Jasmine had called it right. Things had gotten out of control as the Healer and Professors went at it. It was like a tennis match with accusations and insults going back and forth like a tennis ball. Catching Cassia's eyebrow raise, Jasmine looked back at her and shrugged. Should they really be a party to this......heated conversation? It seemed to Jasmine that the adults were spending more time arguing than tending to the seriously wounded, but what did she know.

Then the Headmistress tried to be the voice of reason and calm things down, but now she was addressing the girls. "No, I didn't see anything either", Jasmine said. "Like Cassia said, we were all knocked down. By the time we got up, it was chaos and we were more focused on trying to get out of there than anything else."

The Healer approached the girls and asked how they were. Jasmine responded "I'm fine". "I feel much warmer now. I just have a cut on my arm." Jasmine had kept her blanket on for most of the time that they were in the forest so she hadn't been as bad off as some of the others. "I'm just worried about Bay and Mr. Kitridge. Are they going to be OK?"

How was she feeling? Hmm... The blanket and the heating charm certainly made her better. "I feel warmer," she nodded. "There are just some cuts on my hands," She had forgotten about those in the heat of the moment especially when they were bringing the librarian and Victor here. But now they started to sting. Apparently Jasmine was feeling fine, too. Cassia was glad to hear that.

"Yes, ma'am," she answered the healer's answer. It was indeed strange that they couldn't get a glimpse of the creature or whatever it was. It must have been moving so fast for them to have missed it.

Merlin, could the Headmistress be any more Hufflepuff? An accident? Getting attacked was no accident to whatever horned things charged at them. Perhaps the unicorns had gone rogue with the weather, hm? And just ACCIDENTALLY ATTACKED THEM IN COLD BLOOD.

Piers rubbed his temples as the blonde woman bickered back at them again. She was taking care of Leo, finally, so he held up his hands in surrender and backed up. "I'm going to bed," he said with a grump. He was done. He was freezing, but he didn't want whatever Cece had because he was fairly certain she might poison him at this point. He'd defrost his own damn frostbite.

"Goodnight," he grumped again, brushing past the headmistress and her cat. He gave a look towards Javy -- even though he was fairly certain the man would follow him anyway -- and then excused himself from the hospital wing to go have a drink and stick his hands in his fireplace.

Sure, Javy could note all that had been going on inside his head while the rowing ensued. Especially with Piersie and Cece, who bless her heart was not retaliating by slicing off where he had frostbite. But nah, for once he was speechless with Nessa who he just noticed was there all along as well. Oh, and Annie was somewhat defusing the fire between them and speaking with the young ladies. Instead his thoughts went with the possible scenario that they were little by little painting in on what happened.

Hmm.. "So all you saw was the Acromantulas.. were they about to attack when the monsters finished them?" The image was gruesome enough even though it was still unclear to him on the events that happened. "Well, that still leaves the identity of whoever wandered in spending the sparks first unknown." How else could they figure it out without getting the entire school's attention to the situation? It could've been anyone out there.

His thoughts concluded early when he heard the Charms Professor declare he was done arguing. Now Javy turned his head back at him. Was he seriously that crazy to leave without treatme- nevermind, this was Piers, after all. Cue the inward sigh as he was given that pitiful look. Plus how solemn things were remaining here. "Since it's clear that my presence here won't help figure anything else out since I wasn't at the scene. " So that left him to well, leave now.. but first. "I believe three points each to Miss Somerlad and Miss Guidry will do for their assistance." Yes? Well, it'll have to do.. "Have a good night." Because now he was departing.

Tillstorm really wasn't about to give it up on the mean mothering, was she? Anastasia let out a small huff at the woman. "FINE," she remarked finally, "FINE. I can see you are doing your job. Well done, Healer Tillstorm. Thank you ever so much for notifying me about this incident. Let's see to it, ALL OF US, that it doesn't happen again."

She gave a cold nod to the Healer and again focused on the two girls. "Ladies, I'm sorry you were out there." Pauseeeeee. Three points, Javy? Really? He was only going to give them three points? "Ten points apiece I should think for your courage. Ten to Victor too, as soon as he wakes."

