Chapter 10: 20 Hour Shifts and Loving Boyfriends
Jersey woke up early the next day in the arms of Harry, she couldn't help the huge smile that spread across her face. She sat there watching Harry sleep for a while, he looked so angelic and peaceful. "You've been staring at me for half an hour. Is there something you want?" Harry asked, opening one eye.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to get caught." Jersey placed a kiss on Harry's cheek and placed a hand across his chest.
"It's ok, I'll admit I do it too sometimes. You better get ready, you have to work today, as do I." Harry sat up and made his way to his room. Jersey went into the bathroom and took a quick shower, she also had one heck of a headache. When she finished she walked over to her closet and pulled on her Medi-witch uniform.
"Here, you probably need this." Harry handed her a hang over potion when she came out of her room.
"Thanks, you look very nice." Jersey took the potion and then followed Harry down to the dining room.
"Good morning Harry, Jersey. Are you both ready for work?" Lucius asked, kissing Jersey on the cheek.
"Yes, where's Blaise and Draco?" Jersey asked, sitting down by Harry and across from Marcus.
"Still sleeping I guess. You don't mind waking them before you leave, do you?" Severus asked sitting down.
"No, Blaise is working with me anyway so he needs to wake up soon though. Well, it's 5:30, I'll go wake them up. I'll be back at two tomorrow morning." Jersey took a few pieces of toast and left the table. She arrived at Draco's room first. After knocking for a good five minutes she walked right in. Unfortunately, she had no clue what was on the other side. Blaise and Draco were lying in bed together, they were obviously both naked, since Blaise had nothing covering him and thepile of clothing that laid next to the bed.
"Draco, Blaise it's time to get up. I'm not going to touch you, cause Merlin knows what you two were doing." Jersey casted a Sonorus spell on her voice.
"Huh? Jers, what do you want?" Blaise asked, not moving from his spot.
"You might want to cover up your unmentionables, and get ready for work. I have toast for your breakfast." Jersey placed the toast on the bedside table, noticing the lotion. "Oh my- I don't want to know! Blaise do not open your mouth." Jersey then went into the bathroom flipping the shower on for Blaise, then went into his room to fetch him a pair of boxers and his robe.
"Blaise, you have twenty minutes to get dressed, hurry up!OhMerlin,Draconis get out of that ruddy shower!" Jersey yelled, 'If it was anyone else in there beside Draco this would be fucking hot.' Jersey thought to herself.
"Fine, spoil my fun, but I know what you're thinking. If you would stop thinking of me as your brother and more as your half brother since Snape had nothing to do with my procreation, you'd be thinking differently." Draco explained, wrapping a towel around his waist.
"It's still gross, your still partly related to me. It's gross!" Jersey yelled back, while Blaise got dressed.
"We must be off." Blaise pulled Jersey out of the room, preventing a major brawl.

Jersey and Blaise arrived at St. Mungos ten minutes early and made their way to the head Healers office. "Mr. Zimmerman, it's nice to see you again." Jersey held out her hand. Mathew Zimmerman kissed it and stood up.
"It's good to see you also. Mr. Zabini, it's good to see you again as well. I've heard from Lucius, Severus, Poppy, and Albus that you are both fully trained and all you needed was 160 hours of on the job training. I'm going to let both of you work on your own, I believe that ten hours of each position should be enough. Oh, and it's amazing the information you'll find in our nursery section." Mathew said, looking at Jersey. "Well off you go." Mr. Zimmerman then walked over to the escalator.
"Where to start?" Blaise asked laughing.
"How about nursing first? That way by four in the evening there won't be so many patients." Jersey put a stethoscope around her neck and went up to the fourth floor, spell damage. She walked up to the desk, picked up a clipboard, and went into room 15. "Hello, my name is Jersey Snape, I'll be your nurse for today. May I ask what happened before the incident?" Jersey asked, taking the two teenage boys vitals.
"Well, we were over at the Hogshead and Ryan here told me he slept with me sister. So, I tried to stun him and some how we ended up like this." A boy with sandy blonde hair and light blue eyes explained.
"It says here you're on vacation from Ireland, do your parents know you're here in the hospital? I also need to know the curse Ryan used." Jersey took both their wands, performing a reversal spell on them with her own.
