Dani nodded absently in response to Roze’s comments regarding Dan and the headmistress, as her attention was primarily focused on not falling over or running into a wall as she struggled to keep up with Roze’s swift pace to the infirmary. Of course, it didn’t help that, as they walked, the ache in her head continued to grow worse, accompanied by a growing sense of nausea. Needless to say, Dani was relieved when they finally made it to their destination all the way on the third floor, even if everything was still spinning.
And that’s when Roze noticed that she certainly wasn’t in tip-top shape, her hair turning a violent shade of red as she asked if Wade had hit Dani with a spell before switching to a language that the smaller girl didn’t recognize. Dani only managed to shake her head no before Mrs. Longbottom realized that they were in the room and ushered them both to beds lined up along the wall, muttering about something under her breath.
Grateful for the opportunity to sit down, Dani plopped down onto the thin mattress without question, squeezing her eyes shut as another wave of dizziness came over her. Figuring that she should probably respond to Roze and let her know that Wade had not hit her with a spell, Dani went to grab her whiteboard, only then realizing that she left it in the hallway outside of the Dining Hall where she had dropped it.
Before she could worry too much about it, Mrs. Longbottom, her blonde hair tied neatly in a bun, came over and began tending to Roze’s wound. As she muttered under her breath and waved her wand over the site of the injury, it mended itself, tissue regrowing and reconnecting to cover the wound and stop the bleeding. The nurse then proceeded to instruct Roze to take it easy with her arm for the rest of the day, asking a few questions about how she felt to make sure that there were no further issues to treat.
As she interrogated Roze concerning how she was feeling, Mrs. Longbottom came over and began shining a light from a wand into Dani’s eyes, her fingers gently, yet firmly, holding the young girl’s eyelids open. After working for a few seconds, Mrs. Longbottom asked Dani if she had been hit with a spell as well. Dani slightly shook her head no, Mrs. Longbottom’s firm grasp keeping her from moving much more than that, and tried to grab her whiteboard to explain what had happened.
After a moment of confusion over her missing whiteboard, Dani remembered again that she had dropped it when she had been knocked over, which meant that she was effectively silenced until she got it back. Still, it was important to let Mrs. Longbottom know that she had hit her head, so she attempted to communicate that knowledge by pointing to the side of her head, smacking the back of her hand, and pointing to the floor. Hopefully, Mrs. Longbottom would understand what she was trying to say, although it was up to Roze to tell her what house they were in and their names.
