Saturday Afternoon

[http://users.livejournal.com/___lily_evans_/]

Lily is in the clinic, studying her copy of The Standard Book of Spells, Grade 7, in an attempt to both keep up her magic skills and avoid doodling things like "Lily Malfoy" or "Mrs. Draco Malfoy."



[ooc: Lily is gone, feel free to start a new post for the evening.]

[She walks in]

I need to see someone about nose bleeds?

[http://users.livejournal.com/___lily_evans_/]

Setting her book aside, Lily answers, "I can help you. What seems to be the problem?"

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

I, uh, was exposed to something, and now whenever I think about it, my nose starts bleeding. It's happened 4 times in less than 24 hours.

[http://users.livejournal.com/___lily_evans_/]

Lily frowns. "Do you know what substance you were exposed to? And just thinking about it causes the nosebleed. Interesting."

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

The Doctor told me it was the Heart of the TARDIS. I'm not really sure what it is. It was a vast void...[her nose begins to bleed again]...dammit.

[She grabs a tissue off the counter and presses it to her nose]

See?

[http://users.livejournal.com/___lily_evans_/]

"Yes, I see." Lily hands her the whole box of tissues while she takes out two cotton balls and a bottle of ointment. "Are you looking for... normal treatment, or are you open to magical treatment as well?"

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

I really don't care...just make it stop. If one doesn't work, try something else.

[http://users.livejournal.com/___lily_evans_/]

"Alright." She applies the ointment to the cotton balls. "Very carefully I'll need you to pull the tissue away and this cotton will go in your nostrils. It's neo-synephrine, which should help stop the bleeding and soothe the damaged tissue."

Lisa walks in, looking tired. "Oh, hey Lily. How are you?"

[http://users.livejournal.com/___lily_evans_/]

"Lisa! Good to see you - I'm doing fine, but how are you?" Lily is concerned that Lisa looks so tired.

[lisacuddy.livejournal.com]

"Oh, I'm fine. I tend to channel my teen angst into an occasional bout of insomnia, hence the whole looking like I got hit by a truck thing. But thanks for asking... how's your shift going?"

[http://users.livejournal.com/___lily_evans_/]

"Going well so far. Professor Cregg came in for a series of nosebleeds, but otherwise quiet." Lily remembers her conversation with Angel and decides now is her chance. "Teen angst? Anything in particular?"

[lisacuddy.livejournal.com]

"Just your average mortifying thoughts. With an additional twist of an imminent threat of death or dismemberment. Typical Fandom High stuff, I guess." Lisa looks a little uncomfortable, but realizes there is no one else in the clinic to distract from the conversation right now with Professor Cregg caring for Jack. She gives Lily a weak smile.

[http://users.livejournal.com/___lily_evans_/]

Lily is definitely uncomfortable trying to pry information from someone she doesn't really know that well. "Yes, well, that sounds about right for this place." She swallows hard. "We haven't had a chance to talk since before Homecoming. Did you go? With anyone... special?" She tries not to cringe at her own tackiness.

[lisacuddy.livejournal.com]

Lisa sighs before regaining her composure. "I went with a friend, Angelus, do you know him?"

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

[She sits beside Jack. She's still holding her face the way Lily told her. It can't hurt, she figures. She reaches out and holds Jack's hand. She can't tell if he's sleeping, drugged, or unconcious]

[http://users.livejournal.com/___lily_evans_/]

Lily knocks softly and opens the door to peek in. "Excuse me, Professor Cregg? There's a man named Ten in the lobby asking about you. Should I show him in?"

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Oh, no...I'll come out. Let's let Jack get some sleep. [she brushes his hair gently off his forehead and follows Lily back to the lobby]

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

[The Doctor rushes in. He looks harried.] Is Professor Cregg here?

[http://users.livejournal.com/___lily_evans_/]

Lily looks up from talking to Lisa. "She is. Is something wrong?"

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

[calms down] Oh...she just left me a note, letting me know where she went...could I see her?

[http://users.livejournal.com/___lily_evans_/]

"I can ask her if she's up to having a visitor. Who may I tell her is inquiring?"

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

[He nods. Protocol. He can handle that.] Tell her...the Do--Ten's here.

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

[She walks out from the hallway] Hello, lov-er-um-Ten.

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

[He looks at her, very concerned, as he walks over to take her hand.] How are you, CJ?
