Third floor. Hospital wing. Ah, there it was. This was Milton's first time here and it wasn't even for himself. It was for the kid who was passed out in his strong arms. Oakey. Poor bloke had passed out in Herbology. So, Milton, being the gentleman he was, carried the kid across the grounds and up to the Hospital Wing.

After he was signed in, Milton walked over to a bench and flopped the passed-out Hufflepuff into it. "There you are." And then he just stood there, stuffed his hands in his pockets and waited for the Healer to show up.

Alyssa wanted to run into the hospital wing to follow after Milton who was carrying Oakey but she forced herself to walk slowly. The last thing she wanted to do was to get in trouble with the Healer for running in her wing. So she quietly sat down next to Oakey and kept watch to see whether he was regaining consciousness. And as she watched, she waited.

Oakey was just sitting, doing nothing but sitting. His mind was adrift and there was no sign of waking. He wasn't very stable in the chair that Milton placed him in, his shoulders sagged and his head hung low. At one point he began tilting towards Alyssa, until he fell onto of her with his head laying on her shoulders. Pressing his scrawny 140 pounds against her.

Alyssa was sitting quietly waiting for the Healer to arrive when all of a sudden, Oakey tilted sideways and his head ended up lying on her shoulder....and then she felt his entire body leaning against her...along with all of his entire weight!!

She found herself sliding sideways herself and tried to keep her balance, but failed miserably and slid off her chair and onto the floor...which of course meant that Oakey continued to tilt sideways. She tried to grab him from tilting even further but in the process accidentally hooked his arm with her robe and now she could feel him falling forwards to her. If she didn't stop his fall, he would be landing on top of her.

This would be an awful time for the Healer to show up.

Sarah walked into the hospital wing, leaning on Ella. This is really pathetic. Climbing till the third floor was like a nightmare. Her stomach was almost dancing on the inside. She looked at Ella. Poor girl, she just fell on me and I'm crushing her now. Sarah filled the check-in form and slowly sat down on a chair, all with Ella's help. "Tired with helping me till here?" she asked. It was genuine. "I know I ain't any feather" she said with a smile. And now, we wait.

Ella couldn't believe how difficult it had been to get to the hospital wing. Who knew there were SO many stairs at Hogwarts?! Plus Ella couldn't help but notice how much pain Sarah was in and that was making this the hardest of all. She watched as the older girl filled out the check-in form and then helped to lower her into a chair very slowly. At her question, Ella felt herself smiling. "Of course not! It's probably the least I can do considering I'm the one who got you into this mess, yeah?" Ella and her clumsiness causing harm to the Hogwarts population...maybe she'd wear a sticker from now on that warned people to stay away. "And you're not that heavy...but how much do you weigh anyway?" The last part was a joke, remembering that Sarah had asked Ella the same thing, she thought it would amuse her. As for the waiting, that part would be tough, probably more so for Sarah who seemed to be in a lot of pain. "Yup, we wait. I hope I didn't break you." She said sincerely, looking at Sarah with a frown.

Alyssa managed to sit up in time and grab hold of Oakey's uncomscious body before he continued falling. She pushed his body back up and with one hand held it in position until she got back in her chair. Then she slowly removed her hand and let his body go. This time she was prepared if his body tilted sideways again.

And so she continued to sit beside him and wait for the Healer to arrive.

This is clumsy. Sarah sat down on the comfy chairs and watched Ella speak to her. She sort of giggled. "You don't go messing with the lions again" she said, jovially. "All aren't softies like me" she winked. It was fun with the girl. Sarah got her stress on 'that' and she rolled her eyes. "Whaaaa?" she threw her hands up. "I'm just 52 for merlin's sake!" Yeah, I wasn't that heavy. Was I? And she started laughing. The pain had subsided a bit, and she hoped it'd vanish before the healer could do anything big. Sarah waved her hand. "Nah, I wouldn't mind if any where broken" she said, "Saves me from assignments" They shared a merry moment.

Ella was relieved to see Sarah giggling without wincing. Maybe that was a good sign! "I've learned my lesson. No more messing with lions for this girl." She smiled, returning the wink. Ella began to giggle when Sarah told her how much she weighed. "Merlin, that much?" She said, feigning shock. After a moment, she smiled and shook her head. "Nope, that's not heavy at all." And she meant that. Sarah's attitude about possible having broken bones was surprising but endearing at the same time. The second year fancied having this girl as a friend, she definitely had the right attitude about things. Giggling, she nodded her head and waited for the healer to come out and get them.

At Alyssa's touch and push, Oakey's eyes blinked just for a second...or they seemed to. He sat upright and didn't fall. That's when he mumbled something aving defwaded da pants he aves da day. Then he was silent again. What a good dream Oakey must be having.

So much for a nice peaceful day in the infirmary. Hearing noise out in the waiting room Cece hurried out to see what was happening.

"WHAT is going on here?" She should have known it would be those blasted Puff!kids making all the noise.

