Today, not so much.

It was the same as every other year. Weeds to pull. Potion ingredients to harvest. Plants to treat. Seeds to sow. Usually she couldn't wait to get her hands in the dirt. Today she wanted to scratch her name off the Hospital Wing signup sheet and crawl back into the Gryffindor common room to sulk.

"Ugggggh!"

This was her last year at Hogwarts, and she couldn't find it in herself to care.

The expectations were still there. Good grades. Pass her NEWTs. Be the perfect representative of both the Nordstrom and Zdravkova families. A year ago she would've rolled her eyes, muttered something rude under her breath, and done whatever she wanted anyway.

Now... Now it wasn't so simple.

She had a headache from trying to sort through everything rattling around inside her mind.

The etiquette course had changed more than she'd ever expected. It wasn't just which fork to use or how to greet a duchess without embarrassing herself. It was a whole new way of thinking. A thousand little expectations she'd never noticed before.

The worst part? Some of it had actually been... Fun.

She grimaced.

Not that she'd ever admit that aloud.

Then there had been the garden party. Beautiful weather. Beautiful decorations. Wonderful food. Everything had been perfect. Until Liliya had casually informed her that after the wedding she wouldn't be moving into a house somewhere with Drago.

She'd be moving into Harewood House. She hadn't even realized she'd been carrying that dream until someone took it away.

A little house. A garden. Just her... and Drago. Maybe children one day.

Much, much later.

Instead she'd be living under Oleg's roof. The thought still made her stomach twist.

Her outburst hadn't gone over well. Oleg had made certain she understood exactly what was expected of her. Ever since then, everything had felt... dark.

The excitement she'd finally started feeling about marrying Drago had become tinged with fear. It was easier when he was standing beside her. He somehow made all of it seem manageable. But he wasn't here now. He'd graduated. There would be no persistent Russian finding her in the greenhouse.

And Hogwarts now felt emptier without him.

sigh

A sound behind her pulled Matilda from her thoughts. Blinking, she turned toward the greenhouse entrance, forcing herself back into the present. A small smile finally appeared.

"Hey there." She brushed the dirt from her hands onto her apron. "Here to help me get this place back into shape?"]]>

The Hospital Wing
Healing Spells


✾



Overview


The following are all site canon spells used in the pursuit of healing. Only those who have earned these spells are permitted to use them, as they are rewards for passing the hospital wing. In the event the spell is also already found on the willow, you can use this spell. If you own it here but not on your willow, you can still use it. A record of the spells you have unlocked will be kept separately in your willow branch. After passing the hospital wing, simply add the following when claiming your other points:

Code: 
[*]Pass the hospital wing: Tier [insert number for the tier passed. If you spent the year in Tier 1, you write 1 as you have now passed it. If you finished Tier 4, you put 4 as you have now passed it]



Novice


Tergeo (General Cleaning Charm)Absorbs and cleans minor messes like blood or other fluids. This Can be used on patients who come in covered in dirt or other debris before beginning treatment. This spell can also be used to clean necessary hospital equipment.
Oxygenero (Oxygen Support Charm)Provides a controlled stream of oxygen. Typically used when a patient comes in complaining of difficulty breathing or after a period of oxygen deprivation, such as a new drowning.
Thermoscopio (Temperature Detection Charm)Monitors patient temperature. This spell can detect whether a patient has a fever or has a low core temperature and is in need of warming up. In the case of fevers, the caster's wand will grow warm. In the case of too-low temperatures, the caster's wand will take on a chill.
Cordis Mensura (Heart Rate Charm)Reads rhythm, speed, regularity of heartbeat. The sound of the patient's heart beating will be produced through the tip of the wand at a volume audible enough to be heard by the caster and often the patient if standing close enough.