And as for the acromantula... if one listened closely enough, they might have heard the Headmistress muttering some choice words under her breath. She shook her head as the Charms professor and then the Creatures one walked off. "Well... I'm going to set up an investigation into all this." She'd call the damn Aurors back to the school if she had to. "Girls, try to get some rest. Cece, let me know as soon as Leobald and Mr. Bay wake up." She'd need to speak to them, obviously, about what had attacked them.

Until then... "I'll leave you to your work." She gave a mock curtsy to the healer and then showed herself out, clinging to Gingersnapple tighter than ever on her way back to her office.

Okay, so according to both girls, no one seen what it was that attacked them, yet it was able to kill an acromantula. It seems the students and professors that had been out in the forest were lucky to make it out alive. Well mostly alive considering two of them were laying there unconscious.

Cece looked back over at the headmistress and the professors that were just standing around. "I really think it's time for all of you to leave and start figuring out just what it is that's out there." She really did not need all of them standing around doing nothing that's for sure.

Turning her attention back to the girls she started cleaning up the wounds on Cassia's hands as she spoke to both of the girls. "Don't worry girls. I'll make sure they're both well taken care of." She looked back over at the two laying there motionless. She didn't care what it took, she would make sure they woke up.

Finally, everyone started to clear out. Goodbye and good riddance. She didn't need them hanging around if they wren't going to be of any use to her.

And really Thompson. Three lousy points. At least the headmistress seen to it that they would get more than some little slap in the face for their stupidity bravery. "Of course. You'll be the first one I notify when they are awake. Although for now I think you need to let the boy's parents know what is going on," she replied to the headmistress as she was leaving the room.

Once evreyone was gone, she turned back to the girls. "If you're feeling up to it, you can go back to your common rooms and rest. I'll come check on the both of you later." She would say she would have Jasmine's head of house check on her too, but that was a little difficult to do since the man was laying there unconscious.

Her eyes darted to both the librarian and Victor foolishly hoping that one or both of them would just wake up and be totally alright but that of course did not happen. The state of them looking like that was really sad and she couldn't bear to keep looking at them so she glanced back to the others where Professor Fuller just headed out and was followed by Professor Thompson.

Next the cuts on her hands were being taken care of by the healer. She heard the headmistress and her head of house talk but she wasn't paying attention really, she was tired and wanted to sleep this day seemed like a very long one.

Then Tillstorm addressed them and Cassia liked the suggestion a lot. She preferred going back to her usual dorm and sleep there instead spending it here where two unconscious people were. "Yes, I feel fine enough to head back there," she nodded at her head of house and slid off the bed slowly. Did Jasmine want to as well?

Keeping the blanket around her, the seventeen years old headed for the exit thanking the healer on her way out and wishing her a good night. At least she got thirteen points out of this and a story to tell.

Jasmine watched as the Professors and Headmistress left the Observation Room. She was still worried about Bay and Mr. Kittridge, but the Healer promised that she would take good care of them. Jasmine would just have to hope for the best.

As Healer Tillstorm tended to Cassia's wounds, Jasmine waited her turn. After the cut on her arm had been taken care of, she just wanted to leave. Jasmine was relieved when they were given the option to return to their Common Rooms. Better yet, she wanted to go to her dorm, get in bed, pull the covers over her head and pretend like today never happened.

Anxious to leave, Jasmine stood up. "Thank you Healer Tillstorm. I think I'll go back to my dorm now." She headed toward the door, but first she walked over to the bed where Bay was lying. Bending down, she whispered into his ear, "Hang in there Bay". Then she followed Cassia out of the room.

Once the girls were gone Healer Tillstorm checked on the sleeping ones hoping to find some sign of them waking up. As she was pulling a blanket over Victor she heard yelling going on out in the waiting area.

This did not please the healer one little bit. This was a hospital not the quidditch pitch. Do these students not know how to read the signs that said to be quiet?

Apparently not.

Once she was satisfied there was no more she could do for Leo or Victor, she went out to the waiting area to see who was making all that noise.

