"I use it to carry my books" and he did not want to know how many he had with him right now.
He also hadn't thought about that healing a broken nose was just as painful as breaking one so he sat quietly as the man applied the paste on his nose. He crossed his eyes to see the color change from blue to white. Cool.
Ah no, he knew he should have kept his mouth shut. Mason didn't even think for an answer to the question and quickly, perhaps too quickly, said "NO!" he cleared his throat in an attempt to stay cool. "I mean, that's not necessary, i know where to find her" his heart skipped a beat when he realised what he had said and he hoped that the man wouldn't make the connection between his state and 'her' right now...
Cause a girl who punches you in the face and can break your nose and jinx you is scary.
"Did you work at St.Mungo's before working here, sir?" he asked, trying the distract him from thinking and making connections as his fingers were unjinxed one by one.
Of course, he could've used the extension charm, but then again he'd like to think that that won't work for him as a healer.
"It is a convenient charm, no doubt about that...but then healing potions and pastes like the one I applied to your nose tend to expire faster. If I kept it in my pocket, I would definitely forget to check its freshness." And to have an expired medicine in his pocket was a no-no.
"Good for you though, Master Winslow. A very useful charm for a Ravenclaw like yourself. Just, make sure to check the book out properly from the Librarian. You wouldn't want to walk in ripped trousers..." A friend of his tried that once...and they all had a good laugh out of it.
River busied himself as he carefully removed the jinx from Mason's other hand, restoring each of his fingers to normal.
"That should do it, let me see you open and close your hand...and if you can make a tight fist out of it." The healer stood back and watched the boy exercise his hands.
Her. So he didn't bang his head anywhere...or touched a cursed object. The jelly fingers and broken nose was done by a girl? Merlin's beard. When River heard the rest of the boy's words, the Ravenclaw earned a raised brow. Mason could thank Merlin's name because if he saw the act with his two eyes, there would be some form of interrogation and a possible detention.
"I do not wish to meddle with your business, Master Winslow...but if you or her end up in the confines of this ward, then the two of you will leave me no choice but to contact your Heads of House." He doesn't mind the bloody nose or the jelly fingers if it had been an accident out of curiosity, as long as it was not because of a heated argument. Yes, too late now Master Winslow. The connection had been made.
"Yes, I did. I also worked for Castelobruxo." So dealing with teenage drama wasn't new to him, however, he isn't quite ready to say that he's used to it.
"Chin up, Master Winslow." River hooked his finger under Mason's chin, and helped him tilt his head backwards. River pointed his wand in between Mason's eyes and made a quick flick with his wrist,
"Episkey." CRACK! "Breathe in slowly...and breathe out from your mouth. Go on." River crossed his arms and waited for Mason to do the exercise. He wanted to make sure that his nose was back to its normal alignment before wiping off the white goo on Mason's face.
