Long Night. -open-

[dominique grace weasley]

The young blond and went over and put a hand on the first year student's forehead. He was a male and came to her early today complaining about throwing up and feeling faint. He was literally Victoire's first patient. All the other students who came in were faking to get out the first week of classes. Vikki once she noticed this brought out this nasty medicine, which she told them they had to take. Usually they didn't say a word they just left the Hospital Wing. A frown came across Victoire's face as the boy's face looked like he was in pain. Right now he was sleeping. It was around 9 in the evening but Vikki gave him some medication to let him sleep good for a few hours.

Victoire sighed as she left the boy's bedside. He should be fine by tomorrow evening. Sometimes when the younger students came they weren't used to all the viruses and germs that were around the school. The Weasley was sure more students would come in throughout the first month. Then maybe it will die down for a while. But then winter would be on its way. It would probably be never ending! Hopefully this wouldn't give Vikki early gray hairs. That would be wonderful. Who has eve seen a girl part veela with gray hairs?

As Victoire walked back into her office she made sure everything was the same. Books all over her desk, a bed that was still made, medicine cabinet locked and a lunch untouched. Yes everything was all good. For some reason Vikki was always now on alert. It was mostly because she knew there would be a death eater uprising soon and Umbridge was the Head of Hogwarts! That just didn't add up. It meant the Ministry was seriously corrupted and something bad was going to happen...again. When her two uncles and aunt died she knew that something even bigger was going to happen. That was just the spark. Now a real fire would begin.

As Vikki sat down at her desk she started to read the book, which she left wide open she began to read again. It was just another medical book. She was always reading these just to make sure she knew everything. She has already been to the school library twice checking out different books. Now since she had the library she was also checking books out on potions. Knowing the potions she could help out in a different range of injuries and possibly if anyone got poisoned.

However soon enough she heard the all too familiar sound of footsteps coming into the Hospital Wing. Victoire knew she had literally no time off now but it was better than doing nothing. This time she closed the book as she got up from her chair. She was just skimming it anyways. She walked into the hall where she would meet whoever walked into the Hospital. Most of the students were shocked when they saw such a young nurse. Some of them had an idea that all nurses were old and had the gray hair. Of course Vikki had neither.

[chaos]

Chaos stumbled down the hallway towards the Hospital Wing. Her night terrors were getting worse. She was unsure of what to do about it. Chaos was tired. She kept her eyes open. She didn't want to fall asleep again. Not anymore, she didn't want the pain anymore. She hadn't ever told anyone about her night terrors. Chaos didn't want anyone to worry about her, except for many Zachy.

She looked up and saw the nurse. Her head shook a little. "Help." Was the only word she could mutter. She knew she was going to fall out again. Chaos' face was pale and her eyelids were almost covering her brown eyes. Chaos fell asleep. The air choked her. She was screaming but didn't know it. No one can help you. Not anyone. Don't think they can The voice said. Chaos' eyes were in shock. She wanted it to stop.

[dominique grace weasley]

Before the girl ever muttered the words Victoire was quickly going toward her. She just didn't look right. The look in her eyes and how pale she was clearly sent a message to Vikki. This girl was sick. When she got to the girl the girl pretty much collapsed. She seemed to be dead tired. Victoire managed to keep most of the girl's body weight on her shoulder. For being small Vikki was a strong girl. Mostly from all the family she has had and how many games of Quidditch they told her she had to play.

And then all of a sudden this girl was screaming! Yet she was out cold. This sent another message to Vikki. It was something in her head that was causing this young girl so much pain. Sure she was shocked by the screaming but continued to lead the girl to a hospital bed. As soon as Victoire had the girl safely on the bed she ran to her office. This girl was definitely having horrible nightmares of some sort. So she was giving her pretty much a caffeine shot in medicine form. the exact name slipped her name but she knew it should keep the girl up for a while. Then maybe later Vikki could let her sleep and knock her out really good. So she didn't dream.

When Vikki went back over there she lifted the girl up a bit so she wouldn't choke on the medication. "Here. Its alright. Take this." Vikki said even though the girl appeared to be sleeping. she held the cup up to her mouth and got the medication in her mouth. Even if she was sleeping this would make her swallow it. Victoire stood back for a second knowing the girl would be up relatively soon.

