So, Noa, as usual, was being insane. She put on her favorite blue shorts and her favorite gray t-shirt and left the commom room early that morning. Well, okay, it wasn't really early for most people, but eleven o'clock on a Saturday was early for her. She'd gone to breakfast, and then gotten a couple of friends to come out with her to the Quidditch Pitch. They, of course, went. Noa had dug around in the storage closet thing out there for a few minutes to find what she needed, grabbed it, and made her way back to the small group of people clustered in a small group. Noa triumphantly held up the old Comet that no one would ever missed, waving it in the air as if she had just won the Triwizard Tournament. Then, she hexed the broom.
She barely rememberes what she did after that, let alone the hex she used, but she sure used it, got on the broomstick, and started to fly. And then the hex kicked in, and ultimately, kicked Noa off the broom from a height of at least five stories. She fell, fell, fell, until she hit the ground and heard a sickening crunch. Then she blacked out.
When she woke up, she was in the hospital wing, a blanket tightly wrapped around her, her leg in a splint. The nurse told her she had already started to mend the leg, but Noa was going to have to stay there for the rest of the weekend. Great! Now her entire weekend was ruined because of a little stunt she pulled? So not fair.
Noa sat grumpily propped up in bed, her arms crossed over her chest. She was mad at the entire world, when she should have been mad at herself.

Robyn walked back into the Hospital wing after talking with a bit of the others that were out there when Noa fell off her broom. They had all agreed that was a pretty stupid thing to do... especially for someone who was supposed to be smart. But that was just steriotypical Ravenclaw. The others left still a bit shaken, promising that they would come by and visit Noa in the Hospital Wing when she woke up. Robyn decided to stay. Saying goodbyes to the rest who were already planning on going to go hang out by the lake. Making sure to invite her to it if she left the Hospital Wing anytime soon. Robyn Promised to go if she did leave early before waving one last time and then opening the doors to the Hospital wing to let herself enter.
Walking deeper into the Hospital wing she noticed Noa was awake. With a smile appearing on her lips she rushed forward to sit beside her bed. She had noticed Noa's leg was in a splint. She was positive Noa would definitely not be happy about that and was actually expecting her to be in a foul mood. "That was perhaps one of the stupidest things you have ever done." Robyn commented as she sat down and frowned at Noa's facial expression. "How long do you have to stay here?" Robyn asked looking around at the empty Hospital wing. It was quite funny that Noa was the only one that occupied a bed in the Hospital Wing. She doubted anyone would have done anything to land themselves in the Hospital Wing this early in the year.
In fact, she hadn't expected anyone to. But there was her friend. Already occupying the bed she had booked the moment she decided to curse that broom. Robyn shivered slightly. She never liked watching anyone fall from their brooms, no matter what height. Noa fell quite some height. But thanks to her and one of the other girls they had managed to slow down the fall a bit. Obviously not enough as she fell hard enough to get nocked out. "I still can't believe you did that." Robyn snorted now seeing the funny stupid side of it herself. She looked at her friend with amusement dancing in her eyes and obviously for her trying to fight back a grin. A smile was okay, but a grin at the moment was asking for trouble.

Noa smiled faintly at her friend as she came by her bed. Robyn was the only one there and Noa was glad for the company of her best friend. She continued her grumpy air, though. Robyn commented on how stupid that stunt was, and of course, Noa had to agree. She nodded her haead grudgingly and sighed. "I know. But it was pretty fun! Y'know... before I fell off a broom." Then Robyn asked her how long she had to stay there, and that just reminded her just how mad she was. She threw her hands up above her head, exasperated. "The whole rest of the weekend! I have to miss everything!" Noa was one for partying and hanging out with friends, and weekends were the only times she allowed herself to stop studying and do so, and this was a little bit of a hinder. "Where'd everybody go, anyway..." Noa wondered out loud, her blue eyes searching the room.
Robyn was right, of course. It was stupid of her, and she'd landed herself in a bed for two whole days. Plus, she was the only one in the dang Hospital Wing, so this was bound to get lonely. Robyn told her she couldn't beleive Noa had done that, and Noa couldn't help but smile. "Really, you can't beleive I did that? I think it's pretty beleiveable!" Noa picked up the amusement in Robyn's eyes, and the urge not to start laughing. At first, yeah, Noa was annoyed, but after a second of watching Robyn struggling with herself not to laugh, Noa herself started to giggle. She was practically rolling. "Oh, wow," she said, trying to catch her breath. "I guess you're right. I think I may be the stupidest Ravenclaw there ever was!"
Noa really pulled crap like this all the time. One time when she was little, she'd climbed to the top of the hundred-year-old oak tree in her backyard and jumped off on purpose. She'd let a Monster Book of Monsters snap around at her for a time when she was in her thrid year. She even once turned her wand into a snake. How she'd managed to get out of that one was still to be discovered.

