Looking at the Healer hopefully, Adam crossed his fingers behind his back. Just so that she couldn't see them. But he didn't know why he was crossing them, because she had to be able to heal it! She was clever, and a witch, and a healer! She had to be able to do it... Riight? "Erm... well, yeah I was asking. You can do i..." he began, but trailed off, his fingers slacking behind his back.

She couldn't do it. Trying not to let his face fall, Adam realised he should've guessed. "Yeah, we tried that," he said, motioning to the paste covered burn on his face. Result of Lori's failed attempt at 'Reparo'. Not that it was her fault. She hadn't known that it wouldnt work.

"I think I heard something about that, yeah..." Adam said with a shrug, running his hand through his hair. "I'll do that. Write to Olivanders..." Yeah, he would. He'd go and find Lori now, and then go to the Owlery, and send it to the wand shop.

"But thanks Miss," he finished. Standing up from the edge of the bed. "And thanks for the advice and everything."

When Adam motioned towards the burned area of his face, realization dawned on Gabriella. Ahh, so that was what happened! She considered that scenario for a moment while she continued to study Adam's face. When he spoke again, her eyes flickered away. "I see," she muttered. "It's too bad wands aren't easily mended, or I'd have done that for you in a heartbeat."

It was amazing how bones and deep gashes could be mended with just a few swish and flicks, yet nothing could be done for a wand---a piece of wood. A magical piece of wood, though, and that was the cause of it being so difficult to mend. "You're very welcome. Have a good day," she added.

Chris remained unmoving as Healer Ashford levitated him along the passage, beyond the waiting room, until they reacted room 3. He would definately have to be more careful in Quidditch Practice.

Upon entering room three of the healing area, Gabriella guided Chris's levitated body towards the nearest bed. Her first order of business would be to revive him, something she could hopefully easily do with the help of a potion. With Chris safely lying on a hospital bed, Gabriella headed towards the back of the room to retrieve a potion from one of her many cabinets.

When she'd found the phial she needed, she returned to Chris's side. Placing the palm of her hand under his head and inclining it just a little, Gabriella tilted the phial towards Chris's mouth. As the potion trickled down his throat, she watched his eyes, waiting for any sign that he was coming to.

As Chris lay there uncounsious on the hospital bed, he felt a warm and tingling sensation, as the potion the Healer was administering him, went down his thoat burning slightly.

He caughed a few times and after a minute or so, his eyelids twitched and then the Prefects left eye flickered open. "Gahh...uuhhhh." he said as he reached his hand to touch his forehead. "Ouchhh!!!" he yelled. He went to sit up and see what was going on but he felt a blinding pain in his head and fell back against the pillow.

Wait, pillow? Where was he? The last thing he remebered was flying on the Quidditch Pitch, for it being Gryffindor's practice night, and he was just about to hit an oncoming bludger, saw something gold fly past his face and then he couldnt remember anything else.

Once the potion was successfully down, Gabriella stood by and silently waited for any sign of revival. A few seconds ticked by with absolutely no indications whatsoever. For a moment, Gabriella feared the potion hadn't affected Chris at all.

So it was no surprise when Gabriella found herself more than just a little startled at the sound of Chris's loud exclamation. She hadn't been prepared for that one at all. Taking a deep breath and putting her hand over her heart, Gabriella said, "Hospital Wing, Mr. Potter. You were hit with a bludger during Quidditch."

"I can give one additional potion for pain, but I'm afraid the rest of your healing will rely on lots of bed rest," she said. Rummaging through her potions cabinet, Gabriella retrieved a phial of said potion as passed it to Chris. "Drink up," she instructed.

Chris looked around again, much slower this time, and saw and heared that he was in the Hospital Wing. He focused on Healer Ashford and then felt his face turn pink and warm. "I'm sorry Ms. Ashford, didnt mean to yell." he said with a sheepish grin.

He was hoping she wouls suggest something for pain. He took the small phial she handed him and then drank it right there. he felt much better after he was finished, but he still hurt some. "Ok so bedrest, gotcha Ms. Ashford!" he said sitting up and swinging his legs onto the floor.

Not wanting Chris to feel embarrassed or apologetic about the fact that he'd yelled so loudly, Gabriella gave the prefect a warm smile. "There's no need to apologize, Mr. Potter. Your reaction was perfectly understandable," she remarked. Sure, the reaction had definitely given her poor heart a test to see if it was working properly, but in the end, she definitely understood.

