Hospital Wing

Odessa stared stunned at the shorter woman while in her chambers Viper froze, slightly nervous and annoyed, quickly casting an invisibility charm on herself, returning to the cottage.

Kiara sighed and shock her head, she was to exsahsted to go chasing after her staff who insisted on going on there own missions behind her back.

"I swear those two are going to be the death of me" she mumbled.

Looking over at Odessa, a woman who just lost very thing in her world a course of one day.

She placed a hand on her shoulder, "i will try to help you in anyway I can Dessa"

Odessa nodded tearfully. "Thank you." she added softly. "And I'm sorry we never quite kept in touch. You were one of the nicest people I ever knew here at Hogwarts." she covered the headmistress's hand with her own.

Eglantine apparated into the room with Steven Deepwell and promptly collapsed after letting go of his arm.

"Odessa!" he exclaimed as he engulfed his wife into his arms.

Odessa stared, stunned. "S-Steven?" she wept, this time with tears of joy and disbelief as she passionately kissed her husband. 'Oh, god, I thought I lost you..." she exclaimed as she rested her head against his chest.

"Lost me?"

Odessa nodded fearfully, "We were attacked by dark wizards, darling."

Steven swore softly as he lavished Odessa with kisses. "That's it, we're moving to the U.S......"

Viper entered the Hospital Wing, looking as composed as possible. "Wh-How?" she sputtered at her sister's snogging form before she spotted Eglantine on the ground.

"Professor," she knelt down beside the unconscious woman, summoning a rejuvenating potion and gently pouring it down her throat.

(Going to bed now. Later,)

((okay, sleep well))

Eglantine opened her eyes, "I was wrong." she said softly, reaching up and touching Viper's cheek. "Thank you." she gasped, using her cane to pull herself to her feet.
She approached the happily embracing couple, but stayed a short distance away.

Kiara watched as Eglantine apperated in to the hospital wing.

Then a fearfull thought struck her Eglantine had apperated directly in to hogwarts with a muggle who had been dead not long ago.

Either Eglantine is suddenly more powerful then merlin himself or the wards around Hogwarts were down.

"What how did you apperate in here? you shouldn't able to?" asked Kiara shakily.

"I cut through a weakness in the wards. The problem can be corrected as soon as possible."

Kiara tightened her fists, it was her fault, what was to stop Voldemort from walking right in right now, Sure there was their agreement, but she hardly expected him follow through with it when Hogwarts was basicly defenceless.

She was so weak it was effecting hogwarts wards she needed to fix it..

Glancing over at Obessa and her husband Steven she excused her self.

"I am glad this worked for the both of you, but if you will excuse me I have a ugent matter to attend to at the moment, So I will be in my office"

Kiara left the hospital wing intent on recharging the wards, though in the back of her mind a voice was warning her rechaging the wards in her present condition could be dangerous, but she didn't have any other choice.

Viper stared a bit confused at the recent events and Eglantine's sudden change in behavior. However, she did her best to hide it, opting for a neutral front. She stood a bit awkwardly staring at the others until Odessa beckoned her forward.

"Darling, you remember my sister, Amaranth, don't you. Well, she's all grown up now and saving other's lives." she said, squeezing her hand affectionately.

Steven stared at Viper stunned. "Wow, its nice to finally meet you in the flesh! I've heard so much about you! Come here, sis!" he said pulling her into an awkward hug. When he released her, Viper smiled slightly and inquired as to the other occupant in the room's health, offering a potion to sister, who gracefully declined.

"No, thank you Amaranth. I've got my cure right here," she said snuggling into Steven's embrace.

Viper nodded. "And you, Professor? The potion is short-term. I recommend lots of rest but if you'd like I could give you a double dosage."

"Indeed." Eglantine agreed. "However I do not have the time at the moment." She could not help staring at Steven. After all she had broken wizarding law for him and his wife; not to mention the fact that he was bound to her.
Since he was not of magical blood, the bound was not the same as with Voldemort. But she could feel him, his higher emotions and his joy at the moment made a rather unbalanced feeling in her own mind.

