OOC Note: This thread, as well as Waiting Area for Healer Ashford's Office, is meant for non-patient meetings and greetings. If your character is ill or injured, please post in the Check-in Area for Patients then the Waiting Room for Patients and Visitors.

Before posting in this thread, you must first post in the Waiting Area for Healer Ashford's Office.

In its time, this particular office has housed a number of different Healers, most, Gabriella Ashford would assume, bringing about their very own special flair for decorating, meeting, and greeting. Healer Ashford knows not what it looked like when it first came to be, nor does she ever recall visiting it during the years she attended school here at Hogwarts. She simply strolled into it a few months ago---just after being hired as the newest Healer---and...well, took over in her own special way.

Healer Ashford, you see, is a pureblooded city girl, born and raised in Manhattan, New York, United States of America. Although she attended school at Hogwarts, her life before then, as well as her life afterwards, revolved around the hustling and bustling known as New York City. Behind her desk is a portrait (non-moving) of the Starbucks on the corner of 63rd and Broadway, a shop she used to frequent quite often in her twenties.

To the left of it is a framed cast photo of the 2049 Broadway production of "Annie." Who's that little girl in the green dress on the front row? It's ten-year-old Ellie in the role of "Tessie." To the right of it is another framed cast photo, this one of the 2047 Broadway production of Les Miserables, in which eight-year-old Ellie shared the roles of Young Eponine and Young Cosette with two other little girls.

Lining the left wall of the room are shelves which house Ellie's Healer literature and guides, her diplomas from Hogwarts and from Healer School, and a variety of other odds and ends Ellie has collected throughout the years. There are photos of Hogwarts friends, Healer School friends, and the Ashford family of seven. On the opposite wall is a rather long framed portrait containing seven different Hogwarts ties, each one representing all seven members of the Ashford family. There are two Slytherin house ties, once belonging to Ellie's brothers (twins Austin and Zac); a Ravenclaw and a Hufflepuff house tie, once belonging to Ellie's sisters (twins Jennifer and Melissa); Ellie's own tie, a red and gold one; and finally, a Slytherin and Gryffindor tie, once belonging to Ellie's parents, Will and Emma Ashford.

Please help yourself to a seat. Healer Ashford is quite happy to see you!