His eyes opened, for some amazing reason. He didn't care why he was just happy that he could move something now.. feeling his toes and fingers do a little movement is when everything snapped.. he was just being attacked…

HE WAS DEAD RIGHT… OMG…

he was really cold and very achy so that must explain things right.. no he had so much to live for.. he was doing good in school, he had great friends and a amazing girlfriend..

OH NO LUX!!!!!

she's going to be so sad.

Bay slowly did small movements just in case he wasn't dead and those huge spiders and that other creature that came were still around.. wait.. why couldn't he hear the others.. this was only confirming his worst fears… he moved the blanket that was on him and felt that there was something on his collar bone and on his leg, man was it ever cold.. he started to shiver.. but he was still on a mission to find out his situation.. he moved his head and saw that there was a big person, looked like a Professor was near him… wait he was in a bed.. and so was Bay… taking a bigger chance he looked around and saw that he was in the hospital wing.. so maybe he wasn't dead..

"hello?? sir….are you okay" he croaked as his throat was really dry.. but he remembered at the book club meeting they had sandwiches and hot chocolate.. why would his mouth be dry?? "sir??" now he was getting worried.. what happened and why isn't the man responding.. Maybe he should yell out for someone to come help him.. he really needed to use the loo as well… yeah yelling out would be his best bet.

"HELLO???" he shouted as his body totally ached to move.. ohhh he needed food as well.. he was feeling rather hungry, he hoped who ever answered his hello would bring food and water.

It had been two weeks and Professor Kitridge and Victor were still in their sleeping slumber. Healer Tillstorm was practically living in the infirmary now just so she would be there when they woke up.

She finished checking over Professor Kitridge only to find no signs of change. He was still unconscious but at least he was breathing on his own. That was a good sign. After disposing of her gloves she went to wash her hands only to be distracted by someone calling out. Rushing back into the room she found that Victor was awake.

"Victor, how are you feeling? Do you hurt anywhere?" She had been giving him something to keep the pain level down while he was unconscious, but now that he was awake hopefully he would be able to tell her exactly what hurt. Seeing that he was shivering, she pulled the blanket back over him and placed a warming charm on it.

Trying to lay back down because he knew that he was safe, he had forgotten that he had called out to someone to anyone really as he heard his first name… "Victor" only his parents called him that… and some Professors… he moved his head to see that it was the Healer lady, this was his first time seeing her but it must be her. Thinking about her question as a warmer blanket fell on him he sighed as he snuggled into it.. "ahhhhhhhh" he thought as he popped his head out of it.

"my shoulder hurts and my leg.. but its not too painful.. like i'd rather the pain go away… but…" he said while thinking he didn't even want to see what he looked like right now.. "would you happen to have anything to eat or drink?" now that he was warm he would love to eat and drink something right about now. and oh yes the loo.. looking at the lady.. "errrr would it be possible to use the loo??" he said while this thoughts were all jumbled.. he thought about the book club he just came from.

"do you think i'll be able to go back to the book club after I'm healed?.. I would hate to miss the rest of that." he tried to get up off the bed as wobbled a little bit.. ahhh he needed help.

Hating to move the blanket off the boy, Cece moved it just enough to look at his shoulder again. The bandage was still in place and there were no signs of new bleeding. She then did the same for his leg. "The wounds on your shoulder and leg are healing at a very slow pace. Hopefully the pain will lessen as the wounds continue to heal." For now she would give him something more for the pain.

Grabbing a glass of water with a straw in it she placed the straw in him mouth so he could take a drink. "I don't have any food here right now but I can have the elves bring up whatever you would like." She was sure he had to be plenty hungry by now.

Grabbing hold of him when he stumbled she helped him to his feet. "Hold onto me and I'll help you to the loo." And while he was in there she would get some food for him.

Get back to the book club? "I'm sorry Victor, but that book club meeting ended. Two weeks ago." And even if it hadn't ended yet, the boy would not be getting out of there for awhile yet. She needed to make sure he was completely healed first.

