| | |  The Office of Healer Gabriella Ashford
Banner by: GryffindollOOC 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!

Hmm.
"You've done a nice job healing them. I can't say I know what's going on, but I'll take steps to bulk up on security for the rest of the term. Please come to me if you have ANY new thoughts on what happened to you or if you see anything else suspicious. Perhaps you could ask your friends to follow you should you sleepwalk again."
He glanced back at Lawson. "Professor... a word with you outside, please?"
Marcus watched each and every student as the Healer explained their injuries and trying to come up with answers to what might have happened to them.
He had a few theories of his own.
He pushed off the wall when the headmaster spoke and he nodded and began to follow the man out of the room. Marcus hesitated at the door and looked back over his shoulder at Jake.
Why was it always him involved?
Heaving a deep sigh, Marcus exited the office and stepped out into the corridor.

"It wwwas the ice..." Jake said weakly, trying to get his cover story in before the rest of them blew it. "I've nuhh-NOT been bbblacking out again… it wwwas the ice," he insisted, wringing his hands.
And Jake didn't sleepwalk. The dreamless sleep potion and calming draught combined made sure that didn't happen.
"The ice…"
And a solitary tear ran down his cheek as Lawson made to leave with Tate.
And if they didn't believe that, then Jake would just have to say it was him.

Oliver swallowed dryly. Why did it feel like they were in trouble here?
Sleepwalking? He looked at the Tate. Come to think of it, the wound to his leg had been dirty; his clothes filthy. Maybe the headmaster's theory about them all sleepwalking was correct. If that was true, then Oliver was worried: he hadn't sleepwalked since he was twelve and that was due to stress. Before this happened, he didn't think he was stressed. But it was a little odd that he had gone to bed in the dorms and woken up in the common room. Had he been outside? Was that when his attacker struck?
Maaan... hs head was killing him now.
He squinted at the Headmaster and Professor Lawson, watching them leave together to talk. He looked at Healer Ashford with his tired eyes. If he was sleepwalking again, perhaps there was something she could prescribe to stop it.

He glanced back at Lawson. "Professor... a word with you outside, please?" A tiny hint of a smile flickered across Gabriella's face when the Headmaster told her she'd done well. Due to the situation at hand, though, the half-smile was gone only a second later. "Thank you, Headmaster. I don't have any ideas as to what could be happening either, but I'll certainly be on the lookout," she replied.
When Tate asked Marcus to meet him outside, Gabriella turned all her attention towards the children. "You weren't called in here because you're in some sort of immediate trouble for misbehavior. You were called in so as to properly alert the Headmaster of what happened to you," she explained. She could tell, especially by Jake's sudden string of explanations, that it was possible they'd misunderstood. "By showing up today, all of you have shown that you're willing to work with us to figure out what happened and why. Thank you for coming," she added, a warm smile widening across her face. It was time to lighten the atmosphere a little. "Who wants M&M cookies and hot chocolate?" She stood and retrieved a tray placed on a countertop somewhere in the back of her office. She laid the tray on her desk and motioned towards it.

Dylan raised his hand. Now that he knew he wasn't in trouble. Not that he thought he was anyway. He could do with a shirt though. Or some sort of covering. His chest was a tiny bit bare. "I would like a cookie and some hot chocolate please," he smiled. Mmmm cookie. He could lose the weight later. He had just been in mortal peril.

Wiping his eyes with the back of his hand, Jake coughed one more time and stood up. He wanted to get out, that was all. Nobody was listening to him. As many times as Jake told the story, Jake was starting to believe it was true himself.
"The ICE!" he insisted loudly, before he grabbed at his hair in an anxious gesture.
There was no point trying to explain, so Jake gave up on it. He wasn't staying for niceties either. Without another word, Jake had turned to the door and left also, muttering to himself about ice explosions as he went.

