"I haven't heard you play violin in ages, I think I'd like to hear your song." He stated that plainly. Her artistic mind didn't make much sense to him. He imagined it was kind of crazy in there with all her ideas and such. If her brain was a bedroom, there would be clothes strewn all over the floor and paint spilling everywhere. His brain would contain a room of neatly colored coded folders, all in rows of file cabinets.

Augustus tried his best not to concentrate on his hands that were at her hips, or the fact that she was nearly straddling him because he pulled her so close. She smelled like vanilla... and paint which was a much more pleasant combination than you would suspect.

At the moment he was worried about the huge bump he was looking at. Honestly, how did she not notice this was there? Leave it to Eloise. "A rhabidosa rabida is a wolf spider. They are decently common around here. Usually their bites aren't this big, but I think you might be having an allergic reaction. That's probably why it's so red too. I'm going to apparate to St. Mungo's and get you some balm for it. I'll be right back. Don't look at it okay? Just breathe."

Although Augustus wasn't exactly a people person, he was pretty good at staying calm. Without another word he apparated to St. Mungo's (he had more apparating privileges because he was Head Healer) and grabbed the necessary items to help out Eloise. He apparated back to WWN quickly and resumed his seat on the chair, setting down the items next to him.

Again, he grabbed Eloise's hips and pulled her closer to him. Taking out his wand he pointed it the bump and said a spell. It immediately became flatter, but it was still red. He then set down his wand and got out some balm. It was cold, so he rubbed it between his palms before applying it to Eloise's side. He rubbed it on her waist, ignoring his sudden urge to graze his hands on the rest of her flat stomach. When he was done, he took a bandage and placed it on top of the bite. "That should be good, but if it starts acting up again, I want you to come and see me right away."
