Despite the fact that she was a healer and had seen a fair amount of disastrous cases, even Gabriella wanted to shed a tear for poor Alexandra. She gently patted the girl on her good arm, saying, "You'll be just fine, Miss Kennedy. I'll have you back and better than ever in no time." The corners of her mouth tugged up in a tiny smile---the tiniest she could muster, but a smile, nonetheless.

The next few minutes passed in silence as she began to heal Alexandra. With her wand, she casted a few spells to close the gashes. At least someone---Kapoor, she guessed---had thought to put dittany on a few of the gashes. She cleaned away the blood before heading on to any other injuries.

She cleaned around Alexandra's eyes and spread a little ointment on the injured areas. The swollen eye would have to heal on its own in all good time, but Gabriella could give Alexandra a potion to take in the meantime. Lastly---the girl's feet. Gabriella studied them for a moment before deciding what to cast. In the end, she went with a spell to make things shrink, but she'd tweaked it so the shrinking would stop when the feet got back to their normal size.

"Your swollen eye and arm will heal in time, but I'm going to give you a potion to take in the meantime. It'll help with strength while you wait for the swelling to go down," she explained. She passed a phial of liquid towards Alexandra and nodded for her to drink it.

Alexa winced as the Healer did her job, healing gashes and shrinking her feet. Her eye was the main concern and the HEaler said it would get better over time. She nodded and took the potion down in one gulp. It tasted kind of yucky and burned a little on the way down. She looked at the Healer and said, "Do I need to take off the blanket and turn around so you can get to my back? It hurts worse than anything really." SHe was pleased that the pain in her face and arm were easing up but her back was still throbbing and it felt as though blood was still flowing.

Gabriella simply shook her head in reply to Alexa's question. "I've actually already worked around the blanket and closed the gashes on your back. If it's still hurting, I can give you a potion to help with the pain," she answered. If Alexa was still hurting, though, the healer would at least check things out to make sure there were no extra wounds.

She gently pulled the blanket away and examined the previously closed wound. It was still sealed, but there was a little extra leftover blood. Gabriella cleaned it away then placed a bandage around Alexa to prevent any additional bleeding. "I believe the pain is associated with having just been injured, as I don't see any other openings. I'll get that potion for you." She turned from the bed and returned a moment later with a phial of liquid.

After being levitated nearly unconsious to ward 3 and set on a bed Jacklyn Caroline was knocked out.

Alexa sniffled and said, "Yes, ma'am it does hurt." She took the phial from the Healer and drank it down in one gulp. Instantly she felt the pain leaving her body... but she felt rather dizzy and a bit drowsy. "Th-th-thank you Healer Ashford," she mumbled before starting to cry again.

Gabriella smiled a little when Alexa drank the potion she'd been given. It was a Strengthening Potion, so it should have her back and better than ever in no time. "You're welcome, dear. I realize you must still feel a little drowsy now, but the potion I just gave you will help with both pain and strength. You should be feeling better in just a little while," she explained. Although, now that she thought of it, having someone assist Alexa back to her Common Room may not be a bad idea. "I tell you what. I'll help you back to the waiting room, then we'll contact one of your housemates to come and walk with you back to your common room." Gabriella put one arm on Alexa's back then guided her out the room and towards the waiting area.

When she returned a moment later, she headed straight for the bedside of Jacklyn Silver, a Slytherin girl who was in here for several broken bones. Gabriella chose to heal her broken bones before she tempted to revive her strength. Sometimes the students dealt with the mending of broken bones much better while they were half-unconscious then they did when they were fully awake.

It took Gabriella quite a while to piece together the broken bones. There was a series of snaps and pops heard, which indicated Jacklyn's bones were moving back into place. Gabriella sort of hated the sound the bones were making. Sure, it meant Jacklyn was getting healed, but at the same time, popping bones could really turn a person's stomach.

When the last bone was moved back into place, Gabriella retrieved a Strengthening Potion, a potion that would help Jacklyn regain her strength and consciousness. She placed one hand behind the girl's back and gently urged her forward. "Miss Silver? I need you to drink this potion, please," she softly said.

Alexa sniffled and tried to smile at the Healer, but her face still twinged a bit so she simply nodded slowly. "Yes, Ma'am. I am sure I can find someone to help me back," she said in a quiet tone as the Healer led her into the waiting room

Jacklyn Caroline woke up feeling better but weak. She takes the potion she is given and drinks it slowly. She regains her stregnth little by little but still doesn't feel the best. As soon as she finishes drinking she says, "Thank you." then lays back down.

"You're welcome. I gave you a Strengthening Potion, which will help you regain your strength and energy in a matter of minutes. You should start feeling better in no time," she explained. Although the potion took a minute or two to take effect, it'd most definitely give the girl her strength back. "You're free to leave now. Head back to the common room and get some much needed rest, too, mmkay?" As she spoke, she headed towards the door, knowing there were a few students in the waiting room she needed to take care of. "Since I've given you all the necessary medication needed to heal you, I'm going to head back to the waiting room to check on a few other patients. Have a good day, dear." On that note, Gabriella turned and left the room.

