Who: Hugo, Helena, and Ron Where: Residence #26 When: Backdated to Monday afternoon What: Hugo has a broken nose and needs attention of the medical and fatherly kind. Rating: PG, maybe more for swearing
“Bugger,” Hugo muttered to himself. He closed his journal, then his eyes, and drew in a deep breath through his mouth. After murmuring an incantation, the bloodied handkerchief underneath his nose was swapped for a fresh cloth. The soaked rag, like most things that belonged to Hugo, ended up on the floor somewhere, to be picked up at some other time. The Weasley wasn’t known for his cleanliness.
Apparently the only thing he was known for was getting into fights with the wrong sorts. No one had bothered to ask if it was anything else that caused his broken nose. Even if they were right, Hugo couldn’t help but feel wronged.
He didn’t know whether he should let his nose bleed out with his head tilted down or up, but it was more comfortable to lay down on the sofa. He had been there for a while and was afraid what a sudden rush of blood to the head would do if he tried to sit up. He didn’t want to find out. Knowing that it was either his dad or the healer that had volunteered to come over, Hugo couldn’t be arsed to get up when he heard someone knock at the door. “Come in,” he called over, hoping he was loud enough to be heard.
