Title: The Faintest...Jo!!
Description: Part of the Thread from the great Hall
Emma Potter - August 9, 2007 09:26 PM (GMT)
Emma brought Jo up to the hospital wing, after her fainting in the Great Hall! She was able to get Jo to stop choking, but it seemed she was deeply unconcious. Running up to the nurse, she explained what happened, and the nurse took Jo to a near by bed..and started healing her. Emma sat down next to Jo and watched!

Jo was confused. Everything was black. Or was it? Things started to turn pink. Pink? Why were things turning pink? That didn't make sense. She tried to run up to the pink that was slowly surrounding her. It seemed like she just glided when she ran. Why?
Jo got to the pink quickly, and her question was forgotton. It was cotton candy. Fluffy, pink cotton candy. Wait. No, there was some blue too! Turning around, Jo saw pink cotton candy, acting kind of like walls, and blue cotton candy acting like the ceiling and ground.
"Cotton Candy?" she muttered to herself. "Weird."

Nurse Alfie looked Jo over when Jo said something about cotton candy.
Alfie realized at once that Jo needed air. Waving her wand Alfie sommoned the breathing rub she know this would help.
Alfie then looked at Emma and said, "would you please tell me again what happened?"
Alfie had not been listening seeing that Jo needed taking care of for she was not breathing well.
Emma Potter - August 10, 2007 11:49 AM (GMT)
Emma glanced at Jo when she mentioned cotton candy. "Are you sure she is going to be alright?" Emma asked..and watched as the nurse helped Jo breath. "Oh..we were in the Great Hall, Jo took a bite of food and started talking when it was in her mouth. She began to choke, I was able to get the food out to make her stop choking, but she already fainted. So I brought her up here. I couldn't get her to wake up when she fainted. She just kept mumbling about different things, which made me realize she wasnt unconcious."
jojo37PotterTrio - August 10, 2007 09:20 PM (GMT)
Still surrounded by cotton candy, Jo's feet started to sink into the fluffy sweets.. Suddenly, though, the cotton candy disappeared. "Wow," she thought.. Jo had not realized how closed in she had felt with the cotton candy all around her.
Without it, everything felt much more open. Once or twice, she even thought she thought she saw Emma's face hovering above her in the black.
"Emma?..." Something distracted Jo. The cotton candy was now gone, but lollipops had started to pop up from the ground, like big round flowers.. "Lollipops?..." What was going on?
alrerretta - August 11, 2007 04:12 AM (GMT)
Jo started to talk about Lollipops.
"Oh." Nurse Alfie said, "some one must have put the potion to send Jo's mind to wish and dream land. This will take a little while longer seeing that she hasn't come out of it yet. Who ever done this did not know as much about this kind of potion as they thought."
Alfie then went to her office to get the antidote for wish and dream land.
"Don't worry I'll have her fixed right up," Alfie yelled from her office.
jojo37PotterTrio - August 12, 2007 12:04 AM (GMT)
Jo heard voices. Then they went away again. It was almost like a broken radio, but worse.
Now, among the lollipop flowers, Gummi worms appeared and crawled around them, disappearing from view every now and then behind the giant 'flowers'.
Smiling, Jo walked up to one, and saw it wriggling forward, looking like a miniature, deformed rainbow.
Then a small pop made her look around. It looked like a very muddy little lake had formed.
No! It wasn't a muddy lake at all.. It was a chocolate lake!
"Oooh, yum!" she muttered to herself, standing up again to walk over to the lake.
alrerretta - August 12, 2007 01:09 AM (GMT)
Alfie looked at the potion that she had to reverse wish and dream land, then thought I wonder how old that potion was if it was old then this will not work for it will have become stronger.
Alfie went to the bed Jo was at and then told Jo, "Jo open your mouth please and try some of the chocolate milk it's great."
Alfie then took a Q-tip and got some of Jo's spit to check to make sure what was in the potion and how old it was, this way she would not give too little or too much of the antidote.
Using her wand Alfie had the answer and know she had to make a potion for this. Someone must have gotten their hands on an old potion for wish and dream land for there was a poisin in it now the kind that only happened to very old potions.
"I need to make a different potion this one will only slow down how fast the poisin moves," Alfie told Emma.
Alfie ran to her office and started to work, good thing she had all the herbs she needed right here.
Emma Potter - August 16, 2007 01:22 PM (GMT)
Emma watchd as Nurse Alfie helped Jo. She tried to remember every detail of what was happening, because Jo would want to know everything the Nurse did. Making mental notes in her head, she stopped when she heard Nurse Alfie say that she will make a potion that will only slow down the poison. Looking at the Nurse, she said.."You can't stop it? Can this poison be harmful to her body after a long period of time?" she asked concern echoing in her voice.
jojo37PotterTrio - August 17, 2007 12:15 AM (GMT)
Jo was bending over the chocolate lake, ready to dip her hands into the smooth surface of brown, but looked up as she heard voices.