"Aye, our parents know we're here. You look a little young to be a nurse. I swear I've seen you before. Ever been to Ireland? Dublin actually?" Ryan asked, he had dyed blue, spike-y hair and hazel eyes.
"Well, Connor the Tallagenerous spell is not a stunning spell, and the Stupefy curse Ryan threw at you mixed with your spell hitting you both, that's why your feet are stuck together and you can't move the tops of your body. To answer your question, I have been to Dublin, my family owns a few houses there, and if you think hard enough you probably know where you've seen me before. Anything else before I get the doctor?" Jersey asked, placing the clipboard under her arm.
"Yeah, when we get unstuck will you go on a date me with?" Connor asked, trying his best to look gorgeous.
"I date patients, and I have a boyfriend."
"Bet he's not as good looking as me." Connor smiled, while Ryan laughed besides him.
"Bet ya 200 Galleons he is, and another 200 that I know who she is." Ryan said laughing. Jersey stared wide eyed for a second, intrigued.
"Fine your on. So, whose your boyfriend?" Conner asked, turning towards her.
"Shouldn't you ask him whom my parents are first? You do have 400 Galleons before you do right?" Jersey asked, feeling a little guilty.
"Of course I do. Don't you know who I am? I am the richest wizard in the whole of the wizarding world. I beat out the Malfoy's and Potter's." Ryan couldn't contain his laughter. "Alright then, who are Jersey's parents Ry?"
"Lucius Malfoy and Severus Snape. I remember Draco had an interview with one ofthe localpapers the other day, and he mentioned his sister, plus there was a picture of the both of them. Dude, you just embarrassed yourself in front of a Malfoy you git. Oh, but wait it gets better, go on ask her how." Ryan was crying because he was laughing so hard.
"Fine, I will! Why does it get worse?" Connor asked, his face tinted pink.
"My boyfriend is Harry Potter. I believe you owe him 400 Galleons, I'll go get the doctor." Jersey walked out of the room.

Ten hours later Jersey and Blaise met back up at the circular desk. "Interesting day so far?" Jersey asked, changing into a Healers robe.
"Three marriage proposals, seventeen offers for dates, and I wasregurgitated on. What about you?" Blaise looked up at the board, it was his turn to pick what floor they would be working on.
"Two peoplemade a bet witheach other on who I was and who I am dating. Three people asked me on dates, and twenty-three people complained that my father belonged in Akaban, and that I was going to end up killing Harry by the end of the war, by selling him to Voldemort. I swear I'm going to wear a shirt that reads 'does it look like I care?' under these robes. So what floor?" Jersey asked, hitting the elevator button.
"First, creature induced injuries. I heard there are two people there you might be willing to see." Blaise hugged Jersey, who looked on the edge of falling sleep. "Think 10 more hours and then you get a break for an hour."
"Yeah, I know. Well, see you again in 10 hours. If I don't die in the mean time." Jersey took the clipboard from Blaise.
"Miss Snape, erm Jersey? I didn't know you were a Healer." Bill Weasley said from the hospital bed.
"Oh Merlin. It's so good to see you. Charlie? Wow, I haven't seen you two for well, two years. How are you?Any nausea, dizziness?" Jersey asked, looking at the burns on both boys arms.
"Nope, just the burns. I got mine from the Hungarian Horntail they just transferred to the Dragon field in Hogsmeade, and Charlie got his from a Common Welsh Green guarding one of the vaults at Gringotts."
"That's an easy fix. I'll do Charlie first since his isn't as bad." Jersey waved her wand and a bunch of ointments, bandages, and a bowl of water and a sponge appeared.
"So, how's Harry? I heard he's staying at the manor. When's your break?" Bill and Charlie asked.
"Well, Harry's not here so I'd say he's going well and I have an hour lunch at 11 tonight. So, actually I havedinner. I'm here for the next week working twenty hours and then Monday working ten. Harry's working over at Gringotts if you want to go say hi." Jersey said, moving over to work on Bill. "You know the drill, no getting the bandages wet. Change it twice daily, and take these." Jersey handed Charlie a bottle of inflammatory medicine.
"Thanks, we will." Bill said, watching her bandage his arm.
"Twenty hours, Jers you'll kill yourself!" Charlie yelled.
"Then I'll kill myself as a fully certified healer and nurse. Your discharged and please be careful." Jersey left the room.
