WHO: Charlotte Wood & Draco Malfoy
WHAT: Lottie has to go in for a checkup and she "runs" into Draco.
WHEN: Tuesday 10 May 2002, late morning
WHERE: St. Mungo's Hospital
RATING: Cute and Fluffy
STATUS: Complete
Lottie's eyes, nearly three days later, still ached. It was a dull throb that really only bothered her when her eyes were tired. She hoped that the ache and the slight blurriness at the end of the day was all in her head, that there wasn't going to be some lasting effect on her eyes. She didn't need perfect eyesight like some of her family, but she liked that she hadn't ever needed glasses. She worried now that she would have to get them. It wasn't a vanity thing. It was that she would forget to wear them, or she would break them.
The healer had spent five minutes looking at her eyes before she decided to run some tests. They assured her the tests were routine. While they'd been pretty straightforward, they took a couple hours and led to "We'll owl you the results."
With no answers to her questions, and a little more worry piled on her shoulders, Lottie needed something to distract her. She had markers in her bag, and she sneaked onto the children's ward. She was dressed a bit like a librarian, and she took the time to sign in as a volunteer for the ward (she was known). She went to where the children were playing and held up her coloured pens. "Who wants to draw?" The joyful smiles warmed her heart, and she collected papers and charmed them together so they made a big sheet that she spread on the table. "We'll make a big picture that we can hang on the wall. Draw whatever comes into your imagination." She watched for a moment as the children dove in. Smiling, she ducked her head, and started drawing a purple octopus and it's sea buddies.