Feeling her move the blanket a little bit to check his shoulder he turned his head away in the other direction to help give her a better look. The movement left him with some more pain, note to self do not move like that again. now she was looking at his leg, ughhhh "i so don't want to look" he thought as she was telling him that they are healing slowly.. "is everyone else okay?" he asked as she put water in front of him and with a straw… awesome, he took the straw in-between his teeth as he took some big gulps… yeah that was a lot better..

"that would be amazing if i could get food, I don't think I've ever been this hungry" he told her as she told him to hold on to her because of his shakyness. "thank you" he said. Moving towards where the loos were he thought of what kind of food he would like.. "maybe like a ham sandwich and potato salad?" he said as his stomach grumbled.

While they were walking she said the meeting ended…

WHAT!!! TWO WEEKS AGO

"i've…. been…asleep…for…two..weeks" he said as he started to hyperventilate. he stopped in his tracks and bent over to catch his breath.. "what…. happened…. to... me?" he said as the shock finally hit him and he started to cry and shake..

Cece continued to hold onto him so he didn't fall as they walked across the room. "The girls and Professor Fuller are fine." Mr. Kitridge on the other hand. Well she wasn't going to say anything about him just yet.

Once she knew what he wanted to eat she sent a patronus down to the kitchen asking the elves to bring the food up for the boy. Hopefully it wouldn't take too long for them to get it up there. "Your food should be here shortly."

And maybe she shouldn't have mentioned how long he had been there just yet. "Yes, you've been sleeping for two weeks now." When he bent over like that she summoned a chair over to them. "Sit down." She needed to help him get his breathing under control before she told him what happened. And now he was crying and shaking too.

Kneeling down next to him she started to rub his back. "Everything is going to be okay Victor. I need you to breathe slowly. Take a deep breath then slowly blow it out."

phew, everyone was fine that was good. Bay even completely forgot about that man or person that was in the bed next to him. Hearing her say that her food would be here shortly made him smile a little bit. awesome he was very glad that he was going to be getting food. But as soon as she confirmed that he was out for two weeks and he kind of went into shock there was a chair under him before he could even ask for one.

"thank…you" he said as he tried to listen to her and breathe slowly.. "but..what..about…classes…and…homework…" he knew he was going to kick himself later for saying this because he really liked the classes and the homework, and who knows how many he's missed. ughhh.. "my..family?" he asked oh no, his mother for sure would want to yank him right out of hogwarts now. Did his mother and father come and visit him while he's been asleep.. and his friends and Lux, he felt really bad and he doesn't even know who's been to visit him.

"has… any…one…come?" he asked as he still tried to focus on his breathing. and d'awwwwww she was rubbing his back "thank you" thats all he felt like he was saying to her but she is saving his life so theres no limit on how many times he was going to tell her that. he leaned into her shoulder because she was right there and he sobbed a little bit more, while his breathing was returning to normal.

After everything he had been through the boy was worried about classes and homework? If only all students were like that. "I can talk to your professors to see about getting you an extension on some of your homework. I'm sure they will understand why you didn't get it in on time." And if they didn't, well she would deal with that later.

"Your parents have been notified of what happened. Unfortunaltely they have't been able to come visit because we are now snowed in. No one in or out of the castle at this time." She could only imagine how worried they must be about their son right now, but there was nothing she could do about it at this time. As for other visitors. "There have been a few that stopped by to see you. Your friends Kace and Cinnamon stopped by a couple times. I only let them stay with you for a few minutes then had them leave."

And now he was sobbing into her shoulder. She continued to rub his back as she brought her other arm around the front of him and gave him a hug. What, even big kids like him need to be comforted at a time like this. "Everything is going to be okay. I promise. Now that you're awake I'm sure you'll be out of here in no time." Or she liked to think he would be out of there soon.

"You know, there has been one person that's been coming by daily to check on you." That is once the girl changed her attitude and Cece finally let her back to see him. "I'm pretty sure she's out in the waiting room now." Cece would be shocked if the girl wasn't out there. "Once you get back in bed and calmed down I can have her come back her if you want."