Seeing as how Oakey seemed to be out if it she pulled the smelling salts out of her pocket and waved them under his nose. She then turned to Alyssa, "WHAT have you done to this boy?" That's right, she automatically assumed the worst of the girl. After all, she didn't have a very good track record with the healer.

She looked over at the boy just standing there with his hands in his pockets. "Are you a part of all this?" She asked waving her hand at the two puffs sitting there.

Merlin help him if he was the cause of any of this.

Alyssa quickly stood up when she saw the Healer approached. She was terrified but since she knew that she had not done anything wrong, she stood up tall and straight. "I'm sorry Madam Healer that we had to bother you. I honestly don't really know what happened." Alyssa paused to look at Milton.

"We were in the greenhouse working with Flesh Eating Plants when Oakey here fainted."Alyssa again looked at Milton hoping he would say something.

"Professor Bentley suggested that we bring him to see you."Alyssa told the Healer.

Milton was tapping his toes, rocking on his heels, scuffing the bottom of his shoes on the ground, waaaaiting for the healer to show up. At one point, he saw Oakey slump over, but he chose to ignore the small bit of chaos over there. It wasn't his problem.

When the healer finally showed up, she kinda flipped out before Milton could explain. He raised an eyebrow, smirking a little when the woman assumed that it was the girl who had done this to the puffer kid.

And Alyssa seemed to be doing a good job of explaining. Milton folded his arms and jerked his head towards the girl. "What she said. He passed out in Herbology so I carried him here." Being the strong, manly, caring, gentleman that he was. Humble, too.

Sarah nodded. Yes, no messing. She smiled when Ella said she wasn't that heavy. "Well it's sort of ideal" she said, "I stand tall at 5'5" She was indeed a lot tall. "If I'm any less than 50kg, I should be flying in air" she smiled again. This one was a delicate friend. The pain was now like a throbbing sensation. She held her mid-section and looked towards the healer's room. "So where do you come from?" she asked Ella. She wanted to know more about her new friend.

Ella looked at Sarah and gave her a small smile. "I'm from London." Glancing nervously at the door and back at her friend, she dropped her tone a bit. "As much as I want to keep talking, I think the healer gets angry if you're chatting out here...or so I've heard. I guess you can't blame her. The patients probably like the quiet." Or at least the healer did.

After doing his sign-in, Dylan made his way slowly into the waiting room. He'd been trying to talk himself out of coming here...but he just couldn't take the excruciating pain anymore. Putting any weight at all on his left leg was nearly unbearable...and as for his left arm, he couldn't even move it. Not even his fingers.

Something had to be broken.

It was like when he and his cousin had been climbing that old oak tree down in Georgia...Dylan had fell from the top of it, breaking his arm in two places. This pain match that and then some...

Merlin's socks, he just hoped they had a potion strong enough...because Dylan felt he might pass out from the sensation at any minute.

By the time the two super heroes had made it to the hospital wing, Nettie was in tears from the pain in her left shoulder. Sitting in one of the chairs Nettie tried not to move much for fear of making matters worse.

As she sat there, Nettie could only imagine what her grandmother would say to her if she was there. The tiny eleven year old hoped that there wasn't a letter sent home informing grandmother Julie of the super hero adventure that had went down. If anything, all she wanted in the end, even if it meant that grandmother Julie found out, was for the pain in her shoulder to go away.

Following closely behind Nettie, Allie entered into the waiting room of the hospital wing. Seating herself next to Nettie, Allie tried not appear freaked out about the injury of her best friend and fellow super hero. Maybe we should have took our capes off before entering... Allie thought to herself.

Oh no, what if we get in trouble! Her brain continued, that was definitely the last thing she needed. Especially since she was the good child of the family compared to her sisters.

Allie sat there, beside her friend quiet as an animal hiding from a storm and waited.

With a bucket in his arms Mr Leobald Kitridge, the librarian made his way into the hospital wing to see the healer. Over the course of the last few weeks he had been feeling pretty lousy and had vomited more than he would admit to his student visitors in the library. Leo had a feeling where his bad stomach had originated from but he wanted a medical assessment.

Slumping down into a vacant chair a few paces away from the youngsters he waited for Cece to come see him. He hadn't signed himself in at the wing desk because Leo honestly didn't want his sickness to end up in tomorrow's edition of the aparecium. With the bucket in his lap he closed his eyes as a new wave of nausea hit him.

That's it, Cece was convinced Max was getting too old to be teaching flying classes as well as being the quidditch official. How in the name of Merlin did he expect to keep teaching if he couldn't remember simple little things? She would be keeping an eye on that one. She didn't need him doing something silly that would end up getting the students hurt. The pixies at the last lesson had been bad enough.

After excusing herself from her office she made her way out to the waiting room where she knew she had a couple students waiting. Glancing over the sign-in book she noticed yet another one had joined the group.

Okay, time to get to work and get these kids out of here.

Going down the list of injured kids she started to call them back.


