Poppy Pomfrey

October arrived, spreading a damp chill over the grounds and into the castle.

Madame Pomfrey, the matron, was kept busy by a sudden spate of colds among the staff and students.

I know there's going to be people in the comments going, I know what it is, screaming.

I don't.

Could I have sentence three, please?

October arrived, spreading a damp chill over the grounds and into the castle.

Madame Pomfrey, the matron, was kept busy by a sudden spate of colds among the staff and students.

Her pepper-up potion worked instantly, though it left the drinker smoking at the ears for several hours afterwards.

And for the most part, all the voices are pretty good.

Pomfrey is a standout problem.

I had to listen really hard for them to confirm she heard that Madame Pomfrey was a girl, because I was like, Madame Pomfrey does not sound womanly.

Nope.

And then when they jump voice actors, I have some nitpicks there, but otherwise it's pretty good.

immediately

right and this this scene is kind of hilarious because immediately they arrive they're making this is going to be dobby and creature at the same time harry immediately cast muffly auto on the door to madam pomfrey um but the two house elves were rolling around on the floor in the middle of the dormitory one wearing a shrunken maroon jumper and several woolly hats the other a filthy rag strung over his hips like a loincloth

Then

there was another loud bang and peeves.

But now they're all gathered here and Hermione's frozen in her chair.

Stotch had walked in from St. Mungo's with Madame Pomfrey, who was busy chattering away to Elena.

Slughorn uses Hermione's labs on occasion to brew the potions and already knows his way around.

He's never met Elena, however, and introductions commence.

Who should lead this? She looks at Elena, suddenly stuck.

Elena rises and withdraws the samples of the curse, setting them down.

Stotch snatches one for inspection and Pomfrey lifts another.

How did you do it? Elena gestures for Hermione to come closer and demonstrates, showing the other two healers how she siphoned some out.

Like maybe she needs more than a mug of hot chocolate, but whatever.

And he's like, oh, don't worry about Madame Pomfrey, by the way.

She'll be up because she's busy giving everyone mandrake juice.

Yuck, why do we have to call it mandrake juice? So he's like, yeah, she's working overtime.

well enough, and she breathes a sigh of relief.

On Tuesday, she'll see Elena, Stotch, Slughorn and Madame Pomfrey.

Maybe the group consensus will be that she can reduce her usage.

Even a little would help.

Given everything your bones do for you, that's really serious.

And while most of that loss is reversible once they're back on Earth, it's not as easy as chugging some of Madame Pomfrey's Skele-Gro potion.

Rehabilitation can take years of hard work, and that's after just a few months in orbit.

Which is why Kelly and Kornienko are heroes of science, and not just for scholars of anatomy and physiology everywhere, but for anybody who has bones.
