"Miss McDonald!" Madam Pomfrey calls, catching her attention, "I know I had you start putting together more potions, but I need your help out here! There was apparently a fight and Mr. Black needs your assistance."
Mary put down the ingredient she was just about to measure out for the potion and walks out to the main area of the Hospital Wing. She automatically walks over to the bed with the first Black she sees, which happens to be Regulus but Pomfrey was already there, wrapping his hand in tape.
"The other Black; I will take care of Mr. Mulciber and his friends. You take care of the others." Madam Pomfrey points over to the other side of the Wing to Sirius.
With a sigh, Mary starts toward the bed that sat a (now grinning) Sirius and for the first time looked around to see who all else had come in. Professor McGonagall was standing over James trying to Mary's best guess understand what had happened, Lily was with her and was glaring at her boyfriend. Charlotte and Marcus were also sitting on a bed. On the other side Madam Pomfrey was taking care of Regulus, Bellatrix, Erik, and Avery. Erik was staring at Mary as she stopped next to Sirius.
"What will I ever do with you, Siri?" She asks as she inspects his bleeding head, "What happened anyway?"
"We got into a duel that ended up as a muggle fight." Sirius answers after a while and doesn't expand on it. He flinches away from her hand when she pours a potion over his head wounds.
"Fine, don't tell me. I will ask Lily tonight."
"I told you! We got into a fight!"
"I can tell that much, Black." She replies calmly and dips a towel in water and takes his hand to temporarily wrap it. "I was hoping you would say why you got into a fight."
"Oh… Uhm… Ouch!" He pulls his hand away from Mary
"Wimp." she states factually pulling his hand back to her, so that she could finish healing his hand.
Sirius frowns at her lack of empathy and was about to answer her question when she walks over to heal Charlotte and Marcus who only had been hit by a few hexes. Mary then releases them and walks over to James's bed with a bucket of cold water that she then preceded to pour on his head.
"Oi!" James yells out as the water hit his head. He stares at her in disbelief and she makes him sit back down – her face expressionless. "Was that really necessary?"
"Do you doubt my abilities?" She raises an eyebrow at him then turned to Professor McGonagall and Lily. "I'm sorry if you got wet in the process of that. I needed to see if he was still in his right mind."
"She is upset 'cause I wouldn't answer her." Sirius says as he comes to a stop behind Mary.
"I did not tell you that you could move, Black. Go back to your dog bed." She growls at him and forcefully pulls James's hand closer to her to wrap it.
Sirius merely rolls his eyes and answers her original question. "They were talking shit against you, McDonald."
"So? Last time I looked talking about people was not against school rules, dueling and fighting however was. Am I right Professor?"
"She has a point Mr. Black. However I did get the full story from Mr. Potter here and will not be giving any punishment. Have a good afternoon."
Mary watching McGonagall leave before turning around to face Sirius, who was standing fairly close to her that she had to push him at arm length.
"They were talking about how you were a slut and were using the Imperius curse on your boyfriends, including Lockhart last year. They were talking about how you are an attention seeker and a suck up as you work closely with Professor Sprout and Madam Pomfrey. They were calling you insane and were debating whether or not to inform St. Mungo's to lock you up." Sirius says, not breaking eye contacted with Mary. "I couldn't just sit there and let them talk lies about you."
"They can talk about whoever they want. I'm not afraid of them, Black. Don't do this again no matter what they say or do against me." She states darkly before turning back to James to finish healing him. "You all can go. I have a potion to finish."
