Dylan was coming down from the Seventh Floor feeling much lighter than before he'd went up. It was unexpected, considering he'd anticipated a fight...A physical fight, actually...with a certain Ravenclaw possibly killing him...

...But she hadn't. Things had been said and what not. Everything was laid out on the table now...and the Slytherin Quidditch Captain could finally rest easy. About that, anyway.

Either way, it was one less thing he had to worry about...

In passing, he remembered the Healer, and decided to stop in on his way back to his common room. Why not, right? Dylan hadn't been to see her since getting back to school.

Stopping at her Office door, he paused before knocking.

knock, knock, knock!

A cup of tea, that's what Cece needed right now. She was tired and cranky and just wanted to rest a little before heading back to the infirmary. As she approached her office she seen a figure standing there knocking on the door. Great, looks like there will be no resting for he right now.

"Can I help you with something?" She asked as she stopped behind the one standing at her door.

Sierra Greingoth tracked up to the third floor en route to the Healer's office. She'd promised herself she'd check on the woman from time to time, and seeing as she hadn't seen her since the train, she figured now was just as good a time as any.

She rounded the corner, half expecting to find an empty corridor, but was slightly surprised to see the same exact part of two she'd been with the last time she was here--Dylan and none other than Healer Tillstorm herself.

"Healer Tillstorm?" she asked, stepping up beside the woman. "Is now a bad time to visit?"

Before the boy standing at her door had a chance to turn around and answer her there was another person there. Turning when she heard her name a smile spread across her face. "Sierra dear. It's never a bad time when you come to visit me. Is everything alright?" She wasn't feeling ill was she? Or worse, her mother wasn't taking a turn for the worse was she?

Knock, knock, kn-...

*pause*

"Can I help you with something?"

Turning towards the voice, Dylan grinned a bit sheepishly. Well, he'd never considered the possibility that she wouldn't be inside. He'd always seen the lovely Healer in her office...with annoying 'Puff patients that were usually faking it.

And...she certainly looked well enough. "Hello, Healer." Yep, Dylan was grinning at her. How could he not, though. His mood was just too good...

It was short lived, though. They were being joined by someone and upon instinct, The Slytherin Captain tensed. Didn't they see he was having a conversation here? How completely rude...

Yes. Snide remark coming...

...but then he realized it was only Sierra Greingoth and visibly relaxed. The Girl-Prefect was on his very short list of exceptions...because he could be himself around her.

"Greingoth." Nod, nod.

When the other person turned around Cece smiled some more. "Oh, hello there Dylan." Standing there looking between the two Slytherin leaders she couldn't help but wonder what was going on here.

Okay, maybe they hadn't planned on meting here at the same time. "Dylan, that's no way to greet Sierra. She deserves more respect than just being called by her last name." Really now, was she going to have to teach this boy manners or what?

Seeing the Healer, Sierra grinned. Upon instinct, she glance down, but only for a split second. "Well I came to check on you, of course," she said. "...and to see if you needed anything. I can make you some tea if you'd like." Then she perked up a little, and a proud expression spread across her face. "Mom taught me how to cook, and I make the tea at home some, too."



Sierra gave Dylan a disapproving glance. She was expecting him to bow down before her and grace her with flowers, but she did think their friendship extended a little beyond a last name basis. "Lovely to see you, too, Dylan," she said, but she was smirking at him when she said it.



...and she smirked even further upon hearing what the Healer had to say. Respect, Dylan. I'm awesome enough to deserve it.

Dylan simply grinned at the Healer as she returned his greeting...but then blinked a few times when she mentioned how he'd addressed Sierra. Er...He really hadn't meant disrespect. He just felt weird calling his team members by their first names...

She was giving him a look, though, and all the Slytherin could do was behave like a good little boy and obey. Your wish is my command and all that. "Of course she does. My apologies..."


Returned smirk for you, Sierra.

Well now, wasn't that sweet. Sierra was coming to check on the healer. And she even wanted to make her tea. What a sweet girl she was. Looking down she smiled. "I'm doing great Sierra. Everything is going... extraordinarily well." Yep, everything was moving along splendidly.

The girl was learning to cook? That was a good thing since her mum was going to be needing all the help she could get in the fairly near future. "I'm glad to hear you've been helping your mum out. You know she's going to need the extra help when..." she trailed off. She didn't need to finish that statement. Sierra would know what she was talking about.

Hearing the way Sierra greeted Dylan, Cece looked at the boy. "Now that's what I call a proper greeting." He could learn a thing or two from his prefect. "As much as I appreciate your apology Dylan, I think it's Sierra that you should be apologizing to." And that didn't mean smirking at her like that either.

Unlocking her door she looked back at both students. "How about we take this inside. I need to put my feet up and rest a bit." Being on her feet all the time really got to her every now and then.

Alexa practically bolted up every flight of stairs that separated her from the Healer. Sure she was positive the woman was the scariest person on the planet but at the moment she found something even more terrifying and felt a conversation with the Healer was well worth any hex she might have gotten--so long as the woman was able to fix the problem of course...otherwise it'd be a terrible waste and she'd just end up right back at her doors for help removing said hexes.

Lex knocked on the door a couple times before she began pacing the floor.

Were you even allowed to visit the Healer even though you weren't ill? She would worry about that later but after recent events she didn't know who else to turn to...okay so maybe she could have gone to Prof. Lafay--pfft, yeah right. The Healer it was.

Come on, come on... Her eyes kept darted to the door as she paced. This. Was. An. EMERGENCY. To her anyway...

Cece rounded the corner to her office and nearly ran into the young lion pacing in front of her door. "Miss Cambridge. What can I do for you today?"

Lex nearly had a heart attack when her pacing was suddenly interrupted by the Healer who wasn't in her office. Mm. If she'd known then she wouldn't have wasted her time knocking.

She looked up at the woman. At the moment she wasn't glaring and she didn't look like she was about to explode for some unknown reason. Good. She'd come at the right time. "Hello Healer Tillstorm." Might as well get the formalities out of the way before she got to the matter that was like life or death. Yeah. That serious.

"I ran ALL the way up here because you're the only one who can help with a problem that's affecting the school." She had to remind herself to speak slowly or her mouth would have been going a mile a minute. "There's some kind of freaky mutant bug thing going around the school, infecting people brains and stuff!!!" She gave her a slightly scared look. "I don't wanna be next." she continued in a near whisper.

Cece listened as Alexa explained her situation, or should she say the situation of the school. At first she was expecting to hear the girl say someone had stolen her chocolate or something silly like that, but mutant bugs? That wasn't something she would have ever guessed in a million years. "Mutant bugs are infecting people? What people and what's happening to them?"

Cece couldn't tell just yet if the child was being serious or if she was being, well... just being obnoxious Alexa. Until she figured that part out she would treat it as if this was something serious.

She paused, completely taken aback for a minute. The woman was actually listening?! She wasn't going to tell her to go away like other people?! YES! This was her chance to save herself; it was too late for everyone else...poor them...

She took a deep breath then went onto the explanation the Healer had just asked for. "Well you see, I was told that there's this bug going around. I'm not sure if it's in the food or if it crawls in through your ears but somehow it infects people and makes them 'fall in love'." She kept a straight, if not slightly scared face the entire time. This was serious stuff. "So far it's infected a lot of the girls! They're walking around giggling for no reason and I even saw one crying because of a boy! It's terrible!!!"

Her eyes flickered to the woman's office. "Please tell me you have something that can prevent me from getting infected too!!! I don't wanna fall in love!"
