Today Olive woke up unnaturally early, normally on a Friday she'd wake up just when class began and skipped breakfast in it's entirety, but today was different. Today she was on a mission. Walking arm in arm with her near and dear friend as if it were the most perfectly normal thing in the world for two students to get up this early (6:45 AM), Olive whistled as she walked with Daniyah into the nearly deserted Great Hall. There were some early birds already there, a few Ravenclaws with books sprawled out before them, and impatient gluttons who could not wait until the food appeared and stayed at breakfast for the entirety of its two hours, taking up every thing they possibly could. But she wasn't here for breakfast nor for catching up on studies. They were there for more important reasons. "Right here" she whispered to Daniyah and sat down at the precise seat that she had sat for the last four years of her life, Daniyah sat to her left and on her right was where her one true love always managed to sit. Olive placed a tender hand to the seat as she thought of Colin. Colin sigh.... "Okay" she tore her hand from the seat and returned to her friend "Does the EAGLE have the Package--- um. no.. the rat" she asked as if it were the most normal way to converse with your friend. The tables at that great hall were mostly bare, all except for the tableware, the food would appear 'magically' once the clock struck seven, which was precisely why they were there this early. Olive wanted to grasp that opportunity to add the secret concoction to the empty cup before he arrived. Daniyah Ohme ( James King , once we spike the cup you can pop in )

Daniyah usually rose fairly early. She wasn't the type to sleep in or drift idly in her mornings. Usually she would be at the Ravenclaw table chatting restlessly with her sleepy-eyed classmates and trying to convince them to let her borrow their notes before whatever exam threatened to ruin her day. However, today was a different day, and not one reserved for her own ambitions. Today she aided the longing of another, the sleepless sighs of unrequited love. Daniyah was friendly with Olive though she thought her to be a bit overzealous at times. Perhaps today was one of those times but she couldn't help but to feel sorry for the girl. Her dedication and loyalty was unquestionable, yet she seemed invisible and her efforts laid to waste. Daniyah didn't want the young girls love to spoil, to grow bitter and ferment like overripe strawberries. She deserved a sparking chance, even if that meant divine intervention.
She slid into the seat beside Olive and rummaged in her leather satchel for several seconds. "Olive, please, I cannot follow the code speak. Do be pragmatic in the affairs of love," she said with a wistful sigh, summoning the small pink vial she had been busy brewing for the past couple of days. "No more than a drop or two should do. Then he'll be yours for the day. Perhaps it will be the push needed to land within his good graces." Discreetly, she slipped the potion into the Gryffindors hands.

Olive couldn't contain herself, she clapped excitedly and grabbed the tiny vial hugging it to her chest before returning her gaze to her dear wonderfully amazing from Daniyah and sighed admiringly, without whom this would have all gone down oh so terribly wrong. "you're the best, did I ever tell you that?" she pined, "I'm going to get so many rats and put them down Dales pants just for you" and with that said and done she quickly began unscrewing the vial. one or two drops should do, was what Daniyah had said. and she obediently dropped one single drop into the empty goblet, then a second drop for good measure, just to make sure it worked out for sure. Ohhh how amazing it would be. To have Colin for hers for the entirety of the day, they'd go out into the quidditch pitch and play a game of PIXIE, the equivalent of 'HORSE', in muggle basketball, except at the end the loser ends up being slapped in the face by a pixie. Okay... maybe not 'romantic' in the normal sense but that was her idea of love/date... ish. Olive hesitated for a moment, she looked at the vial in her hand. If two drops would ensure a day of love.. then what of two more drops? What about the whole vial? Would that amount to a week of blissful days? "Oh look I think Roberts is coming this way to yell at you because hes an uptight twat who loves order" she pointed at a fellow Gryffindor girl in her year, Mable. The girl named 'Mable' could hardly pass as Dale's doppelganger, she was not only a girl, but also blonde haired, slim and tall. But Olive needed a distraction and Mable was the best she could get at this point. Olive seized the opportunity to quickly dump half of the contents inside the cup before Daniyah could notice what she'd done, "my bad.. that's just Mable.. she sure looks like Roberts at this angle" and with that said she recapped and replaced the vial into her bag innocently enough. Now that the clock had struck seven the food and drinks began to appear. Olive reached for the pitcher of pumpkin juice and poured some into her tainted cup, she then proceeded to pour some for Daniyah and lastly herself. Now all there was to do was wait..