✾


Junior


Anapneo (Airway Clearing Charm)Removes obstacles that are blocking the airway. Useful when a patient presents at the hospital wing with signs of choking and other such respiratory distress.
Cheering CharmUsed carefully in small doses to lift patient spirits. Some patients may appear melancholic during treatment or pessimistic about their outcomes. Often this is within normal behaviour; however, if they seem particularly disturbed or despondent, this charm may be employed. Use sparingly.
Bronchiosolvo (Bronchial Relief Charm)Temporarily eases constricted breathing. Not to be confused with the charm for eradicating choking. This is more useful, not when there is a physical blockage, but in the case of patients in respiratory distress due to mild to moderate inflammation of the lungs and muscles of the chest. This spell's effects work for up to an hour and may need to be reapplied depending on the patient's condition.
EpiskeyHeals minor cuts, bruises, and nosebleeds. This is a standard healing spell that can stop minor bleeding and take care of less consequential injuries. If wounds are deep or there is significant blood loss, this spell will not be effective.
Lenire (Anti-Inflammatory I)Relieves one symptom (swelling, redness, pain, heat). Useful for patients who come in with few or one symptom/uncomplicated cases. Relief typically lasts for an hour; however, more seasoned applications of the spell have been shown to allow relief to last for two.
Invenio Dulcis (Blood Sugar Charm) Detects glycemic issues. This charm is used for detecting whether a patient is experiencing low sugar in their blood, whether due to chronic illnesses or other yet to be diagnosed reasons.
Pressura Sanguinis (Blood Pressure Charm)A spell used for discovering a patient's blood pressure. The numbers appear briefly atop the patient's forehead and must be read and recorded quickly, as they will vanish within a minute of being cast.


✾


Apprentice


RepariforsThis is a versatile transfiguration spell when used for healing. It can cure mild to moderate poisoning, minor paralysis, and mild to moderate overexposure to spells. It is important to note that this is not a be-all end-all cure, as it is unable to effectively cure more persistent or severe cases of ailments and maladies.
MobilicorpusThis spell is used for the levitation of unconscious/injured patients. This spell should be used with caution, as poor concentration can lead to dropping and further injuring a patient. This spell is not recommended for long-distance transportation.
Caput Bulla (Bubble-Head Charm)Creates a bubble of breathable air for the caster or target; skilled casters can oxygenate this bubble to provide a steadier flow of continuous oxygen. This is preferred over simpler oxygenating spells for its concentrated power in more severe cases.
Tessutovero (Tissue Diagnostic Charm)This is a truly versatile and indispensable charm. It reveals the presence of broken bones, clots, tissue damage, or inflammation within the target's body. The wand is drawn across the affected area. If any of these are present, the caster's wand grows warm and the area glows a pale red for no longer than a few seconds. The worse the damage, the darker the red. If no such injuries are present, there will be no reaction to the spell.
Thermoequilibris (Temperature Regulation Charm)This charm is used in cases where patients are unable to regulate their temperature on their own. If a fever is present, this can help to lower their temperature. If the patient is too cold/experiencing hypothermic symptoms, this spell can help to warm them up. The effects only last for about an hour and may need to be reapplied depending on the condition of the patient.
Tergeo Sanitas (Sterilising Drain Charm)An advanced version of Tergeo, this charm not only cleans an area of dirt and debris but also disinfects wounds/cuts in the process. This is the preferred cleaning charm when cuts and wounds are present for its ability to help prevent infection.


✾


Adept


RennervateRevives unconscious patients (fainting, stuns). Depending on the cause of the fainting/stunning, it may take up to 3 minutes for the spell's effects to take hold. If after 15 minutes, the patient has not been revived, attempt the spell only once more before seeking professional medical assistance. Do not attempt the spell a third time.
Brackium EmendoRepairs broken bones. This charm should only be used for clean/relatively clean breaks. In the case of bone shattering, professional medical assistance should be sought after the pain relief is administered to the patient. Do not attempt on shattered bones. Do not attempt on missing bones.
Cordis Pello (Cardiac Revival Charm)Magical defibrillation. This spell should be handled carefully and, where possible, the cause of the fainting/stunning should first be ascertained to ensure further damage. The resident school nurse should be present/give approval before such a spell is used on anyone in the wing.
Lenire Majoris (Anti-Inflammatory II)Suppresses two symptoms simultaneously (swelling, redness, pain, heat). This spell is useful for patients who come in with multiple symptoms or more complicated ailments. Relief typically lasts for 3 hours; however, more seasoned applications of the spell have been shown to allow relief to last for 7 hours.
Tessutovero Acutus (Advanced Tissue Scan)Where the weaker version of this spell picks up general inflammation and damage as well as obvious breakages, this amplified version picks up layered injuries and more subtle internal damage that may otherwise be missed. The wand is drawn across the affected area. If any of these are present, the caster's wand grows warm and the area glows a pale red for no longer than a few seconds. The worse the damage, the darker the red. If no such injuries are present, there will be no reaction to the spell.


