Faking It ((James))

[Ann Marie Washington]

Ann Marie glanced around the class room. She didn't want to come to class in the first place but she had too, her friends had dragged her. She had gotten in trouble again with the Headmistress for causing trouble in the hallways and she just wanted to stay in bed all day. She had no organized plane but she thought skiving class in the Hospital Wing sounded like a great option. She smiled to herself and put on a sick face. She raised her hand and said to the professor "Professor, I'm not feeling too great, I think I might have the flu. Can I go to the hospital wing?" She waited for the Professor to give her consent and when she did she inwardly did a jig. Her friends shot her a look and just grinned back. She collected her pass from her teacher and walked out of the door.

She took her sweet time walking to the hospital wing. She didn't exactly want to go into the place but she knew she had too, her friends would no doubt visit her later to give her a lecture. She rolled her eyes as she thought about her friends. They all actually liked class, something Ann Marie didn't. She continued her trek to the hospital wing a plan formulating in her mind.

As she arrived at the door she cast a warming charm on herself and began to act like she was woozy. She wasn't sure if the nurse was even in, but in case she was Ann Marie wanted to be prepared. She opened the door to the Wing and let her eyelids fall. She was a great actress and that came in handy for someone who got into as much trouble as she did. She took a peek around the wing and saw that the wing was empty, exept for the office where the nurse was doing her work. She smiled lightly and groaned. She knew the nurse heard her and that was exactly her intention. The nuse began to fuss over her and she said "Actually I would jut like to lie down please." The nurse then led her over to one of the empty beds and went back into her office. Ann Marie smiled, she picked a great day to skive off class.

James Potter walked out of his class and closed the door gently behind him. He smirked and then stuck his hands in his pockets, then taking out a lollipop from his pocket unwrapped it and put it in his mouth. He had been able to get out of class again, thanks to some of his Uncle's store Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes. It was a new invention of theirs, it gave him a small fever but he didn't suffe rnay simptoms, which was definately a plus. All he had to do was act, or lie as he put it, something that he was good at.

He strolled the hallway and ate one of the candies that appeared like a small mint and held his lollopop as it fizzed away in his mouth. He furrowed his eyebrows, teh taste wasn't so great: tasted very similiar to one of those muggle liquid cold medicines. He stuck hte lollipop back in his mouth, indulging in teh contrasting sweet taste and smiled to himself in contentment. He had been walking to the hospital wing when he saw a younger Gryffindor student use her wand on herself for a warming spell. He chuckled at himself and then fiollowed soon after her.

James saw that the Nurse was fussing over her and then walked in, pocketing the lollipop after wrapping it up quickly. He smiled at the nurse faintly and then sat down.
"'Scuse me Nurse, I'm not feelinf very well."
She smiled at him broadly, she always seemed to always be happy, a comforting trait in such a place where he was constantly looked down upon on teachers. SHe started clicking her tongue and then felt his forehead then started tutting again.
"My dear Mr. Potter, we should keep you in teh Hospital wing all of the time boy, you are like a walking fever."
SHe laughed heartily and then held up her finger, motioning that she would be back soon, and went to the back of the Hospital wing.

When she was out of earshot, James looked over at the Girl and smiled at her crookedly.
"YOu have a fever too? Charms are messy, don't you know?"
He started clicking his tongue in imitation of the Nurse. He liked her and all but she was an interesting character.
"Amateur"
He said teasingly then tilted his head back looking at the cieing and leaned back in one of the cots where he had sat down.
