There was more pain that there had been. Marlene had assured him that it was a good thing, because lack of pain meant that he would die. Pain meant that the body was fighting to recreate flesh and skin. There might even be potions to expedite the process, but it was too soon to take them, something about the body needing to do something. Scorpius was in too much pain to pay attention, but his Dad had assured him that now that he could take the potions, he would brew them.

Apparently, though, there was more than simply taking a potion. His entire body was covered in scars and if they only gave him a potion for the burns, he'd look like some terrible monsters from one of the Muggle films he had watched at Rose's house.

"Are you here to tell me what my options are?" he asked with a smile when he saw Marlene sit next to him. "And you look as bad as some of your patients. You need a good night's sleep."

Scorpius wasn't going to argue, although he wasn't sure that their goal worked. "Maybe if more people felt that they had something to lose, they would have joined and things wouldn't have dragged on for decades." He believed that a war that had started in the sixties didn't just change people, but also their entire society. "At least we don't have to worry about that problem. Just extinct birds who want to roast us alive."

He frowned. "So you're saying that you can make things the same, but you can sort of recreate another face without looking like a monster. I want that. Trust me, I don't care how weird that is, I want to look beautiful again, because I was seriously thinking of using polyjuice otherwise. I wonder if I keep drinking polyjuice with my own hair, since it's my genetic material if I'd look like I did before."

Yes, he had given a lot of thought about magical ways to ensure that he didn't look like a monster. "But your way- I could technically redo things the way they were, or change completely." He had never thought about it, because he was who he was. "I'm not sure. I'd need potions, then, right? Or is it spells? Or a combo? Like create the flesh with potions and recreate a new skin with spells?"

"Not everyone is able to fight or willing. It's why those who feel that urge to stand, they have to. They feel compelled. Like with these rubbish birds, people came together to fight. We can all overcome a great deal, if we stand together. Change our circumstances, even if what drives and motivates us may differ." She said with a smile. "But I've always been a glass half full sort." She admitted freely.

Marlene gave the blanket along side his hand a slight squeeze. "Your not a monster. I've met monsters."

She listened to what he had to say and considered it all before speaking. It was something she wanted him to be very sure about, because once the ball was set in motion it would be incredibly risky, with his injuries, to turn back.

"Polyjuice would only be an option if it was hair from before. Anything from now would be as you are now. Although I admit, I don't know if it would work. I've never seen someone change back to a previous state of themselves before. So that would have to be put to the test. Regardless it is not a solution, that would be a crutch. And a crutch is only good for the short term. "

"There are some limitations of course. Your bones structure is largely as it is. But yes, we can redo things or change them completely. Regardless of how much change you chose, it is unlikely we can match exactly to as you are now. There will be some variation, and so planning around those changes and modifying to suit your wants and needs might suit you more. You can patch what is there or alter completely."

"It would require potions, spells and more. But mostly time. A great deal of time. It's not something we can do all at once. Depending on what you want to do. And yes, exactly like that. New flesh with potions, charms, spells and special medicinal tools. But it can be done. I'm familiar with the process."
