(Corridors) Just My Luck!

[Professor Ashton Laurent]

Ash dashed madly down the stairs, he had overslept again and was late for breakfast! Just as he reached the third stetp from the bottom, he slipped and tried to catch himself, unfortunately his hand slipped from the rail, and he ended up tumbling down the last few stairs. Ash landed on his right wrist and heard a loud crack. Ash groaned and looked at his wrist, sure enough it was twisted back at an odd angle. "Just my luck!" he groaned, not noticing that someone had walked up.

[Archibald Nish]

Archi had been awake for a good long while and had finished having breakfast. Now going back to him office, Archi heard the sound of hurried foot falls. People in the castle seemed to be more rushed then they were when Archibald attended this school. When Archi attended Hogwarts life moved at a slower pace but as soon as he had thought this he realised how old he sounded. It wasn't all that long ago that he was a little shorter, a few years younger, and attending this prestigious school.

A loud thud echoed down from the corridor ahead of him and the sound brought Archibald out of his thoughts. Springing into action, Archi began to run towards where he had heard the thud as fast as his short legs would carry him. Soon he came upon a Ravenclaw boy on the floor, his wrist, Archi noticed, at the most peculiar angle. Coming up next to him, Archi looked him over to see if there were others injuries. There didn't appear to be any others so that was at least one saving grace.

"Anything but your wrist broken?" Archi asked in his gruff, growling voice as soon as he was close to the boy. He crouched down next to the boy (not really lowering in stature much) and took hold of his arm, examining the wrist. "It shouldn't be too difficult to mend but I need to know if anything else is broken." Archibald looked up into the face of the Claw with the broken wrist.

Eva had just been walking to the commonroom when she heard the thud echo the hallways. She let out a little gasp and turned quickly. Eva walked --because she didn't like to run in the halls-- as fast as she could to where she heard the noise.

There seemed to be a boy clutching his wrist, and the Healer, Mr. Nish, crouching over him. Eva walked over and kneeled beside the boy. "Do you need any help Mr. Nish?" Her voice was soft, as usual. But, it seemed to be loud enough so both of the people near her could hear.

Tiri had always been fascinated by the way people could heal injuries. She herself wanted to look into becoming a healer, perhaps she could talk to Mr. Nish about it later. "Do we have to bring him to the Hospital Wing sir?"

[Professor Ashton Laurent]

Ashton looked up at the sound of a gruff voice, it was Mr. Nish, the new Healer, he blinked a few times before the man's words registered in his foggy mind. "Uh, no sir, I don't think so." he replied, he noticed a Hufflepuff girl arrive, and gave her a small smile.

[Archibald Nish]

Archi was looking over the wrist when a Hufflepuff joined them, offering to help. She knew his name but he was not surprised. Many seemed to know who he was and he knew that things had not changed much since his days at Hogwarts. News of new teachers always traveled fast amongst the students and, not being a teacher news of him would have traveled too.

Looking at the Hufflepuff, he eyed her suspiciously. Did she think him incapable of taking care of a patient? Or was she genuinely concerned for the Ravenclaw? Archi gently put the boy's wrist on his leg and stood up. "He doesn't need much but help is always appriciated," Mr Nish said already calculating what needed to be done. "And all my paraphernalia is in the Hospital Wing so we do need to move him there."

Archibald looked down to the Ravenclaw and gave him a little smile. "I'll need to reset the bone and give you something for the pain," he explained, "this nice young Miss will help you get there as I cannot. Miss, will that be a good duty for you to occupy yourself with now?" Archibald turned to her and looked at both of the two students.

[mystri]

Eva grinned down at the boy, but only gave him a small smile. She glanced over to Mr. Nish as he spoke. "I'm always willing to help sir." Tiri looked back at the Ravenclaw boy. "My name is Eva by the way. Eva Mystri."

She stood up and held out her hand to the boy. "Do you need help getting up? Don't want to hurt your wrist anymore now." She eyed his wrist and hoped it didn't hurt him too much. She herself was somehow resilient to pain, but that wasn't true for everyone.

Tiri glanced back to Mr. Nish. "Mr. Nish sir, would it be alright if I stayed and watched? I want to make sure Mr. McLane is alright." It wasn't surprising she knew who he was, they were in the same year after all. And what she said was only half of the truth. Eva wanted to watch a healer work on a patient, but was always too shy to admit what exactly she wanted.

[Professor Ashton Laurent]

Ash grinned at the Hufflepuff when she asked if he needed help getting up. "No thanks, I got it." he replied as he stood up, balancing himself with his good arm. He looked at her in confusion as she asked Mr. Nish if she could come because she wanted to make sure 'Mr. McLane was alright.' "How do you know my name? I've never met you before have I?" he asked.

[mystri]

Eva glanced back over to Ashton and smiled. "We're in the same year. I've heard about you more than once and you're probably in some of my classes." She shrugged slightly. "It's alright if you don't know me though, I just tend to pay attention."

Tiri looked back at Ashton's hand, then over to Mr. Nish. After a bit, she looked back at Ash. "Doesn't hurt a lot does it?" Worry laced her voice and she internally kicked herself. Ash probably thought her to be a stalker or something, but she was generally concerned for her fellow student. It was a curse of sorts, caring about people too much.

[Professor Ashton Laurent]

Ash smiled, "Nah, I'm used to pain. Thanks to daddy dearest"- this was said sarcastically- " I've had a broken arm, broken ankle-twice, three, no, four broken ribs, and multiple burns, bruises and other marks. And my skull has been cracked a total of three times." he replied grimly. "So, I'm no stranger to pain."

[Archibald Nish]

Archibald nodded to the girl's enthusiasm. Eva was clearly eager to help but Mr McLane clearly didn't want it. The way he spoke about of his father left Archi looking at him, eyebrow raised and wondering how a parent could inflict that on a child, let alone their own offspring. Eyebrow raised high, Archibald turned from Mr McLance and looked to the Hufflepuff.

"Miss Mystri," he said, his husky voice echoing through the corridor, "if it is satisfactory to Mr McLane that you are present, I have no qualms with you being present during his consultation." Nish put his hands in his pockets and looked to Mr McLane. He seemed to feel confident enough to walk so Archi looked at him with an unhappy, small smile. He felt compassion towards the boy with the broke wrist.

"Shall we?" he posed, waving a hand down the corridor indicating his desire to go to the Hospital Wing. As Archi put one small foot in front of the other, he turned to the Hufflepuff. "And be sure to make sure Mr McLane doesn't fall down any more stairs. Ribs are more arduous to mend then a simple wrist-break." With that Mr Nish set himself to walking his quick paced waddle towards the Infirmary, already calculating his method of treatment.

ooc: I am alright with continuing in this thread or else we can move it to the Hospital Wing board. Up to you two to chose.

[Professor Ashton Laurent]

Ash looked at Eva, then back at Mr. Nish, "I don't have any problems with her being there." he said as he followed Mr. Nish down the corridor, holding his broken wrist against his chest.

[mystri]

Eva grinned at Ashton. "Thank you." She turned back to Mr. Nish as he spoke to her and nodded. "Of course." Tiri walked beside Ashton then, glancing at him every few moments to make sure he didn't stumble or something. She felt so happy to be part of this, and getting to watch a healer next too! Oh what a day this was turning out to be.

( Someone just make a thread in the Hospital Wing then? Not it! )

[Professor Ashton Laurent]

((not i! bunnyboo? looks like it's up to you darling!))

[Archibald Nish]
