Default Hospital Wing


The cleanest room in the entire castle is, for more than obvious reasons, the hospital wing. Considering this is a magical school and accidents happen, it is not uncommon to see students and even staff being sent or brought here throughout the school year. Rest assured that no matter what mishap or injury you have, the school healer will have you fixed up and back to normal in no time ... depending on the severity, of course.

The primary feature of this decent-sized room are a series of standard issued beds. Accompanying each bed is a set of dividers, meant to give the person staying here privacy, and a wheeled table at the foot of it containing a jar of crystal clear water, glasses, and a vase of brightly coloured flowers. For those staying overnight, the bedside tables contain a set of sterile pyjamas and a pair of clean socks that are charmed to adjust and fit the wearer. Two steel chairs have been provided for visitors -- these are not the most comfortable as the patients here need plenty of rest in order to recover quickly. As per her job description, the healer rarely leaves the room when there are patients under her care and is always on call.

Alongside a storage room and a small clean bathroom for patient use, the healer has an office just off to one side of the main hospital wing where you can speak with her privately, either about medical concerns or in regards to the subject she teaches: History of Magic.

SPOILER!!: The Healer's Office


When you enter the office of Gabriela Recard the first thing you notice is all the purple. Yes, Gabriela LOVES the color purple and has chosen to decorate her office to reflect that (did you know it's the color of royalty?). The furniture itself is a deep mahogany color, and piles upon piles of books are situated on and around the bookshelves. Most of them are history books, but if you look closely you'll be able to see the various other subjects Gabi takes an interest in, such as Charms and Transfiguration.

On her desk, Gabi has three framed portraits of her husband, son and daughter. There are two large armchairs across from the desk for you to make yourself comfortable (purple of course, and matching the large, elegant drapes perfectly). Come on in and have a seat - if you're lucky, maybe Professor Recard will even offer you some tea.

OOC: Hello! Feel free to post your students if they are coming to visit Gabi for academic purposes, in addition to the normal business of the hospital wing. You do not need to wait for Gabi to call you in to post and there is no waiting area - if you post here, assume you have been invited in. Please be mindful of those who have posted ahead of you and do not simply "crash" the RP. Thank you!


OOC: Please do not play for the Healer. Gabriela Recard, played by Lissy Longbottom, will be happy to help your character.

Aboli, as soon as she thought about what NO OWLS meant, was determinded to come talk to Recard before even approaching Rosier. She...had a feeling he didn't like her considering his treatment of her, as Trent, last year. "Healer Recard?" she asked, ducking her head in, searching for her head of house.

"I need to speak with you about my future...if you're here!" she called out, noting all the purple. Aboli, in her three years here, had never been to the Hospital Wing with an injury. She had been here briefly to meet with Recard, but she was adverse to the AMOUNT of purple. Gold. There needed to be some gold somewhere in here.

curly haired prefect - "sometimes I get angry!" - 30/90 - *chicken emoji* - probably @ Disney - I speak dog

Gabriela was looking over her lesson plans in her office - trying to weed out any possible controversial material - when she heard Aboli calling out for her. She had wondered if the former prefect would be making her way to her office during the term...even though she was sure it was painfully obvious she would have no say in changing the matter.

She stood up, brushed off her skirt and headed out to the waiting area with a small smile. "Miss Song...how can I help you?" she asked, raising an eyebrow at her. She wanted to talk to her about her future? That was....hmm.

Aboli felt no ill toward her HoH. There was nothing any of them could do! "I want to know how I am supposed to apply to Uni with all communication cut off. Does our new Headmaster want us to...be able to go to University?" She was wringing her hands nervously. "I just...you know, need to know if this cu - " She cleared her throat. "The Neo Alliance will allow us seventh years to...you know, embark on our paths. And mine is an all magical path! No muggles involved!" she put her hands up as if she were arguing to the headmaster himself, her body language in submissive mode.

Ears everywhere, there were. Aboli knew that to be clear at this point.