James walked in Phoenixless with his robes on and his undershirt clumsily tucked in. He smirked as he looked around seeing the Gryffindor table walking to where Olive and Daniyah sat. Helios was back in the commons room going through his death process (no idea what to call it) James looked at Daniyah "Hey" He says curious but not paying much attention to it, "I could have sworn you were a Ravenclaw but what do I know. He says with a goofy grin as he sat down next to Olive.
"I hope you don't mind if I sit here," He pauses for a second "Well not really, I'm to lazy to get back up. He smirked and picked up the cup of pumpkin juice. He took a huge gulp slamming down half of it and shivered "I really wish I hadn't done that" He said a look of disgust on his face. He wasn't aware of the contents before drinking and now regretted it. "Guh" He says shaking his head. He looks around smiling taking a look at Olive, "Uh" He says his eyes wide

nooo
nooooooooo
"nooooooooooooooooo" she cried out loud as she watched big stupid head King drop into Colins seat and finish off every last drop of the spiked pumpkin juice. What was going to happen now? Was he... and her.. and... no Olive shuddered at the thought of that that big fat head being smitten with her. Unless Daniyah was horrible at potions and fudged it up. Yes yes... she reasoned to herself. Perhaps King would just suffer a explosive diahrrea or you know.. turn into a squrirel. Yes... thats right.. it was possible that nothing would happen. Nothing at all..
Olive looked at King with pleading eyes "tell me you're dying..." she turned to Daniyah "he's dying right? You accidentally mixed cyanide with it.. right... right???" she repeated frantically.
Did she really prefer King to die than to.. to.. love her. Yes.. totally, hundred percent. He had to die. And he would die....

He frowned as he got dizzy "Woah" He mumbled looking around, Everything was spinning around him and then he looked at Olive "Y-you look really" He was interrupted by a screech and Helios his large phoenix flying in flapping in his face and grabbing hold of his robes trying to pull him away from the girls. "Let me go Helios" He grumbled as he fought back digging in his robe for his wand pulling it out. "waddiwasi" He shouted as a small pebble hit the bird on the head making him let go and fly up.
James pointed the wand at him "Helios don't make me shrink you bird" He said frowning. The bird flew over to the table and eyeballed to to girls angrily as if to say "Are you daft" .
James frowned and looked at Olive "Now as I was saying" He said smiling at her. "You look quite stunning" He complimented the potion kicking in hard. as he now looked pale and sickly

Turning back around with a perplexed expression. "That's not..."
Dani's mouth hung open mildly. She wanted to look away. It was like a train wreck happening in slow motion as she watched James drink from the goblet that had been meant for Colin. Shifting uncomfortably she averted her gaze back down to the table. She didn't have the time nor the energy to brew an antidote for this... but she supposed she was at least partially responsible. As her mind jumped from quick fix to quick fix she let out an exasperated sigh.
"Well, at least it's just for the day," she said ruefully to Olive, eyes training tentatively on the now smitten James King. "You could always just... you know, deal with it like a practice run, right? So you'll be prepared to know how Colin will react and then you can decide if this is the route you want to go in to win his heart!" Daniyah suggested, turning the shit situation into a more positive perspective.

Olive chewed on her bottom lip nervously, casting her eyes down as Dani tried to console her. Riiiiiiiiiiiight Only a day. It would have only been a day if you'd only listened. she grumbled to herself. Stupid stupid Olive. Why'd she have to go and add more than the allotted dose? She glanced up at James who was staring at her stupidly, with his stupidly loving looks. "Oh would you quit it already" she grumbled and gave him a violent shove to distance him from her further. Just the distance alone was making her queasy. It was so.. so unlike him. He'd even cast off his stupid bird to talk with her and this was just the start. What was next? his clothes?!
Ugh... I'm gonna be sick.
"about that" she began hesitantly as she tried to find the right words to say 'I totally fucked this one up Dani, now haaalpp!' "Lets say.. hypothetically of course. More than one drop fell in... Like I dunno... half a vial just so happened to fall in." she gulped "that would also take like a day right?" she looked at her pleadingly..

"Hypothetically," Dani started slowly, as her mind raced through their options. It was hypothetical, right? So that meant they were fine! James was fine. All was dandy in the land of Ohme. She bit her lip and narrowed her eyes at Olive, her expression wavering from hopeful to downright miffed. "Hypothetically?"
And then she realized she was speaking to Olive. Of course this wasn't a case of what if's. Her stomach dropped dramatically and the multitude of emotions that crossed her expressive features. She steadied herself on the table and suddenly wished she had the ability to melt into the ground and never see the light of day. "Oh god Olive!" she exclaimed, covering her face in dread. "Olive no, why didn't you listen to me?! This is bad, so very bad! The... the results can be catastrophic. Don't you listen in your potions class?"
Dani of course knew the short answer to their dilemma, hence her incredible panic. The real answer was to take James straight to Professor Roy before he overheated and imploded or plain old dropped dead! However, on the other side of the spectrum, Dani felt unthinkably ill at the thought of ruining her spotless record. She would never make it to Ministry office with something like this on her file! Her Mothers would kill her! And Kai! He would be so disappointed in Daniyah after this. She would be the delinquent of the family. Kai might have been a trouble maker, but he never was an accomplice to poisoning one of his peers!
And then her face went blank. She lowered her arms and stared calmly at the top of the table. She took a deep breath through her nose and spoke again, this time the trepidation gone from her voice. "I can fix this. I think. Maybe. I just need some time."