It was the same people as before.. Emma... and .. and.. oh, it was Nurse Alfie! But.. why would she be hearing Emma and Nurse Alfie?
Then the voices were gone.. "Oh well.." she muttered... "Back to the chocolate lake.."
alrerretta - August 17, 2007 07:25 AM (GMT)
Nurse Alfie heard Emma ask her a question, but desided she would answer only when she was done making the right potion for the old Wish and dream land potion.
Working as quickly as she could Alfie had the antidote made in no time and was returning to Jo's bed.
"Emma this will fix the problem in a day with no ill side effects, I just needed something stronger then the other potion."
Giving the potion to Jo by putting a cup in her hand so that Jo would drink it. Alfie made sure that the cup was ediable so she could tell Jo to eat the cup as well, besides it was part of the antidote.
"Jo here have this candy flower it is full of chocolate from the lake and that way you can drink the chocolate then go and eat the cup. You don't look to well and this will make you feel better."
Alfie hoped that Jo would do as she said.
Alfie then whispered to Emma, " play along with me so she will eat and drink the potion."
Alfie hasnded Emma some real chocolate milk and said, "Emmm this is really good don't you think Emma? I have always loved the chocolate from this stream and the candy flowers are the greatest."
Emma Potter - August 18, 2007 10:23 PM (GMT)
Emma grinned, taking some of the chocolate milk, she quickly dranked it. "This is so good..You should really have some Jo!" she said, hoping Jo heard her. Hearing what Alfie said, she added.."That chocolate stream has the greatest chocolate, you were lucky to get some."
alrerretta - August 20, 2007 02:40 AM (GMT)
Emma was doing just what Alfie asked her to do. Taking a drink of the chocolate that Alfie gave her she told Jo how good it was.
After Alfie had gotten Jo into a sitting position and put the cup to Jo's lips so she could drink, hoping that Jo would swollow.
"This is the best chocolate I have ever had, I wonder where it comes from. I mean where it starts at and how it came to be, don't you Emma?"
Alfie wanted to make it sound like they where really there.
"Oh this cup taste really good to, I wonder how they grow."
jojo37PotterTrio - August 21, 2007 08:14 PM (GMT)
Jo kept hearing Emma and Nurse Alfie. She tried to shake the voices out of her head, but they wouldn't disappear. Finally, she gave up, but sat upright and listened closely as they started talking about the chocolate stream. "Ooo," she muttered, getting hungrier for the chocolate. Unable to resist any longer, Jo cupped some of the chocolate from the chocolate lake and raised it to her lips. Slowly, she drank it, and closed her eyes in pleasure. "Mmmm..."
alrerretta - August 22, 2007 01:38 AM (GMT)
Alfie looked at Emma, " that's good but we need to get her to eat the cup too or she will not get the other part of the potion in her to get her out of this."
Alfie then turned back to Jo, "Jo take a bite of the flower cup it is just as tasty as the chocolate, give it a try."
Alfie put the cup up to Jo's mouth and hoped that Jo would take a bite, besides the cup was small as she didn't have much of it to eat.
jojo37PotterTrio - September 17, 2007 09:33 PM (GMT)
The voices wouldn't stop. They kept talking to Jojo, and Jo wouldn't be able to resist them much longer. "Flower Cup?" she muttered to herself, looking around for something that might fit the description.
"Ooo!" she exclaimed, seeing a few pop out of the ground in front of her. She filled it once more with the liquid chocolate, and after drinking that, she took a bite out of the cup. Chewing slowly, Jo got a taste of it first. "Delicious!" she said, and finished the cup quickly.
alrerretta - September 18, 2007 05:48 AM (GMT)
Alfie smiled as JoJo eat the whole cup,then said to Emma, "well she should be fine in about half and hour all she needs now is rest."
Alfie looked at the time it was getting late but 30 min. go by fast if you can find something to do with the time.
"Emma would you like something to eat?"
Alfie knew that Emma should be hungry seeings that Emma had been here in the hospital wing for 4 hours.
jojo37PotterTrio - November 26, 2007 10:38 PM (GMT)
Somehow, Jojo felt more relaxed after eating the Flower Cup. Sighing, Jojo lay down on the soft ground, getting ready for a nice long nap.
However, she let out a sharp cry of pain. Her head was burning! Burning hot, Jo wimpered, thrashing on the ground, trying to get rid of the pain. What was happening? Jo gasped for breath, wimpering more as the burning worsened steadily. She tried to call out for help.