"I want to use my magic - my gift - " she held up her gloved hands, "With mental health therapy. I had all my applications lined up and ready to send off...we probably won't be going home for Christmas, right?" She made it sound soOOOooo casual, too. She had already lamented lost Christmas plans the previous night as her brain ticked away at all the things. "Maybe you don't even have any answers."

Honestly in all the craziness of the past few days, Gabi hadn't even considered all the things Aboli was bringing up. She had good points, and perhaps Gabi would pay a visit to Rosier herself to bring them up - they were innocent questions after all. She nodded as she listened to her concerns before pausing for a moment, thinking it over.

"Well, the good news is...this isn't the first time seventh years have had outside forces disrupt their plans for university," she said with a soft sigh. "So the universities have tended to be much more lenient on late applications and such," she assured her. Was it convenient? Absolutely not. But at least they were able to get in to their programs of choice without outside factors affecting them.

"But...I would be willing to meet with our...Headmaster and see what his thoughts are. Perhaps we can make an exception for our seventh years," she explained, although personally she had very little faith in the idea. Couldn't hurt to ask though? "And...no, I would imagine not. I don't think they want us leaving and being...possibly corrupted by muggle thinking," she said softly, as she was having the same line of thought the seventh year was - were they listening somewhere? Had they planted a bug in her office? Many of their victims would be visiting her, after all...

Little did Recard know how much her words flooded Aboli with as much relief as a good bathroom visit after drinking water through a late-night Astronomy class.

Merlin's socks, there was HOPE!

"Do you think universities know about stuff happening here, professor?" Again, Aboli's voice was even-keeled. She was so good at it at this point in her life, and she even smiled a very wicked smile at her professor, because if she didn't smile, Recard might not KNOW what Aboli was GETTING at, yeah?

Christmas break was not a blow at this point. It was expected, and Aboli merely nodded. "I understand their thinking," was her comment. She did. If she was part of an evil organization wanting to overturn muggles??? it sounded like and she had just taken over the best magical school as a first part of the ploy, she wouldn't want the students going home on break either. All she could do was hope that he'd let them apply still. "Professor - Healer," she shifted her weight from her left to her right foot and tucked some of her newly-blonde hair behind her ear. "I - I don't want you to get in trouble for anything. Not that I think this is worthy of trouble at all, but Headmaster Rosier...is intimidating to me," she admitted, unwilling to say SCARED because she didn't want to appear weak to listening ears. "I can go talk to him to spare you getting into his poor graces. I think the man already dislikes me." Though, with how docile she was lately, she could hardly think he hadn't noticed that.

The usual Aboli!sass was gone. There was none this term, and least of all directed towards him.

Gabi paused, biting her lip. "I'm sure that there has been some sort of story released to the public about what is happening here...but I'm not sure it aligns with what is really going on," she admitted quietly. After all, cults didn't exactly broadcast their plans to the world. Parents would be up in arms if they knew what was happening here...

Gabi chuckled a little at her last statement and shook her head. "Rosier doesn't seem to be a fan of many people. Myself included, I'm sure - I can present it in a way that doesn't raise any red flags. This isn't my first rodeo with an...organization like this," she said with a sigh.

Cults. Seriously. She'd had enough.

Aboli made a FACE at her head of house. Jeeze, woman, don't speak so candidly! "I'm sure everyone is not worried at all. Whatever they know. We'll all be fine, I'm sure. For the the greater good." She said the words. She felt herself saying the words, but she met Recard's gaze and WILLED her to just...know what she was really thinking. That yes, she agreed there was probably a story released that had kept the masses away from storming the grounds of Hogwarts thus far.

"If you think that's best, Professor, all right. Thank you." She gave Recard an appreciative nod. "Thanks for...everything. Really." Aboli smiled gently as she shifted her bookbag's weight from one shoulder to the other. "I will miss you next term, you know." Her heart quickened its pace as she kept her features steady. There was no crying in Slytherin, all right? At least not so openly.