She nodded in reply when he mentioned knowing and understanding the need for bed rest. "That's right, Mr. Potter, and do try and be careful the next time you're playing Quidditch," she added. Although, she knew Quidditch accidents were really quite common and unavoidable at times. "Now you head off and get some bed rest, and I'm going to go take care of the others in the waiting room. Have a good day!" With another smile and a wave, Healer Ashford turned and headed out the room.

Emily's body floated in to room three by the charm Healer Ashford had cast.

Once she and Emily had made it into room three, Gabriella carefully guided the girl's body to the nearest hospital bed. With Emily lying down, Gabriella was free to lower her wand and end the levitation charm. She took a seat on her stool and scooted it closer to the bed, needing to briefly examine Emily before she started administering potions and the such.

It was clear the girl was suffering from trauma to her head. She'd taken a fall, Gabriella could tell, judging by the looks of the many bumps and scratches on her body. The first order of business was to administer Emily a potion that would bring her out of her unconscious state. Once she'd retrieved the potion, the Healer inclined Emily's head and gently poured the liquid down her throat.

Emily came round slowly, she heard some rummaging and she tried to open her eyes, which on her part took a lot of effort. Emily opened her eyes and was freaking out WHERE WAS SHE! Emily's eyes widened and her breathing turned into a fearful pant.

Gabriella took a seat on the stool just next to Emily's hospital bed. The Ravenclaw girl was beginning to panic, so the Healer smiled warmly at her and took her hands. "You're in the Hospital Wing, Miss Moonfield. From what I can gather, you fell and knocked yourself unconscious," she said. Releasing the girl's hands, she retrieved a tube of ointment and spread it over the scrapes and scratches. "The potion will keep you from falling unconscious again, and the ointment I just applied will heal your scrapes and scratches. The bump will heal naturally in about a day or two. You're going to be just fine, though."

Emily was confused... she fell? AGAIN?? how can she keep doing this! "My head hurts" She said finally after a while.

Gabriella could see the confusion all over the little girl's face. It had to be uncomfortable to wake up in a hospital ward and have no idea what happened. She gave Emily a sympathetic look when she mentioned how her head hurt. "I'm afraid that's a result of the bump on your head. Unfortunately, there's no potion or miracle cure for a bump, so it's just an injury that needs time to heal," she explained. She could, however, give the girl a Headache Potion. She headed off to the cabinet and retrieved one, bringing it back to Emily moments later. "Drink this, and it'll help with the headache. After you've done so, you may leave. Just remember to get some bed rest."

Gabriella headed towards the door, turning just before she walked out. "I need to go and see about a few other injured children, but remember to take that potion, then you may leave. Bed rest, though---bed rest," she added. Afterwards, she turned and headed back to the waiting room.

Violet sat on the bed when she got levitated. "Thanks that a lot better than I would have done walking. Nice to see you again Healer Ashford" said Violet yes it was again she had already seen her in the begining of the year.

Emily's unconcious form was laid gently on a vacant bed by the healer.

Upon entering room three, Gabriella first came to the bed Violet sat on. She took a few moments to examine her, looking for any affects caused by the potion the girl had consumed and the fall she'd taken shortly afterwards. "Hmm," Gabriella mumbled aloud, thinking of the best possible solution for Violet.

She stood and rummaged through her potions cabinet for a moment, returning a few seconds later with a potion that would reverse the effects caused by the potion Violet had previously taken. She lifted the girls head then gently poured the potion down her throat.

When she was done with that dose, she retrieved a second potion---a Strengthening Potion---that would bring Violet back to her normal, healthy self. Once again, she lifted Violet's head and gently poured the second potion down her throat. In just a few moments, the potion would take affect and the girl would feel much better.

In the meantime, Gabriella headed across the room and towards Emily's bed. Emily was still unconscious, which would mean that she needed to be awakened before anything else happened. Repeating the same procedures she did with Violet, Gabriella retrieved and potion and gently poured it down Emily's throat. This would awaken the girl in just a few moments.

