Who: Susan Bones, Ernie Macmillan, miscellaneous hospital staff
What: Happy birthday, Ernie!
Where: St Mungo's break room
When: Late afternoon, May 10, 2000
Status: In progress
Susan quickly set a tray of cupcakes, sloppily frosted and nearly drowned in colorful sprinkles, down on the table, adjusting it once or twice to make sure it was perfectly centered. "Okay, you guys." She said, addressing the few Healers and Trainees trying to enjoy a peaceful break before returning to work. "The second he comes in, we'll count off from three... then start singing." A few gave her a grudging nod over their magazine crosswords and snacks but by then Susan was busy peering through a crack in the door. She'd told him to meet her here, but everyone got held up from time to time. Patients didn't necessarily book their illnesses around the break schedule.
One of the Trainees, a fellow named Nolan who'd asked her for some 'private study-time' once (Susan had not been amused... though she'd still blushed bright scarlet) had his fingers inching toward the tray, sly as a fox. She'd expected something of this sort and gave his fingers a quick whack with her wand. "Not until Ernie comes in." She scolded. "Merlin, he'll be here any second, it isn't like they're going anywhere..." She adjusted her lime green robes in what she hoped was a dignified manner and returned her attention to the doorframe, awaiting the birthday boy's arrival.