✾


Specialist


Vulnera SanenturThis is an advanced healing spell meant specifically for deep cuts and gashes. It requires careful precision as misfires can end up causing further injury. While episkey will close and sanitise smaller and shallower cuts, this is the go-to when major injury and significant bleeding have occurred.
Cordis Vita (Life Heart Charm)Stabilises arrhythmia/prevents relapse. This is a complicated spell that requires interaction with a patient's heart. As such, it should only be used as a last resort and only under the supervision of the school-appointed nurse. Multiple applications of this charm within a short period of time are not recommended and should generally be avoided.
Tessutovero Perfectus (Master Scan)This spell is to be used for the most difficult cases. It reveals hidden injuries/abnormalities and is useful in cases where a patient complains of issues, but lighter diagnostic spells are unable to uncover any causes. The wand is drawn across the affected area. If any of these are present, the caster's wand grows warm and the area glows a pale red for no longer than a few seconds. The worse the damage, the darker the red. If no such injuries are present, there will be no reaction to the spell. The intrusive nature of this spell causes moderate to high discomfort in patients and should only be used as a last resort, such as in the case of an obvious injury/complaint that is otherwise undetectable.
Lenire Perpetua (Anti-Inflammatory III)Suppresses all inflammatory signs for up to 24 hours. This spell will alleviate all symptoms, allowing the patient relief while they recover. As symptoms are often indicators of issues within the body, the source of the symptoms should first be verified so treatment may be administered in their absence.
Caput Bulla Maxima (Enhanced Bubble-Head)The bubble of oxygen can be extended to multiple patients. This spell is often only required in the case of emergencies and incidents that involve multiple patients being brought in at once with similar, moderate to severe respiratory complaints. Patient beds may need to be pushed closer together depending on the range of the caster's ability when employing this spell.

The worse the damage, the darker the red. If no such injuries are present, there will be no reaction to the spell. The intrusive nature of this spell causes moderate to high discomfort in patients and should only be used as a last resort, such as in the case of an obvious injury/complaint that is otherwise undetectable.
Lenire Perpetua (Anti-Inflammatory III)Suppresses all inflammatory signs for up to 24 hours. This spell will alleviate all symptoms, allowing the patient relief while they recover. As symptoms are often indicators of issues within the body, the source of the symptoms should first be verified so treatment may be administered in their absence.
Caput Bulla Maxima (Enhanced Bubble-Head)The bubble of oxygen can be extended to multiple patients. This spell is often only required in the case of emergencies and incidents that involve multiple patients being brought in at once with similar, moderate to severe respiratory complaints. Patient beds may need to be pushed closer together depending on the range of the caster's ability when employing this spell.

The Hospital Wing
Advancement Guide

✾


Overview

By volunteering in the hospital wing, students can advance through the school's medical ranks and learn increasingly difficult healing spells they would otherwise be unable to cast. Five tiers of spells can be unlocked, and this is done through volunteering. For each year that a student offers their services, it is assumed that they have picked up these healing essentials.

Whether your character has an interest in healing or just some free time on their hands, the hospital wing is a great activity to help them develop this area of their magic.

Once you have passed a year, a medical section will be added to your willow tree with all the new spells your character can cast both in and outside of the hospital wing.

Similarly, those working within the apothecary and greenhouses are capable of moving through the ranks, albeit in different capacities.

When considering the years of service, the student is able to effectively and efficiently cast anything in the year below the one they are currently in. They are able to attempt spells of the new service year but are not yet proficient to the point of certainty. At the end of that year, they will be considered proficient and the spells will be added to their tree.

Example: Rae is a fourth year. At the time of sign-up, she would've had three previous years of experience under her belt. This makes her a newly minted "Adept Nurse" (4th year of service), however it is understood she hasn't yet learned many things for this new year. It makes sense then that she still has issues with the "Adept" spells. She may attempt them and have some success, but nothing is guaranteed, and failure is still expected. At the end of her fourth year, she will have "passed" her fourth year of hospital wing service. At this time, the spells will be added to her willow, and she will no longer have issues casting them as she moves up to the next rank of "Specialist" in the term after.