"Sil! Emma!" she gasped. "Alfie!"
Emma Potter - November 26, 2007 10:46 PM (GMT)
Emma had sat down in a chair near Jo's bed, not leaving her side like a watch dog. She rested her head in her hands, and gently drifted off to sleep, only to be woken up by Jo calling her name. Coming to her senses, Emma looked around.."Alfie I think something is wrong, she is pain!" she said worriedly.
Lethal Ink - November 26, 2007 11:16 PM (GMT)
As soon as sil heard Jo was in the hospital wing, he ran there as fast as he could run, cursing that apparation was impossible in Hogwarts--and even if it were possible, he couldn't apparate yet anyway. He arrived just in time to hear her calling out to him and Emma and Alfie.
"It's okay, Jo," he said soothingly, wanting to touch her but afraid to get in the way--or possibly hurt her worse somehow--at the same time. "We're all here."
"What's wrong with her?" he asked Emma and Alfie and everyone and no one. "Is she going to be okay?" He bit his tounge before he could let the questions run away with him. He knew he needed to stay calm for her sake. But that did nothing to ease the panick he felt inside.
"You're going to be okay, Jo," he told her. "You're in the hospital wing and Alfie's going to take care of you. Emma and I are both here, and we're not going to go anywhere."
Emma Potter - November 26, 2007 11:22 PM (GMT)
Emma looked up at him when he asked what was wrong with her. "I dont know what is wrong with her, but I do know that I am going to go throw up!" she said sarcastically moving out of the chair so he could sit down.
She was giving in, it was hard but after so many years of taking care of Jo and Jo taking care of her, she had to let go. Sil could take care of her now, he was there and well to be honest, he had more of an effect. He could kiss her and hold her, and there was no way Emma was going to kiss Jo. She backed away, letting him have some time with Jo. "I think I am going to go get some food!" she said meekly.
jojo37PotterTrio - November 26, 2007 11:27 PM (GMT)
Jojo could hear the voices of Sil and Emma around her, and wanted to open her eyes and call them closer, but she couldn't.
The pain was gettin worse, the burning sensation slowly taking over her whole body. Jo cried out again, thrashing around worse than before.
"Don't -- leave - me!" she gasped. She knew her friends wouldn't leave her, but she had to say it. Just in case. "Emma... Sil..." she moaned.
Lethal Ink - November 26, 2007 11:44 PM (GMT)
Sil couldn't believe he was hearing Emma talking about getting food after he had just told Jo no one was leaving her. "No, you're not," he said in a voice low enough that he hoped Jo wouldn't hear. "You're staying right here if I have to put a permanent sticking charm on your feet."
Emma Potter - November 26, 2007 11:52 PM (GMT)
Emma glanced at Sil with an ice cold glare. "I am only listening to you because of Jo." she said, sitting back down next to him, and whispering so only he could hear.."Any other day I would hex you!" she siad with a grin.
jojo37PotterTrio - November 27, 2007 12:13 AM (GMT)
Jojo was relieved that the voices didn't leave her. Just hearing them was oddly comforting. Jo tried to calm herself down. The burning only got worse.
Then images suddenly flashed through her brain:
Emma, laughing merrily, suddenly collapsed to the ground with a flash of green light.
Sil, smiling at Jo, collapsed in the same way.
Person after person that Jojo loved and cared about fell to the ground next to the two. Last came her parents.
As they crumpled, Jo screamed, horrified at the pile in front of her. "NO!! NO! DON'T!! NO!" Jo shrieked.
Suddenly, the image disappeared, and Jo realized she was sobbing. "Noo..."
alrerretta - November 27, 2007 12:27 AM (GMT)
Hearing Jo, then Emma and finally Sil talk about how Jo was hurting Alfie came over quickly.
"I was afraid that this might happen. A lot of the time when people are in wish and dream land they get confused. Their mind doesn't want to leave but they must and so a battle goes on inside themself and it hurts. I'll give her some weeping willow bark tea and that should ease the pain."
Alfie the look at Sil, "don't worry she will be alright trust me."
As Alfie got the tea she added some pepperment to make it taste better, it would also make it so that if she got an upset stomack it would sooth it.
Lethal Ink - November 28, 2007 06:50 AM (GMT)
Sil let Emma's threat to hex him roll off. And didn't didn't care if she was just listening to him for Jo's sake; that was really the point.
"Look," he said. "She needs us right now. Not just me, but us. You two have been friends since long before I was even in the picture, and there's no way I can replace you. If your hungry, we can get a house elf to bring us something. I know Famulus or Bellicus (apparently I have house elves) would be happy to. Of course, Bellicus's cooking leaves quite a bit to be desired."
