#15 - Silliness and Stinging

'Not necessarily a potion, no,' Madam Pomfrey answered. 'Its an essence of several carefully selected ingredients with curative properties.' She didn't elaborate, as it was rather beyond their education level and she was too focused on treating them to give a more detailed lesson. It wasn't something that had access to for their own first aide.

'I do keep this on hand, yes,' she added with a patient look. Ravenclaws were usually the chattiest patients. 'As for Ginger -- what does this look like, the Kitchens? Keep soaking those hands.'

'Gloves, next time,' she said sternly as an added reminder, to make sure it really stuck. Especially considering they were first years, and it was sheer luck that they had the common sense to immediately seek medical attention -- yet apparently hadn't had enough to avoid the Nettles bare-handed in the first place.

At least she'd since ensured the gentler method was readily available after some Nettles mishaps earlier in the year. Common sense did not live up to its name when it came to students and their various adventures.

'You're both free to go.' Pomfrey gestured to the open doorway.
