The essence of life itself was infinitely more interesting; how intrinsically connected brain and heart were, how human beings could persevere even when all the odds pointed to the opposite.
That sort of thing.
He walked to the grounds with the usual spring to his step that came with attending classes--or seminars, in this case--that deeply interested him. There were some interesting artifacts on the table that quickly drew his attention and he thought he saw his name in one of the bottles; but what was more interesting was that... that did not look like Healer Reed at all.
The boy tried not to frown. He arranged his face into polite interest. "Hello, sir." He approached the man, made his mouth curl into an equally polite smile and nodded. "You're not Healer Reed. Unless a polyjuice potion is at play, here." Levi tilted his head to one side. Sighing dramatically, Monte polished his apple against his suit and was about to sink his teeth into it when the first student arrived. With his mouth ajar, his eyes lingered on the boy's hair. Short and neat? Good. However his scalp needs moisturizing. "Oh hello there!" Monte kept his apple behind and gave the boy his blinding smile. "Oh I am definitely not Healer Reed, and no polyjuice potion I don't think." He just got there straight from his salon. "I am a friend of his. My name is Monte Bossa." Hair Connoiseur. Quote:

She stopped once she came beside Levi and smiled up at him. "Ooooh. Curls are the in thing this season, young lady!" Monte gave the air a 'check' with his index finger, "Although you could use more cream rinse to keep it shiny and gorjaaaz."
Mhhhm. Quote:

Still, he was eager to see what Healer Reed had in store today, hoping beyond hope that they'd endure another stimulating physical activity. Having the seminar out on the grounds hinted that it might be that type of lesson, but the stuff on the table? Not so much.
The sixteen year old gave Lucy a grin and little wave before going to stand on the other side of Levi. "Oh! Hello.." Henry greeted the man who clearly was not Healer Reed, somewhat in surprise as his eyes fell on the man, but he soon had a welcoming smile for him. "Hey.." he whispered to Levi. "Who's that?" Did he miss something? New staff? Guest speaker? Were these students for real?! What have they been feeding these little monsters lately? This poor boy needs a haircut! And lots of conditioner!

When looking around tough she noticed that there was no healer present. Just a table with different bags sitting on it. Maybe they were going to practice on each other. Like bandage each other legs and stuff, that's would be fun... thought Sully didn't think that the students would be allowed to do more advanced stuff on one another. The next student who caught his attention was a young girl with golden locks. From afar, her hair looked okay, but up close...MERLIN ALL THE FRIZZY HAIR THAT STOOD OUT FROM HER SCALP!
Monte slowly had his hand on his chest, his fingers all spread out trying his best not to scream HAIR EMERGENCY! Quote:

On the other hand, healing seminars were ALWAYS quite interesting.
Though upon approaching the place on the grounds for the seminar and examining the supplies set up - were they going to be drawing blood from each other? - the fourth year frowned when there was no Healer Reed present. Instead a strange man, whom she thought she might have recognized, but couldn't exactly place where she'd seen him before. Ah well, at least she had more time to think before she saw the healer again, because a few more minutes to tack onto the weeks wouldn't hurt anything. Monte was busy calming himself when the next student arrived. He would've complemented the gorgeous hair colour, but maybe another time. Quote:

Since Kay was very certain Cami would be there, she decided that she would be there too. What kind of cousin would she be if she did not continue to torment the Transfiguration professor? Aside from that, she was genuinely interested in the challenge. Hence, this is why Kay made her way to the Lake.
But where was River? The man there certainly was not him. Kay reasoned River must have invited him for some reason. "Good afternoon, everyone!'' she greeted loudly enough for all who gathered there so far to hear. The greeting from another adult caught Monte's attention. Not only did the woman's voice woke him from his initial shock, but her hair was JAW-DROPPING. Look at those locks sway from side to side like silk! "Oh hello, darling!" Monte gave the professor a series of finger wiggles as his reply. Quote:

With all the traveling and adventuring she got herself into during the holiday breaks keeping herself trained in all types of healing methods might very well come in handy.
As she came closer to the area where the seminar was to be held she noticed two things...one being several students were already there and two being that the man in charge wasn't, At least not that she could tell right now. However another man was there to whom which she gave a warm smile and a nod in greeting. Her brown eyes shifted and easily zoned on another adult, her cousin. Cami laughed softly to herself knowing exactly why the other women was there.
"Kaysha," she greeted softly stepping up beside the Muggle Studies professor and lightly nudging her arm. "Come to see which of us is better at these challenges?" she teased lightly. THIS.IS.TORTURE! 
Can you just...will you...MERLIN! Monte Bossa can tell that this woman hasn't visited a salon for YEARS. The hair waves were on point, but it lacked the luster to attract people's attention! "Keratin Treatment. A-S-A-P." Monte mostly told the suggestion to himself as he slowly massaged his perfectly manicured eyebrows in frustration. Oh she could use some threading too! Her brows spelled D I S A S T E R. Did she know? Quote:

