Supposedly, it's called 'whooping cough' because the sufferer is 
shaken by loud coughs that sound like heesh is whooping. Its fancy 
name is pertussis. I am horrified to hear that you have a somewhat 
serious disease and I hope you get better right away, but WHY weren't 
you vaccinated? Diphtheria-Pertussis-Typhoid (did I remember right?) 
is one of the most common vaccines.  

Shipping Roll Call - I like:
McGonagall/Hooch
Draco/Pansy (with Severus on the side)
Bulstrode/Crabbe & Goyle
Fred/Angelina
George/Katie
Harry/Ron
Hermione/Ginny