Phoebe James very much resembled a turtle with her lower face tucked into her shirt collar. It had been awkward making her way up from the grounds like this, but based on the absolutely horrified look she'd gotten from someone upon entering the castle, it was better to hide her face and not scare any tiny humans along the way.

She flexed her repaired fingers and looked for the Healer. "Healer Professor Lady Recard? I'm here about my teeth?"

After all, they couldn't stay here forever. Eventually they'd have to let the graduating students go in order to keep up their facade and then word would get out as to what was actually happening.

"Of course Miss Song," she smiled softly at her, feeling a sort of...PRIDE in her stomach that she didn't usually feel there were still some parts of her that were rather unfeeling ok?. But Aboli had stepped up last term and was STILL doing so, despite not being a prefect in name anymore. "I'll miss you too. You've been a delight to have in my house," she told her.

Ok, that was...enough sentiment for now, yes? Because teachers didn't cry either!

Gabi had been grading in her office while waiting for Phoebe to arrive and was thankful she made it to her so quickly. "Hello Miss James...please have a seat," she said, gesturing towards an open bed as she went to the cabinet and took out the Skele-Gro she'd set aside for her.

"Now, I want to warn you...this won't be exactly comfortable," she told her with a small frown. There was simply no way around that. She was regrowing BONES after all.

Day by day was exactly what Aboli had been doing. It was a source of comfort, now. Thinking too far ahead was dangerous, but in some ways necessary. So, to be fair, there were SOME issues Aboli had to take on a day-to-day basis, but others she had to keep in mind for the future. For example, making all of her decisions based on not getting hurt by the hands of the Neo Alliance? That was some biiiiig future thinking stuff.

Unfortunately, Aboli missed that look in Recard's eye because she was busy blinking a lot and trying to prevent that feeling in her throat from growing. "Yes ma'am," she said softly. "I should be off now. I've got...lot of....homework...NEWTs...ha...."

Aboli gave the woman a quick wave before practically running from the hospital wing. There were NO TEARS. NONE.

Next stop, Hospital Wing. Might have been better if Peralta had given them a note of some kind, in case Rent-a-Snitch was about, but it wasn't a long walk from Charms to here, and the Hug-a-Hoodie Brigade seemed more interested in the content and general sentiment in lessons than a noteless wanderer in the corridors. Not that Nem had any reason to believe they would be entirely disinterested, but their main priorities were fairly obvious.

After quietly entering the Hospital Wing, they took a few more steps inside and then stood leaning lightly against the bedframe at the foot of the empty bed closest to the door. They said nothing. Rather than call attention to themselves, they preferred to silently wait to be noticed. Test the waters, you know, see how unobtrusive their presence could be. Nem was in no rush to get back.

Phoebe pulled herself up on the cot and crossed her arms in front of her chest. Her fingers still ached, but it was that good ache that let her know things were on the mend. She trusted that whatever the professor had done during class had completely healed her fingers. Done and done.

"I'm already uncomfortable, Madame. I'm ready to feel comfortable again." She opened her mouth to show the bleeding mess that she'd been worrying over since taking a full spell to the face in class. "Will you tell me what you're doing?" She'd sort of assumed she didn't have the grades to really pursue the Healer track after Hogwarts, but it didn't keep her from being interested. A girl could dream, right?

For example, making all of her decisions based on not getting hurt by the hands of the Neo Alliance? That was some biiiiig future thinking stuff.

Unfortunately, Aboli missed that look in Recard's eye because she was busy blinking a lot and trying to prevent that feeling in her throat from growing. "Yes ma'am," she said softly. "I should be off now. I've got...lot of....homework...NEWTs...ha...."

Aboli gave the woman a quick wave before practically running from the hospital wing. There were NO TEARS. NONE.
Gabi couldn't help but smile a little to herself as Aboli ran off. Ugh. If that interaction was any indication on how tough this term was going to be...Gabi wasn't sure she was ready.

