the same kind of problem with several potions so your not the only one that had a....a....umm...Shaylyn can help you. She is the best Intern that I know." Selene said smiling.

[Shaylyn Menki]

As Shaylyn left the supply closet carrying a couple of potions for Selene, she heard the two girls taking. She figured they would have known each other, both being Gryffindors and all. It want until she heard the words "polyjuice potion" that she really got curious about their conversation. Shay had heard about students taking polyjuice potion to try and become animals but that wasn't how it worked. The only way a wizard or witch could become an animal was to become an animagus which took a lot of time and effort and the person can only turn into one animal exclusively. Shay was an animagus and she was proud of that.

As she approached the two girls, she noticed Evangeline had finally taken off her hood. At first she didn't notice what was wrong, as her blonde hair was covering her face, but with a closer look she noticed that she indeed had a polyjuice mishap. Shay handed the two potions to Selene. [pink] Here sweetie, take these both right now and then go get some rest. You'll be all better after that. [/pink] She said with a weak smile. [pink] Now you....[/pink]She said turning to Evangeline. [pink] This is gonna take a bit of work....[/pink] Shaylyn pulled up a chair and set it across from the spot she was sitting at. Carefully moving a few locks of her blonde hair aside, she finally saw the full extent of Miss Evangeline's problem. Her face was certainly furry and sort of looked like a dog. [pink] So what's the story? But more importantly, how long ago did you take the potion, what was it mixed in, and what kind of animal fur was used? I need to know all these things at least to determine how long it'll take to cure you.[/pink]

[Evangeline Odette Rosier]

Evangeline visably flinched when the other girl, Selene, spoke about the potion. She was watching the door out of the corner of her eye, wondering if she should make a run for it when she realized yet again that she didn't want to be a puppy faced girl anymore. She folded her hands together and then sighed.
"It was an accident." Evangeline said softly, "I...I picked up the wrong bottle at my house. It was an accident." She couldn't help repeating it again, perhaps to try and convience herself of the lie as well.
When the girl told her not to be afraid she couldn't help glancing up at her. Those were kind words, but she couldn't help but be afraid. She had many fears today. Would she ever look like herself again? What would her mother say if she could see her daughter now? Did her sisters truely know what they were doing when they gave her that drink? Would she get into trouble? Her sisters had told her some scary stories about getting into trouble at Hogwarts and she didn't want anything to do with that.
She was surprised when she heard Selene tell of her potion problems, it made her feel better to know that she wasn't alone. She was a bit surprised when she heard that the girl treating her was an intern, she didn't doubt in her ability though and it did make sense seeing as the girl, Shaylyn was her name, did sound younger than Evangeline had expected a healer to sound.
When Shaylyn came back, she offered Selene some sort of potion for coughs and then came toward Evangeline. Evangeline worried that she was going to be yelled at, and was surprised when she was kind with her.
"The story? Oh well, I went home this weekend and I was looking for...this ption my mtoher wanted and I saw one that looked interesting and I decided to take it." The lies sounded so false to her own ears and she was blushing deeply beneath the fur on her cheeks. She hoped that the other girls wouldn't notice her faliure but it was hard to believe that they wouldn't.
"I took it about, three hours ago, I think." She shook her head helplessly and fought hard to keep the tears from falling, "I don't know what was in it miss, it was already made." Shrugs and then without realizing it, reaches up to scratch at her cheek. Jumping a little at the unusaul hair there, she sighs again.
"I think it's dog hair, our godlen Pomeranian most likely." She avoided looking at either girl and shifted uncomfortably.
"I am very sorry though." She added gently.

[Selene Nyx Ipswitch]

Selene took the potion Shaylyn was handing to her and she swollowed them. As she did she was watching Evangeline who, to selene, seemed little scared about taking the potion and that she didn't want to get in to, to much trouble. She felt sorry for the girl and she wanted to help out but since she was sick she didn't want to give her, her sickness.

"Hun, we don't blame you. It's ok accidents happen all the time especially when you are a Witch or Wizard. Trust me, it will be ok. They won't punish you for a mistake like this." Selene said encouragingly to Evangeline hoping that the girl would be ok and she coughed a little.

"Everyone makes mistakes, it's part of what makes us all unique for it builds character in a person and makes the person become who they are. I know, it's hard to see how this could change anything but it is experience from mistakes that count." Selene said smiling at both Shaylyn and Evangeline.

Selene watched Evangeline curiously and noticed that she was still figity. She didn't want to make the girl feel worse so she kept her mouth shut so that the girl wouldn't know that she saw shame and maybe....something else. She knew how that was and like Evangeline, she was like that a few years back and scared too. She sensed tension and that the girl was trying hard to keep the tears back.

"Hun, it will be alright." Selene said speaking directly at Evangeline.

[Shaylyn Menki]

Shaylyn listened to Evangeline's story about picking the wrong bottle. It sounded plausible, except for the fact that Polyjuice potion was very distinct; it smelled horrid, looked horrid, and tasted just as horrid. The only way someone wouldn’t know that they took it is if it was mixed very well in something else. This was most likely done by someone to her on purpose, or else, if it really was an accident and the spiked potion drink really wasn’t meant for her. She decided not to put the girl on the spot and pretend to believe her story; at least she had told her most of the important things she needed to know.

[pink]Hmm…dog…[/pink] She thought, tapping her finger on her chin. [pink]If its only been a few hours, it shouldn’t be TOO hard to get you back to normal. Actually, if you don’t mind…[/pink] Shaylyn lifted up Evangeline’s arm and took a few of the hairs that she had wiped off herself earlier. Keeping them tight between her fingers so as not to lose them, she gave them a ‘be right back’ look and rushed over to her work table where she already had a cauldron set up from mixing potions earlier. Tossing the couple of hairs in, she lit a fire underneath and began mixing in a few other ingredients from the supply closet. She made about 3 or 4 trips back and forth from the supply closet to the table, mixing in this and that, making a sort of ‘anti-polyjuice potion’. After a while, it looked like she figured it should, as she had only ever read about this potion once, in a book from the restricted section.

Pouring some into a cup, she then separated the rest into equally sized vials, labeling them ‘Evangeline’ and placed them on a shelf. Shaylyn brought the cup to the girl and handed it to her. [pink] Drink up and make yourself comfortable. You’ll be here until at least tomorrow. I can set up a curtain around the bed if you wish but you’ll need to drink this potion every 3 hours until you are completely back to normal. Sound good? [/pink] It was basically a rhetorical question, as she really had no other choice, she just thought she’d ask.

[Hecate Ipswitch]

It's not your fault. It just took a turn for the worst here and it's been dead for a while now. Only a few of us stay and remain here.