[chaos]

The voices stopped. Chaos' eyes flickerked open and she shot up. Her eyes wide open. "I can't go to sleep again. I can't. Don't make me. Please." There was a beg in Chaos' voice. Her breathing was heavy. "They're going to kill me. I'm not crazy, I swear. Please help me." Chaos looked scared. Her mind was racing.

"I'm Chaos." She managed to say. "Why is this happening to me?" She pulled her knees to her chest. She clutched her head. There were rings under her eyes. She started rocking back and forth. "I have never been this scared before...what's happening to me?" She looked up at the nurse. "I couldn't breathe and I couldn't speak." Chaos' voice was shaking.

[dominique grace weasley]

The girl woke up quickly just how she knew she would. And before Victoire could even tell her to take it easy she was talking a hundred miles per hour. One thing for sure was this girl didn't want to go back to sleep. "Don't worry hun. I won't make you go back to sleep." Vikki said reassuringly. If she didn't want to sleep Vikki wouldn't make her. "I don't think you are crazy." she also reassured the girl. No. This girl had a problem. Something in which she wanted Victoire's help.

Now Victoire didn't know exactly what was going on with this girl. her uncle once in his life has a strange vision almost. He uncle Harry had a dream/nightmare of his godfather, Sirius Black, being tortured and killed by Voldemort. When Voldemort never even had him and just planted it in his mind. Vikki was sure this wasn't happening to Chaos since Voldemort was dead and no one has risen to that much power.

"Well I'm Victoire." the young blond told Chaos. Vikki felt like she was too young for the students to be calling her Ms. Weasley. Maybe if she ever became Mrs. Lupin she would make them call her that. Just so she knew she wasn't dreaming if she ever married her boyfriend. "Was it a nightmare? Or more vision like?" the nurse asked her patient. Since it was only Victoire's month working here she didn't know how the students acted and how the student's personality were.

[chaos]

Chaos was still rocking back and forth. The nurse's voice calmed her. She nodded her head. "Thank you." Chaos was calming down more. She wasn't speed talking anymore. "People think I'm crazy. I wake up, and I'm confused about why people are around my bed, or why I'm in the headmaster's office for 'causing a ruckus and disturping the peace.' And I don't have an explanation. I can't explain it. It's all so....scary." She stopped talking to take a breath.

Chaos looked around the room. Then back at the nurse. Victoire. "I like your name." Chaos said. She was calming down a bit more. "It wasn't like either really. I don't know. I saw nothingness. I couldn't breathe, I was being choked by nothing, but the nothing was talking. I just don't want it to happen again. That's why I can't fall asleep. I'll die. My friends sister did. And she was paranoid and then she told me and now I'm paranoid. And, I just can't go back to sleep. I try, but it just doesn't work. I'm so close to getting taken out of Hogwarts...I think. Please help me get rid of it. I haven't told anyone. I couldn't, I didn't want anyone to worry about me. Especially Zachy. I don't want him to know. I don't want to hurt him." There were tears running down Chaos' face. Her hands still at her head. Her fingernails were putting marks there. "It won't stop. They won't go away."

[dominique grace weasley]

Victoire listened to Chaos' explanation. It sounded pretty scary and something that she probably wouldn't wish onto someone. Well at least the girl was now calming down. Maybe if she remained calm long enough Vikki could think of the right medication to give her. She was thinking about giving her some sleeping medication. Something to really knock her out so she didn't dream. And then maybe give her smalled dosages to take before bed. Then finally take her off of them slowly. It could possibly be psychological.

"Thanks. It means Victory in French. My parents named me that because I was born exactly one year after the Last Battle. Everyone called me Victoria for a while. Yet my mother just wouldn't have that." Victoire said laughing. Sure she doesn't remember when she was called that but her family remained her. Because it was quite funny when her mother got angry. With the veela temper and all.

"Chaos what would you say if I gave you some medication that you sleep so deeply you won't need to worry about the screaming and the voices choking you?" Victoire wanted her opinion first and on what she wanted done. The caffeine shot she gave her would last a while longer but it could be shortened with sleeping medication. "You won't be sleeping right away. Slowly you will drift to sleep." Victoire added. She didn't want Chaos to be scared. Maybe promising her sleep with no choking or fear would help her.