Not that Nem had any reason to believe they would be entirely disinterested, but their main priorities were fairly obvious.

After quietly entering the Hospital Wing, they took a few more steps inside and then stood leaning lightly against the bedframe at the foot of the empty bed closest to the door. They said nothing. Rather than call attention to themselves, they preferred to silently wait to be noticed. Test the waters, you know, see how unobtrusive their presence could be. Nem was in no rush to get back.
Nem was being maybe a little TOO quiet...Gabi almost didn't notice them as she tidied up after her last patient. "Oh! Hello Nemesis...are you alright? How can I help you?" she asked them. She couldn't quite tell if they were hurt, sick, or just...sneaking around trying to avoid detection from the Inquisitorial Squad.

"Of course," Gabi smiled as she handed her the potion. "I'm going to have you drink a small dose of Skele-Gro to help regrow your teeth. Once we grow in the ones that are missing I'll repair the broken ones, because the potion won't work on them," she explained. It always warmed her heart when the students wanted to know more about what she considered her side gig - although the last few terms, it had been far more important than her teaching job. Funny how things worked out, yeah?

"It's bitter, but only a sip of it is all we need. I suggest plugging your nose and just going for it,"
she told her with a small smile.

Nem was not exactly counting the seconds that passed, but they did slightly relish the ones in which they passed by unnoticed. Just something about it.

But anyway. Here for a different reason and all.

"I'm fine," Nem said, the answer sounding a little automatic. They paused a beat, then went on. "Well, not fine. I've been feeling a bit light-headed, nothing major, but if it's enough to have to leave class, it made sense to get permission to come straight here." Sensible, see? Responsible Upstead. "I think it's just stress though. Sort of unavoidable."

Phoebe wasn't going to be finicky. If the potion grew back her teeth, then she didn't care how bad it tasted. She took the most foul mouthful of potion and gave a huge grin of bloody stump teeth. See? All gone!

While she waited for the nauseating potion to do its work, and trying to distract herself from the churning in her stomach, Phoebe glanced at the clean cots and tidy bottles around her. "D'you know of any books that a fifth year... or someone... might read if they were interested in Healing? Not for me. I mean, how dumb, right? But someone else?"

"Ah, I see," Gabi nodded. Everyone was having their own share of stress this term. It made sense that to escape it, a few more students would be resorting to running to the hospital wing as an excuse. "Well, take as much time as you need. Sit down...do you think you need a Pepperrup Potion to help?" she asked them, juuuuust in case they actually DID feel a bit under the weather.

Gabi grinned at her. "Well if your FRIEND is interested in healing, I recommend stocking up on books on healing magic, specifically potions and charms," she explained. "Making sure you do well in those classes, as well as herbology and transfiguration," she added. Those were all ESSENTIAL subjects, just to be safe.

"Not to be mean, but I'm not sure my friend is smart enough to study being a Healer," Phoebe stretched her jaw, which had started to tingle. Something happening, and it wasn't pleasant. What a terrible potion... tasted bad, felt bad. But it did something pretty amazing.

"But I'll tell her what you said. Thanks."

Did she? Did she see? Nem had to wonder. Unless that was just a part of her bedside manner, or whatever it was called.

Speaking of which, Nem went ahead and perched on the edge of that bed they'd waited at the foot of. No need to lie down or anything, they weren't an invalid, and there was something too vulnerable for their liking about lying in or on a bed, even reclining, while someone else bustled around was up on two feet. "Thanks. Don't reckon I need that potion though. I've not got a cold or anything, barely even a headache." Nem folded their arms over their chest, but otherwise there was no readable body language to see. No expression. Flat. "Just dizzy."

"Oh, I don't think that's true. I'm a healer, aren't I?" Gabi asked with a small chuckle and a grin. Did she just crack a joke? Yikes. Gross. Who did she think she was, Armen?

"Let me see your teeth...ah, looks like a few are starting to come in, very slowly though. I imagine it'll be another hour or so," she informed her with a small frown.

