Alice nodded. It definitely helped having someone to focus on. Alice turned and looked around a little bit, then jumped when she saw a huge snake crawling down through the window.

"It's not real, it's not real, it's not real," Alice muttered to herself, clinging to Rubiey's arm.

Rubiey jumped violently when Alice grabbed her arm. "Alice?!" She asked loudly. "What is it, Alice? It's not real. Close your eyes, and take deeeeeep breaths." She said in a calm voice, even though her hands were shaking now. Where was this nurse?!

Alice loosened her grip on Rubiey. "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. It's just I hate snakes." Alice was focusing on her breathing but sadly the humungous black snack crawling towards her was not going away. Perhaps the less she believed it was real, the less it would be. Or not.

Alice closed her eyes, breathing deeply, but she started to feel the room shaking. She gripped the chair tightly with her free arm, it shaking violently in her hands.

"It's alright Rubiey. It will pass," Alice said, more for herself than Rubiey.

"Alice, it's alright, nothings shaking. Don't hold the chair so tightly, you're gonna hurt yourself." Rubiey said, trying to slacken Alices hold on the chair.

Alice loosened the grip on her chair and opened her eyes when she felt it. The snake.

Alice looked down and there it was on her lap. Perhaps if she didn't look at it, it wouldn't be so frightening. Alice turned her attention to Rubiey and smiled.

"Sorry, this must be horrifying. It's bad enough that I am going through it, but dragging you along too?" Alice felt terrible for bringing Rubiey into this. "I'm so sorry," Alice said, as the bricks from the ceiling started to crash down around her.

A humorless laugh escaped Rubiey's lips. "Alice, don't apologise! It's not your fault! It's not like you want this to happen!" Rubiey smiled. Alice was doing great, but had it finished? Rubiey didn't think so, as the look of terror still hadn't left Alices eyes.

Alice felt herself starting to laugh as well. Rubiey was right. It's not like she chose for this to happen to her.

"Rubiey, I think it's stopping," Alice said, the black snake sliding back towards the window. The bricks of the ceiling were still falling down, but the shaking had definitely gotten less violent. "The snake is leaving, and the shaking is a little less violent, but the bricks from the ceiling are still falling down."

Rubiey laughed in relief. "Alice, imagine the bricks aren't falling down. Try it!" Rubiey had the idea, and hoped it would work for the mean time. Alice must be petrified.

Alice tried to picture the room normally without the bricks falling. She squeezed her eyes tight, thought about it for a moment, and then opened them. No such luck. She knew the bout was coming to an end but she was really very anxious to see the nurse. Surely there was a solution for these bouts in the wizarding world of medicine?

Iris looked up from Birdy!Jimbo and nodded at the Healer. Room one. Right. Glancing at Leilani, Iris smiled a bit and stood up, and headed over to where they were told to go.

Oooh, she SO hoped that Healer Moretti would be able to turn Jimbo back to his normal state...

When Lily returned to the waiting room, she was pleased to find that there were only two other girls left. It was always good to see the room relativity empty, it meant she had less work, sure, BUT it also meant that the children who were not there, were healthy and in one piece.

"Off to Room Four for you dears." She said.

Seeing the nurse come out Alice got up and headed to room four, carefully side stepping to avoid a brick from falling on her. Any time that wanted to stop she would be okay. She didn't know if Rubiey wanted to come with, so she just waved, motioning to her that she would be okay.

When the nurse came out, Rubiey smiled in relief. She was really worried about Alice, but she wasn't sure if Alice wanted her to come, but Alice motioned to her and she followed her into room 4.

Simon walked with Viky up to the hospital wing after the incident in charms class. About to offer to write, the boy let her be when she handled it on her own and settled on trying to vanish the last of the shaving cream and feathers. No sense in having the nurse think they both had gotten hurt in an attack with a large magical chicken.

Viky sat in the seat next to Simon, pulling her wand and trying - again - to clean off the foam and feathers. She probably looked like a human chicken... if that made sense. But yeah, whatever, she was still covered in feathers and foam. 'Scourgify!' she muttered, waving her wand around with her left hand. Eeesh, she was so uncoordinated.