Viper nodded, wondering what the older Professor had planned to do but not caring at the moment for she had a bigger task at hand. Turning to the other two she adressed them. "Odessa, Steven, it's been a long, rough night, you've been through hell and need rest." she waved her wand, transfiguring the standard sized hospital beds into a satin covered queen sized one, conjuring a few nightclothes and sleeping potions. "Here." she handed it to the grateful couple. "We can talk in the morning, Odessa."

Odessa smiled warmly. "I'm looking forward to it." she scooted, allowing her husband to lay next to her. "And Amaranth? Thank you." she said with tears of gratitude.

Viper nodded silently. "Good night." she summoned 2 extra vials and handed them to Eglantine. "The green one is a rejuvenating one lasting for 12 hours, the yellow is for sleeping." she smiled slightly, but sincerely. "Goodnight Professor. Take care..."

Eglantine just nodded, taking the potions and slipping them silently into her robe pocket.
"Good night, Mr and Mrs. Deepwell." she murmured, making her way for the door.

Viper followed the older woman's example and bid the other two good night, making her way to her personal chambers.

Eglantine paused right outside of the Hospital Wing in order to erect a ward to alert her if anyone entered the room. Confident that it, combined with her being able to feel Steven's emotions and various thoughts, would be able to provide ample protection, the exhausted professor made her way down the hallway.

((Professor DeLanquar can now be found in her chambers))

Kiara floated Ana Vaight into the hospital wing, and made sure she wasn't hurt any where else.

She gave the young slytherin a nerve calming potion to help with her shock.

Then she got up and went over to the nurses office dusk to write a letter to Viper informing her of the situation.

Ana stayed where she was, unwilling to move. Feelings of shame and anger washed over her. How could she have been so stupid as to wake up and then just pass right back out again?!
She was pathetic.
But why hadn't her head been clear? Why had the memories just poured over her, obscured her? It wasn't normal.
But she knew why. Those memories had been locked away, banished and forgotten for so long... for years... They'd taken over in that instant, because she hadn't dealt with them at the time.
Memory overload.
Ana cautiously thought back. Her head hitting the wall...But it didn't hurt any more.
Merlin, why was she so weak?
Breathing grimly, she opened her eyes, ready to face the shame.

After storing the trunk with the Boggart securely inside inside his office, Finn made his way over to the hospital wing. He gently pushed open the door and entered.

"How is the girl?" he asked.

Kiara looked over to the new charms professor.

"Appears to be starting to wake up, She'll be alright"

"Kids always cause us so much trouble, huh?" Finn said jokingly, relaxing a little as he sat down on an empty bed.

Ana braced herself and opened her eyes.
The familiar sight of the hospital wing loomed before her and her vision became blurred for an instant.
Glancing around, she saw the two Professors nearby.
"Um...Hi?"
She winced. That was the most ridiculously stupid thing to say when you wake up from memory overload. Really, really stupid.

"Better take it easy for a while, kiddo," Finn said to the young girl with a smile.

Ana was torn between embarrasment and annoyance. She was not a "kiddo"... not by any means. Settling for the slightly miffed look, she smiled slightly.
"Um...I'm sorry I couldn't beat the Boggart... I...Um...Sorry?"
Groaning inwardly, Ana wondered if she'd lost brain cells. That was practically unintelligable. Something was making her drowsy and calm, and slightly confused.
Her eyes widened as a thought struck her.
"Please say you didn't give me nerve calming potion?!"

"Whoa, calm down there for a moment! I didn't give you anything, we'll have to ask the Headmistress if she gave you anything - which would be stupid, mind you, as she should have left any medical care to the resident Healer," Finn explained calmly, looking around to see if the headmistress was still around. "Are allergic to this new 'nerve calming' potion?"