"Sarah James, Healer Tillstorm called out. Please head back to bed two." She looked at the girl sitting next to her. "Your friend can go with you, but keeping the chatting down. Any messing around and she will have to come back out here." If there was one thing Cecelia Tillstorm would not tolerate it was children acting a fool in her hospital wing.


Looking over the next entry in the book she couldn't help but roll her eyes. A SlytherClaw cart? Really? There better be a darn good explanation for this one. One that didn't involve goofing around.

Looking out at the only boy sitting there she called out to him. "Dylan Montmorency. Can you walk on your own to bed three or do you need me to levitate you?" Yes, she had noticed that he wrote down it was difficult for him to walk.


Looking at the last entry in the book Cece was none to happy about this one. Climbing a tree... really? She was pretty sure Waylon had posted signs around the grounds telling students to stay out of the trees. If they wanted to climb they should go to the playground, where it was charmed so there wouldn't be any injuries in case of a fall. Then again, it seems someone had already managed to get themselves injured at the playground.

Well Cece would be finding out soon enough what really caused this injury. "Nettie Wallace, you may head back to bed four... alone." There would be no friends going with this one. If she needed the other girl to interrogate as to what really happened she would call for her later.


Looking over the book one last time Cece didn't see any others signed in. However when she turned back to the waiting room she noticed one of her colleagues sitting there... with a bucket. Well this didn't look good.

"Professor Kitridge, you're not looking like your usual handsome self so well." In fact, he looked like he was about ready to spew chunks at any moment. "I think maybe you better follow me to the observation ward." It was private there so he wouldn't have to worry about anyone eaves dropping on what was going on with him.

Yeah, Cece knew from experience how nosy these students liked to be.

Rubbing the back of his neck anxiously, still attempting not to pass out from the pain, Dylan's eyes shot to the Healer's face. Gah, if he wasn't in a world of hurt, he could enjoy looking at her for a moment.

Yes, the older blond woman was a total babe...and the Slytherin was unashamed to admit he had a crush on her.

He couldn't focus on that right now, though. "No, ma'am. I can make it." Standing up with some effort, he started making his way to his assigned bed. It was nearly impossible to move any part of his left side...but Dylan would tough it out to preserve his dignity. He refused to be levitated like a toddler.

Ma'am?

He called her Ma'am!

That made her sound so OLD like Vindictus. Something she most certainly was not! "You can call me Healer Tillstorm. Save the ma'am stuff for the old other professors." You know, someone like, oh say... Professor Lafay. She looked old enough to be a ma'am.

Yeah right he could make it on his own. Cece wasn't blind. She could very well see the difficulty he was having here.

Moving so she was right beside the boy she put an arm around him. "Let me help you. I don't want you hurting that foot any more than it already is." If he refused to be helped this way then she would be forced to levitate him all the way back to his assigned bed.

News of the frozen students had travelled fast, as was always the case in Hogwarts. When he first arrived at the castle he was certain that news of his gorgeousness only took a matter of hours to work its way through the student body. He suspected even the staff had gossiped somewhat about his outrageously good bone structure and dazzling eyes.

However, when Elijah heard that Kurumi was amongst those frozen he got to work straight away. He sent an owl for the most expensive bouquet of flowers his mother would allow him to spend their money on (she was used to his... er... 'conquests' and despite their wealth she wasn't going to waste all their money) and his aunt had even made him a stuffed toy Jera rune just for him to hand over to her for a bit of personalisation.

Now, Elijah had only really spoken to Kurumi once in Ancient Runes, but they had hit it off quite well (as far as bonding on lies goes). Besides, she was somewhat attractive, and it wouldn't harm his reputation to have her round his arm, which she obviously desired considering her unbelievable flirtatiousness in the class. Elijah had been surprised Kurumi hadn't actually jumped his bones and snogged his face off. Perhaps if the Professor hadn't been there...

She totally wanted him.

And he only wanted her to know that he had been thinking of her. Girls loved that kind of mushy stuff. They loved gifts and being 'thought' about. He had attached a small card to the bouquet that read:



He thought putting 'much love' maybe was a bit strong, but he suspected that Kurumi would appreciate it all the more since she was a girl. Now to get these things TO Kurumi.

He entered the Hospital Wing and, upon seeing the Healer, walked up to her, "Hi Miss Tillstorm. I have a couple of presents for Kurumi and I was wondering if I could see her and give them to her. Despite the fact that she is frozen, i'm sure she would really appreciate my presence at her side," heck yeh she would!

Cece walked out to the waiting room expecting to see a room full of students rushing to find out what was going on with their friends. What she found though was one lonely boy,a boy who thought he was going to see Prefect Krummy. Yeah right, dream on child. "I'm sorry but there are no visitors allowed back there at this time." Unless he was the Minister of Magic this kid was not getting anywhere near that room. She didn't care how many flowers he brought, he was not getting back there. "If you'l like I can take those flowers and put them on the table next to her bed. I'm sure she will be as delighted to see them when she wakes up." As would that little boyfriend of hers that was in the bed next to her.

Oh the fun it would be seeing the suck up prefect try to explain to her boyfriend why another guy was bringing her flowers.