Robyn smiled slightly as Noa spoke of the cursed broom ride being fun. She could honestly not see the fun in that. Maybe the curiosity of the experience, and the humor of someone else's actions. But to think it fun herself. Well, she personally didn't think it was worth it to do that, and then end up in the hospital wing for Two day. Especially, on the weekend. That was everybodies time to unwind. It seemed Noa would have to spend hers pretty much taking potions and recieving check ups every so often from the always paranoid nurse. "You couldn't have been on that broom for more than a few seconds." Robyn told her, remembering more of the stunt. "But was it what you expected?" Robyn asked curiously. She had to ask, she was curious and wanted to know the answer. And either Noa would have to tell her before Robyn decided to go find out herself, or trick someone else into doing it. Just so she could get her answers. She could be persistant at times.
"I'm not going to lie. You will miss a bit." Robyn told her truthfully. "But not that much. You still have the rest of the year." Robyn amended quickly, not wanting to fire up her friend more than she already was. "And as for where the others went." She started once more, remembering back to the conversation they had had outside the Hospital Wings doorway, just a few moments ago. "I think they're off somewhere by the lake. But they promised they would come visit you soon." She said patting Noa's arm lightly. "You haven't been forgotten. We won't leave you to be locked up in this... place." She shuddered slightly. She coud not handle places like this. So clean and bright as it was supposed to be. "And we'll make sure not to forget you." Robyn smiled at her.
Robyn returned Noa's smile. "Ok. I'll admit. I can believe you did that." Robyn corrected herself with a bright smile. Letting out a slight laugh she shook her head animatedly. "I just can't believe you actually did it!" Robyn continued trying to hold in the laughter. Only to let out a bit of it as she could now see Noa was seeing the humorous part of that. The laughter exploded out of Robyn, quietly at first and then louder still in a slight way, that showed Robyn was trying to calm it down. After a while she did manage to calm it down. "I wouldn't say you're exactly the Supidest Ravenclaw." Robyn shook her head still laughing at her friend. "But you probably do have the oddest ways of expressing your intelligence and thirst for... odd knowledge." Robyn lifted an eyebrow, now realizing as she thought back. That it was true. Noa had odd ways of expressing her knowledge and her thirst for it. She could still see why she was placed in Ravenclaw. "You are too strange." Robyn laughed a bit more before looking back at Noa.

Noa tried not to be so hysterical, and after a while, she calmed down a bit, but she was still smiling. "Don't worry. I don't think anybody could forget about a stunt girl. They'll be back," she promised Robyn more than herself. "I'll cause more trouble later this year. I promise." She winked. Noa wasn't one to pull one stunt at the very beginning of the year and then just cut it out once she got hurt. She'd keep going and going and going, until summer, when she would go home and take care of the kids. Then she'd come back next year and do it all again. Robyn was wondering, intensly, why on earth Noa would want to hex a broom. Noa had to be honest, she didn't really know. "I'm not sure," she answered her friend, shrugging. "I guess I just wanted to see what would happen. And I guess I found out, didn't I?" She sighed wistfully, thinking once again about the lost weekend.
Robyn was right, of course. Noa was a little tiny bit insane. She would do anything to quench a thirst for information and she was really curious. Sometimes Noa herself wondered how she was in Ravenclaw. She acted more like a crazy Gryfindor. Then again, she was a writer, and she concentrated really hard on her schoolwork. "Y'know, sometimes I wonder if I shouldn't be in another house... like... I dunno. Just, I'm too weird for Ravenclaw," she chuckled out the last part. Then Robyn told her she was too strange. "Yeah, right, as if I need you to tell me that!" she joked, smiling. "I need you around so I don't accidently... let's say hex a broom and kill myself!"
Noa was already starting to feel claustrophobic and restless in this place. She hated the cleanliness. She hate hate hated it. Her room was always messy. Her area in the dorm was always messy. Where she sat at dinner was always messy. This place was white and clean and the brightness was hurting her eyes. "What is wrong with this place?" she wondered out loud, twirling her hair around her index finger. "Why on earth would anyone make a place so... clean?"