She laid the tray on her desk and motioned towards it. To Oliver, it seemed the tension in the room could be cut by a knife. He had focused his gaze on the floor again; his jaw was clenched and his foot had begun tapping out a fast, nervous beat on the floor. His head was pounting and his body was telling him he needed sleep. He was aware of the aches and pains in his body once again as he sat there. Maybe it was all because the calming draught was starting to wear off and he was itching to get out of here.
He looked at the healer when she broke the silence and also some of the tension, and he sighed almost audibly with relief when she informed them that they weren't in any trouble. The accusations of fighting by Headmaster Tate had got him worried. He didn't want this to be a repeat of Durmstrang – which, incidentally, was not his damn fault! Guu-ah!
An appreciative small and weak but genuine smile curled up his lips at the mention of hot chocolate and cookies. Headache or not and feeling sorry for himself, he wasn't going to pass up on that offer. He stood and made his way over to the tray and helped himself to a steaming hot mug of chocolatey goodness.
He took a sip. “Thanks.” He said to the nice lady. He was about to open his mouth to say something else when Weird Kid started on about ice again. Oliver watched him go with an eyebrow cocked. He turned back to the healer and shrugged.
He screwed up his face and looked at her almost apologetically, wondering whether he should have mentioned this when Tate was in the room. “I..er...I used to sleepwalk when I was a kid." He rubbed at his bald patch with his free hand. "The healer said it was cos of stress cos...” ...Well she didn't need to know the reasons. “...I just wondered if there's a potion or something to stop it? I really don't like the idea of walking around the corridors or grounds at night when.. when...” He trailed off finishing the sentence -'there's a psycho on the loose'- in his head.

"It's a really big and exciting place with lots of lights and people." Saying such made her miss her hometown, but she was happier than she'd ever been working right here at Hogwarts.
Her eyes flickered towards her family's ties, and she smiled once again. "I have their ties as a lasting reminder of my family and those I love so very much. They live far away, and I don't see them often," she explained. Just then she heard a noise outside her door, and she figured there was quite a crowd gathering outside.
"Mr. Cullack, Mr. Rose, I'm afraid I need to cut our meeting short. I've sent word for several students, as well as the Headmaster, to meet with me here in my office. Judging by the noise outside, I believe they're here," she said with a smile. "Feel free to come back later if you wish. Mr. Rose, you may leave your flower with me, and I'll see to it that it gets tended to." Blinking at the Healer when she explained patiently that New York was in America, he nodded. Aaron had of course heard of America, but it was just that to him: foreign stories that seemed almost imaginary. And yet sounded unbelievably AMAZING! Of course the fact that he liked lights and people didn't hurt anything.
Aww; he wanted to reach out and give Healer Ashford a HUG!!! She didn't have family close by but the ties was all she had to 'tie her to her roots'. Heh. Family ties. "That's very tying of you." Heh. More puns! Tie was really such a fun word!
Oh. More people she needed to speak with. Nodding in understanding, he was about to walk away WITH the half-flower when she mentioned it. "Please, if you don't mind, Healer Ashford. And I shall come back and visit on the flower soon. Thanks!" And with that, the first year turned and left amid the crowds of students . . .

A sudden outburst caught her attention, and Gabriella jumped a little before turning towards Jake. Although his back was turned to her, she gave the boy an apologetic look. Whatever it was that he'd been through had likely frightened him, and it was no wonder he was sticking so close to the ice explosion story. She drew in a deep breath then looked away. Quote:

The corners of Gabriella's lips curled upward into a warm smile. "You're welcome, Mr. Greenwood," she said. For a moment, her thoughts returned to the moment she'd found him laid across the floor in the Entrance Hall, but the thought left her a second later. All the injured children seemed fine now. She just hoped it stayed that way.
She narrowed her eyes in thought as she listened to the boy describe his sleepwalking habits. Sleepwalking itself was bad enough, not to mention how bad it'd be with... did he just say a psycho on the loose? Gabriella narrowed her eyes even further as she turned and headed towards the potions cabinet she had in her office. Leave it to a Healer to have a potions cabinet in her office. "I do," she said, passing a phial to him. "Mr. Greenwood, did you mention a psycho being on the loose?" She imagined that was just his fear talking, but it was worth it to ask anyway. Quote:

Gabriella laughed lightly at Aaron's "tie joke." She had to admit that it was quite a humorous comment for an eleven---or twelve?---year old boy to make. "Yes, yes. I suppose the ties do...well, tie...me to my roots," she said, still smiling and laughing. "Please come back, Aaron. I'd love to hear more about your flower and see how you've progressed with the spell you used to conjure it," she said. "Have a nice day!" A moment later, the office seemed to be quickly filling up with the crowd of students who had come to discuss their mysterious illnesses...

He liked to be aware of what he was doing. And wandering around in your pjs with your hair all fluffed up was a little undignified... even for Oliver.
He was still examining the phial when the nurse spoke again. “Huh?" Ooops.. he hadn't meant to say that bit out loud. “Urm...” he pulled a face and rubbed at his bald patch once again. “You know what I mean. However this happened.” He gestured to himself and the injuries he had whether healed or not. He drank a little more of his chocolate.. his mind going walk about as to what the hell could have happened. Every single thought or idea was making him all the more twitchy and nervous.