Hearing that Healer Tillstorm will talk to his Professors about the homework that he's missed if any. She was being really nice to him, he gave her a weak smile as he said "thank you" another time. His parents… gulp… he wondered what his mother and father were going through right now. "snowed in??" maybe thats the reason why he's so cold. He lowered his head totally thinking about his parents again, he felt so bad. Bye bye hogwarts, he highly doubted that his parents would ever allow him to return after the ageing thing last year and now almost dying this year. He just knew it deep down in his gut that thats what was going to happen.

yes, Kace and Cinnamon.. his besties came to visit him, he was so happy to hear his names, awww and a couple of times. He will have to give them very big hugs when he saw them. She was still rubbing his back, his crying was starting to stop. She had promised that he would be okay. that made him feel better. Now got up off the chair and moved towards the loo. after he was done he washed his hands and dried them. coming back out he wobbled a little bit but used the wall to support him. his legs were like little baby dear legs, but it wasn't a surprise to him any more because you know he's been out for two weeks.

Almost to his bed he heard Healer Tillstorm say that a person has been coming daily to check on him and he instantly answered "Lux" he said as he was trying not to cry again, come on Bay be a big boy and stop crying everywhere. geezz…. "still in the waiting room" he thought as he felt excited to see her. Now the rules for her to come in a see him were to get back into bed and calm down he smiled and eased himself into the bed. There step one done.

His stomach grumbled and he wondered how much longer for the sandwich and potato salad. "Miss" he said because it was weird to call her "Healer" and he didn't know her first name but he continued any ways. "do you think I may have some more of that water, while i wait for the food?" he said he pulled the warm blankets over him to keep him warm, "snowed in….. wow" he randomly thought.

While Victor was in the loo, Cece sent her patronus to the headmistress letting her know the boy was awake. Once the boy was back in bed Cece gave him a fresh glass of water. "Your food will be here momentarily." And as if on cue there was a popping noise and then one of the house elves standing there with a tray of food.

Pulling a table over to the bed, Cece took the tray of food and set it on the table. "Thank you for getting this up here so quickly," she told the elf just before he popped back down to the kitchen. She then took the cover off the plate to reveal the sandwich and potato salad Victor had requested. There was also some fresh fruit on the plate. "I had fruit added to your order along with some tea and pumpkin juice." Cece was big on fresh fruit so yes, she expected him to eat it. She also figured he might like a little more than water to drink. "You go ahead and eat and I'll go get your visitor."

Lux gasped as she entered the room.

Of COURSE she gasped; Bay was awake for the first time in two weeks.

The initial shock lasted for a few seconds, then she felt the strong urge to run over and hug and kiss him. She resisted because not only would that probably hurt him in his weak state, but it was also guaranteed to get her kicked out. Healer Tillstorm had clearly had meant for this to be a surprise, and what a surprise it was!

Going over to his bed, Lux gently took his hand and held it. It wasn't much contact, but she didn't want to risk hurting him and hopefully Healer Tillstorm wouldn't mind it. "How are you feeling, Bay? Are you hurting?" She wasn't stupid enough to think that Healer Tillstorm would let him stay in pain when there were potions for that, but she didn't want him to be hurting.

She was so happy that she could cry. He was awake, and that had to mean he was getting better.

Getting comfortable in the bed with the very warm blankets he saw the Healer come back with more water, "I was just thinking about more water" saying with a smile. She was really thinking of everything and as soon as he started to sip on the water the food was here while she was talking about the food. Looking at the house elf he smiled, he's only seen them in the kitchens so it was kind of surreal to see them out of there. Bay was about to say thank you to the little creature but as soon as the Healer said thanks it went *poof( and disappeared, probably back down to the kitchens.

Now his eyes were completely on the tray… his stomach rumbling even more, knowing what he should be expecting his eyes lid up when she lifted the lid.. FOOD, man was he ever excited to see and smell it… now all it needed to do was to get into his belly. Picking up the tray and placing it on his lap, he listened to her as she said she added a few things. "it looks amazing" he replied as he picked up a strawberry and ate it quickly, as soon as it was gone from his mouth he picked up the ham sandwich and this is when his inner beast came out and he started to eat messy and faster.

