If River could be very blunt with this child, he would disagree. He would rather be out in the mountains searching for possible healing herbs and plants, and just enjoy nature. He felt he was more of an Earth person than a Water one. But then again...who was he to dictate such things? As far as he could remember, he was merely interested in fixing things...who actually would have thought that he’d be successful in fixing people’s injuries? “Most of the Wizarding Universities offer it, so you shouldn’t be worried about these classes. If anything, those are highly advanced lectures than the ones taught here in Hogwarts...but you will get by as long as your heart’s into it.” Because having the will to heal people mattered, or else, she will just get bored and be tired of it all. “And if you break your bone, I will be there to fix it so don’t be afraid to try.” He said grinning in assurance. That’s exactly why schools have Healers. They were there to be the student’s support person should something go wrong.

The Healer held in his breath as he watched Olivia frown. Death was inevitable, that he was sure of, and it was his fervent hope that people would accept is part of life’s cycle. Even wizarding folks go through it. “What matters is the now, Miss Holden.” He said gently placing a comforting hand on her shoulder. “As long as you give Mr. Bennet the love and care he deserves, he will not be in that kind of pain.” He added giving her shoulder a reassuring pat.

Olivia chuckled at Healer Reed’s statement of older brother embellishing their stories. “Sometimes muggle brothers do that too,” she said with a small smile. Her eldest brother Marcus loved to embellish stories about what he was doing to make himself seem more important. She sighed. She didn’t know what had happened between her, Marcus, and Simon. She smiled a little at his words. The stories that Ryden told must have bene terrifying. “That’s understandable. I have yet to see the Whomping Willow.” At the mention of the friends that did not have a favorable encounter, she frowned slightly and turned to glance at River. “Were they… okay?” The couldn’t have been hurt too badly, right? It was just a tree. A big tree.

Highly advanced courses? She smirked. “I am always up for the challenge.” She nodded, feeling rather confident in her ability. “Though it will take much patience and work.” However, she knew it required a lot of work and determination. Dedication too. “I know it will certainly take a lot of work but I do want to help people.” She had always enjoyed helping others as well as mediating conflict, especially between her two older brothers. Olivia raised both eyebrows at his question. “Healer Reed, are you encouraging to break my bones?” she asked with a teasing grin and chuckle. She knew he wasn’t but it had sounded like that for a moment and she loved to have a good laugh.

What matters is now, Miss Holden. Wise words. Live in the now.

“I suppose so.” She sighed, taking a deep breath. She continued to look down even when she felt his hand on her shoulder. His hand was warm and comforting. He gave her a nice pat, making her feel more alright. She nodded, glancing at Healer Reed. “True. He should not. He’s been a good companion and has been with me through a lot.” He had been there with her whenever her father and eldest brother argued or whenever her two brothers fought. He had been there when her mother had forgotten who she was and when her mother had passed away. The way Healer Reed spoke sounded as if he had some experience with this matter. However, it would be inappropriate if she straight up asked him. “You speak as if you have lost someone. Have you lost a pet before?” she asked.
