She honest to Rowling did not have any recollection of coming to the Hospital Wing and collapsing into one of the beds. Luckily she had already been in her PJs.
But the fact of the matter was, is she was sick. So under the weather, she almost thought she was dying.
But somewhere in her sick addled brain, she had thought up the smart solution to go bother Madam Pomfrey instead of getting all her other housemates sick with whatever it was she had. Probably the flu.
Were werewolves even able to get this sick? Where had she contracted the flu from in fucking October to start off with? Someone must've had it before coming to school, that had to of been it. Plus they all eat from a communal food source... and... ugh. She felt as though she had been hit by a truck and then run over by it, several times.
On top of it, she had double potions this morning and then double DADA after that. She would definately be noticed as missing. But there was no way in gods name that she would be going. No excuses Sev said, but dammit, she felt like she was dying!
After a Pepper Up potion and a dreamless sleep draught, she felt herself drifting off again...
. . . .
She awoke to the sun hitting her face, her head still pounding but her body definitely less achy... only to the sounds of scuffling and arguing.
She groaned, pulling her blanket over her head. She knew who it was immediately.

i will break the spell you put on me | everywhere i go, i am spellbound; you cannot have this control on me | 456 words commentary | She never missed class. Something had to be wrong.
That was the thought of two professors in particular, and of course, because potions happened first, there was one worried potions professor trying to teach while many different things went through his head. He had two more classes he had to teach while hiding the fact he was extremely worried and anxious. That wasn’t too hard for the master of Occlumency that he was, but it still was a terrible feeling. On the other hand, Remus Lupin had no classes after her missed double class with him, so at least he didn’t have to teach more than the one class with that worry hanging over his head.
As soon as classes had ended, both men could be seen rushing out of the classroom, in the purpose of searching for the same girl. Remus had the idea to check the Gryffindor Common Room and ask around there for where Rose was – while Severus had the sense to check with the other professors in the staff room to see if they heard anything about it. After all Snape wondering where Rose was would seem a bit suspicious to the student body – though he could always use the excuse that he wanted to know where she was in order to give her detention. However, both methods yielded results, which only worried the men further – she was in the hospital wing and sick.
There was a pause as the two men arrived at the hospital wing at the same time, a slight nod between the two and they quickly rushed into the room, and didn’t even ask Madam Pomfrey if it was okay, fighting over the seat right next to her.
“Oi, I have rights, I’m her brother.”
“Yes, but does she want to see a filthy mongrel when she awakens?”
“Why you little snake.”
The two suddenly turned towards Rose hearing her groan, seeing that she was now awake. They both refocused on her. “Rose, are you okay?” There’s a hand that is gently trying to remove the blanket so they could check her forehead temperature – as if Madam Pomfrey wasn’t already doing all she could.
“Of course she’s not, you blithering idiot, she’s in the hospital wing,” Severus replied his voice low, on the other side of the bed from Remus now. “I have your homework for the day, Rose.”
“You’re giving her work when she’s sick? What’s wrong with you?”
“No excuses.”
“Aren’t you at all worried about her? Don’t you claim to care?”
“Obviously. It would show no care if I simply let her fall behind on her school work. Unless you want her to fail her potions class.”
“One day won’t kill her.”
“Agree to disagree.”

She kept her eyes close a few minutes longer, while they continued to bicker over her. She kept her face impassive like she was still asleep, but she knew the two of them already realized she was awake. She sighed softly, slowly sitting up, running her hands through her hair to make her somewhat presentable before the two... idiots, before turning glassy bleary eyes on the two them, mustering up her kindest smile - which if either of the two of them knew very well, it means she was furious on the inside.
"I see Madam Pomfrey let you two in here again, especially after the debacle of last time."
She chuckled, which resulted in a coughing fit. Now thoroughly embarrassed by her state and once more in pain, she sighed again, turning eyes to Severus, "thank you for bringing me the homework; I'll probably need the rest of the week, and Saturdays, if you don't mind. I don't know how long it'll be to shake this. I've honestly never heard of ... someone like me getting sick before. At least this bad."
Her eyes swept to Remus, pinning him with a gaze of disapproval; "homework from your class too would have been appreciated."
Her lips quirk into a sad smile, "don't tell me you're relaxing on me now too?"
Okay, maybe she was slightly delirious. Just slightly. The only telltale sign was the tears that welled up in her eyes as she looked at her brother. "You were supposed to be different... not like the others."

