>>6213975Aubrey had met up with your squad shortly after, when the kid stopped crying happy tears. Didn't smell of gunpowder or hyperviolence; made sense, given she had probably been able to take the other people out before they had a chance to do something dumb like Gwen had.
Secured the second kid and got them to their dorms, saw them hug tight and felt some warmth around the ice; felt more when the boy clamped onto you then Emmy and got some tears on your shirts. Had the other German run off after Emmy gave him a peck on both cheeks for helping; couldn’t tell if he dashed away to keep from getting in trouble or because Em was hot and he was embarrassed. Meh, he would probably get a couple more, get used to it, by the end of the year.
Had ‘Brey ask if there were any injuries she needed to look at. Offered everyone muggle drugs and… apparently her pouch was good since she pulled out several small bottles of a sports drink she preferred since it didn’t have chlorinated water in it. Made it to the main Castle with her in lead. Had her eyes go cold when you mentioned the little bitch dumping a mag at you and the others.
Got chills from her expression.
Yeah. That girl was not going to have a fun time with Aubrey on her case.
But? In a few minutes?
You were standing in the lobby of the infirmary and Cross… she had apparently left a note for the nurse at the front saying to let you and the others see her.
A note that specifically named everyone in your coven… okay.
Not odd.
Got lead back by a pretty blonde to the same room you had been in.
Weird.
“Ah. Hello, young maidens and ladies.”, a woman in a patient’s robes said who… oh, fucking Merlin.
There was a hideous set of scars down the left side of her face along with an eye that was now milky.
“Not too pretty, is it? I have some make-up to help later, when they let me leave. Don’t worry too much.”
“Professor!”, and Aubrey ran over to hug the older woman who looked like she had aged a decade in a single night.
“It is fine, Aubrey. And out of the class room you know you can just call me Cass or Cassie, given I have known you since you were a baby. But? Our doctor is good; saved what was able to be saved. I knew this would happen at some point; comes with opposing the Dark. May be doing some extra practice to get back into good form though; see about getting a fun fake eye like Moody had.”, she said in a happy tone.
“Ma’am… what happened. You… you said you have been teaching for like over a half century. What hurt you? Could? How?”, and were instantly glad you had stopped Aubrey from running off. “And… can I see your left hand.”
