RP: I don't feel good!
Date: 9 March 2006 Characters: Terry Boot, Ben Boot, Poppy Pompfrey (NPC) Location: Hogwarts Private/Public: Private Rating: PG Warnings: - Summary: Daddy isn't getting any better, and Ben is scared. And his tummy hurts and he's all itchy and he wants Daddy. :(
Ben was feeling very out of sorts. Daddy had been sick forever, and he hadn't even wanted to play pirates at all and it was making Ben very grumpy because he hadn't even seen Daddy all day. Dobby had played with him though, and Peevesie, but Dobby had made Peevesie go away when Peevesie had been too noisy.
"Ben's daddy is needing of his rest," Dobby said, which had made Ben pout and want to throw a tantrum, but he didn't because his arms and legs hurt even when he hadn't been running at all. It wasn't fair. Daddies weren't apposed to get sick, they were apposed to play and take care of their little boys.
Mostly Ben was scared cuz he was itchy now too, and he had spots on his arm and they itched really bad, and it hurt when he scratched them. He was afraid they'd be like Daddy's spots, and leak yucky gray stuff and blood all over the place, but they were just red and itchy. Dobby had brunged Madame Poppy to see him, and she'd made it better with something called an oatmeal bath, and then put pink stuff all over him. He'd tried to wipe it off, but it wouldn't come out, no matter how much he'd pouted over it. He wanted his Daddy to make it all better, but Daddy was sleeping or moaning all the time, or making throw up in the toilet, which was the ickies of all.
Ben sniffled back tears. He really, really wanted Daddy, or Ernie or someone to make him better. But Ernie couldn't come acuz he was sick too, and Daddy had said he'd gone to his 'state' whatever that was. It wasn't fair! He clutched Captain Blackmoor to him, and wondered if he could get Dobby to go get Ollie. Maybe Ollie could taked cares of him, but Ollie was prolly sick too. All the 'dults were sick, even Nana Minnie. Thinking about that made Ben cry, and he hid his face in his doll. He had to be a big brave boy now, but he didn't want to. He whimpered when he felt Dobby stroke his head, but soon the icky potions Madame Poppy had given him started to work, and he fell asleep.
