I had a couple of hospital wing scenes in my notes for Destined by Fate, and they were some of the easiest ones to write before I ended up quitting that story. Over the years, I slowly added a couple more full scenes, and added some notes on other times that I wanted to include. They jump around in time, but I hope you enjoy them anyway.


Madam Pomfrey had been the school nurse at Hogwarts for nearly 50 years. During her career, she had never lost a student die under her care. Some had lost their magic, a few had been permanently disabled, and one poor boy had never awoken from his coma, but no one had died on her watch, and it seemed that was be the case today.

"I've done all that I can. The bones should mend by late tomorrow, the cuts will close in the next two days though they will leave some scars. It will be several days before we know if the damage to the nerves is permanent, and from what I am able to detect, he has retained his magic, but will need to wait for it to replenish naturally. All we can do for now is just wait for him to awaken." She gently rested her hand on the young witches shoulder and walked back to her office to put away her supplies.

Sitting in a chair next to the only occupied bed, was a young witch with long curly hair and dark brown eyes. She was holding the hand of the young man, quietly talking to him while occasionally brushing away the tears sliding down her cheeks.

"Please, you have to wake up. I won't let you leave me like this. I'm not going to let go until you open your eyes."

Looking out through the door to her office, Madam Pomfrey sighed wistfully at the scene. It was one that she had grown accustomed to over the years, though it meant that the pair had been through more pain and suffering then anyone deserved.
