Keifer walked into the infirmary, mumbling to himself about how his back was creasing and how he didnt like ghosts... especially now... I mean? How can a ghost threaten someone? Its... dead for crying out loud. He found a bed and sat down, untying Bog from around his waist and lying him down. Stupid... Just ridiculous Keifer crossed his arms, beads of sweat was combining with the dirt and dust on his face. Dirt had gotten into the gashes on his body, but he wasnt paying attention to them. He sat down beside the bed, determined to stay there until he woke up.

Dia ran into the Hospital Wing panting heavily. Alicia had found her in the Staff Room and informed her of what had happened. The Hufflepuff had then taken her to the broken balcony and both were shocked to find no one there.
Dia had immediately sent Alicia to bed and examined the ledge. Having found blood she immediately ran to the Infirmary. Her silken rode was hanging off one shoulder and her hair was messily tied up, but she was still respectable looking.
She looked around the great big room, frantically looking for the two boys she had been told about. She saw one boy on a bed and another sitting next to the bed. Dia slowed her breathing and walked over to the two.
"Keifer?" she asked the boy, gently putting a hand on his shoulder. "Keifer are you alright?" She held up three fingers in front of his face, "how many fingers can you see me?"

Keifer had his head in his hands when the door opened, he lifted it up for a second to see who it was before slowly putting his head back. Trying to ignore the pain that was searing through his chest now, the cuts seemingly bleeding more which was annoying.
He felt a hand on his shoulder so he moved his head and looked at the professor. "Yeah... Im Keifer" He looked down at his body when she asked him if he was alright. Besides from the pain there, his head was throbbing, he was feeling sick and light headed, plus he had to contend with the ghost of Bog, all in all, his head wasnt in good shape at the minute. He raised a hand to his face, feeling the warm liquid there, he hadnt realised he's cut his face open. "Ive been better" He admitted.
When she asked him how many fingers she was holding up, he looked at her and concentrated. He couldnt see straight. "Uh... Three? Four? Three i think" He answered.

Dia frowned and knelt next to Keifers chair. She took each of his hands in turn and examining it. "Alicia told me there had been a bit a fracas between some students but she wouldn't tell me any names but yours."
She straightened her legs but kept her head low. She opened each of the boy's eyes and then checked his ears. "Well, that's all fine," she commented. Once again she knelt next to him and looked at Bog. "Now let's hear your side of the story!" she said to Keifer without looking at him.

"Dont i feel special" He moaned, his whole body aching and he had a serious headache now. He tried to focus on Bog, but his eyesight was fazy. He didnt move or react when she checked him over. "My side... Uh" He tried to think about what had happened "Well i couldnt... sleep so i went out for a walk... i ended up in a corridor and a slytherin... came up... Alicia also came... we went out onto the balcony... we heard a prefect which happened to be bog.. Henry... uh... The slytherin flew off and me and bog were stood on the edge when it began to crack. The balcony fell so... i clung onto a rock about 10 feet below the balcony, i managed to catch bog but he eventually fell from my grasp. I.... had to climb down and get him... Then a gh-" He remembered he shouldnt talk about that, he didnt believe the ghost but he shouldnt risk it should it? "...Well that part doesnt matter, i brought him here..." He looked down at himself "...And im fine... just a few gashes but nothing that wont heal"

Dia checked Bog the same as she had checked Keifer as he spoke. All that he said confirmed Alicia's story. All the while she mumbled, "hmm" and occasionally, "ah!"
At Keifer's hesitation to mention something she looked at him, her eyes shining, but she did not question him. Healing! she thought, not traditionally my forte! "Hmm," she mumbled, "where is Cashew?"
She turned back to Keifer and said, "so you are in better shape then Mr Boggleworth here then?" She stood back and held her chin thoughtfully. "This looks more then just scratches and breaks. are you sure nothing else happened? Possibly something you missed or might not have seen as you were climbing down to him?" She looked down at Keifer calculatingly, looking for same hesitation as before.

Keifer mind twinged, he would have told her, but he wasnt sure. He just smiled and looked at the gashes. Breaks? Well he couldnt really move his right wrist and fingers but apart from that. "... I... uh.. well..." he mumbled, he decided it was best to lie, in an unconvincing tone he said "I... hallucinated.. thats all"

Dia frowned at Bog's legs. "Definitely broken," she commented. Her attention snapped directly to Keifer when he mentioned 'hallucinations'.
"Hallucinations?" she repeated, "what do you mean? Seeing things are we?" She stood up straight and removed her wand from within her gown. "Bracchium Emendo," she said, pointing her wand to the unconscious boy's legs. They became straight and all ailments in his legs to heal. "There!" she mumbled, quite impressed that she did not make his knee caps sprout daisies.

Keifer watched her heal Bog. "Uh... In a word... yeah" He said. Truthfully, it wasnt a hallucination and it was real, even though Keifer himself had trouble believing it. "Yeah... hallucinations" Keifer closed his eyes, his temples throbbing. Right now he would give anything to be unconcious but... Alas... he wasnt so he'd deal. "Is something wrong with it?"

Dia looked sharply at the boy on the chair next to her. "Anything wrong?" she asked sarcastically, "of course not! It's just as fantastic as hearing voices!" Dia caught herself. It was late and she had not had any sleep the previous night because of her lesson.
She took Keifer's hand and lead him to the bed next to Bog's. "As much as I am sure Bog would appreciate waking up to see a friend by him, I'm sure he would want you to get your rest even more. Now you just lay here and I'll see what I can do about your cuts and bruises. You must feel awful!" She picked up his legs when he had sat on the bed and swung them onto the bed.
Dia walked to the potions cupboard and opened it, then stood looking at each vile thoughtfully. It had been so long since she had had to make any potion but it always came naturally to her. She made enough Star Grass Salve for the two boys and to fill an extra container. She applied it to as many open wounds as she could find and sat down wondering what to do next.