Bay wasn't even paying attention to what she was saying he just saw her leave.. ooommm nommmm nommm, oh yeah this was so good. Making sure he had a good grip on the sandwich he finished the whole thing in no time, might as well finish of the fruit as well but first he took a big gulp of the pumpkin juice because it was so delicious and he was still thirsty. Wiping his mouth off with his sleeve when no one was around he heard the Healer come back and another pair of feet because it sure sounded like more than one person.



It was Lux, the second person coming was Lux. Man this was only making his very weird day so much better now that she was here. Seeing her walk very quickly over to him she took his hand, which he really wanted as well but maybe for the other hand because the hand she was holding was his injured side. Wincing he answered her "I'm doing better, but ummm" a little more pain was coursing through his arm.. "would you mind coming on the other side of me, this side just hurts" letting go of her hand he flexed his fingers as he hoped that she wouldn't mind his request.

Looking down at his tray he still had potato salad left and he was still totally going to finish it. Carefully he moved the tray to the table where his fluids were, so he could give Lux more attention. "Healer Tillstorm told me that you came everyday.. and our friends came to visit as well" he smiled at her because just her not holding that hand any more was making him feel so much better. "how've you been, tell me everything. I've heard that were snowed in…" he totally didn't know what else to say to her, if she wanted to know what happened out in the forbidden forest, he wasn't sure if he could answer her. A. he doesn't really remember he just remembers all the pain and B. he wasn't sure if he was allowed to talk about what happened.

Searching her face she looked like she could cry. He wished he could hug her but that would just cause him more pain and he didn't want the Healer to tell her to leave so quickly because well she just had got here. "I'm getting better…." he whispered to her to reassure her. Hey if he didn't die last term being old as his grandpa then this wasn't going to kill him….. RIGHT……….

ON NO. She was causing him pain.

Feeling terrible, Lux went around to the other side of the bed and held that hand instead. "This is okay?" Slightly unsure, she didn't want to accidentally hurt him again; once had been bad enough.

He was eating. That much made her happy. She could see because he had made a mess of the food. Poor Bay hadn't eaten anything in two weeks, so she was pleased that he had something before she arrived. Noticing the tray with potato salad on it as he moved it to the side, she hoped that he wasn't still hungry and holding off eating for her. It would be very sweet, but he really needed his strength. "Are you sure you don't want that now?" Indicating the tray as she spoke. "I came every day, and I'll keep coming every day until you are released. I'll keep you company and let you know what is happening." Hopefully he would be released soon, but obviously he would be here for at least a little longer.

How had she been? Honestly she had been worried sick and missing him a lot. But she wasn't going to tell him all that. It wasn't what he needed to hear when he was sore and feeling weird after missing out on two weeks. "Ummm, I've been..." Trailing off, she had no idea what to say because she couldn't lie to him. Maybe time to focus on the other bits of what he said. "Oh, I was outside with Zander when the weather suddenly got colder than ever. It scared me, because a blizzard was coming towards us. We ran inside the front doors and it was so cold. But not as cold as it had been outside." Shuddering at the memory, she really hated being snowed in. Just not as much as she hated Bay being hurt. At least he was getting better.

His whispered reassurance of that fact helped her to feel even better. "I want to hurt whatever attacked you." As far as she knew, it was probably a Chort. How did one defeat a Chort? She'd have to look into that.

Cece lead the way back to the room Victor was in. Not that Lux needed help finding the room since she had been coming daily for almost two weeks now. And just as she had suspected, the girl was not expecting to find him sitting up in bed.

It didn't make her very happy that Lux immediately grabbed his hand on his injured side. She should have known better. All the times she had been back to see him, there was no way the girl didn't know what side he had been injured on. There was a bandage right there. At least Victor had enough common sense to ask her to move to the other side.

She let the two of them chat for a couple of minutes before interrupting them when Lux started talking about hurting others or whatever it was that attacked everyone in the forest. "I don't want to hear talk like that in here Miss Carrington. You will not be hurting anyone or anything." She then looked over at Victor. "Unless you need anything else from me right now, I'll leave you two to visit for just a little bit." Just because the boy was awake didn't mean Lux was going to get to stay the night. She could have one hour tops. Less if the healer felt Victor was getting over exhausted.

