Azura was listening carefully as the Professor talked about volunteering. She had done that!! The little first year was so excited that she almost didn't wait for her to finish asking the question!
But she did, and then she waited for a second or two, so she didn't look to anxious and then raised her hand and spoke.
"My mom is a healer at St.Mungo's and during the summer I would go there and volunteer, I would go visit the patients and talk to them a bit, and then I would play the piano for them as well." Everyone said her playing was really good and it helped some of the patients feel better! She loved helping out at the hospital, because she too wanted to be a Healer some day.