Gabriella nodded once in reply to Oliver's question. "Make sure you take it when you're already in bed. It works immediately, so you'll likely fall asleep right where you are," she warned. She wouldn't want to find out he'd taken it on the way back to the common room and fallen asleep in the middle of some corridor.
She was still waiting on the reply to the question she'd asked, though. She was wondering if Oliver knew anything of the attacker (if indeed there was one). The comment he'd made sure sounded like he knew something. In the end, though, it seemed it had just been an assumption. "Very well then. If you do remember anything or hear anything, please let someone know," she remarked. Quote:

"These are good." "You're welcome, Mr. Denver," she replied, reaching over and grabbing a cookie for herself. M&M cookies were some of her favorites, so she just couldn't resist. "Oh, and thank you for the comment on the cookies. I do love the M&M flavored ones."
Remembering that the meeting with the injured was over, and they were mostly just discussing the treats now, Gabriella stood and headed towards the door. "Miss Laksh is waiting, too. You're welcome to stay, but I'm going to let her in, as well." When the door opened, she softly called for Gold then motioned for the girl to come inside.

Tiberius had sat most of the meeting with his hands in his lap, his head down. Silent.
It didn't change when she offered the cookies or assured them that they weren't in trouble. Maybe the weren't in scolded, punished trouble. But whatever had happened was trouble.
He stood, as she opened the door for another student, and made his way out of the room, head still down. Still silent.
And worried.

Remembering that the meeting with the injured was over, and they were mostly just discussing the treats now, Gabriella stood and headed towards the door. "Miss Laksh is waiting, too. You're welcome to stay, but I'm going to let her in, as well." When the door opened, she softly called for Gold then motioned for the girl to come inside. "M&Ms are good," Dylan smiled, "Have you tried chocolate frog cookies? They are amazing!" His house elf used to make them. Actually he could do with sending an owl to get some of his cookies sent to him.
"I would like to stay," he smiled. He would love to see Gold again anyway. Who wouldn't? She was cute.

It didn't change when she offered the cookies or assured them that they weren't in trouble. Maybe the weren't in scolded, punished trouble. But whatever had happened was trouble.
He stood, as she opened the door for another student, and made his way out of the room, head still down. Still silent.
And worried. As she was calling Gold into the office, Gabriella watched silently as Tibi made his way out. She didn't try and force words out of him, as she knew he was here for a rather not-so-pleasant visit anyway. Her eyes followed his retreating form until he was down the hallway and out of sight. She motioned for Gold one more time then turned and headed back inside the office. Quote:

Her serious expression changed to a smile when Dylan mentioned how much he liked M&Ms. "Oh, so do I, but I've never tried the chocolate frog cookies," she said, smoothing out her skirt as she sat back down. Despite the fact that she was a pureblood witch and had attended Hogwarts, she'd spent lots and lots of time in the muggle world. They just didn't have chocolate frog cookies in New York City. "I'd like to try them someday, though."
She waved her hand as if to say 'sure, no problem' when Dylan said he'd be staying. "That's fine by me. We can catch up with Miss Laksh, too," she remarked.

"I would like to stay," he smiled. He would love to see Gold again anyway. Who wouldn't? She was cute. 'Twas time, then?
Gold had closed The First City of Love with a soft thud, and she dropped the novel into her bag now, as she stepped into Healer Ashford's office. Merlin, she knew she had had to wait! Gold wasn't really the kind of person to wait too long, unless the matter was, say, a really important or urgent one. She would have just left and come back later, but she hadn't because she loved medical magic, loved healing, and it didn't really matter if she had to wait a bit, to talk to a good healer.
"G'day ma'am," she said, with a polite smile, as she stepped in. Ma'am... that sounded SO formal. Really! Oh, well. Her gaze swept the office, and landed on Dylan. She gave her boyfriend a cheerful, little wave and then, resisting the urge to pout and ask why he was here, turned her attention back to Healer Ashford.