i will break the spell you put on me | everywhere i go, i am spellbound; you cannot have this control on me | 188 words commentary | Severus looks very proud of himself when Rose got onto Remus for going ‘easy’ on her. After all, he wasn’t – and she wasn’t angry at him. Of course, Remus himself felt like a complete waste of space, his mouth hanging ajar when she said those things, almost crying.
What? He didn’t mean it that way – and of course Snape looked oh so proud of himself. He really was trying not to dislike that man – but it was so hard. How could he behave around this man when he acted so – so frustrating?!
“Rose, that’s not what I’m doing. You need to rest and gain your strength, any work you do like this will be wasted – wouldn’t you rather get better and actually have a chance to learn the information instead of wasting your time and slowing your recovery?”
He felt really bad right now. Even his sister was getting onto him. This was it, wasn’t it? She was annoyed with him. She didn’t like him – she didn’t love him anymore. Severus Snape and driven her away from him. The look of despair was very evident on his face.

Her head hurt. It really, really hurt. She had only been conscious for what, five minutes now? The look on her brother's face was bothering her. Did she say something wrong? She just wished they he had brought the homework for today with him. It's not like she was going to work on it now. No, there was no way to work on it now. Her head was swimming too much.
She swallowed heavily before falling back into her pillows, unable to keep upright any longer. Her eyes closed and she put her arm over her eyes, blocking out the light. Her voice weak as she spoke again.
"I'm sorry... Mo'ny; not... head hurts. Swimming. I.. I didn't mean whatever I said. I don't even remember what it was. Hope... feel better tomorrow. I just don't... want to get behind. Maybe I worked myself too hard. Haven't been sleeping well."
She looked to Severus, knowing he'd be looking at her disapprovingly. "Sorry."
She didn't know what to do. She just wanted to be wrapped up in someone warmth. Telling her it would be okay. Her head, her body, and her heart, were killing her, right now.

i will break the spell you put on me | everywhere i go, i am spellbound; you cannot have this control on me | 244 words commentary | Severus would be hugging her and curled up in the bed with her… if only Remus weren’t here. He’d rather not get cursed again and cause her even more undue stress. The two had talked, and while they weren’t exactly friends, they had an understanding at least – he didn’t want to make things worse and once more make Rose angry at her brother. After all, if she was mad at her brother, she wasn’t happy in general, and that was something he rather not have. He’d put all his efforts into making her feel better – so right now it was Remus’s turn to comfort her because if he did, he’d just upset the both of them, even if upsetting Rose was indirect.
“Hey, its okay,” Remus said, petting her for a moment, his eyes flicking up to Severus who seemed to communicate via body language that he was waiting for Remus to hug her. He actually really appreciated that. It was something that made him hate him just a little bit less. Remus leaned over and wrapped his arms around her, a hand petting her, while the other held her tight against him – not too tight as to suffocate, but enough to where she would feel secure in his arms. “I’m here, Severus is here. It’s all going to be alright.”
At least he wasn’t pining and lamenting about the apocalypse anymore, the thought having gone from his head as quick as it came.

The feeling of warmth hit her like a truck, but this time, a good truck. Hisweight was comforting and she felt grounded again, thought she was sure if she opened up her eyes again, her world would sway again. She swallowed thickly again, arm coming up to wrap around his neck to pull him to her shoulder and she pressed her cheek against his. Effectively blocking his view of Severus for the moment.
He would probably feel the fever she was running now, but whatever. Her hand tangled into his hair and she let out a heavy huff of breath against him. Her other hand, reached out to rest on Severus' knee, her thumb brushing up against it as she met eyes with him, silently thanking him.
Her brother was a pain sometimes. His Lupinisms got in the way of him thinking straight. But she loved him dearly regardless.
"I feel like..." she paused, thinking of a way that both of them would understand. "I just made friends with the whomping willow, in the worst way."
