Chapter 84 - Mensis (2/2)
”Now hurry up and change, Rowan,” Bethanie said as she grabbed her wand from her bedside desk.
Pointing her wand at the bed, Bethanie says, ”Tegero!” The red stains disappear from the bed and off of Rowan's closes as she tightly keeps her legs shut as she creeps out of bed.
”There now,” Bethanie said in satisfaction. ”Do you know what to do, hon?”
”I know,” Rowan replied in embarrassment as she grabbed a change of clothes and a pad, before rushing into the girl's bathroom.
”What's going on?” Tiffany sleepily asked as she rubbed her eyes open.
”Rowan's a woman, now,” Silvia drily said.
”Does anyone still have any pain draught's still left?” Bethanie asked.
”Nope,” Silvia said with a shrug. ”Tiffany and I had ours two weeks ago, while yours was just last week.”
”Mm,” Bethanie muttered as she bit her lips. ”It's just that we have exams bright early this morning and it might take Madam Pomfrey some time to brew a potion for the pain. Do you think anyone else would have one on hand?”
”Maybe,” Silvia said. ”But would they willingly give theirs up? Besides, we don't want to go around announcing it either.”
”Well, I suppose we will have to make do with chamomile or peppermint tea served at breakfast,” Bethanie mused. ”But it would be best if we actually had moon tea for her cramps.”
”Ug, the first time's the worst,” Silvia recalled. ”Trying to get used to it and then figuring what works best, ick.”
All three girls solemnly nod their head in agreement as Tiffany squeaks, ”I hope it's not some kind of omen.”
The three girls shiver as Bethanie quickly says, ”Well, no matter, we best get ready ourselves.” The three of them hurry off to change as Rowan emerges with a pale face and bright red ears.
”That was so embarrassing,” Rowan thought to herself. But at the same time, it was a relief to find her roommates to be so caring. Looking at the time, she gently rubs her belly and tries to not hunch over from the pain.
”What I wouldn't do for some painkillers right now,” Rowan thought to herself, before another thought occurred to her. ”Do painkillers even work on witches and wizards?” Either way, she'd make a personal note to find out come summer.