In the case of first-year volunteers, they may RP attempting the spells in Tier 1 and are even free to succeed from time to time! But, largely, they are not and should not be played as proficient and infallible as this is only their first year on the wing, and there's much to learn.

The tiers do not coincide with the year of your student. The clock starts from the time they start. This means that it is very possible for a 6th year student to be at only Tier 2 if they began volunteering in their 4th year.

The Hospital Wing
General Information

The Wing

Located on the first floor of the castle, the hospital wing takes care of staff and students alike. The common cold, broken bones, or a sudden bout of anxiety before that test you failed to study for, the wing is equipped to handle a wide array of ailments. All but the most severe injuries and illnesses can be accommodated, and patients are overseen by a St. Mungo's trained member of staff on loan throughout the period of their specified, and renewable contract.

This is a new initiative to alleviate the trouble Hogwarts has faced in replacing its long-standing nurse following the troubles with its former Headmaster, Nicholas Holloway.

Healer Josephine Graham has picked up the mantle, transferring over from the paediatric ward of the hospital. Impressed by the records kept and the report received on the willing and diligent volunteers who stepped up in the former nurse's sudden absence, Graham has decided to allow the volunteers to continue offering their aid.

Seeing the opportunity to foster not only interest but skill, Healer Graham has worked to standardise this volunteerism into a program that can better prepare any hoping for a rewarding career in healing at St. Mungo's. With the approval of both the headmaster and the hospital's chief of staff, she set to work creating clearer distinctions in roles and expectations, ensuring more balanced shift timetables, and acquiring capable hands to help the smooth running of this new endeavour.

The Hospital Wing provides an excellent opportunity to gain practical skills in not only healing but potion making and herbology, should those be more to your liking. All are welcome, and there's certainly enough work to go around.

Healer Graham has chosen Slytherin, Ruth Elliot, to be her second in command, entrusting her to help in ensuring the smooth running of the wing. (The girl practically lives there anyway).

The Volunteers

What started out as a few students hanging around the wing to aid the former nurse with her duties has now become a small cohort of dedicated volunteers, ready to offer their time and lend a helping hand. Often affectionately called 'Angels' by Healer Graham, these students help to lighten the load, allowing the nurse to focus on the patients in need of the greatest care. The following is a general summary of each role. More comprehensive distinctions can be found here:

Nurses are primarily focused on helping with matters relating to patients. Changing bed sheets, patient meals, and maintaining accurate records are only a few of the tasks given to them. Less experienced nurses may be asked to handle small injuries and mild illnesses, administering potions (only under the directive of the healer), while more experienced nurses will have the opportunity to sit in on or aid with more complex matters. Healer Graham will, from time to time, personally tutor nurses throughout their shifts, providing ample learning opportunities. Those with an adequate level of experience will often be trusted to handle patients on their own (provided the cases aren't too complex and they have proven themselves competent). These students are often assigned less experienced nurses who aid them in a manner similar to the way they aid the healer.

Apothecary work in the backrooms of the wing, down a floor into a repurposed cellar of sorts. They are responsible for ensuring a fresh and ready supply of brews to meet the demands of the hospital wing. Those new to the wing will primarily be in charge of the lighter, simpler brews; those most in demand, like pepperup potion and basic pain draughts. There are many old recipe books and tomes along the shelves that the students are allowed and even encouraged to peruse in their free time, should they be interested in learning more complicated brews. With more experience, apothecaries will be trusted with the rarer potions that require rarer ingredients and more careful handling. They are also in charge of keeping records of the medicine stores, alerting the greenhouse attendants of any growing or diminishing need for certain ingredients, and ensuring nurses are aware of available stores.

Greenhouse Attendants are primarily stationed within greenhouse 4, which is connected to the storage room of the wing. Students working here are in charge of tending the medicinal herb garden to ensure bountiful yields that can supply the needs of the apothecaries. Checking for blight, ensuring ample nutrition of the plants, and harvesting are but a few of the tasks left to these capable individuals. They maintain the balance of the garden and are responsible for the treatment of the herbs to ensure they are fit for use in potion making.
