Mary Seacole
77. Cheerful
I woke up to find a worried face staring down at me.
“What are you doing here? Did Sirius send you?” She’d covered me with a blanket.
“No, he didn’t. I came to make sure that you were ok.”
I sat up slowly, looking for my wand and clothes.
“When did you get here?”
“Just after dawn.”
She knew what she was doing then. That thought, along with her concerned smile, made me feel ridiculously cheerful. She kept herself safe, but she'd come to make sure I was safe too.
“Come on then Mary Seacole, time for breakfast.”
“Mary who?”
(Mary Seacole was a nurse from Jamaica who wanted to go to help the soldiers in the Crimean War. After she was turned down by various official bodies, she set off on her own and opened the British Hotel near the front line, providing rest, recuperation and medical treatment for those most in need of it. She was incredibly brave and quite stubborn too. Remus knows who she is because he’s very well read  )
