The Infirmary

Cosette watched Becca leave then turn to Juria, "Hi, Juria," she smiled. The cloth that was wrapped around her pricked finger was getting very bloody. Cosette walked up to Juria and showed her the rose, "It's for you," Cosette smiled.

The blood started dripping down her finger, "Oh darn." She unwrapped the cloth and threw it away. Her finger had blood on it, "Juria, would you help me? I think I need proper treatment," she asked.

Juria raised her eyebrow at the bloody finger but took the rose gently and smiled beautifully,

"Thank you Cosette, its lovely... and exactly what happened?"

Juria laughed but quickly went to the table nearest her and got a few little strips of something that looked kind of sticky. She returned to Cosette and put the strips on the cut mark, the bleeding stopped and the cut remained closed.

Juria then got out a bandaid and put it in place. When that was quickly done, she smiled at Cosette and her eyes sparkled.

Cosette smiled at her, "Well I wanted to pick a rose for you...to say thanks for being my friend, and by mistake I pricked my finger on the thorn," she explained. She watched her do her job. "Thank you Juria for your help, I really appreciate it," Cosette thanked to Juria.

Juria smiled and nodded,

"Well thank you Cosette, I love roses... in fact my wand has rose patters on it..."

Juria pulled out her normal wand and showed it to the girl. The handle had a whole bunch of roses on it and then vines that wrapped themselves around the wand to about the middle, and those had small roses on it here and there.

"... Just be more careful next time all right?"

Juria grinned and the girl,

"Wouldn’t want you getting hurt on my account!"

Juria smiled and put her wand away again.

"You are most welcome Cosette, I am happy you didn’t get hurt too badly."

Juria smiled again and sat down on the bed next to her, there were no other patients in the room.

"So how has school been for you?"

Juria started with small talk quickly, she didn’t have anything else do to and Cosette was her friend.

Cosette examined the wand and smiled, "It's very beautiful," she watched her put it away and faced her when Juria sat next to her, "School has been fine, haven't been in any of my classes but every one seem to be nice," Cosette explained answering Juria's question and smiled.

"I think i made a friend, kind of unexpected but I think I did," Cosette gave a small laugh and thought about Becca and how she was so nice to show Cosette where the infirmary was.

((lol she wasn't really sitting but thats cool lol))

((Sorry, I should have phrased that differently XD... I meant the bed that was next to Juria XD XD....oops I’m an idiot haha!! Ok well lets just continue anyway))

Juria shrugged and smiled,

"I am sure when you are in your classes you will like them, and Becca is a great person. She could be friends with anyone... well mostly anyone."

Juria laughed a bit and wondered how Becca would befriend Viper. Viper was a great person but she couldn’t see the happy energetic Becca being friends with her.

"Becca knows me pretty well... she has volunteered to help me here..."

Juria smiled softly but was still worried about if Becca spent TOO much time with Juria then Becca would find out Juria's "dark secret". Juria also worried about Cosette also. However Juria was determined to be as kind and helpful as ever to her friends.

((lol wow))

"Well I'm glad Becca is a nice person, shes very outgoing," Cosette smiled.

"Sweet, that sounds cool, working here...but I'm not much of helper I would get myself hurt while doing something," she laughed at herself.

Juria laughed and threw her head back,

"Outgoing might be an understatement!"

Juria then wondered something,

"I have a question Cosette, have you met a Slytherin named Raven? She is in her 7th year I believe."

Juria wondered if her two friends knew each other yet.

"No, I haven't met her yet..." Cosette was worried about meeting a Slytherin. She heard stories how terrible they are, and they like to mess with people. Cosette kind of feared the Slytherin.

In the middle of Cosette's and Juria's conversation Raven walks in with a bloody knee. Raven ignored the Ravenclaw and went straight up to Juria, "You won't believe what happened," Raven explained showing Juria her bloody knee. She didn't even realize the other student next to her.

Cosette looked at Raven and was glad she was next to a adult or who knows what the Slytherin might do to Cosette,

Thank you Juria for being at my side Cosette thought smiling.

Juria raised her eyebrow at Raven and almost laughed that she had just been talking about her.

"Will I not believe it or I don't want to know?"

Juria laughed and looked at the knee,

"Ok I want to know, what did you do?!"

Juria chucked slightly and flicked her wrist. A few paper towels floated magically to the sink, where the water turned on by itself, then the water turned off and the paper towels magically went across the room and pressed against Raven's knee. Normally Juria would have done it all; however she had a trying day and didn’t exactly feel like getting up. She however did wait for Raven to explain her side of the story.

Raven cleared her throat then laughed, she couldn't explain how stupid she was for getting a scrap on her knee.

"Ok, well." Raven laughed again and never laughed like this in years. "I can't explain at all, ok well I was walking around and I choked over pudding then I tripped over a crack getting pudding all over my face, good thing I was near a bathroom, and so I washed up and came here limping with a bloody knee!" Raven laughed. You could tell she wasn't lieing because her robes were kind of wet from getting pudding on it.

"Wow, that seems pretty funny!" Cosette giggled trying to be friends.

Raven's laughter broke and stared at the Ravenclaw, "...Who are you?" she asked half rude and half demanding.

Cosette looked away and wished she had never said anything,

I wish I hadn't said anything, now maybe she might hurt me Cosette thought regretting she had spoken, she hadn't spoken out loud without spoken to before.

Juria rolled her eyes,

"Wow Raven, seriously!!"

Juria then smiled to the Ravenclaw next to her,

"Cosette, this is Raven, technically my best friend... and Raven this is Cosette."

