Hospital Wing

[alt_padma]

Even though it was a really short match yesterday, it was cold enough to make me ill. I've been in the hospital wing all day and Madam Pomfrey says I ought to take another dose of Pepper-Up but that I dont need to stay the night.

I'm glad if I had to be ill it was this week and not last week, because there was only one other person in the hospital wing (Jane Bradley said she was trying a charm to turn her hair blonde and instead it made her bald!).

I'd never been up there before. Madam Pomfrey is very stern, isn't she?

Ooooh, it really was cold. But it was fun to watch. I'm surprised I didn't get a cold from being outside.

Is she stern? I never noticed.

[alt_padma]

Well, she was stern to Bradley.

[alt_megan]

Perhaps people aren't supposed to charm their hair. It's not like being ill. No one can help being ill, sometimes.

[alt_padma]

Well, but there are loads of charms for hair and so on. Theyre in Witch Weekly all the time.

She was a bit short with me because I waited a day to come up, but then I didn't realise I was ill until I'd slept straight through dinner and all.

Want to know what I think it was?

[alt_megan]

Oooh, are there?

I always go as soon as I think I may be ill. I suppose that's good.

What?

[alt_padma]

Of course there are. Don't you read Witch Weekly? You simply have to if you dont now. It's got loads of important tips!

That's very sensible of you, Jones. I didnt think I was getting ill, of course. Do you feel ill often?

Well, I think this wasnt the first time Bradley had been there for something Madam Pomfrey thinks is frev frivil silly.

[alt_megan]

No, I never have. I don't think anyone in my dorm gets it. I've never seen it. I saw your sister reading it once.

My guardian says I have a delicate constitution. That means I get ill easily. So I have to be extra careful about things.

Ooooh, I suppose I'd better be careful not to do anything silly ever.

I was looking for you after the match and I couldn't find you Anywhere! Then Parvati told me that she thought you were Ill. I don't know how she knew--maybe it was twin magic!

I'm so glad it isn't Serious! It would be dreadfully dull to be in the hospital wing for a long time.

[alt_padma]

Yes, sorry - I wasn't feeling well so I went back to the Ravenclaw dorms directly after the match.

I didnt even get dinner that night! And the next morning one of our Prefects made me see Madam Pomfrey.

[alt_lavender]

Ugh! Missing dinner is so Unpleasant! I hope Madame Pomfrey had the elves bring you something once you felt better.

I haven't been sick since I came to Hogwarts. Is she sterner than Madam Pince?

[alt_padma]

In a different sort of way. Madam Pince makes you feel as if your destroying the perfection of her library by taking out a book. Madam Pomfrey scolds, as if it shouldn't have been necesary to need her in the first place.