"I think I have to agree with you." Robyn grinned at Noa. No one could really forget the girl who loved to do stunts. "And yeah, They'll definitely be back. So no worries about that." She said sure on that matter. "And if you don't cause trouble this year, I will know something is terribly wrong." She laughed lightly, knowing Noa would be true to her word. She couldn't wait for the things that everyone who liked to do pranks could come up with this year. It would be an eventful year, and that was something that was a must. Otherwise, How else would they survive being locked in a School to just... Learn. It would be apalling. No one could survive like that for too long. But she brought her attention back to the hexed broom. "You sure did find out what would happen." Robyn chuckled shaking her head slightly.
"Trust me. You cannot be too weird for Ravenclaw." Robyn assured her friend. "But you are daring enough to be in Gryffindor. I'll admit that." She spoke honestly. "And besides. Ravenclaw seems to harbor the weird people. They think academics more important than... say. Hanging out." Robyn grinned, knowing the steriotyping she just did would probably get a reaction from Noa. "And besides." She started once more. "We both know it's Cam who makes me remind you to not kill yourself." Robyn grinned. "He's the down to earth one... though, I'm right there with him." She said with a wide smile on her face. "I should probably make Cam come with us a bit more... What with you being more daring than ever." She grinned mischeviously.
"Maybe because it's required." Robyn said almost pained. It was very unpleasent to stay in a place like this. She hated being in here herself when she was admitted into the Wing. "And we both know how rule obsessed she is." She rolled her eyes slightly. "What you need to do is get well so you can get the bloody hell out of here." She said frowning slightly. "I dunno how long you might keep your insanity being stuck in a place like this. I'm worried." She finished joking slightly, but you could hear the concern for her friends happiness in a place like this.

Noa listened as Robyn startd talking about Ravenclaws, and most of which she was saying was true. "Wait. What?! You know I would much rather hang out than do homeowrk! Homework is boring. Sitting in a chair all day long when it's nice and pretty outside, but no! You have to have your nose stuck in a book!" On one level, Noa was joking around, but the sterotypes people gave Ravenclaws were not plausible most of the time. Take, well, Noa, for example. She was the craziest person she knew. "You're right." Noa sighed. "If it wasn't for your brother I would probably be being scraped off a sidewalk somewhere in London. Sometimes I wonder why he always ruins our fun, and then other times, I owe him my life!" Even though Robyn didn't know it, Noa had a tiiiiiny crush on her brother. Okay. She had a MAJOR crush on her brother. But it didn't matter, because she would never do that to Robyn.
Noa nodded along as Robyn complained about the white, scary-clean room. Noa could tell her friend was a little concerened. Noa in here was like a bird in a cage. "Don't worry about me. I'll be fine. I'll sleep most of the time I'm in here, and it is only a couple of days. As long as I see your pretty face, I'll be good" she joked, winking at Robyn. "Just tell me if I miss anything important in class." Noa closed her eyes for a second, already echausted at the thought of all the makeup work she'd have to do.

Robyn laughed good naturedly at Noa. “Goodness Noa!” She exclaimed with a bright smile on her face. “I think I know you would much rather hang out with Moi and the others than stay in a room and pour over books.” Robyn grinned. Amused that what she had said had caused a reaction from Noa. She smiled as Noa spoke greatly of her brother. Robyn felt the same way. Where would she be now if she didn’t have her brother with her the majority of the time. “Guess You do Owe him.” Robyn grinned at Noa. “Makes you wonder how hard it is for him not to join in on the fun sometimes.” She said thoughtfully. “I have to give him props though. That boy has some self control.” She said fondly. A thought strayed into her mind then. “Oh, and He said he was coming to check up on you later.” She told her. Cameron had told her that while a group of their friends had been standing outside the hospital wing. After all. It had been Cam who brought her in.
“And don’t you worry about seeing my pretty face.” Robyn grinned at Noa. “I’ll be here everyday to see your pretty little face… ya know. To make sure you haven’t gone insane or anything.” Robyn said lightly. “And yeah, I’ll let you know if you miss anything in class.” Robyn noticed a miniscule change in how Noa had been moments before. “I’ll bring it to you everyday so you won’t have make up work or anything.” Robyn told her. Knowing first hand how it was to be swamped with a lot of school work because you were in lock down at the Hospital Wing. The feeling was one of strong procrastination and laziness. “It would suck if you had everything thrown at you in one go.” Robyn said speaking to Noa and herself at the same time.