"Healer Snape, we have an ambulance on the way. Three teenage boys were playing around with some sort of potion. It blew up rendering them unconscious, the potion fell on their bodies. Theparents say it burns and their skin is blistering terribly. I informed Healer Zimmerman first, but he sent me to you. He said something about your dad being such a great potions master, that he probably taught you everything he knows and then some." Medi-witch Suzanne said, running towards her.
"Ok, I'll go to the emergency entrance. When Healer Zabini is done with his patient, send him to me, asquickly as possible." Jersey ran down the hall towards the escalators, this was her chance to prove she could do this job.
"Jers, they informed us they got tied up in an accident with some old witch in a muggle car. They are air lifting them over along with the old lady. Healer Brims' got the woman. We're to stay here until they arrive, they don't want us to run outside and get hurt by the plane." Blaise said, moments later.
"And here I thought the night shift would be calmer." Jersey joked. After fifteen minutes, the helicopter landed and both Jersey and Blaise rushed out.
"No one at the scene knew what potion they had brewed. Their vitals are stable. Their parents are on the way." The Medi-witch said before leaving. Once they got the three patients inside, they took them to room one.
"Oh Merlin! It's Cedric, Dean, and Tracey! Blaise, when dad finds out, he'll flip!" Jersey said, shocked. "Enneverate." Jersey and Blaise waived their wands over the three boys.
"Oh Merlin! It hurts, please help, someone!" Cedric yelled out, his eyes shut in pain.
"Take this you three." Blaise handed each boy a pain numbing potion.
"Thanks wow, you two are Healers?" Dean asked shocked.
"No, we're here in St. Mungos to kill you." Jersey said, rolling her eyes. "Now what potion did you brew. I should re-word that. Which potions were you brewing? It looks like you mixed three different potions into one cauldron without knowing it. Who made the living death potion?" Jersey asked eyeing them.
"We all did. That's what we were working on." Cedric answered.
"No, we were working on the Polyjuice Potion." Tracy spoke up, his blistered face turning redder at the sight of Jersey.
"No! We agreed on the Doxycide potion!" Dean yelled.
"All of you hush. You obviously didn't listen to each other. Now, you need to take these potions, one of them is an antidote to the Doxycide, one is anti-swelling solution so those blisters don't get bigger, and the other one is a potion you'll have to take along with a pain one twice daily, it will conceal those blisters. It will hurt to sit and lie down for a week or until those are completely gone. Unfortunately for you three there is no way to fully cure them because of the sleeping draught and Polyjuice combination. I'm going to warn you this one time. When working on a potion with more then yourself, make sure you are all on the same potion, even if that includes checking each others books! You'll have to stay here overnight. I'll check on you in 3 hours when I go on my break." Jersey left the room.
"Hey Blaise, what's up with her?" Tracy asked, downing another potion.
"She's upset that if Sev finds out what you three did he'll toast you. You all knew better then to do advanced potions outside of school. Plus, we've been here for about 10 hours already, actually 14, so we still have another 6 hours, and we are dead tired. Well Medi-Witch Barlet here will take you to your rooms, your parents are waiting." Blaise then left also

At 11 o'clock, Jersey went upstairs and dropped her stuff off in Mr. Zimmermans office before going on break. She stopped to see how the three guys were doing and ran into Blaise. "Where are you going?" Blaise asked, standing in the corridor.
"To the second floor. There's a little boy I worked on on the fourth floor there. He has Scrofungulus in the blood. It's sort of like muggle cancer. He has to stay over night, and I told him I'd check on him as much as I could so he wouldn't be alone or afraid. He's in 205 if you want to meet him while he's here. I'll see you in an hour." Jersey picked up the present she bought him and went to his room.
"Hey Will how ya doing?" Jersey asked, entering the room.
"I'm good, why can't I go home? I don't feel sick." Will asked, he was about five years old, with red hair and green eyes.
"I promise to tell you when your mum and dad come back okay? I got you something." Jersey said smiling.
"What?" Will asked excitedly.
"Open it silly." Jersey said, handing it to him.
"Oh wow! How did you know I was a Pride of Portree fan? How did you have time to get them to sign the Quaffle?" Will asked, reading the signatures.
"I Floo called Meaghan McCormack in between patients and told her a special friend of mine was in the hospital and was a huge fan. I knew you were a fan by your watch." Jersey smiled at him.
"Jersey, are you in there? Is it okay to come in?" Harry asked through the door.
