Why that Ravenclaw (Dahlia) decided to do a performance while they were on break was testament enough to the fact these children were overworked and didn’t know when or how to take a break. It was sad really, to never be able to fully shut down. It was obvious they were being pushed too hard by the staff.

Healer Poppy turned to the incessant third year Gryffindor girl at the question of the bread.

“No no, you don’t need to worry about that, a secret recipe, formulated with care. Nothing you need to concern yourselves with.” Nothing any of them needed to concern themselves with. The bread was good and that was all they needed to know. There were very few secrets the woman kept, this was one of them.

Her smile returning, Healer Poppy levitated some bread over to the former healer. “Help yourself. We were just talking about how great it was. I think that’s all for today, children. No need to fuss yourselves any further. I’m sure there’s enough for your professors to go off. Have some bread on your way out.”
