Jemma Claflin, The Children's Hospital by Chris Adrian

1. What is your favorite cheese? Why is it your favorite?
I actually don't have cheese anymore. It was one of the only things I ate during pregnancy so it's sort of tainted for me.

2. Who would you kill first, Barney or Carrottop?
Barney. Absolutely Barney. I heard that damn dinosaur sing his endless, over joyous tunes for months. MONTHS on end. Kill Barney. Please kill Barney.

3. What time is it where you are?
Day. That's all I know now. It's day. Time sort of feels funny now.

4. If you were Albus Dumbledore returned from the dead, which member of the Order of the Phoenix would you sexually harass? How would you harass them? If you are Albus Dumbledore, please answer as if you were Sirius Black.
Oh my god I love Dumbledore. I wish I was a member of the Order of the Phoenix...

5. If you are pushing to be in:

A. Slytherin - please state the clever, witty name of the bar in which you bartend, in the dark. My friend Vivian worked at a bar called Tequila Mockingbird's. I've always thought that was clever.

B. Gryffindor – Debate whether Harry should ultimately end up married to Fred or George. Use examples from a variety of world mythologies to bolster your argument. Um. I'd say go with George, it was the name of one of The Beatles and to me that's always a safe bet. But Fred means 'constant peace' in German which I really, really love. And if you're getting married I'd say you'd want constant peace. I changed my mind. He should marry Fred.

C. Ravenclaw – You guys are supposed to be smart. Explain why my desk is inundated with paperwork at all times, even though I’m constantly disposing of it.
I'm a third-year med student existing in a hospital floating on miles of water with healing powers in the form of green fire. I'm allowed to have paperwork on my desk.
D. Hufflepuff – Prove you are not useless.
See the answer to Ravenclaw.

6. Offer a bribe to the members of this community so that they will not squib you. Items used in bribery do not necessarily have to belong to the person offering the bribe. Do not threaten us rather than offering a bribe. A threat indicates you either don't really want to be here, or don't have enough sense to answer the question properly. The hat will automatically squib you, regardless of other votes, if you do.

Remember that healing power I told you about? It's really cool complete with green flames and good feelings. If it still works I'll use it for you if you ever need it?

Jemma, curious, slightly cocked her head to one side.

"How so?" She helped make people feel better by flames, but she knew medicine too. Jemma wondered if this woman was a doctor.

[totallyluminous.livejournal.com]

Aware she sounds like a bit of a sci-fi queen with a dodgy outfit, and being careful not to reveal her wings or anything, Mel answers evasively. 'Oh, you know...I can sort of manipula--no, that's not the right word. Hmmm.' She chews on her lip. 'I send out emotional alarm clocks.' She grins; much better. 'I wake people up!'

[jemmafloats.livejournal.com]

"Ok," Jemma nodded with a bit of a constructed smile. She still didn't quite understand, but asking further would be rude. So, instead of saying much, there was a pause. An awkward pause.

"How's that work out for you?" She thought it was the right thing to say.

[totallyluminous.livejournal.com]

'Um.'

Well, she hasn't failed in any...

'It's better when people aren't trying to do the opposite,' she decides, and smiles. 'But I guess you'd know about those trying to wound others, working in a hospital.'

[jemmafloats.livejournal.com]

"This wasn't any hospital..." Jemma cautioned, searching for a accurate way to paint the picture of the floating hell it had become. "Everyone want something at every minute of the day. Things were never good enough. The patients were bad, but at time I think the doctors out-bitched them." Jemma exhaled and took a breath. "It was bad."

Mel's hands begin to glow softly golden, and she approaches Jemma, a little concerned.

'Tell me?' The angel's voice is gentle, and her brow is furrowed a little. She begins to send out ripples of golden vibes to comfort the woman, though she's unsure if it will work.

At first, Jemma was a little uncomfortable at the woman's touch, but being in a hospital allowed her to become easily at ease with human contact. And this was strange. The hands were warm; not a warmth from body heat but a comforting warm that reminded Jemma of snuggling and baking fresh cookies. This warm was wonderful.

Jemma looked up, smiling larger than ever before and was reminded of the Angel. The Recording Angel. "Wow."

[totallyluminous.livejournal.com]

Almost teasing, 'I told you that was my thing. How are you feeling?' She steps back, but the vibes flicker about her form, for one second giving her a halo of light. Mel doesn't look like an angel. She's an 18-year-old girl with scruffy black hair, green eyes and a weakness for pink and impractical shoes.

'Learnt anything about the Houses yet?' she asks casually.

[jemmafloats.livejournal.com]

Jemma shook off the stare and returned to looking down at her paper and around the room. This was Hogwarts now, there was no Recording Angel.

"I feel incredible. Incredible. Thank you. I've heard a bit about the houses. What's your opinion about them?"

[totallyluminous.livejournal.com]

Mel shoves her hands in her pocket, blushes blooming on her cheeks. 'Well, I'm in Gryffindor, so I'm biased. Ravenclaw has the best nightlife. Slytherin's in the dungeons, and Hufflepuff's generally got the amiable. Are you ambitious, intellectual, loyal or brave, most of all?'

[jemmafloats.livejournal.com]

Fascinated that Hogwarts was real, that it really existed, Jemma smiled and attempted to cover up her excitement. She felt like a child again, a happy child. This was nothing like her childhood.

"I think I'll be in Ravenclaw. Something just tells me..." Jemma had long debated with her friends at the hospital where she'd gone. It always boiled down to Gryffindor and Ravenclaw. "Gryffindor's an excellent choice though."

Vote: Ravenclaw

[totallyluminous.livejournal.com]

Mel nods, and flicks her hair again to get it out of her eyes. 'Ravenclaw for you, then. Hey--I hope I see you around, okay?'

Re: Vote: Ravenclaw

[jemmafloats.livejournal.com]

Without even having to think about it, Jemma reached out and put her hand affectionately around the girl's wrist. She gave it a tight squeeze.

"Yes. Please keep in touch." The words came out before Jemma even had time to think about them. This was strange for her, but instead of questioning it, Jemma smiled to the woman in hopes that her words would ring true.

Re: Vote: Ravenclaw

Mel's face whips around to Jemma, and for a moment it's blatantly obvious that Mel is thinking ways to win a fight. Nothing personal, but Brice, when he was a demon, always went for the wrist in a fight. But her faxe relaxes, and she reassures Jemma, 'Of course.'

No hopeful zing in the chest that means Jemma's her personal responsibility, but...hey, she has to help everyone.
