RP: Get Well Soon Date: November 15, 2000 Characters: Bastian, Lily and Harry Location: Harry's hospital Public/Private: Private Summary: Bastian and Lily fuss over Harry. Status: Incomplete
Bastian was getting used to Muggle hospitals but there was still some aspects of it were still a little strange. Wizards had it easy in some ways, he realized, because things like broken bones and cuts and bruises were healed almost instantly. The idea of someone being in a hospital for a prolonged time for an injury that the one Harry had was strange, as was the idea of physical therapy. If someone spent a lot of time in St Mungo's it was usually because they were beyond help. That Healer's place was a reminder of the dark side of magic... something that Bastian really didn't need to be reminded about constantly. His parents weren't in his life because of something like that.
He didn't like at all that Harry had to stay in this place for someone that could be easily fixed if Harry had been a Potter instead of an Evans. It wasn't that Bastian blamed Harry's parents, of course. He had told Harry he could understand how things had worked out for him. Bastian was more annoyed by the culture that had been created that made this situation possible.
The fact that Harry was in a Muggle hospital did mean that Bastian was introduced to some Muggle traditions. When someone had to stay in a hospital for a long time they would fill the room with items to encourage them to get better. Lily had been helping Bastian fully come to appreciate this idea since Harry had woken up.
He carried some of the new additions to Harry's collection of 'get well soon' decorations. They were as cheesy as possible, purposely designed to embarrass Harry as much as possible.