[chaos]

Chaos listened. She was still a little paranoid. Her body was telling her to go to sleep but whatever Victoire had given her made her stay up. Chaos didn't mind that. "My parents gave me my name because I was born on July 4th. They said it was because it is a chaotic day and everyone wants to stay up to watch the fireworks."

Go to sleep.....No, No, I can't go back to sleep. Chaos thought. She shook her head. Her fingernails went deeper into her forehead. "No. I can't...I can't go to sleep." She shook her head again. "Find something else please. Just not sleep. I took sleeping pills, that didn't work either, they still came through." Chaos was rocking back and forth faster. "They won't go away. How can I make them go away?!" Chaos screamed.She looked up at Victoire. There was a passion for getting rid of the voices in her eyes. But there was also a sadness. "What if I die? Then what? What will happen then? I can't die. I can't. Please help me."

[dominique grace weasley]

Most people Victoire knew didn't know why they were named what they were named. Of course that was different with the Weasley family. Everyone was pretty much named after someone else who has either passed or was important. Vikki smiled when Chaos told her how she was name. "That is a pretty hectic day." she had to admit. And it sure was. Every year since she was born the fourth of July was big. When Victoire was twenty when she went to America for the summer. And it was even more chaotic there on the 4th. But it was still fun to watch all the same.

This girl worried Victoire to the core. She was afraid of dying because of the voices she hears when she is asleep. Victoire studied medicine for many years even taking extra classes when she had graduated. Nothing in any books talked about voices killing anyone. Especially when there was no one there. "Chaos when did this start?" Victoire asked thinking that was a good way to start. "What are you afraid of? Besides going to sleep. I won't let anyone harm or kill you." she told Chaos promising her that. No one would get her while Vikki was watching over her.

[chaos]

"Yeah. When ever I write something, most of the time, I sign 'a storm is coming' at the end of it. It's kind of funny. But, then again, I also get blamed for like, anything bad that happens anywhere, like a hurricane or something." Chaos was rocking slowly again. Her face was still pale. But, the color was coming back.

"I don't know. I guess around the age of five maybe. I'm sixteen now. I used to have hands prints on my neck, but they're not as visible now. I used this cream that my Mom got me. When they first started, I was sent to a doctor, well a lot of doctors. They all said I was schizopherenic and sent me home. It's like they didn't even. They just ruled me as crazy and didn't even try to do anything about it. And they said the marks on my neck were from abuse. Which they weren't." Chaos paused when Victoire asked her what she was afraid of. "I'm afraid of...well..." Her voice trailed off. Chaos started crying."I'm afraid, of the voices, I can't ever say a word, but, when ever I fall asleep around Zachy, he's most of the time, always holding my hand, and the voices don't come. I'm afraid of doctors, who poke me with needles to do a bunch of tests to find out what's wrong with me. I'm afraid of darkness, I'm afraid of why Zachy is avoiding me right now. I'm afraid that someone will find out that there is something wrong with me, and send me to an asylum. I'm just, afraid." Chaos' head went down into her arms.

[dominique grace weasley]

Victoire honestly thought this girl might be crazy. It seemed like she was. And she has been to other doctors before her. And since Victoire has obviously not seen everything in the medical profession. She probably didn't have a better guess than those other doctors. C'mon she wasn't working at St.Mungos where the doctors specialized in certain areas. She had to take brief classes in everything and even had to have more patience than them. Vikki had to work with children from age eleven to seventeen with any illnesses at all! So she had to know a little bit about everything. Then she even had to take care of the other teachers around the school!

As she listened to Chaos more she really wanted to be the one to help her. Everyone else had failed and now Vikki didn't even know why she thought those negative thoughts before. It wasn't like her at all! "Well to have any ideas at all what this might be from? Any traumatic experiences when you were young? Any sudden illnesses? Anything you can't remember?" she asked the young girl with some basic questions, which may help. Who knows? Maybe Chaos might say something that she didn't even know was a symptom of some sort.
