Mischief Managed

52

I woke up the next morning to the sunrise and saw Percy was already awake, probably doing his rounds. I got out of bed and got dressed in a yellow dress with my hospital wing apron and matching headband. I grabbed my notebook and quill and started to make my way out the door. I got to the door and realized i forgot shoes. I grabbed my black ballet flats and slipped them on. 

I finally made my way to the hospital wing to be greeted with a cup of tea from Madame Pomfrey.

"Good morning dearie."

"Good morning Madame."

I put a spell on my tea to stir in some sugar and milk for me while I check on the students who were staying in the hospital wing for whatever reason. Once I'm finished with my rounds I make my way to Madame Pomfrey's desk.

"So dearie. Do you have any questions for me?"

"What made you want this career?"

"To be quite honest, I loved making people feel better and when Dumbledore offered me this position I knew it would be amazing to help students. I loved being a student here and I thought it would be nice to come back." 

I looked at Madame Pomfrey and smiled.

"So is healing more using spells or potions?"

"It's a healthy mix of both, which based on your test results and grades will not be an issue for you at all."

After talking with Madame Pomfrey for a few hours it was time for me to leave. I smiled to Madame Pomfrey and waved goodbye. I was making my way to the Great Hall for lunch and met up with my favorite head boy.

"Hi boyfriend."

"Hello my love. How was your lesson with Madame Pomfrey?"

"It was great. I learned a ton. How has your day been so far?"

"Pretty normal."

Percy and I sat down for lunch and we discussed some plans coming up with Halloween and quidditch. Ron, Harry, and Hermione came into the Great Hall and joined us at the table.

"Mirabella. How are you?"

"I'm doing alright Harry. Thank you for asking. Do you three have any plans coming up?"

"Besides all of these essays and projects for class no."

"Is it all for one class or is it for multiple classes?" 

"Snape took over Defense Against the Dark Arts so we have to write an essay over werewolves."

"Is Professor Lupin okay? Harry and I just saw him yesterday and he didn't seem sick."

The trio shrugged. I made a confused face toward the faculty table and I saw Madame Pomfrey looking at me. She nodded and motioned for me to follow her.

"I'm going to go. I'll see you lot later."

I kissed Percy's head and made my way out of the Great Hall. When I was met with the calm face of Madame Pomfrey she waved for me to continue following her and I followed her all the way to Professor Lupin's office. She knocked and I heard a very weak voice on the other side. 

"Come in."

Madame and I walked in and Professor smiled at us.

"Mirabella. What a pleasant surprise."

"Remus. Mirabella will be taking care of you with your issue. Would you like for me to explain you situation to her?"

"No that's alright. I can do it. Mirabella, you see, I am a werewolf. I was attacked by Fenrir Greyback when I was a young boy. I transform every full moon and for a few days prior and after my transformation I get very sick."

"Dearie. You will need to check on Remus frequently during this time and at dusk on the day of the full moon I will need your help caring for him through his transformation."

I nodded at the two adults and offered to make Professor Lupin some tea. 

"That would be nice. Thank you." 

I make him some tea just the way he asked for it and I cast a nonverbal spell to make the cup hold itself for him. He seemed surprised at my use of nonverbal spells and I smiled at him. I turned around and starting brewing a concoction that is supposed to help with dizziness and nausea and add it to his tea.

"You are just like your mother. So kind and caring. You even hum when you make potions like she did."

"My aunt used to say the same thing. Mum used to hum when she was doing things she enjoyed apparently."

Professor Lupin nodded and smiled softly at me.

"She always made your father smile. She was your father's ray of sunshine." 

I smiled at the professor and spent the rest of the day with professor Lupin caring for him and hearing about my parents.
