Agggghhhhhhhhh!!!!!

His finger!!!! Was in SOOOO much pain. There was still blood dripping down it. The blood had already soaked up the tissues that Hady, the younger snake, had given to him. Taking off the now bloody rags, it was worse than he originally thought. The whole entire nailbed was practically sliding off his finger! When the nailbed originally cracked from slamming into one of the rails, the edge must have jammed itself into skin, cutting it open. Boy did it sting. It felt like a mix of being burned by putting you hand on a stove when it was on, and being stabbed by a knife at the same time. This excruciating pain needed to end!!!

Thankfully, the Professor, Hady, and himself stopped the staircases from moving...which was an extremely good thing. A voice from above appeared, making Gregoire direct his pained stare up to the sound. It was the other girl, with the Ancient Runes Professor. "You're late to the party!" He joked around. "Joking aside though, we really need to get to the healer." The fourth year called up. Quickly and swiftly making his way up the staircase, he kept a firm grasp around his finger to stop the blood flow. That's what his mom always told him to do. Though this made it hurt even more, the kid just kept squeezing it until it started to turn purple.

Finally being ascended to the platform where the other two were the boy spoke "Yeah, less chit-chat, more healing for me and Airey." Gregoire's voice was quick and apprehensive. Then this thought hit him. He just left the Professor, a grown man, with possibly a broken toe, with a second year girl...sigh...There was no way Hady could help the Professor up the steps by herself. Gaahhhhh!!! The only spell- well, it was considered a jinx- so- the only jinx Gregoire knew that could possibly help was levicorpus, and that wouldn't be able to move him much. Also it would hoist the man by his ankles...so yeah not happening.

Rushing back down the steps, Gregoire quickly wrapped his good arm around the Professor. Calling over to Hady, the Frenchie told her "Quickly Hady, get his other side, we must help Professor Airey up the steps! To stop my finger from bleeding." Wait, that sounded so self centered. "Erm...And to get Airey some help." There, that saved it...well...kinda...not really...but it was an attempt.

In his defense he could've just stayed up there with Botros and the Gryffindor girl! Or just ran to the healer himself! But nope. He did neither of those options. He came back down to help because he was just that nice of a person.