"Whose that?" Will asked, while Jersey got out of her seat.
"No clue, all my friends 'cept Blaise are sleeping. Do you have any friends up at this time?" Jersey gave him a quizzical look.
"Nope, we have bed times. Shh, I'm breaking mine." Will smiled, like he was proud he got away with it. Jersey opened the door and Harry walked in.
"Hey, I heard the food here sucked so I'd havethe house-elves pack a picnic basket. Blaise said you were visiting a patient, is it okay that I'm here?" Harry asked, setting the basket down.
"Yeah, just to let you know he's terminally ill, but we haven't told him yet cause his parents went home. I can't believe they'd leave a scared5 year old boy on his own." Jersey whispered.
"Are you really Harry Potter?" Will asked, his eyes getting wider.
"Yes I am. Are you really Will?" Harry asked, jokingly.
"Of course I am. I can't believe Jersey got you to come! I've wanted to meet you my whole entire life!" Will said exasperatedly.
"Well then, how about we have dinner together? I brought food for all of us. We can talk and everything until Jersey and I have to go. What's that?" Harry asked, pointing at the Quaffle. Jersey split the food between the three of them.
"It's a Quaffle signed by Pride of Portree, their my most favoritist Quidditch team. Jersey got it for me. So, how do you know Healer Snape? Were you sick and meet her here?" Will asked, eating a piece of cantaloupe.
"Nope, we go to the same school. She told me I was a dudder head one day in Potions when I got into a fight with her brother. When I realized she was right, I went and asked her for help, and since then we've been friends. She's my girlfriend now."
"So what did you and Draco do today anyway?" Jersey asked, chancing the subject.
"Worked and he's trying to teach me French. He taught me a poem today. That's pretty much it."
"I wanna hear the poem. I bet it's pretty." Will said, sitting upon the bed.
"Okay. L'ami march sur le sable sans plus de bruit que la rasee pourtant je reconnais son pas, Je devine son visage. Bientot il va franchir le seuil, souraint, me tendre le livre qu'hier chez lui J'ai oublie dans l'espoir qu'il me le rapporte."
"What does it mean in English?" Will asked, trying to memorize the poem.
"The friend march on sand without more noise than the dew however I recognize his step, I guess his face. Soon it will cross the threshold, smiling, will tighten the book to me that yesterday at his place I have forget in the hope thathe brings it back to me." Jersey translated. "It's getting very late. It's time for you to get to sleep. Goodnight Will." Jersey said, getting up and picking up the basket.
"Good night Healer Snape and Harry."
"Goodnight Will." Harry said, turning out the light and closing the door.
"I have one more place to stop it will only take a minute. Is it okay?" Jersey asked, kissing Harry. "Thank you for sitting in there with him, you made his day."
"It's no problem, and I enjoyed hanging out with him. Come on, let's go to the next place." Harry took Jersey's hand. They went to the fourth floor intoMr. Milimious' room. The poor old manyhad an un-liftable jinx on him.
"Mr. Milinious, the answer to that Shakespeare question is Macbeth says, "I will be satisfied. Deny me this, and an enternal curse fall on you! Let me know. Why sinks that cauldron? And what noise is this?" Now you have the whole thing memorized. Goodnight." Jersey then left with Harry to the fifth floor.
"Well, I have to get back to work. I guess I'll see you at home." Jersey picked up her name tag and stethoscope.
"I think I'll go see the other children. I'll wait for you to get off." Harry smiled and kissed her.
"Check out floor three rooms 10, 11, and 12. However, you didn't hear that from me."

A/N: I thought I would bring a little hospital fun to this story. I put in the child with muggle cancer because of course hosptials have a lot of them, but last year my aunt pat died of cancers (Brain, kidney, liver, lung, etc.), and about a week after my aunt was termed critical my mom's friend was diagonised with Breast Cancer (she ended up recovering and she's living a very happy nice life as a nurse at UCLA, she was a nurse of Marlon Brando's.) her son talked to his college and other breast cancer events about it, and then this year my mom's other friend was diagonised with Skin Cancer and we don't think he'll make it because it's in his blood stream and he keeps having strokes with it, he's currently in the ICU Burn unit. So that was my laughing in the face of cancer bit, I don't know how explain it any better than that.On with the reviews.
SarahAmanda: Thanks for reviewing.
