Hospital Beds

[pur_et_seul]

~ With frustratingly little word of Stewart for days, when the weekend comes Regulus decides to take matters into his own hands. He gets some floo powder from a storeroom and waits until the common room is empty for a few minutes, tosses the powder into the large fireplace and says clearly 'St. Mungo's Hospital'. A dizzying trip through the

*looks up from Stewart's bed, puzzled but polite* No, no, it's alright.

[pur_et_seul]

How is he?

[mama_macdonald]

He's...hanging in there. *rests her hand on his* I'm sorry I don't believe we've met. I'm Evelyn MacDonald. Stewart's mother.

[pur_et_seul]

*raises his eyebrows, suddenly very nervous* Oh. Pleasure to meet you, m'am. I'm Regulus Black.

[mama_macdonald]

Regulus Black. *smiles* It's nice to meet you. Are you one of Stewart's students?

[pur_et_seul]

Ah, yes. How could you tell?

[mama_macdonald]

Well. The uniform's a tip-off.

[pur_et_seul]

Oh. Hah, right, I can see where you would get that.

[mama_macdonald]

*smiles fondly* Well I'm glad that you came to see him. *smile falters a bit* Stewart does love teaching.

[pur_et_seul]

He's brilliant at it. We're all really missing him back at Hogwarts. I wanted to see how he was doing. They're not really telling us much.

[mama_macdonald]

That's admirable of you, Regulus. The Healers do say that he's showing signs of improvement.

[pur_et_seul]

Really? That's wonderful. Is he resting a lot?

[mama_macdonald]

Yes, which is good. He just needs a bit of time to regain his strength. I don't exactly know all the details of what happened, all I know is that he was poisoned.

[pur_et_seul]

It was terrible. Do you mind if I come in? I won't be long, I don't want to interrupt.

[mama_macdonald]

No, no, go ahead.

[pur_et_seul]

Thank you. *comes in and closes the door, walking to take a seat around the other side of Stewart's bed*
