Open RP in the Hospital wing.

[nannynutter.livejournal.com]

Agnes moved back and forth between patients, adjusting various patients and giving them their medications. Esme was gone, and she had chosen the worst possible time to do so. With a series of bizarre accidents, the Wing had recieved an influx of patients. She cast a sorrowful glance towards the drawn curtains of the private ward, trying to figure out a cure. Too many things had happened lately that Agnes had no control over. At least the Glory thing was over she thought miserably. She had sorted the beds out, but was painfully aware of the several students still in her care. She couldn't do anything to save that poor girl. Nothing. She heaved an aggravated sigh and went back to doing all of her chores.

Sarah looked from JD's prone form to the woman, faltering for a moment in surprise at the question. "Involved?" she asked and shook her head. "No, just... a friend. Can you tell me what happened to him?"

[nannynutter.livejournal.com]

She snorted derisively. "The other man didn't tell me much. Said the boy fell." she looked into Sarah's face. "You don't know anything about this, do you?"

[nopower-overme.livejournal.com]

"No, not at all! I didn't even know he was here," Sarah said immediately, unaware she had just given herself away. She looked to JD and then again to the woman. "Is he sleeping now?"

[nannynutter.livejournal.com]

Agnes looked at the woman suspiciously. "So why are you here?" she glanced down at the man. "He's in a coma." she said delicately.

[nopower-overme.livejournal.com]

"Oh no!" Sarah said, looking horrified as she moved closer and focused on JD, the question and a possible excuse forgotten in the face of that revelation. "Do his friends know yet?"

[nannynutter.livejournal.com]

She frowned slightly and her eyes narrowed. "I don't know his full name yet, and only the man who brought him has been in. He may have told people." she said coldly, and stepped closer to Sarah, her arms crossed. "You didn't answer my question dear. Why are you here?"

[nopower-overme.livejournal.com]

"Magical contraceptives," Sarah said, looking as honest as possible for having just thought the reason up so quickly. It was not really a lie, so much. "I was worried that the ones I used from home would no longer be effective here for some reason and I figured the hospital wing was the place to go for that."

The question answered, she looked at JD thoughtfully. "Would it be all right if I sat with him a bit, since no one else has come? I could talk to him, so he knows someone is here for him until his friends arrive."

Agnes gave the woman a searching glance before she moved off to the cupboard. She came back with a bottle of purple pills and handed them to Sarah. "There you go dear." she looked at the prone figure and sighed. "He won't hear you dear."

[nopower-overme.livejournal.com]

"Thank you," Sarah said, sticking the bottle in her back pocket for later perusal. She already had a doctor - kind of - and it certain was not a concept she felt embarrassed about addressing with him. It was simply commonplace to her by now. It had gotten her in the door without suspicion and for that she was grateful.

"Yes, he will," she said determinedly as she settled on the edge of the bed and gently took JD's hand, squeezing it gently between both of hers.

Agnes felt her heart constrict a little, as she moved closer. "I'll do mye best dear. Of course you can staye with him." she quickly looked away to wipe a tear away, before she looked back to check on JD's conditions. "What's his fulle name dear?"

[nopower-overme.livejournal.com]

"I don't know, he goes by JD as far as I know," Sarah said softly, feeling regret for not knowing even a small fact about JD. They might not have been more than acquaintances, but she had expected better of herself in learning about the people she met. "He's not in my house, though a few of his friends are."

She squeezed his hand again, smiling though he could not see it. After all, a smile on one's face helped project the tone of one's voice. She leaned in, talking in a steady voice. "Hi JD. It's Sarah. You probably don't remember me really well, but we met at the pizza party, where I talked to you and your friend, the Doctor. I met Rose at my sorting, she's the reason I finally realized being a Gryffindor might be something I could be. And you told me about your boyfriend, Jack, though I'll admit I was surprised about that, because I didn't really know any guys who had boyfriends before coming here. Not that I think it's bad, not at all, just a new experience like all the rest here." She knew she was rambling, but her voice was lighthearted as she spoke. "I'm certain your friends will be here soon and they'll talk to you too, and we can all tell you how much we'd like you to get better and wake up."

Agnes suddenly busied herself with fixing a drip to give the boy a steady supply of potion. Partly to give the children some privacy, and partly so that Sarah couldn't see her face. "Woulde you,er, woulde you like a drinke dear?"

[nopower-overme.livejournal.com]

Sarah looked up from her rambling to JD, a soft smile of appreciation on her face that briefly turned curious at the fact the woman seemed to be avoiding looking at her. "You don't have to do that, you've got so much more important things to do, I'm sure," she said softly. Unable to help herself, her look swept the room to try to see those occupy it. "How strange that magic does so much more than the medical field could in my time, cures so much, yet there is still things it can't save." Shaking her head, she spoke brightly to JD. "But you aren't one of them, JD, because all you need to do is wake up. I'm going to visit you every day until you are so tired of me you wake up just to tell me to leave you be, okay? But I want you to wake up long before that."

Agnes hurriedly sorted the drip and looked up the ward, avoiding Sarah's eye. "Yes, I really have to check up on other patiebts dear. I really should get to work." she said, fighting down a sob. What a nice girl. "I wish you luck dear." she gave Sarah a rare smile.

[nopower-overme.livejournal.com]

"Oh, JD has the luck, I'm certain of it, we just have to wait for it to catch up to him," Sarah said confidently, giving JD's hand a gentle squeeze. She looked up and then paused for a moment before speaking. "Are... excuse me for being rude, but... are you all right?" she asked, looking at the woman hesitantly, but completely intent.

[nannynutter.livejournal.com]

Agnes smiled, glancing further up the ward. "Yes dear, just worried about my other patients. Thank you for the concern." with that she hurried up the wing, waiting until she was out of ear-shot before she let out a sob. That girl was so sweet!

Sarah looked placated, if still a bit concerned, and then turned her attention back to JD. "Well, JD, since this is so one sided for the moment, I think I'm going to have to start improvising." She paused, thinking and then made a pleased sound. "I'll teach you magic. I don't have my books right now, but I can talk about what I do know now and bring the books from now on. They said in college learning things by osmosis was helpful, so this will be just the same." And so Sarah started teaching JD about Care of Magical Creatures.