Juria lifted herself off the bed and bent down to Raven's knee. She grabbed the towel and started wiping the knee gently but then wondered aloud in a VERY funny voice,

"HOW ON EARTH DID YOU CHOKE ON PUDDING?!"

Juria looked up at Raven and a funny look also accompanied her voice.

((ok think of how I would say it, then you know how Juria would say it XD... so I know YOU would laugh lol!!))

((oh and another thing!!! XD Raven would probably not show this much emotion to many people other than Juria hahahahahah!!!! XD XD I feel so special hahaha!!))

Raven looked at the Ravenclaw in a disgusted face not wanting to be friendly, but when she saw Juria's face and the tone she did asking how Raven choke on pudding Raven couldn't help but laughing.

"Your looking at a blond in disguise!" Raven cracked up laughing not knowing HOW she could choke on pudding.

Cosette gave a small laugh so no one could hear. She wished Raven would be nicer to her so she can have more friends but Cosette knew it might not work.

((LOL omg im laughing right now lol))

((YOU BETTER BE!!! lol jk im bored lol))

Juria shook her head and turned down to the scrape again.

"I wouldn’t be surprised Raven, seriously!"

Juria cleaned it up then took out her wand. She hoped that Raven wouldn’t get TOO freaked out about Juria having a wand... Once Death Eater having a wand. Juria muttered a simple spell after the wound was clean and her wand sprayed a simple substance onto it to help with any bacteria that could have gotten it, and it also helped to make sure there would be no scar and so it would not hurt as much. Juria then muttered something else and thin pieces of fabric came out of the tip and wrapped itself around the cuts, perfectly and so that it was nicely fit and wouldn’t come apart.

"Now stay here for a little bit to tell me how your leg is doing. And also we can all talk!"

Juria smiled and motioned Raven to the seat that was across from the bed that Cosette sat at. Juria stood up and sat next to Cosette and smiled at Raven. She knew that Raven didn’t exactly enjoy showing emotions to anyone other than Juria, however she wanted to at least try.

Raven jumped once, "My knee feels better," then she sat down. She thought of what to say, "Oh my classes are awesome! .....I think, I ditched one class, I still got points for it though lol i did the homework!" Raven smiled proudly.

Cosette listened about ditching a class and shook her head in disappointment she thought ditching class was wrong and a bad habit and nothing to be proud of. She sighed.

"Oh, but if you want to ask me anything go right ahead," Raven smiled.

Juria raised an eye at Raven, she was being out of her normal self sustained self. Juria knew that around a few people Raven seemed calm and collected and whatnot, but around Juria... Raven seemed to not be able to hold her emotions in.

"Well I am glad you are enjoying classes! Do you know what you want to be when you graduate yet?"

Juria smiled softly, once Raven graduated then Juria worried that she wouldn’t get to see much of Raven.

Raven smiled hugely when Juria asked her what she wanted to be once graduated, "I wanted to work here at Hogwarts, I wanted to be the caretaker! So we can hang out all the time," she really didn't want to leave Juria. Juria was Raven's true friend and she can always trust Juria. She looked at Juria to see what she would say about Raven being a caretaker at Hogwarts. She was a little worried about it at first...since Juria is a death eater and all, but Raven thought it through and she knows Juria would NEVER hurt her.

Juria grinned back and happiness was apparent in her eyes,

"That is so great!! We need someone like you here taking care of the grounds and everything. And if you had decided to go, I would have been very sad."

Juria made a playful pouting face and looked at Raven, her eyes were like a sad puppy, and made someone want to do anything for her. This time it was only a joke and she quickly changed her "puppy dog eyes" to happy again and laughed out loud.

"However, do you have it in your mind to make all the kids afraid of you or like you?"

Juria grinned, as if she already knew the answer.

Raven laughed at Juria's pouting face and flipped her hair out of her face. "Well, of course I'm going to make all the kids afraid of me!" Raven grinned evilly. She was excited to get the kids afraid of her.

Juria grinned, she knew that Raven would say that. All the students loved Juria when they met her, and Juria laughed at the thought that they would soon learn to fear Raven.

"Raven, that’s not nice!! I mean look at the students who know me!... I think all of them like me if not love me!"

Juria grinned and winked, Raven knew about her fact of being a Death Eater. And it was almost humorous that everyone loved her since they didn’t know.

"Are you sure about that?" Raven joked.

Cosette smiled and made sure not to work at Hogwarts if Raven was going to be here.

Juria grinned a little, being a bit more towards the evil side,

"If I jinx them or feed them love potions maybe!"

Juria laughed, she joked back with the Slytherin but she knew that she would never do something bad to another person. Never, unless forced or she was controlled, would she hurt someone else intentionally.

Raven looked at her suspicious, "Oh my god what did you put in me! just kidding!" she laughed continuing on with Juria's joke. Raven was having fun with Juria and was glad to be with her. She looked down at her robes, "My robes smell like pudding," Raven laughed.

Juria smiled and winked at Cosette, then playfully said back,

"Oh nothing, you know a little jinx here and there never hurt anyone!!"

Juria laughed and then looked at her robes,

"Nothing a little wash or cleaning won’t fix... or I could fix them."

Juria grinned playfully, but she knew that Raven might be a bit uneasy with Juria performing magic WITH WAND on her. Juria hoped Cosette was enjoying herself; they had nothing to do so they both were free to stay in the Infirmary with her.

((Continued from Corridor at Night thread))

Professor DeLanquar followed after Kiara as they entered the Infirmary. It struck her as rather ironic that they had brought the student to the one place that might have been able to save her after that chance had passed.