"Would you like some biscuits? I have some to snack on when students have an upset stomach...they're not very good but they'll get something in your stomach before lunch," she offered with a small smile. She had a feeling Nem was going to be exceedingly stubborn about the matter, though. She wasn't about to turn them away and force them back to class...considering the current climate of the castle. They could hang around for a bit if they wanted.

Nem allowed a little smile right back, accompanied by a small shake of the head. "I don't eat biscuits, Professor. Even vegan ones." Which was what they were, fun fact. Vegan. "Thank you, though."

They let their gaze drift then, so they were staring at the wall over on the other side of the hospital wing. After a moment, Nem spoke again, still looking away. "Can I ask you something? More in your capacity as Head of House, I suppose."

Gabi smiled - she didn’t eat them either, honestly, as she was always looking out for healthier options. Their last question intrigued her though, and naturally she nodded. “Of course. What would you like to know?” She asked.

Actually, Nem had not yet decided exactly which route to go with this, though they'd had a number of possible lines of questioning occur to them on their walk to the Hospital Wing. Not just questions either, but other options. Lines of conversation. Games to play. That kind of thing. Even if they had come here with a certain question or comment in mind, who was to say if they'd have stuck with it?

So, as always, they were winging it.

Nem let the silence hang for a moment, absently smoothing down the front of their shirt and near-threadbare Slytherin tie. They kept their eyes on that one nondescript point of wall for a little longer, then looked towards Recard. Opened their mouth to speak, paused again, appeared to change their mind, and smiled sheepishly. "Well... I suppose. I just wondered... what should I do?" Yet another pause, during which they glanced to the door of the Hospital Wing and then back again, speaking just a touch softer now. "Any of us, really, with things how they are. Sit tight? Play along? I've been telling my friends not to make waves, and I'm just wondering if that's the right advice to give. Or if there's... something else."

See? Look at this. Seeking out the official line from a member of authority. To help themselves and others. Nobody could say Nem was not being terribly proactive.

Honestly, Gabi hadn't expect that question from Nem, but she admired them for asking it. This wasn't an easy situation to navigate, even for an adult like her. She could hardly imagine how Nemesis or any of the students felt with all of this going on. Truthfully, Nem was one of the ones that Gabi wasn't really too worried about. They were smart. They usually kept their head down.

"I think that's excellent advice," Gabi said with a small smile. "I know it's hard - and the urge for people to want to act out and fight back is strong," especially amongst those darn Gryffindors. "But the safest route for all of us is to just keep our heads down and wait. I know it doesn't seem like it, but the staff are trying our best to...figure things out," she assured them. It was tough speaking frankly out here - you never knew when someone was going to pop up and critique your behavior in this castle. But she was the Healer and this was HER domain. She'd say what she wanted!

"Trying to do anything else is just poking the bear at this point,"
she said sadly.

Nem allowed a small smile back, then looked down and interlocked the fingers of both their hands, idly stretching the joints out. "I'm not sure how it is that those are the kids I keep ending up in the company of," Nem replied, referring, of course, to the multitude of chaotic Gryffindors in this place, of which there always seemed to be at least one lingering in their periphery. Apparently Ravenclaws were no better. "But that's who I've been trying to talk some sense into. I just hope they're listening. If someone gets caught planning, or doing, something stupid..." They let the silence linger once again, then shrugged, looked back up, and finished simply, "Doesn't bear thinking about, does it?"

But all this was good to know. Very good to keep in mind, for one reason or another. Shame they couldn't get any other intel, but maybe there was simply none to give. Not yet, anyway. Not until the staff had figured things out... if they could. "Heads down, wait, don't poke the bear. Solid plan, I think." They smiled again, grim and determined, stretched their fingers back once more until their knuckles cracked, and unlinked them again. "Thanks, professor... And actually, maybe I should go and wait outside my next class. Not always a big fan of these hospital-type places. No offence."