Seeing her move around and hold his good hand he smiled at her "yeah, thats totally better" he gave her hand a little squeeze. Bay could laugh but he thought it was best to hold it in he didn't want to move his shoulders so he held his mouth tight to keep him from laughing. Lux knew him so well, looking down at the left over food he was going to eat after she left he smirked. "your totally right. I should eat it right?" he reached for the tray but was a bit shaky so he put it down quickly. Wanting to be strong because he didn't want to show how badly he was in pain he tried again with the heavy tray, (note to self ask Hogwarts to get lighter trays) but again he had to put it down.

looking over to Lux he blushed as he asked "would you mind?" he pointed to the tray. He was sure that she wouldn't but it would be rude of him not to ask. Smiling even more when she told him that she had come everyday. "I knew you would have come everyday.. well" he trailed off "I've been out for a while so I guess I didn't know then.. but like when I woke and Healer Tillstorm told me, i just knew it was everyday" another squeeze of the hand because you know he couldn't really do anything else, all he really wanted to do was to hug her but.. you know.

Listening to her story he watched her with wide eyes.. "that sounds so scary!" he said but he was really glad that Zander was there with her, for like protection purposes. He'll have to talk to Zander later to make sure that Lux wasn't leaving any more scary parts out. But enough of that back to visiting and talking and hopefully eating soon. "your braver than me" telling her, it was cute for him to hear that she wanted to attack what ever hurt him but that wasn't going to happen anytime soon.



Almost forgetting that the amazing Healer was there he heard her talk as he moved her head.. "wait no more talk like what?" that totally confused him but he thought it was best for him not to say anything, but it was good that she was going to give them time alone. "thank you again… for everything" He will have to tell his Parents when ever he got a chance to see them that she was very caring and wonderful to him, maybe she will get a bonus at the end of the year, he he he.

Lux felt so bad for hurting Bay; she hated causing him pain. "I'm so sorry." Visiting him every day, she was aware which arm was injured, and she had still grabbed a hold of his bad hand. Seeing him awake had made her so excited that she forgot, and that was no excuse. At least he was willing to eat some more, which was very important when he needed his strength.

Watching him struggle with his tray made her frown. "Please don't over-exert yourself." She could tell that he was in pain, and she was already passing it over to him by the time that he had asked for her to. Taking a hold of his hand again she smiled and motioned for him to eat. He could have his potato salad as they talked and if he wanted anything else she would get it for him. "Do you want any Chocolate Frogs for after?" Surely Healer Tillstorm wouldn't mind him eating one or two; she could help him with the packaging and everything.

It made her happy when he said that he knew that she had visited him every day. "Of course I came every day. I'm not surprised you knew I would, and I know you would do the same for me." Well, it was every day once Healer Tillstorm allowed her to come and see him. She gently played with his hand as he squeezed hers.

Seeing his eyes widen at her story made Lux wonder if she had told him something she shouldn't have. Oh yes. It HAD been rather scary, he was right about that. "It was pretty bad, but we ran on impulse so I didn't really think much about it at the time." It had clearly been a lot scarier for him in the Forbidden Forest, but she wasn't going to mention that because he really did not need to think about it. Catching his whisper, it was time for her eyes to widen. "You are a lot braver than me, Bay. You are so brave, I really admire it." He had headed off with Mr. Kitridge into the scary forest where creatures like Acromantulas lived. Now he was dealing with that happened to him so well when it had to be very scary. She was so proud and wanted to give him a big hug even though she couldn't at the moment without hurting him more.

Hearing Healer Tillstorm, Lux nodded. She still wanted to attack the Chort, but she would very willingly follow the woman's rules. Tillstorm was kind enough to let her visit every day. Most importantly, she was looking after him and would heal him. "Thank you, Healer Tillstorm." It was very nice of her to allow this visit to go longer than usual. But if Bay got tired, she would leave so that he could sleep.
