Adrian had woken that morning with a swollen right ankle. He hadn't thought much about the spill he'd taken four days earlier at the pick up quidditch game, but apparently he'd done more damage than his slight limp would have warned. Lying in bed that morning he was tempted to charm it himself, but if his attempts at charms while fixing his apartment up was any indication, he'd probably end up with one less right foot and that wouldn't be so easy to fix as a twisted ankle or even a break ( ... )

Lyda tapped lightly on the doorframe to get Ginny's attention and the redhead put the book down immediately, standing to stretch like a cat before crossing the floor to whisper, "What's up, Lyda?"

"There's a young man down in the lobby," The receptionist said softly, glancing past Ginny with an air of nervousness. Not everyone was as comfortable in the ward as Ginny was.

Ginny guided the older woman out of the doorway and closed the ward behind her, following her down the stairs with a barely suppressed yawn. Pushing the lobby doors open, she adjusted her robes as she crossed the floor to where their latest patient sat, his gaze fixed firmly on his feet. His riot of silky black curls framed the sides of his face, obscuring his identity from the Healer.

"Hello, I'm Healer Weasley. What can I help you with today?" Ginny had been clipping a new patient parchment to her board for notes as she gave her opening talk, looking up only after she'd stopped speaking.

Adrian looked up to see a gorgeous redhead in healer robes. Upon hearing her name he had to roll his eyes, "Weasley, eh? You've grown up." Adrian stood, much taller than the petite witch in front of him, but he faltered a bit on the sore ankle. Sitting back down, "Adrian Pucey, we used to play against eachother at school. Seems I've lost some of the quidditch touch. I took a spill at the pick up game on saturday, didn't think much of it but this morning I woke and my ankle was swollen and painful. I figured it best to get it checked out." He lifted his pants ankle just a bit to show the healer the bruises and the size of his ankle. Looking back up at her he shrugged.

Dye job. Tomorrow.

'Right after I change my name.'

For once, we agree.

Ginny bit back an exasperated sigh as she tucked her quill under the clipboard clip, swinging her hands behind her back to clasp her wrist as she rocked on her heels. Keeping her tone even, she answered. "That's right. Healer Weasley, Mr. Pucey."

Her gaze softened as she took in the puppy-dog eyes he was giving her as he held his pants leg up with a shrug. Setting the clipboard on the chair beside him, Ginny dropped to one knee as she pulled her wand from her robe pocket.

"How far did you fall, Mr. Pucey? You shouldn't have waited so long to come in... this has to hurt."

Laying a gentle hand on his calf, she glanced up at him, brown eyes full of concern and professionalism as she gently guided her wand close to his very swollen ankle. "Please tell me if I hurt you, Mr. Pucey."

When she touched his arm his first instinct was to take hold of her hand, but he restrained himself. It had been longer than he realized since anyone has something as simple as that to him. You are a real person. Sometimes he had forgotten that. Sometimes he had forgotten who he was - was the he the proud pureblood son of a wealthy family, like he'd been brought up? Or was he some weird beach bum like his parents seemed to embrace, practically leaving magic behind all together? He certainly didn't have a job to identify with or any real friends in this town besides Marcus. No one had even bothered to owl and tell him the war was over ( ... )

Ginny felt the warmth creep up her arm from where he held her hand with faint sense of the surreal. His hands enveloped hers in a soft, gentle grip and she caught her lip when he released it, smothering a sigh before it was born.

"How long have I been on the clock?" A confused look flickered across her face as she instinctively turned her head to find the clock on the wall. "What time is it now? Oh. Oh dear. Umm... I've been on the clock for... let's see... seven, yes, twenty eight hours."

Seeing the slightly horrified look on his face, she amended quickly. "Oh, I've catnapped here and there. No worries, I'm perfectly capable of doing my job."

Think you can sneak away?

"As I'm not technically even on the schedule today, sneaking away is kind of a moot point, Adrian, but you'll have to pick the place. I'm afraid my dining out options haven't been expansive past my own tent."

His playful tone was doing funny things to her stomach. Warm, nice things.

And your knees.His deep, soft laughter did warm things, too, but not to her ( ... )

He noticed Ginny catch her lip slightly and he couldn't help the small bit of squirming is stomach did. How had she only seemed to him to be just another player when they were in school? Sure, he knew her name, but that was about it. She'd been younger than him but that had never stopped him from preying on any of the other girls in her class. Not her house, sure, but still. His outwardly grimaced when she said she'd been working for 28 hours but when she mentioned that she was fine doing her job he shook his head, "Oh, I trust you there. I'm just not sure it's too good for you to be doing that ( ... )

Ginny caught the movement immediately, a frown playing across her forehead as she eased his hand away from his shoulder. "What happened, Adrian? I thought you only hurt your ankle."

A quick tug slipped his jacket off and her small hand slipped under the collar of his sweater to gently press against the tense muscles of his shoulder. The damage was old, she could tell from the build-up of scar tissue prominent under his skin. His very soft, very warm shoulder. His very soft, very warm, very muscular shoulder.

Oh dear.

Tapping back the flood of extremely inappropriate thoughts, Ginny tried to keep her voice level. "Does this hurt?"