Listen in potions class?? What?? whyyy why would anyone listen to that god awful class???
Seeing her friend freak out made Olive start to freak out and she felt herself falling, falling into the abyss. Really she was just sitting there feeling like her life was collapsing before her eyes, well, that was kind of the case wasn't it? No no no. She groaned inwardly. Too young to get tried for murder... she added thoughtfully. Yes yes.. fourteen.. much too young. But there was expulsion.. which meant she'd never be reunited with Colin ever ever again. He'd go on smoochin Layla and she'd be a castaway of society for all of eternity.
Daniyah began to get her calm back on which sort of came as a relief to Olive. For as long as she'd known her she'd always been the smart calm one and seeing her freak out quite frankly only meant that she'd screwed up big time.
"Yes! You can!!!" Olive clutched Daniyah by the sides and shook her, eyes of desperation bore into her skull... "You can fix this!!!"" she repeated.... you must fix this. Oh god but she needed time. They didnt have time.. or did they? Olive glanced at James who looked relatively well off in the sense that he hadn't already exploded..
"err... James? You uh... don't happen to be feeling alright and dandy.. right?" Olive nodded slowly as if speaking to an imbecile, which couldn't be helped, he looked quite stupid with that lovestruck grin. "No weird discomforts, No internal bleeding.. right?" oh why didn't you just listen to Dani she moaned. So stupid. So very stupid. But it was all James's fault. If he hadn't been so impulsive and grabby he would have been perfectly fine.

James looked at her cocking his head, First shoving him which had hurt a bit then asking him if he felt alright. "Uhm" He said confused then smiled. "Now that you mention it I feel kinda sick." He thought "But I thinks its cuz I just fell in love" He smiled and looked at the two worrying fro some odd reason. "Why whats wrong."
He looked Olive and smiled stupidly again before he turned three different shades of green at once. He looked around urgently and grabbed a cauldron filled with soup as he used it as a puking bucket. "Bleehhhhh" He excalimed as Vomit shot out of his mouth floating into the air making weird shapes that resembled hearts and mini cherubs. "Aww pretty" He said stupidly. Helios shook it's head and jumped to Daniyah locking eyes with her angrily as if to say "Fix him"
OOC: Sorry My school wont let me onto the pages with extreme language or something lol. Its stupid and I don't have internet at home rn

Penny just happened to be innocently walking by the gryffindor table - Lol, right, like Penny did anything innocently, let's just say she wasn't actively planning anything right at that moment - when some dude spewed up hearts and rainbows.
"Dude, you should get yourself checked out," she commented, making a mental note not to touch the pumpkin juice this morning.

"Oh sod off, you stupid fowl," Daniyah waved the bird away and stood up from the table, gently grabbing the puking boy from the back of the collar of his robe and yanking him up from his seat, offering Penny a withering look as she chimed in her two cents. "Olive, you need to hide this fool. Can't you take him to the Common Room? Or a broom closet? I need to head to the Library to see if I can find an antidote. There's no telling how long it will take, but it's better than the alternative," she spoke quickly as a woman with initiative so often did, leading James down the length of the Great Hall.
She halted suddenly, reading the archways that led out to the corridors and turned to her melodramatic friend. "I'm serious Olive. You need to make sure no one else sees him like.... like this."

Olive shuddered at the thought of having to spend any more time with him than necessary. Wasn't it bad enough that he was completely totally head over heels in love with her. Was that not painful enough?
"what do you mean?" she replied rather defensively, and took the opportunity to take a real hard look at James. He's smiling good clearly not in pain. Puking. but not vomit or blood. good. All in all he was pretty much okay. Olive saw no reason to have to spend any time 'watching him' or even dealing with fixing him, in fact, it would be better if they all just walked away and pretended like this didn't even happen. Right right right.
"He looks fine to me..." relatively. She began to fiddle with the sleeves of her robe as if it were the most interesting thing in the world, so black and sleevey and not in love with me. Sigh. "And ah.. don't listen to Lloyd. She says that to everyone 'you should get checked out' haha you know.. a joke" she nodded, only now taking her eyes off her sleeve long enough to cast a guilty look at Dani.

He puked once more this time a Unicorn running through the air. "Cool" He mumbled before he was pulled up by Daniyah. "Hey woah wait What's going on" He mumbled in confusion. He reached out for Olive. she's so pretty he thought to himself as he tried fighting Daniyah's grip.
He frowned as he began to feel dizzy. "guh" He moaned as he stumbled to his feet falling flat on his face. "Ow" He moaned quietly. "I fee funny". His skin had begun to start burning and his face was soaked in sweat. "uhhh" He moaned sickly and pale.