When she got to the Lake, she was slightly disappointed not to see Healer Reed and frowned but soon the frown disappeared when she realized that she recognized a fair amount of these people. "Hello!" she said to the group and gave a smile for the two Professor Stewarts. What would they be doing in this challenge, hmm? Merlin, bless this young child's overzealous scalp. She must be oozing with Vitamin E like it's no one's business! Quote:
Originally Posted by nicole black With a bottle of Sleekeasy's help Aslan had managed to calm her mane into a simple, singular side plait for ease.

The effect was not subtle, but the magic had been complex - more so than the spell work that went into her literally feathered hair.
She had been expecting Healer Reed, her new eyes told her that the man before her most certainly not him. Curiosity pushing her forward, Aslan raised a dark brow but did not speak her question, Levi Kenning had done that for her. the Gryffindor glanced to the bottles and the bandages and as she awaited the answer to her unspoken question she allowed her mind to theorize on what these objects meant- The likelihood, considering the name of the challenge and the objects assembled felt obvious to her. They would be trying their hands at healing techniques. The real question? On whom were they to be practicing, for as far as Aslan's enchanted eyes could see there were no dummies or cadavers.
She pursed her lips and remained thoughtfully silent. Monte made a series of finger snaps when the next student presented herself, ignoring the fact that she raised a brow at him. This young lady got attitude, and Monte loved it! The hair was noticed of course, and he had to applaud this lady's take on balance. Simple hairstyle, fierce make-up.
She ought to model for him some time. He would love to doll up that beautiful face of hers! Quote:

Besides, she had nothing to do this afternoon and it would be nice to make herself... productive.
She doubted that it would be a physical challenge since Healer Reed did not mention of wearing any kind of sports attire. Ah okay, let's keep it as surprise. The Gryffindor headed to the grounds and saw some people were already there but the healer himself. There was a stranger, some students like Levi, Henry, Skylar, Olivia, and Aslan that she gave them a small wave, two Hufflepuffs that she didn't recognize and the Stewartesses. "Hello, Professors." Ava said to those two women.
Another HAIR EMERGENCY! How could she possibly go out of her dormitory with that dry, dead hair?!
Merlin's silky beard, this young lady needs ALL THE HAIR PRODUCTS AVAILABLE. Quote:

Well, in case. When should really be more appropriate, considering last summer's broken arm and hand. But despite being pretty sure that Healer Reed wasn't about to teach them how to do that, she couldn't really miss this -- even if she was skipping her daily workout sessions. Challenge. The word challenge had been on the announcement and Daisy's mind had obviously remembered last year's challenge and the Yeti. Of course that this year is was Healer's Challenge but maybe they would run away from Healer Reed himself?
Didn't matter, she was here anyway.
And Healer Reed -- and his dogs -- weren't.
The Slytherin paused and curiously glanced back at the castle. Had she missed it? Or read the date wrong, perhaps? Doubtful, considering the number of people already there, two of which staff members. And ... some other adult she didn't recognise. She still made her way over to him, however, because she definitely recognised the people standing near him. "I'm not late, am I?" She whispered as soon as she got close enough to Levi, Henry, and Lucy, one hand quickly squeezing Levi's side in greeting before moving to stand next to Henry. Uhm. Nope, that man was completely unfamiliar. "Good afternoon, Sir. Do you know if Healer Reed is bringing his dogs?" Priorities.
This girl needs to stop wearing her hair straight. Her hair texture was perfect for big waves to complement her face shape, and those eyeslids need a little colour to bring out her gorgeous eyes!
Monte blinked in slight confusion when the student started talking to him. "Dogs?" He's all about human hair, honey. Not fur coats. Anyway, "I really wouldn't know, darling. I didn't see him with his pets earlier." Monte kept the grin on his face, ultimately deciding that this Slytherin needs to grow out her eyebrows and re-shape it. Quote:

