Welcome to Hogwarts

The Remedy

The Hospital Wing was always quiet inside if there weren't any students screaming in pain due to a broken limb but luckily there weren't any of those students yet.

Pomfrey worked herself to the bone to keep Alexia comfortable and healed while she was still unconscious. She's been getting a lot of visitors from her friends until they get ushered out by Pomfrey.

Elizabeth tried to keep up her professionalism in front of students and was thankful when some of them went to her to talk about their problems - whether it's relationship troubles, venting about someone or just hating the world, she'd listen to them and try to voice her advice or just give a listening ear.

Unfortunately, it was very hard to get her daughter out of her mind and she felt even worse when the first Quidditch game was tomorrow. Elizabeth knew how it feels to watch the first game of Quidditch at Hogwarts, it was quite the experience and she didn't want Alexia to miss any of it.

She just wanted her daughter to have the best time at Hogwarts, but so far, nothing was going right for her.

Lizzie walked the halls of Hogwarts during her free time and passed many students as they were on their way to their destination. She had her hand idly trailing along the walls as she went forward and gave a few students a smirk when they faced her.

Draco leaned against a wall with his arms folded and looked away from his usual cronies before facing her. He smirked cockily and snickered as he looked back towards Crabbe and Goyle.

Lavinia stood beside them and watched Lizzie saunter pass them. She could sense her sadness under her professional expression. She could hear Draco mocking Alexia and faced him silently.

"So Whittle got hit in the head," he said and shrugged at his friends. "I'm not surprised because wasn't she dropped on the head when she was a baby?"

Lizzie stopped in her tracks once she heard him. She hesitated in her place and closed her eyes. She was never a fan of conflicts, not only that, she wasn't good at standing up for herself. She had her spats with friends and siblings in the past but she hated it. Except for when she hears someone bad mouthing her family, she wanted nothing more than to shut them up but she was now a Hogwarts staff, confronting a student for that would be rather unprofessional.

She swallowed hard and continued her stroll through Hogwarts. She mentally willed herself to take the high road and ignore Draco. Either way, she wasn't in the right mindset to confront him, she wasn't the best at it. She never was.

She made it on the Grounds and felt the cool breeze hit her immediately. Some students were also out enjoying the weather and studying under the sun. It was something her and her siblings used to do.

Screaming was heard in the distance, Elizabeth perked up in alarm and noticed a couple kids looking to the source of the scream. She took a couple steps to investigate but stopped when she saw Calista running towards the entrance behind Lizzie and heard her laughing hysterically.

Fred and George ran after her as they're soaked from head to toe. Their robes were also damaged and dripping with cold water.

"Get back here!" Fred shouted. "We're gonna feed you to the giant squid!"

"You are so DEAD, Calista!"

Elizabeth let out an exasperated sigh and snickered incredulously. She shook her head with a smirk as they were heading her way and took a step aside.

Calista laughed as she stopped beside Lizzie and looked back at them breathlessly. She beamed playfully and backed away as they stopped in front of her, sending her a glare.
