Their order arrived and Lee took a sip of his coffee, about ready to spit it out again when Cari explained that the school was flooding. "Flooding!? How do you mean? Like ACTUALLY flooding? The whole castle? And mermaids? I thought Hogwarts were on good terms with the merfolk in the lake?" This news almost made Lee envious that Cari had the job she did -- it sounded a lot more exciting than curing cuts and grazes all day with the occasional REAL emergency in which he could handle. Despite the fact he was now a newly turned resident, did not mean the more experienced Healers fully trusted him yet. Hmph.
"But wait... you're scared of water right?" PING! The noise startled him for a moment before he realised he was being paged from work. He pulled the pocketwatch out of his robes and examined the message engraved on it, sent to him by one of his interns. "Sorry... gimmie a sec," removing his wand he tapped it and uttered some instructions before returning the pocketwatch back where it came from.
"You get floods and I get nervous, hysterical interns -- life is so unfair. But yeh, are you okay? Coping? Is the Headmaster helping ensure you are kept well away?" Boy he sure was playing 20 questions, right? "Do you plan to contact the Ministry?" he asked through gritted teeth, still bitter about the previous experiences he had had with their so-called government. Cari didn’t like to think about the intern program. You don’t drop out just before certification if it was all smiles and cruppies. Best intern? No not really. The best wouldn’t have panicked.
“It’s only up to the first floor. We’re managing. There is a whole upheaval with the Merfolk hierarchy and Hogwarts is apparently caught in the middle. Aren’t we always?” Cari took refuge in her tea as Lee checked his messages. Well that was one thing she was glad she missed out on.
Cari snorted in a very unladylike fashion. “Lee, do you honestly think I told the Headmaster that I’m hydrophobic? And admit I’m incapable of doing… anything?” Do you know me at all? “And so far the Ministry is doing exactly what they do best; interfering where they aren’t called for and ignoring those who actually need them.”
