The Last Battle

Chapter 9

78. In the event of a patient with Dragon Pox, what treatment is required?

Apply Gorsemore Brew to each rash hourly and place paitent in quarantine.

79. What cures memory damage caused by the Obliviate spell?

Time.

Congratulations! You have completed your Healer exam, place your test in the yellow envelope and your results will be sent by owl.

I exhale and follow the instructions. Seventy-nine questions and two hours of scribbling the answers. I stand up from the desk and leave the examination room.

"Well done miss." An elf squeaks from the door. I smile and hurriedly leave the building via the fire grates.

"YOU'RE NOT GOING BACK TO HOGWARTS GINERVA! IT'S TOO DANGEROUS!" I hear Mrs Weasley yell as I walk through the gate.

"MUM! I HAVE TO! IT'S MY LAST YEAR! BESIDE IT'S STILL SAFER THAN ANYWHERE!" Ginny shouts back.

I awkwardly walk slowly towards the house, not wanting to interrupt their fighting match.

"Maia." Mrs Weasley notices me.

Too late.

"Hi Mrs Weasley, Ginny."

"How did your examination go?" She asks, leaving Ginny and walking into the kitchen.

"It was easy, I should get my results soon."

"Good good. Do you think Ginny should go back to Hogwarts?" she blurts out.

I bite my lip and glance at Ginny, who is giving me a pleading look. "I heard this morning that Snape is headmaster, so who knows what could happen inside the walls-"

"Ha see! Ginny it's too dangerous." Mrs Weasley snaps.

"Mum! Neville and Luna and the rest of the DA are going back." Ginny whines, shooting me a glare.

"Mrs Weasley, I still think Ginny needs to finish her education. It's very important and even though Snape is Headmaster, it still maybe safer with the protection of the other teachers." I add quickly.

"I will discuss this with your father tonight." Mrs Weasley answers to Ginny and walks away.

"Dad should talk some sense into her." Ginny smiles, walking into the kitchen and picking two cookies from the hidden cookie jar on the top shelf of the pantry.

"Want one?" She asks.

I nod and she chucks me the second one.

"Do you think you passed your Healer exams?"

"I think so, I knew all the questions."

"And if you pass what happens?"

"I go to St Mungos and start as an assistant nurse, for a year, then I do another exam and if I pass that I go and work as an assistant healer for a semester-"

"What's the difference?" Ginny asks, munching on the choc chip cookie.

"A nurse assists with minor injuries and a healer deals with more spell related damage and animal injuries."

"Ok."

"Then I go and do ANOTHER exam and if I pass that I will be a fully qualified healer."

"Awesome." Ginny grins but I can tell she isn't as interested as when she asked the question, she'd rather be a fully qualified Quidditch player.
