"Hey buddy..." he murmurs, then looks up when he heard his name
"Hi there Lily! How've you been?" Vickers was one of the nicer older kids... so Lily didn't mind talking to him.
"I've been okay I guess... I got hurt on the train so Louisa has been helping me get better. That way I don't have to go and bother the healer." Because everyone knew that wouldn't end well. Lily turned to steal a look at the head girl before turning back to Vickers.
"How about you?" Quote:

Waving her wand she conjured a bandage. "It's kind of ironic, huh?" Her mouth stretching to a smirk, "We partnered up in Healing seminar and now I'm bandaging your hand for real." Liiiiife is irony. Louisa rotated the girl's hand and started wrapping the bandage not too tight but tight enough to keep the wrist under slight pressure. "Don't remove it and don't raise your hand for too long. Keep it leveled with your waist as long as you can. If you need help with homework, chores or anything else, ask for it." Either from Louisa or from anyone else around. People were helpful... in general... she could even bribe some.
When done, the Ravenclaw gave her friend a small smile. Her cats seemed to sense the pain of the little girl, the unnamed cat climbed onto Lily's lap snuggling there while Viola just curled up as a ball on her shoes. Might've licked them once or twice, too.
Even though it didn't hurt when Louisa grabbed Lily's arm, her instinct was to wince slightly. Listening to her older ravvie buddy talk about the fact that the healer wouldn't hurt her, the redhead kinda hung her head slightly. Sure she knew that the healer couldn't hurt her any further, but she just didn't like needed to see some medical person for every little injury... even though she wouldn't exactly consider her injured wrist a little injury that she could heal on her own. Hence the going to see Louisa.
Only after her seventh year friend started smirking did Lily relax a bit. A quiet
"Yeah..." was all that was said about the irony. The good thing was that Louisa knew how to put bandages on. Don't take it off... don't keep your hand in the air... blah. blah. blah.. Yeah... Lily kinda knew what she needed to do... but she would be nice and just nod her head for Louisa. Until she came up with a question.
"What about quidditch??..." She asked, staring up at the head girl with a slightly worried look.
"Do you think I'll be alright to try out for the team?" Because if she wasn't going to be alright, the redhead would probably freak out... just like she had when her broom broke.
While she sat on the chair, she looked over at the cats that she was going to be in charge of watching... even though she really wanted to help build the cat house. The third year grinned slightly and started petting the cat on her lap before looking at the cat that had curled up on her shoes... and licked them...
"Um... Louisa?..." She said looking at the cat on her shoes.
"Is this the cat that isn't named yet?... because I think this cat should be called shoes." And if it wasn't... then the cat on her lap should be called cuddle... because the cat apparently liked to cuddle up to people.
