--t is this?
[ The NV apparently is recording, though only Ella's sleepy voice at the moment. ] Ow my head. [ Silence follows for a few minutes. ]
This isn't... Hello? ... Mandy? [ There's no way someone can fake the confusion in this voice. ] Benny? Slannen

I meant where in your head. The front or the back? [Pauses.] I'm checking your pupils to see how they react to stimulation. Now please hold your head still.
[He raised his finger.] Follow my finger with just your eyes.

[ Holding her head still like a good girl, though she smiles because she knows it's because he asked her and not because of that stupid stupid curse. ] It was pretty bad this morning, and now it's really not - like I said, it comes and goes.
[ Also watching said finger. At least her eyes are perfectly clear and focused, so she won't have any difficulty with this task. ]

You really don't remember anything? I'm not seeing any large bumps or bruises, but I don't see how someone could not remember...weeks of information.
[He starts pressing spots on her head gently with his fingers.] Tell me if it hurts anywhere.

[ Well - she did, but she promised Harry she wouldn't say anything until they could get it sorted out. And if the doctor could at least minimize the raging headaches she kept getting, so much the better. ]
No. . . No... n- [ Okay there. It was like the feel of someone squeezing her head during an already pounding headache, and she flinched back slightly in spite of herself. ]

Okay. I'm going to give you some painkillers. You can take one ever six hours, and it should help with the headache. Otherwise, just rest, and... I don't know. I'd like to have you come in for an CT scan. But if things don't get better after a day, definitely come into the hospital for a check up. Please.

You take a picture... of the inside of my head. For twenty minutes.
[ Y'know, she was never really comfortable with modern medicine. This isn't helping, Kenzo :D ]
I...think I'll pass.

I remember my home. That's enough for me. And if you're going to insist on it ... [ Pause - here's as good a chance as any to test if Harry's spell really did work. Who knew when it would wear off. ] I'm going to have to respectfully exercise my right to refuse.

[He nods slightly.] All right. But I work at SP General every day. All you have to do is come in and ask for me, and I'll set up some tests right away.
[He gave her a small smile.] But for now, take the painkillers every six hours, and get some rest. That'll probably help you out the most.

All right. Every six hours. [ Resting should not be a problem. Ella was going to be avoiding the Capri for the next two weeks at least, so that would be plenty of rest she was getting. ] If it helps, it'll be worth it.

I hope you regain your memories, Ella. I really do.