That was useful information that it was probably best for him to learn. He was still a bit wary, though, and did not have any greetings for anyone right now, especially not the stranger where he might have expected Healer Reed to be. Instead he made his way over to Ava quietly and stood, awaiting instructions. It was really rare for Hogwarts boys to have gorgeous hair. It had been years since the last time he saw a group of them come to his salon, but this boy just might revive that odd tradition of theirs. Just look at the body of this boy's hair! The batch of boys from the early 2080s would be so proud of this kid's natural gift of gorgeous locks. Quote:
Originally Posted by Zellanna Kyle arrived and looked around. He didn't know what Healer Reed looked like, so he wasn't sure which of the adults he should be greeting. The two women were out, of course, as he knew Healer Reed was a man. What about the man who was standing over by the lake? He started to approach, then stopped, a little unsure of himself. He tended to be shy with adults until he got to know them, and the professors weren't any different. He hadn't greeted any of the professors from his classes so far. Instead he turned his attention to the table. There were many things there he was already familiar with, as his father often took care of them instead of taking them to a healer for their wounds. He hadn't dealt with murtlap sap before, however, so it would be interesting to see it at work if they were using it this session. Another boy with dead hair. Seriously? He ought to donate haircare kits for these little monsters at some point. Quote:

Oh, it wasn't anything too excessive, considering the physical activity they were probably about to be subjected to (which was MORE than fine), but she'd felt Healer Reed was worth the extra effort. He was, after all, an exceptional man. Brilliant and capable. The Gryffindor had found herself to be quite taken with his...skill. Yes. His Healing skills had left a profound impression on her. Such profound. Very wow....
So, imagine her surprise (and disappointment, sorry Hogsmeade employee) at not seeing him already gathered with Roscoe and Bumi. This was a Healer's Challenge, right? By definition, that would mean their esteemed Healer would be involved in some way... Or it would've simply been a regular challenge with no added connotations necessary. Anyway, despite the initial letdown, the blonde still moved further into the already gathered students; noting the small colorful sacks. And the murtlap essence! Yes, indeed, she DID see her name scrawled across one of the bottles. It ALSO made her happy that so many people were showing up for his event. Healer Reed deserved all the recognition, all the participation, all the adoration....
....Remember the time he'd carried her in his arms to the infirmary???? Olivia didn't (really), she'd been unconscious...but it had probably been so wonderful. Actually... it made her consider faking an injury. So that he'd need to carry her again...
Perhaps, perhaps...
Also, it seemed even their resident professors weren't immune to the charms or these little challenges. Offering a wave to both older women (Kaysha, Camilla), she eventually pushed herself to the very front of the crowd; grinning at thoughts and feelings she'd rather keep to herself for now. Her amusements would've seemed downright cruel to the wrong individuals. So, best to keep that on the down-low.
Hm, and who was this casually chilling over there by the lake? Very curious and mysterious... The plot thickens! For this student, Monte didn't need to be up-close to see the potential of this young lady's gorgeous locks. It was healthy, shiny, and well-kept. It made the hairstylist smile and mentally applauded this young lady's appearance. She got everything in control, and hopefully she'd continue to take care of her beautiful mane.
Hashtag blessed! Quote:

In light of the...shift in focus of half her experiments, Jessa was beginning to think these Healer Seminars were going to come in extra handy. Her new plan of action would inevitably see her getting hurt a time or two and she didn't think she'd have the best year if she had to keep heading to the Healer to fix her after. No. He'd have questions after a while then before she knew it THAT would be a lost avenue of experimentation too.
Couldn't have that.
The supplies on the table were curious. Even more curious? The absence of Healer Reed and the presence of a man with oddly well styled hair. Good for him.
Jessa waved at Olivia as she walked by her to take a spot by Aslan and Levi. Much like the two (because even if Aslan never spoke, the 13 year old was sure she had questions too), Jessa was interested to know more. The girl had gotten there in time to hear the end of the Gryffindor's question and found she had one of her own. "Will we be operating on you today?" Was that why they had the bandages? Was he prepared to get hurt so they could make him better? Merlin, what a trooper. She couldn't wait.
Twisting just a bit on the spot, Jessa took notice of both the Transfiguration and Muggle Studies Professors. Having no reason to interrupt their little banter, the Ravenclaw simply turned to their test subject again, already mentally cutting him open and stitching him up good as new. Say what now? Operate on him? Out in the open? Monte's brows went for his high hairline at the question, wondering if he could operate on her scalp instead AND FIX HER OH SO VERY DRY HAIR?! "Oh, I'm sorry honey but I don't think we'll be doing that today. River didn't mention anything about it." Monte managed to reply in a calm manner, his fingers itching to grab on to her locks and snip ALL OF THEM SPLIT ENDS! Her hair too spelled D I S A S T E R. Quote:

Too many questions for Théo's head. Monte had to pull his gaze away from the blonde girl and instead gazed at a young boy wearing Gryffindor robes. This kid's hair was promising! Give him two or more years and he'll be sporting a head with healthy hair. This young man will turn heads everywhere...which was, by the way, the norm in Hogwarts. Quote:
Originally Posted by Felixir Healer Man Reed was good people. The best people, actually. One of Abey's favourite people. And because Abey didn't much like hanging around inside the castle walls without being near a proper adult with proper magic that he properly trusted, he had maybe been sort of actually lingering in or near the Hospital Wing during a lot of his free time in the term so far. Professor Hirsch sort of got the same treatment, except he tended to be a little harder to find because he was so often IN his office, which was no good.
So ANYWAY, now that there was an actual technically proper class with Healer Man Reed, of course Abey was going to be there. And the best part about it, other than Reed? It was in the GROUNDS, not the castle.
Except that when Abey GOT there, to where everyone was gathered, he couldn't see the Healer anyway. Just kids, two professors, and a strange man he didn't recognise.
"... Where's Healer Man Reed?" he asked nobody in particular, his expression and his tone quite clearly betraying how heartbroken he suddenly felt. He stayed back, quite a fair distance, looking unsure. Because if Healer Man Reed wasn't going to be here, he wasn't sure he wanted to bother, especially if a stranger would be taking the class instead.
... Panic suddenly gripped Abey, almost physically actually. He could feel it, like a big clawed monster's hand squeezing his heart. And his lungs, even. Because OH NO WHAT IF. "Is he sick?!" Dying? DEAD?!
Is that why the professors were there? To break the news?! OH MERLIN IT WAS, WASN'T IT? THAT WAS WHAT WAS HAPPENING. Seriously, River has to deal with students like this boy...all year long? Oh wow. Monte dramatically swatted the air to dismiss the boy's ridiculous assumptions. What did River do to this child anyway? Why was he so terrified of the Healer being...gone? "Oh no honey, River is perfectly fine. I saw him earlier, but perhaps he has an emergency to attend to?" Monte wasn't sure of it too, so perhaps it would be best to just wait for the man...
But look at his hair! It reminded him of a young... Alec Summers. Quote:

"Hello everyone." The brunette smiled some and looked around, considering the supplies that were set out and the rather interesting man who stood out among the current crowd. Hm... Cream rinse. Lots of it. For you, missy. Merlin. These girls should start investing in hair products! Quote:

Having a healer in the family was both lovely and a nightmare.. but here he was. Besides, he thought it would be good to support his colleagues.
He had his hands in his pockets as he walked down to the grounds, and he nodded as he saw Kaysha and Camilla already there! He headed over to them and smiled warmly, "Hello Ladies. " He said as he stood casually by them..
He eyed the man down by the edge of the Lake but stayed back, letting the kids talk and interact with him. Oooh. New face! Hi! Monte had his index finger against his pursed mouth, imagining this man without a mustache. He'd totally look 10 years younger if he shaved it off. *wink wink* Quote:

And who was to blame?
Healer River Reed himself.
With his hands tucked deep into his pockets, the Defence Professor found himself strolling down towards the lake after Kalen himself. It wasn't surprising to see a number of students lined up there already. Rumour had it that these sessions or was it something else? were very popular, after all. What was surprising, however, was seeing the number of staff present for this little challenge. Huh.
And don't even get him started on the man near the edge of the lake
"Hello, everyone!" he said, once he was close enough to the group. The man let a small smile cross his face, mostly for the sake of one Abey Botros. His eyes, however, glanced around at the surrounding area and then up towards the castle and the path he'd just come from. No sign of Reed? They weren't going to have to take the lesson, did they? That hadn't been part of the plan.
And, more importantly, where was the Healer? Oh hello there gorgeous face and hair! Monte was quick to spot this man, because really, who'd have trouble seeing that face and hair?! "Roooderik, hello hello!" He'd been to his salon, and it would break his heart if he had forgotten him. Monte gave him air kisses on both cheeks, and immediately hooked his arm with his. "River instructed me to look out for you, and keep you close. Hopefully he'd be here soon." All the walking hair emergencies around him was slowly driving him crazy. Sighing, he pulled Roderick away from the students and made him stand beside him on the Great Lake's boat deck. Quote:

Only instead of dogs there was a terrifying man. The one shopkeeper from Hogsmeade with the TEETH that always gave the Hufflepuff the heebie jeebies. Like...what BIG teeth he had kind of TEETH.
The better to eat you with, m'dear?!
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuh..." he stammered, side stepping his way towards the general direction of Professor Hirsch. "Isheavampire?" he asked the Defense professor point blank. "We...goingtolearnaboutourbloodtypes?"
Also HI ABEY! We see you there with your sister, yes. Derf gave waves to both of them. With Roderick standing beside him now, Monte was able to hear what the young blond boy had to say. Vampire? Him? Okay, first of all vampires are lame because more often than not, they have terrible bed head (coffin?) and secondly they are mostly cooped up indoors which was boooring. So no kid, no blood sampling this afternoon.
The little one needed a mighty dose of cream rinse though. Quote:

And who was the man standing by the lake?
She smiled and waved at all the known faces, her eyes still drifting towards that man. Who WAS he, though? Why hadn't he introduced himself yet? She had so many questions but she distracted herself by studying all the supplies on the table.. it looked like the lesson was going to be quite interesting. Hm. Oh finally, another girl with great looking hair! Monte gave the newcomer a smile and an approving nod as he imagined her wearing a different hair style. A bob perhaps?
Hmm... Quote:

Still, even as she was still torn about attending, she found herself shuffling towards everyone else.
To her surprise, there were quite a few staff in attendance - was that the norm?? - so she smiled and waved (gave a very enthusiastic smile to Hirsch,) and moved closer to the other students, only stopping when she took note of one very familiar, very annoying, very still-much-ignoring-his-siblings, Gryffindor. Fun. She'd also spotted Daisy, Lucy, the Jessa girl, Hidlago, Derf (who remained an enigma to her,) Coretta (ugh), Olivia (who she greeted with a smile as well,) and others (she gave a general hello, how are you to those closest to her before standing off to the side.) No need to get that close to Levi when she was doing her absolute best to ignore his entire existence. She'd just have to talk to Daisy another time, she supposed. While his arm was still linked with Roderik, Monte could not help but clap once at the sight of this young lady. Just look at that gorgeous hair of hers! Her curls were to die for! It's a good thing she resides in a cold country, because imagine the damage of humidity if she lived in the tropics?! Quote:

There were some students there already and to his surprise a couple of Professor's as well. They all got a respectful nod of the head but he still looked unsure whether or not the lesson would be held here. Cause where was the Healer? And why was that person from Hogsmeade here?
Spotting his Head of House, Mason walked toward him. "Ehm, this is the Healer's class, right, Sir?" he asked unsure. Merlin's beard what if he had mistaken the location?! Monte turned his head as the boy sidled up next to Roderik. Though the question was directed to the man beside him, Monte simply nodded his head to answer his question, his eyes not leaving the boy's head. He must have coloured it countless times because look at the damaged strands! The dry ends! This boy is also a walking hair disaster! Quote:

The lessons she’d had since she’d gotten to Hogwarts had all been interesting, so she had walked out to the lake deciding that whatever was going to happen now was going to be interesting too. It had to be.
It didn’t hurt that, as she’d gotten closer to where everyone was gathering, she saw that there were a fair number of her housemates there, plus Derf, Jessa, Etta and Henry. And several professors plus the librarian, although she didn’t see the healer anywhere around. That was weird. Either way, she’d found herself a spot near Liv, giving the older girl a big smile and a bright “Hi” before she had addressed the adults that were there. “Hi Professors, Mr. Kennedy.” And the man down by the lake who she didn’t know. He definitely looked interesting. It would have been a good thing if Monte had seen the girl's hair because it looked silky soft. However, the last hair emergency he'd seen was enough for the hairstylist to reach his breaking point.
---
In all honesty, he was having an anxiety attack because LOOK.AT.THOSE.HAIR.DISASTERS. He wanted to scream that they all need to have some strong treatment! Look at those split ends! The frizz! Just UGH. How can these students live each day and walk the grounds of Hogwarts without a paper bag on their heads!?
No, this isn’t sitting well with him. As the hair stress got the best of him, Monte took an angry bite of his apple, eyeing Mason’s dry and damaged hair like it’s his number one enemy, and chewed on the juicy fruit.
...
But...what...is...that taste?
Monte immediately stopped chewing his food, dropped the apple on the ground and choked on his own saliva. He slowly took a step backward, his eyes rolled in the back of his head and collapsed on the lake scraping his right elbow and arm in the process. OH! And he'd been holding on to Roderik, so the professor must've lost his balance too???
Being knocked out really wasn’t part of the deal! After taking his plunge, Monte aimlessly floated on the Great Lake, unconscious, but still with gorgeous looking hair.
Uhm...help? Anyone?
