Can't Take My Eyes Off You. A George Weasley Love Story.

Chapter Eight: La Vie Vaut la lutte

After I returned Madam Pomfrey's books I walked to the Great Hall for dinner. Fred and George were sitting with Lee and a couple other students and I couldn't find Spencer so I sat by myself. Good thing I brought my spell book with me. I was currently reading more about vulnera sanentur, the spell Madam had taught me the other day.

The spell Vulnera Sanentur is used to heal cuts and abrasions on the skin. The stronger the witch or wizard is will determine how strong the healing power is.

I read in between eating mashed potatoes and chicken.

A bigger cut will need a stronger reaction, and just like every spell, if executed correctly could leave the caster tired, or could even make them faint. A good healer will of course put every bit of themselves behind a spell if nessesary. The more concentration that is put fourth with weild power to heal more, or larger cuts and abrasions.

"Did your friends all leave you?" Oliver asked, standing behind me. I sat the opened book down on my lap and looked up at him.

"No, I just decided to spend some quaity time with another friend." I said pointing to the book.

"Ah, mind if I join you guys?"

"Not at all" I said patting the seat next to me.

"Any plans for tonight?" He asked me, putting food on his plate.

"Just back to the hospital wing, we have to get ready for tomorrows match." I said watching for his answer.

"Yeah, Slytherin game, it should be bloody brutal." He said smiling

"That's what we're expecting." I said "I better not see you in there tomorrow!" He started laughing.

"I can't promise you anything, but I can try my very best."

"I guess I'll take it, but if you do get hurt, nothing too bad alright?"

"Sure" he said smiling and we both continued to eat and small talk until Ron, Harry, and Hermione joined us. Then Harry, Oliver, and Ron began talking about the game tomorrow and I turned to Hermione and we talked a little about what time we were going to meet in the library tonight, or if we were even going to meet because I wasn't sure how long I would be in the Hospital Wing.

The boys got up and started walking to the common room and Hermione said goodbye and headed off to the library. I grabbed my book and went to the Hospital Wing.

When I made it there I was greeted by Madam Pomfrey and Professor Snape.

"Sienna, I think we have found a way to replenish our stock of potions, we both know that you are exceptionally good at potions, after all you have more than proved it today and Professor Snape tells me that you are in a higher grade potions.I know you have made quite a few potions for St. Mungos and I think it would be good practice. You will of course be under the guidence of Professor Snape for some potions but others you are more than capable of making on your own."

"That sounds great! Thank you." I said trying to hide my excitement. Madam handed me a piece of paper, it was the inventory I took the other day. We talked about what potions I should make for tomorrow and then she sent me on my way to make the potions while she prepared the beds and medicine.

"Okay Ms. Mackall, this potion is a simple one." Professor Snape said reffering to the wide-eye potion which is used to keep a person awake or wakes them from a concussion or drug overdose. Which could be useful tomorrow, for the concussions not drugs. I crushed up the ingredients and stirred them around and continued to follow the book until finally it was the right color.