With a smile on her face, Gabriella watched and waited while Gold made her way into the office. Gold---what a unique name. Gabriella was such a fan of uniqueness, so it was no wonder she found herself absolutely loving the Gryffindor prefect's name. "Good day to you, too, Miss Laksh. Please, take a seat," she said, motioning towards one of the empty chairs. She slid the plate of M&M cookies closer to the edge of table. "Have a cookie, too, if you'd like."
She raised her wand and, with a non-verbal charm, gently closed her office door. There was no one waiting outside anymore, so there was no point in leaving the door wide open. "What can I do for you today, Miss Laksh?"

"What can I do for you today, Miss Laksh?" Why was Dylan here? Gold really wanted to ask him that. But now was probably not the time. The fifth year turned her bright, green eyes back to Healer Ashford, at the same time as the Healer spoke up. Something about taking a seat.
"Please call me Gold," she said cheerfully, as she chose a seat at random, and sat down. "Thank you," she added, when she was offered the cookies. She wasn't really hungry, but she took one, just to be polite. Taking a tiny bite, she looked back at Healer Ashford.
"I just wanted to come and see you," she told the Healer. "Because you're a healer, and that's totally what I want to be, after I've completed my education!" She was so going to the best institute for medical magic out there, the moment she graduated from Hogwarts.
Ah, healing.
Such a wonderful passion.

Such a wonderful passion. Gabriella remained silent as Gold made her way into the office and took the offered seat. "You're welcome. They're one of my favorite treats," she said, speaking of the M&M cookies she'd just offered the prefect. Despite how delicious they looked, Gabriella talked herself out of eating another. As a Healer, she knew all too well how important it was to have healthy eating habit's Two cookies was good enough for her---for now, at least.
Her face lit up when the girl mentioned how she wanted to become a Healer once she graduated from Hogwarts. "Oh, I'm so glad to hear that! There was never any doubt in my mind that healing was the perfect profession for me," she responded, "and I still feel that way to this day. Are you interested in a specific healing school?"

Sidney makes it to the healer's office panting for breath and sweating bullets. She bends over her arms wraped around her chest. "HEALER ASHFORD!!!" Sidney coughs and gasps for breath. Her lungs burn as she breathes as hard as she can. | |

When the door to her office suddenly flew open and a Hufflepuff girl ran inside, Gabriella was startled so much that she nearly knocked the plate of M&M cookies right off the desk and onto the floor. Sensing something was wrong, she pushed herself out of her chair and away from her desk. "Miss Marlowe?" she asked, remembering the girl's name from their brief meeting in Potions class. "What's happened? Are you hurt?"

"No Ma'am, I'm just out of breath. Professor Lawson told me to come and tell you he's bringing an injured student to the hospital wing." Sidney continues to breath heavily. | |

Sidney continues to breath heavily. With her heart still beating at a fairly fast rate, Gabriella nodded in acknowledgment. "Professor Lawson...injured student...," she said, repeated bits and pieces of what the girl had just said. Her words were broken, because she was scurrying about the room grabbing a few phials and equipment she thought she might need. She'd healed her fair share of severely injured children lately, so she pretty much had an idea of what to expect.
Turning to the few students still in her office, she said, "I may or may not be right back. You may wait here, and if I'm too long, just let yourselves out," she said. "I'm terribly sorry." Although, she imagined the children understood that she needed to leave in order to tend to an injured student. On that note, she turned and hurried out the door, motioning for Sydney to follow suit. OOC for those who were previously meeting with Gabriella: Feel free to play this as you wish. Either way, if you choose for your character to stay, I'll roleplay Gabriella coming right back in to finish the meeting.

Still panting from her run to the Hospital Wing, Sidney nod and follows after Healer Ashford. Sidney didn't get a good look at the injured girl. She was just a blur of blood and dirt, but the girl still looked like she was in pretty bad shape. | |

She was still waiting on the reply to the question she'd asked, though. She was wondering if Oliver knew anything of the attacker (if indeed there was one). The comment he'd made sure sounded like he knew something. In the end, though, it seemed it had just been an assumption. "Very well then. If you do remember anything or hear anything, please let someone know," she remarked. Right. Take it when he was in bed or he would be falling asleep in the corridor.. or somewhere. Heh. But knowing it actually made you sleep was a good thing. No more interrupted nights.
He nodded. If he could get his brain into gear and remember anything he would probably tell Ashford first: for a Healer, she was a pretty cool one. But it hurt his head straining to remember anything right now so he'd given up for the time being.
He drained his hot chocolate. Great stuff. He smiled and uttered his thanks to the Healer once again, grabbed another two cookies off the tray and headed out the door.
