SPOILER!!: Healer Reed and Professor Greyvson
River sat beside Olivia, and got her form out in one swift motion, and scribbled medical notes on it. The Healer held a sigh as the young Gryffindor mentioned Peeves...and his partner. River wasn’t exactly surprised, given that he’d witnessed Peeves’ notorious pranks before, and the fact that his nephew, Jace, had an accident just last term sustaining a head injury because of Peeves. Of course, as an uncle, he had to insist to examine the boy just to be sure.
Apparently, the not so friendly poltergeist wasn’t anywhere near from being over his infamous tricks. As Olivia recounted what happened to her and her companions, River shot Imogen a quick glance, then back to the injured Lion.
“I see. I can surely fix your arm...and your...leech problem.” He finally said tilting Olivia’s head to the side to look at the worm fixated firmly on her.
“Huh. Medieval bloodletting without my knowledge?” he asked jokingly. Who knows if the young Gryffindor was that adventurous? After jotting down another quick note on Olivia’s form, River finally stood up and looked at the opposite side of the corridor.
“I do hope the other two students are okay. I think it’s a good idea to let Roderick and Justin know about their students.” he said as he looked at his colleague,
“I am more concerned about the first year student, however.” Poor kid.
“Anyway, let’s continue this discussion inside while I fix Miss Holden's arm.” He said stepping away from the two ladies and gestured his arm towards the hospital doors.
“Off you go, then.” OOC: You can now post in Bed 3![/QUOTE]
As Healer Reed motioned for them to step over to a sectioned off bed, Olivia nodded and followed. She gulped when she saw the bed. She had always hated hospitals. She clutched her sore arm a little more and winced. Hospitals reminded her of her mother. She suddenly felt very nervous and tried to distract herself with something... anything. Peeves and Miffy. She'd rather face them again.... This wasn't a hospital. Relax. Relax. It was going to be okay. She sighed and let her mind wander to other thoughts. There had to be something she could focus on. Her eyes widened. Ah yes. Then the comment about medieval blood letting came to mind. Ah. Right. Distraction. Unsure of whether she should sit on the bed, she awkwardly stood next to it for the time being.
Olivia chuckled at his comment about medieval blood letting. "
Ha, unfortunately it wasn't my idea," she chuckled with a small smile. Perhaps Miffy thought that she needed it. But speaking of medieval.....History was something she absolutely adored. She had always been fascinated with history ever since she was a small child. She had loved learning the history of ancient cultures all the way up until present day. Her favourite time period was definitely the War of Roses. The political intrigue.. The deceit... It was unbelievable. She couldn't believe that people had been so quick to turn on good friends and family. "
Do people still use leeches today in the medical field?" she asked, curiously. She doubted it but maybe it was still something some people used.