Jayce walked into the waiting room with Eirian Vaughn in his arms. Mehh. She was still trying to sleep, but he was doing his best to make sure she didn't. Who knew what could happen if she did? Well, he obviously didn't. He glanced down at his best friend, grinning and almost knowing she was not happy with him for keeping her from her beauty slumber. He walked over to one of the chairs, plopped her in one, and sat himself in the one next to her, awaiting the arrival of the healer.

Eirian grunted as she was placed down in a chair, still clinging to her best friend. She was immensely cold and tired, and she couldn't think straight. Shock had set into her body, and she felt very queasy. Groaning, she snuggled closer to Jayce, wishing she would stop hurting, that she could get back into her right state of mind, where she wasn't weak. But here she was, cowering and infantile and... pathetic. All because of a little bit of water and a stupid, stupid grindylow. Urgh. But... even as she insulted herself endlessly, a smile spread across her mouth. Jay was warm, a sensation that felt amazing as she shivered and sniffled and tried to ignore the burning of her throat.

Lara entered the Hospital wing feeling very tired as her scar on her forehead continued to bleed and her bruise was becoming more painful, her lip was bleeding but she could stand. Lara collapsed on the first chair she saw as she said to her friend who came with her "Ah, I've noticed that the hospital wing is really far.." she said breathing fast.

Groan

Salander collapsed onto the closest seat by the door, gripping his bleeding knee. Alice' bandage has now taken the bright shade of crimson, the bleeding not having stopped as they limped all the way from the COMC grounds. Getting up moving staircases didnt help alleviate the pain either. "Arrgh, who wouldve though of putting the Hospital Wing all the way up here anyhow?" he grumbled.

Rubiey sat next to Lara, and nodded. "Mmhmm. Lets not get hit by the tree again.." She never wanted to even see the tree again.. She was finding it hard to breathe; she still felt winded.

Alice was exhausted...that had been a lot of work. "Well, we got you here," Alice said with a smile. "If you want I can stay, although I'm sure the Nurse will be able to fix that very quickly," Alice said with a smile, eyeing her homemade bandage on his leg that wasn't really working anymore.

Alice turned and saw Rubiey with cuts all over her face. "Are you alright Rubiey?" Alice didn't want to crowd up the waiting room area since she was just fine. "We'll talk about it in the common room when you get back?" Alice said, unsure that it was okay for her to just be chilling out in the hospital wing. The nurse had been very nice to her and pleasant, but she imagined she only wanted the people who were actually hurt here.

Rubiey looked up and spotted Alice. She smiled. "I'm fine. I met the Whomping Willow." She grinned. "I'll tell you about it in the common room." She nodded.

"Room Two."

She continued along the line.

Casting a look at the two, Lily motioned them to the hall, "Room Three."

"Room Four."

And now.....

"You two don't even need a room." She mused, walking over to stand beside the child, with the simple flick of her wand, the bruises, cuts and bumps were healed right there in the waiting room, and then, Lily produced a vial. "Pepperup." She explained. Sure, it wasn't usually used for this kind of thing, but it would work perfectly fine. She handed another vial to the other girl with an encouraging nod.

Rubiey took the vial from the nurse, and smiled. "Thank you." She murmured, and drank the bottle in one go. She was warmed up instantly, and she felt alot better. The cut across her face had disappeared too. Magic was awesome! "That's better.." She said, grinning at the nurse, then at Lara. "You ready?" She asked her.

"Yeh I won't get near it again" Lara said to Rubiey as she was sitting. Afew minutes the healer came into the room and started looking at the patients who were siiting as well, and she sent each to a room , as she got to Lara and Rubiey she annouced that it wasn't dangerous so the healer waved with her wand and healed the cuts and bruises at once. Lara thought that the healer is super expert she didn't time at all she propably sees alot of more difficult things aday. Lara took the vial and smiled at the kind woman " Thank you " Lara said as she stood up , she was wondering how to use this medicine but the healer seemed to be busy , should she bother her??!! or she improvise ??
As Lara saw that Rubiey has drank it , she did the same "Yeh, it's way better!!!" Lara answered "Let's go and keep away from trees" Lara laughed as she headed towards the door.
