She did not want to feel like this, and she certainly did not want to hiss at people. she hoped the healer would arrive soon.
Upon entering the room, Gabriella immediately spotted the Gryffindor girl---er, cat---perched on a table and hissing at poor Kiri Starstalker. Realizing that this situation called for more immediate attention than Kiri's flu, Gabriella headed over towards Herminny first.
She'd never actually dealt with transforming humans
back to humans before, but she'd studied the situated lots of times while in Healer School. As she grew closer and closer, she swished and flicked her wand, shooting a non-verbal charm right towards Herminny. A moment later, the girl was bound to the table by an invisible force. It wouldn't hurt her, of course. It'd just prevent her from repeating what she'd just done.
There was no potion on hand that would help Herminny in this transformation. Gabriella would need to mix several different phials together plus add a few more ingredients to get the concoction she needed. She set to work doing this, hoping it wouldn't take long at all.

As they entered the room, Kiri spotted Annie - what she'd been here for, Kiri didn't know, but her treatment appeared to be concluded. "Hey Annie," said Kiri, jumping onto a bed and nearly missing as her blurry vision made her misjudge the distance from the edge. The cat girl (what was her name... Herminny something, right?) was in a pretty bad mood, hissing at Annie as she passed. Kiri didn't pay any attention.
Instead, she sneezed. Twice. Three times. Ugh! Grumbling to herself wasn't nearly enough of an outlet for her annoyance - she needed to be well again as soon as possible - but it would have to do. Yelling and shouting in the Hospital Wing was probably not a good idea.
When the nurse entered, Kiri smiled and waved at her weakly. She pointed at the cat girl wordlessly - the healer could take care of her first. Kiri's flu wasn't going anywhere, after all; it was only her nose that was runny.
While she waited for a few potions to brew into a nice mixture, she retrieved a bottle of Pepperup Potion and made her way over to Kiri. On second thought, though, the flu would call for three doses of the potion, not just one. Knowing this, she turned back around and retrieved two additional phials.
"Good day, Miss Starstalker," she greeted, approaching the girl with a smile. She imagined Kiri didn't feel well at all, but Gabriella always liked to offer a smile anyway. She found that it often times helped her patients feel just a tiny bit better, even if only in spirit rather than health. A quick examination told her that Kiri definitely had a case of the flu---not too severe of a case, but a case nonetheless.
"The cure lies within three doses of Pepperup Potion, but the thing is, they can't all be taken at once. I'll give you a dose now, then when that's had time to settle, you can take your second dose," she explained, passing over one of the three phials.
"You can stay right here while you wait for each dose to take effect. It won't be long at all." Quote:

"I sort of fear heights, like my cousin...so as for right now, I think I should get rid of that before getting on a broom..." The end, she was so embarrassed. Heights, her fear?! What was with Annie now?
Minute by minute, even second after second the potion made Annie feel out of stress, her forehead was not so warm anymore, now it was normal temperatured. "Thank you..." Annie said, for the un-numbered time now. She didn't know, at the moment how to thank her. She stood up from the examination bed then smiled at her saviour. Yes, saviour. Because of her, Annie was not going to spend her Christmas break sick.
"Thank you, Ms. Ashford..." Again, she said it and walked out of the room. And how weird, she had not run away, like most times at the Muggle doctor appointments.
Gabriella glanced in Annie's direction, giving her an apologetic look as she did so. The fear of heights, especially for a witch, couldn't be easy to deal with. Not wanting to bring up a possibly touchy subject too much more, Gabriella switched the topic of their conversation to something much more pleasant.
"Well, I'm glad you're feeling better, Miss Robles. Being sick is certainly not fun at all," she said. The corner of her lips curved up into a smile when Annie thanked her.
"You're quite welcome, dear."