"Thanks," I said as I regained my stregnth and ran off to my common room.

Gabriella gave the little Slytherin girl a smile and a nod. "You're welcome, Miss Silver. I'm glad to see you're feeling much better," she remarked. With both girls---Alexa and Jacklyn---now healed, Gabriella was done with all orders of business in room three. The waiting room had been empty when she'd last been in there, but who knew what it looked like now. For all she knew, it could be completely full by this time. Grabbing her clipboard off the counter, she followed Jacklyn out the door.

A few moments later, the click-clacking of heels indicated that Healer Ashford was near. Sure enough, a second or two later, the door to room three opened and the healer stepped inside. She thought about greeting the girl lying before her, but she thought better of it. The girl was severely hurt, which left no time for small talk.

Raising her wand into the air, Gabriella first sealed together the split in the back of Sapphyre's head. Her eyes focused on the injury as the skin pulled closer and closer together, finally piecing back together the way it was meant to be. At least now the girl wouldn't be in so much pain. With her wand, Gabriella quickly cleaned the area around the former-split then moved on to tending to the girl's eyes.

To stop the swelling, she rubbed an ointment around the girl's eyes. In a few moments, the ointment would clear up Sapphyre's eyesight, as well. When she was completely done with the healing, Gabriella glanced down at the girl and said, "Miss Black, you're all doctored up. In a few moments, you'll have all your strength back and you may leave," she said. "I have to head back to the waiting room to take care of a few more injuries. Get some bedrest, mmkay?" With a little smile, she turned and headed out the room.

And here they were. Room 3. Without Destiny. This was...terrible! Well, if she couldn't have Destiny here, then she wanted Truebridge here! Or dare she say it, Lawson. Either of them! Evelyn hated Hospitals with a passion, and the fact that she was here alone with the healer and some random other person was not helping to keep her heartbeat and panic instincts down.

But still, she could not voice her opinions, and she was quite aware that she could now not feel her entire right side of her body. But what she did feel was the growing pain on her neck. That wasn't good...Why couldn't her left side be numb hmm? At least that would have dulled the pain in her side...

Arya showed no signs of waking as she was carried into the back of the hostipal wing. Her ragged breathing was the only visible sign of life. By now most of the bleeding had subsided, that along with the absense of loud voices had slightly lessened the pain in her head, but like I said, she still didn't wake.

When both of the students---or, well, three students---were safely in the healing area, Gabriella set to work healing the injured. She did, however, spare a small smile to the Gryffindor boy who'd carried in one of the girls.

Approaching Evelyn first, Gabriella cringed when she saw the spikes of ice embedded in parts of the girl's body. She hesitated a moment while she considered how best to tend to the ice, when a heating charm occurred to her. A moment later, she'd casted one, causing the ice to sort of melt away and off Evelyn's body. She followed with a drying spell that dried the excess water away.

With the ice melted away, all the cuts were visible. Gabriella started healing them by cleaning away the blood (and a little dirt and flower petals, too). After that, she casted spells to seal the wounds and followed up with a bit of ointment. A different type of ointment was applied to the bumps and burns, and soon enough, all Evelyn's injuries had been tended to. "Miss Flores, how are you coming along?" she asked.

Turning to Arya, Gabriella sort of guided Sabel to place her on the nearest hospital bed. It had to have been difficult to hold on to her for that long. "Thank you," she quickly said, smiling at the Gryffindor boy once again. It was the least she could do to show her appreciation, although, she imagined Arya would be thanking him later, as well.

The healer's first order of business was to tend to Arya's obviously broken ribs. She gently rolled the Hufflepuff girl onto her side then positioned her wand right towards the rib area. She worked quickly and quietly for a moments, as she swished and flicked a bit. She could tell Arya's bones were shifting, and when a familiar-sounding pop echoed throughout the room, she knew the bones had popped back together.

She then cleaned the area around the wound on Arya's forehead, for she really couldn't see the gash with all the blood. When she was able to see the wound, she examined for a moment before healing it. What in Merlin's name had done this? She refocused her attention on the wound then began healing it, as well.

When it was pieced back together, she applied ointment on it, as well as on the other scratched or bruised area's of the Hufflepuff's body. When all the injuries had been tended to, Gabriella retrieved to phials of Strengthening Potion and brought one to each girl. "Drink up. This will give you your energy and strength back," she said.

The hot air on her skin was extremely uncomfortable and slightly painful since her skin was all sensitive at the moment, but she did not complain or make a sound. Her expression though was a different story. It was telling everyone everything! Including the fact that she did not want to be there at the moment.

She was grateful though when she hot air spell finally stopped and she could see that the ice spikes were gone. Although, she didn't want to look anymore. Her own blood. She did not like to see it. Others she could handle, but not hers. Plus she didn't want to look at the at the wand that was pointed at her OR really focus on the other fact that someone was invading her space. Even though the healer was fixing her wounds, Evelyn still didn't like the fact that she was bursting her personal space bubble.

