Having heard their conversation, Ariana's head jerked up.
"Rydell has one of the stones, but I wouldn't have expected that from him." She said shocked.
"I think we need to focus on trying to find the sword as opposed to finding all the stones............... if we can destroy the green stone, well then we wouldn't have to worry about the other five because they were all made to work only when all six are placed together." She said...her voice was trailing off.
She felt a stinging sensation run through her fingers. She tossed the book across the table.
"Damn book!" She said. Her fingers now had burn marks on them, but it wasn't an ordinary burn, it was something in another language. Though it wasn't the ancient language.
She looked at her fingers. Each one had a letter inprinted in it. She grasped hold of her quill, her fingers still burned.
Quickly she wrote down the letters.
"Lintha Paro"
"Hey, will you two look at this." she said to Drake and Sonia.
Ariana seemed very distant from them..........she didn't feel quite herself.
"Well, there's no time to wait for Dale" Ariana said. "I will be okay. I don't want to go to Madame Pomfrey, she'll just lecture us for getting into shoes that are two big for us." "Maybe Li might now, she's a seer and all."
She felt exhausted and she passed out on the table.
Madame Pomfrey came in and tended to her. She did not notice the burns. She thought the girl had just passed out. She whipped up some pepper up potion and gave it to her through a shot.
Instantly Ariana was revived. She thanked Madame Pomfrey.
"Ariana, you have been studying too hard for your O.W.L.S." Madame Pomfrey said to her. Assuming that was the problem "It happens every year, you are the first this year though. Last year I had four patients suffereing from the same ailment.....I call it Bookitius." She said with a laugh.
"I want you to remain in here tonight." She told her.
"Yes, ma'am." She said, though she wasn't intending on staying.
"You just get some rest dear." She told her. "I am going to Diagon Alley to Mr. Mulpeppers to get some more antidote." "I shall be back in the morning to check on you." She told her.
Madame Pomfrey left the hospital wing and walked along the halls. She reached the main entrance and exited.