While the Healer waited for the potion to take affect, she pulled out her wand and began healing the cuts and gashes on Emily's body. With a swish and a flick of her wand, the gashes began to slowly close. Within a minute, Gabriella had closed them all. After she'd cleaned the blood of the young Slytherin, she retrieved an ointment from a nearby cabinet and applied it to the small scratches the girl had obtained.

She gently shook the girl and softly said, "Miss Black? Miss Black, you're going to be just fine."

"That burns my throat." she said coughing. While she waited for it to work, she asked "Healer Ashford I was wondering if I could go home. I don't want to stay in Hogwarts anymore."

Upon hearing that the potion burned Violet's throat, Gabriella gave the little girl a sympathetic look. She hated for children to be hurt, despite that being a large part of her job. Well---actually hurt children was her job. Healing them, that is.

She sighed softly when the girl asked about leaving Hogwarts. "I'm afraid that's something out of my control. That would be a decision you and your parents would have to make," she said. "If you'd like to talk about it, though, feel free to drop by my office. For now, though, you're free to go."

Someone was lost..... someone was calling them...Miss Black.... they'd been found.... they were going to be fine... that was good.... but who were they?....and why were they lost... Miss Black.... the name stirred something in her memory....Black.....haha like Sirius Black...and....a girl called Emily?... Emily Black...that was a nice name...but why was the girl lost?.... or at least, why did she need to be found?....but she was ok.... that was good... but that name was so familiar... was it her friends name?... no, she hadnt made many friends here, she was too quiet...then who's name was it?...and what was her name? ... oh well, that didnt matter.... Then it hit her. That was her name! Suddenly she was aware of other things, too. A pillow under her head, sticky stuff on her arms. Abrubtly her eyes opened and she sat up. White walls joined to the white floor, white sheets on the white beds, a lady dressed in white, white paste on her arms. Hospital. But why.... Then she remembered. Potions...experimental spells...cauldron explosions...blleeding arm...blood! Emily twisted sharply and was sick over the bed at the thought. Urgh, she'd fainted again hadn't she...oh dear she really had to get over that. In the mean time, Emily lay back down and tried to get the horrible taste out of her mouth.

Having expected the girl to be a little sick once the potion took affect, Gabriella had stepped a good ways away from the bed and gently kicked a bedpan towards it. Becoming sick on one's stomach was a typical reaction to all the stress caused from being unconscious and injured. True to what she believed, the girl had gotten sick only a moment later. Gabriella made a slight face at the now-filled bedpan, but otherwise just used her wand to scourgify it clean.

She retrieved a Strengthening Potion and brought it back to Emily's bedside. "Try and lift your head to drink this. It'll bring back your strength and energy," she said. To help out, Gabriella gently put her hand on Emily's back and guided her to sit up a bit. "As soon as you've taken it, you may go. You'll need to head right to the Common Room for some extra bed rest, though."

The nurse came back over with a potion in her hands and helped her sit up, telling her to drink. She did so, grimacing slightly as she swallowed the bitter potion. She could leave? That was good, she needed rest, she thought.
Thanking the nurse and appologising quietly for being sick every where, she gingerly stood and turned to leave. Wait a minuite.."Nurse..err Healer? How did i get in here? And what happened to my wand?" She tried not to panic, but her wand was a part of her now and as she was still slightly dazed from unconsiousness, she began to worry...she hadn't lost it had she? Oh no...

"Thank you." said Violet smiling as she left the Hospitol Wing. Freedom! she thought.

Once the potion had been consumed, Gabriella discarded of the phial then wiped her hands on a nearby washcloth. When Violet apologized, Gabriella waved her hand as if to say 'don't even worry about'. She knew the girl was sick and hadn't been able to stop herself from throwing up.

"According to the check-in book, Mr. Danial Kaiser brought you here from Potions class. I'd find Daniel or head back to class if you're missing your wand. Chances are, it's in either place," she truthfully answered. As far as she remembered, Violet hadn't had her wand with her when Gabriella had found her. "Now that you're better, I need to go and see to the other students still waiting in the waiting room. Have a good day, Miss Riddle."

Alexa winced slightly as Healer Ashford magically set her down on the bed. She held tightly to Mr. Kapoor's blanket and yet she shivered still from the loss of blood. Her left eye, still oozing gunky junk. YUCK. Turning a sad little eye to the HEaler she said, "Can you fix me, Miss? I hurt all over... and and and m-my back is pretty bad too." She was willing herself not to cry....
