McKenzie frowned slightly before standing and without a word, scooped the girl up into her arms effortlessly. She managed to get the door open and exited the Great Hall, taking Faith back to their dorm with few detours. The common room was empty as it was still late in the night, which meant there was no need to explain the situation. McKenzie was honestly releaved. After entering their dorm, she set Faith carefully on the bed. "Do you need anything?"

Not unless you can conjure up a two-liter of 7-Up and some chicken soup. *She groaned as she made her way to the bathroom and retched in the toilet. She rinsed her mouth out and headed back to bed, crawling beneath the covers* Last thing I need now is the stomach flu. As if I haven't missed enough class already...

McKenzie watched with raised eyebrow as Faith made her way to the bathroom. She pulled out her wand and said with two swishes of her wand: "Accio 2-liter bottle of 7-Up. Accio chicken soup." She waited as Faith crawled back into bed, nodding in agreement about the missing school comment, for the items to come. A minute later, both the bottle and the soup came glidding through the window and into McKenzie's hands. She smiled and offered them to Faith. "Conjured as requested."

*Faith sat up and took the items* Smart a**... *She sipped the liquids slowly so as not to disturb her stomach again* I'd rather be dealing with you right now than Madame Pomfrey. I imagine she's tired of seeing me by now.

McKenzie smirked at the seemingly backhanded compliment and played off of it, if only because it would be as close to a compliment as she could ever get out of Faith. "I think you just like my charming personality and my good looks." She grinned and struck a 'I'm super cool' pose, hoping it might cheer Faith up, if only a little.

*Faith rolled her eyes at the girl, groaning as she felt her stomach beginning to churn once again* I'm not in the mood for a comedy act right now... *She said as she finished off the remnants of her soup and drink* What if it isn't the flu? What if...? No don't even think that Faith. You're probably just sick from all the stress you've been under.

McKenzie frowned, her shoulders slumping slightly as she sighed. Her attempts at making Faith feel a little better seemed to have failed. Badly. She watched the girl's eyes knowing what possible thoughts could be going though her head. She shook her head slowly, sitting down on the edge of Faith's bed. McKenzie put her head in her hand, staring at the blankly at the floor as she lost herself in thought, worried for Faith.

*Faith got out of bed, ignoring the pain in her knee as she hurried to the bathroom to throw up again. She sat on the floor, her head resting against the cool porcelain bowl. Her body trembled as a cold sweat ran down her skin. As she tried to stand her legs gave and she slid back down the wall to the floor*

A thump against the wall startled McKenzie from her thoughts. She huridley looked around, noticing Faith wasn't there. She frowned and stood, quickly making her way to the bathroom. She saw Faith on the floor, trembling and in a sheen of sweat. Her face became stern as she grabbed a washcloth, got it wet and then nelt before Faith, placing it on the girl's forhead. "You shouldn't be standing and walking around with your knee like that even if you have to spew." She looked Faith in the eyes, her face stern yet caring at the same time.

You rather I barf on the floor? *Faith asked in a husky voice. Her eyes rolled back as she was overcome with dizziness, feeling as though she were going to pass out right then. She began to tremble more violently as her insides felt like they were freezing, despite the fact that her skin was on fire with fever*

McKenzie's eyes widened in panic as Faith got worse and worse before her eyes. Without a second thought she scooped the girl up into her arms and ran with her, careful at corners so as not to hurt Faith. I don't care what she thinks about Madam Pomfrey, she's way too sick for me to handle, let alone go through it on her own. With recklessness thrown into the wind she darted through the halls making it to the infirmary in record time. She gave a shout anxious to have Madam Pomfrey there as she carefully set Faith down. It was a short minute later that the plump nurse came from behind a door in her sleeping gown, rubbing the sleep from her eyes.
What on ear-? McKenzie Wallace?! What on earth are you shouting about at these late hours?
McKenzie's words came out in a torrent of jumpled thoughts as she gestured at the very sick Faith. It wasn't long after that that she found herself shoved aside as the woman quickly went to work.

*After a long and thorough examination Madame Pomfrey stepped away* I don't know what's causing her illness. It's like her entire body is shutting down. There's nothing I can do to stop it. It's progressing by the minute. All we can do is try to keep her fever at a safe temperature. Start putting some cold rags on her, I'm going to call the headmaster. Maybe he can tell us what is going on. *She hurried down the corridor to Dumbledore's study*

McKenzie paled significantly at Madame Pomfrey's response, but she rushed anyway and got Faith some cold rags, placing them on the girl's forhead. Afterwards she found a stool to pull up beside Faith's bed so she could easily wet rags in a bowl of cold water as needed. Her eyes showed deep worry as she brushed away a locke of Faith's hair from the rag, muttering. "What's happening Faith...?"

*Madam Pomfrey returned shortly with Professor Dumbledore* I can't explain it Professor. It is as I said.
*Dumbledore leaned over the girl, placing a gentle hand onher forehead* I have seen this before. Her body is rejecting a pregnancy as though it were an infection. It is a characteristic common among... werewolves. *He said as he looked at McKenzie momentarily before returning his gaze to the Malfoy girl*