Then Jo started screaming. Sil jumped up, but Alfie explained what was happening and told him not to worry.
"I do trust you, Alfie," he said as he sat back down. "But I can't help but worry."
alrerretta - November 29, 2007 12:24 AM (GMT)
Alfie looked a Sil and said, "if you didn't worry then I would be wondering why the two of you where together and I would also run you out of here so fast your head would swim."
Alfie then took a cool cloth and put i on Jos head for Alfie know that the coolness would help her rest.
jojo37PotterTrio - November 29, 2007 01:07 AM (GMT)
Jojo felt a cool pressure on her head, and immediately felt better.
Relaxing her body, Jo began to breathe normally, and horrorific images no longer appeared inside her head.
Slowly, Jo began to feel aware of her surroundings.
Her body felt cooler, and she even attempted to open her eyes, but it was still not possible. Jo knew it would, however, and attempted to say her friends' names.
"Em? Sil?" she managed to get out.
alrerretta - November 29, 2007 01:22 AM (GMT)
Alfie heard Jo call out for Emma and Sil very quietly so Alfie said, "Okay you two she should be waking in a few minutes for she is starting to call you both. You might just want to sit as close as you can so she will see you when she wakes up."
Alfie then moved to clean up the wing so that they could have some time alone to think and listen for when Jo woke up.
Emma Potter - November 29, 2007 01:58 AM (GMT)
Emma moved uncomfortably in her chair when Jo screamed. Onc she had stopped, and after being re-ashured by Alfie, she bent down closer to Jo. "We are right here!" she said comfortingly. "We are right here with you, Sil and I, and Alfie, we are all here!" she said, squeezing her friends hand.
Lethal Ink - November 29, 2007 06:02 AM (GMT)
As Sil saw Jo begin to relax, he relaxed a bit himself. He moved closer when he heard Jo saying his and Emma's names softly. He wished her voice was louder, stronger, but he was glad she wasn't screaming anymore. He got up and walked around to the other side of the bed and took Jo's other hand.
"Yeah, we're right here," he said, smoothing her hair back and planting a kiss on her forehead.
jojo37PotterTrio - November 29, 2007 11:31 PM (GMT)
Jojo actually started to feel her body, and the things around it.
She could obviously hear, but longed to open her eyes.
Feeling her hands being held by Emma and Sil, the corners of Jo's lips lifted up into a smile.
"Thank you..." she whispered, and tried again to open her eyes.
It almost worked this time, but only fluttered open a little before closing again.
alrerretta - November 30, 2007 02:10 AM (GMT)
Alfie finally desided to check Jo again to see how well things where going. As Alfie stood at the foot of the bed she saw that Jo's eyes where flutting and then said, "she should be able to look and talk to the two of you in about 5 more minutes so don't take your eyes off her she will need to see you both as soon as she can. Sometimes the shock of leaving wish and dream land can leave a person a little disorientated."
Alfie had a small bottle of calming potion in her hand just in case it was needed.
Lethal Ink - December 7, 2007 01:01 AM (GMT)
Sil smiled at Alfie and nodded when she said Jo would be able to talk soon. He wanted to say 'thank you,' but he felt as if something was caught in his throat. He kept telling himself that Jo would be fine, but she wasn't yet, and he couldn't help but still be worried.
"I know you can't talk, but hopefuly you can hear me," he said to Jo. "You need to wake up, Jo. Whose going to tach me how to fly if you don't. And who am I going to take to the next ball?"
Emma Potter - December 7, 2007 01:32 AM (GMT)
Emma turned around to Sil.."Oh let me think, you are sitting next to the Ravenclaw Quidtich Captain, but heck, what does she know about quidtich?" she said jokingly, not wanting to reply to the ball part. "How about this Jo. If you wake up within the next minute, I will buy you 30 bags of Honeydukes candy, and the ultimate shopping spree!" she said.
jojo37PotterTrio - December 7, 2007 11:15 PM (GMT)
It wasn't easy to make herself heard, and opening her eyes seemed near impossible.
Hearing Sil talking to her first, Jo listened carefully.
"I'm.. I'm not dying,... Sil..." she said softly, laughing a little. "I'll be.. here as long.. as you are..."
Emma spoke next, after making a joking retort at Sil. 30 bags of Honeydukes candy, and the ultimate shopping spree?!?!
Jojo knew Em was probably kidding, but she just had to joke back.
Her eyelids felt heavy, but Jo forced them to open. She blinked heavily. It was hard to keep them open. "Seriously, Em?" she said. Her voice was slowly getting stronger. "I'll remember.. that..."
Jo attempted to sit up, but the physical moving part still wasn't coming. Instead, she twisted her head a little, looking around her, before it fell back into its original position.