She felt funny for a moment after awhile though, as if felt like her skin was stretching, though it didn't hurt. Taking a quick peak at her left arm, she noticed the cuts there were closing up and leaving pink lines as to indicate where they previously were. She was mostly thankful though, that the bite on her neck was healed since it hurt the most. Although that one still twinged a bit...

Looking back up to the ceiling, her black eyes staring at every detail, she felt something cool touch her skin, both soothing yet stinging. Hospitals were just weird. She could remember the last time she was in here with the crazy cookie lady. At least this time there were no cookies and weird stuttering kids or that weird green clay gloop stuff. Her thoughts though were broken by the healer's voice, making her move her attention to the woman.

How was she coming along? How did the lady THINK she was coming along?! Opening her mouth to say just that, Evelyn found that she couldn't and the only thing that did come out was a weird strangled gasp that made her cough a little. Eh, she still couldn't speak. Seemed like she either lost her voice, or something else... Pfft. She didn't feel like talking anyways.

By the time she had been laid on the bed, Arya was begining to come around. She still had no clue as to where she was, but assumed it was her dorm room. Before she could open her eyes, she felt herself being moved to on her side. It had hurt, but not as much as her ribs being healed did, tears rolled down her face and she flinched at the final pop.

Arya took a deep breath, something she hadn't been able to do without extreme pain as her forehead was cleaned and healed. She didn't make any movements as the rest of her body was healed, instead let her mind wander. It had taken a moment but she realized where she was which in turn made the tears flow harder. Atleast her head was no longer throbing, she was extremly thankfull for that. Slowly curling her self into a ball, she rubbed her eyes smearing the blood and tears on her face before she finally open her eyes and looked around to see Sabel, another girl, and the healer. Arya assumed Sabel had been the one to bring her up here and though she was glad he cared for her best intrest, she wished he had just taken her to the hufflepuff common room.

She didn't want to be here, not for a second. But she was still far to weak to move on her own. Thankfully the healer seemed to be one step ahead of her. She looked at the potion in her hand, not really wanting to take it but knowing it was the only way she would be able to walk out of her. Placing the phial to her lips, she slowly drank the potion, already feeling its effects.

As far as Gabriella could tell, she'd tended to all the injuries both girls had obtained. Just in case, though, she quickly re-examined both, wanting to make sure rather than assuming. It just wouldn't do to have them walking about the castle still injured and not quite themselves yet.

So far, though, everything seemed to be alright. "If there's nothing I can do you, both of you are free to leave. I recommend a few hours bed rest, though, before going about your daily activities," she said, giving the girls a way out if that was what they were ready for. She knew that most students didn't like hospitals---not even visiting hospitals.

Arya just laid there while the healer re-examined her, watching her ever move with teary eyes. She was feeling much better than when she entered the hospital wing, no longer affected by noises and able to think clearly, though she refused to let her mind wonder about how she had gotten in such a state. There were a few small pains, but nothing that some sleep couldn't cure and the potion had givin her back most of her strength.

And then the words she had been waiting to hear had finally been said. Slowly sitting up she rubbed her forehead softly, as if to examine the healer's work while she slid of the bed. It wasn't til her feet touched the ground that she realized she was barefoot, the cold somewhat soothing. Taking Sabel's hand she walked slowly out of the room, but not before turning and giving the healer a small appreciative smile.

Evelyn, having her eyes closed, did not know the Healer had re-examined her again, though she did hear that they were free to leave. Pfft who cared about sleep! She could leeaaave this horrid place!

Smiling, her black eyes snapped open and she quickly bounced off the bed, before falling back down on it again. Ow. Sore. So sore. Muscles, tense, feet and arms, hurt, neck, back, ehhh. Surprisingly, the only thing that wasn't so sore was her side.

Taking a deep breathe, she slowly stood up, her legs shaking slightly, before grabbing the two wands. Ugh, they were dirty, bloody, and just plain gross. She would have to fix that when she got back to the common room really quickly. Glancing up to the healer for a moment, trying her hardest to smile but only came out as a slight wince, she made her way to the door, imitating what looked to be a penguin.

Yes. TO the common room! Awaaaaaay...

Ooowwwww

When the little Hufflepuff girl gave her an appreciative smile, Gabriella smiled brightly in return. She was happy to see that Arya was feeling much better and had most of her strength back. The healer's eyes flickered to the Gryffindor boy Arya had come with. She gave him an appreciative smile, as well. "Have a nice day, you two," she said. When the two were gone, she turned her attention back to Evelyn.

Gabriella sort of flinched a little when Evelyn tried to get up, only resulting in her falling right back down. No doubt the young girl was sore, although, Gabriella was sure she'd realized that by now. "Try and take it easy, Miss Flores. It'll take some time for you to feel completely normal again," she said. A moment later, the girl was back up again, making her way towards the door. Realizing room three was now empty, Gabriella headed for the door, deciding her work here was done. For now, at least.
