Visiting Saint Mungo's

[Maria Silversmith]

Ria was needing to visit saint mugos but why you ask? Was she crazy? No she needed to get over being a depressed person and have that beautiful smile she used to have back. Though Remy had helped her when she needed to talk to someone he listened. Did they have a cure for the broken hearted fools?

She looked at the door going into the building and smiled. She looked at the three offices and smiled not sure who to talk to about forgetting or getting rid of a broken heart. Maybe just talking will be ok right?

[Benjamin Scott]

Ben was beyond exhausted. He was starting the second have of a double shift and had all of three hours of sleep in the past twenty four hours. To make matters worse, he was behind in his paperwork and was expecting three new admissions. It was just his luck to be scheduled to come in on a full moon. It wasn't the busiest time of the month for only the folks on the psych ward, the poor saps working down at Creature-Induced Injuries were hit pretty hard as well. Just the other day he was on his way to the loo and came across a fellow with half an ear missing. With a heavy sigh, he filled out the remainder of the release statement that he had been staring at blankly for the past thirty minutes, and placed on the very top of an enormous stack of papers that were due to be sent out. It was time for a break.

Unlike the majority of his co-workers, coffee wasn't really his thing. A nice walk around the vicinity was really all he needed. "No Mrs. Stuart, you are not the Mister of Magic. Get back into bed now. It's almost time for your session." He motioned for one of the other healers to guide her to her room, and journeyed on. When passing the waiting area, he came across a young woman who seemed to be lost. A visitor perhaps?

"Pardon me ma'am, are you visiting a loved one" It wasn't unusual for a visitor to wander off into the wrong ward.

[Maria Silversmith]

Ria looked around the place with a yawn. Ok she was a bit bored but she wasn't one to rush. Hearing someone ask her a question she looked at the guy with her baby blue eyes. "pardon me ma'am, are you visiting a loved one "Um sorry no sir my loved ones all are dead except my youngest brother who is in Durmstrang." she looked at the guy then down at the ground "I am here to see a doctor but maybe it is best I don't?" she said as she then looked ahead.

"I am looking to find a way to mend a depression that needs to stop I miss smiling." she said her face frowned slightly. "I am sorry to bother you sir." she said then started turning to go somewhere else in the hospital.

[Benjamin Scott]

Ben was somewhat taken aback by the woman's response. To be honest, he didn't really know what to make of it. she was either joking and would burst out laughing at any second or she was completely serious. He was hoping it wasn't the latter. However, her remark about seeing a doctor indicated that she was in fact, not joking. There was just one problem with the young woman's request. Ben was not a doctor nor was anyone else in the building. He had some knowledge of muggle medical techniques, but not very much. Perhaps her condition didn't require medical attention at all. It seemed as if all she needed was someone to talk to, someone to listen. So much for his break.

"Just where do you think you're going, Miss? I may not be a doctor, but I am a healer and might be able to help. I have an office just down the hall. You have to hurry though. I am very busy and only have a half hour to spare." Without another word, he started down the hall in the direction of his office. If he was lucky, he'd help sort out whatever was troubling her in time to grab a bagle from the cafeteria.

[Maria Silversmith]

She had said doctor she was a witch gosh dang it. Why did she say doctor? OH yes her brother used to call healers doctors. Now that he was dead a part of her died with him. It would take a while to earn back self respect and no more being so out there. But back to the what she was there for. She needed to get her heart mended and get herself out of a strong depression. Yes she had her animals and she had met a very wonderful man Remy.

But she was still depressed a bit. "Well as I see it maybe I came to the wrong place? Oh you might be able to help? Ok I have no place else to go other then home so I suppose I can follow you to your office." she said then followed him to his office. She didn't say a word since she didn't know where to sit and stuff.

[Benjamin Scott]

Ben smiled warmly as he held the door open for the troubled woman and motioned for her to take a seat. He swore under his breath at the sight of desk and swiftly made an effort to stack up the many loose pieces of paper into as neat a pile as he could manage. The desk was now plain old messy as opposed to disastrous. As satisfied as he was ever going to be, Ben seated himself on his rickety chair and faced his guest.

"Please pardon the mess. I've fallen a little behind in my work, as you can see.." He laughed nervously and glanced at the clock that hung above the door. "I'm Benjamin Scott, head of the psych ward here at St. Mungos." He extended his right arm to shake her hand. "Now what seems to be the problem? You mentioned depression. Let me guess, break up with your boyfriend?"

[Maria Silversmith]

Looking at him smiling warmly at her she sighed. "NO that is where you are wrong. YOU know the news about missing people and dead people? MY parents are dead my brother is missing and my life is a whole wreck. When I do get into a relationship I end up messing it up left and right. NO break up with a boyfriend I don't have a boyfriend." she said "Add I lost the only ring I had that was given to me by my PARENTS who are dead." she said frusterated.

"Your office isn't that messy." she said frusterated. She sat down hiding her face in her hands. She didn't want ANYONE much less saint mungos seeing her cry.

[Benjamin Scott]

Ben sat quietly for a moment as he contemplated a response. There was no denying it, the woman was indeed troubled. Experiencing the loss of both parents and living in a constant state of worry over a missing brother would definitely cause anyone a great amount of emotional strain. As far as relationship issues were concerned, he wasn't sure if he would even be able to offer her any useful advice. He wasn't exactly a love guru himself. He slid open the bottom drawer on the left hand side of the desk and pulled out a box of kleenex.

"Pull yourself together, Miss. Can't have you falling apart in my office. It'll only make me look bad.." He paused to lay the tissues down in front of her. "People die. Family members die every day. It's just the natural order of things. Yes, it hurts. However, you still have a life to live and cannot continue to dwell on your misfortunes. You're beautiful woman and should be out there right now enjoying yourself, not here in my disaster of an office." Sugarcoating things wasn't going to get her anywhere. The best way to handle someone in a funk was to be direct and firm.

[Maria Silversmith]

Ria looked at the doctor or nurse or whatever he was called and sighed. Loosing her parents killed her and she made her house look exactly like her parents. She wished she knew what happened to her twin brother. If her other brother Nikolas was ok in the school he was in. She was quiet beside herself.

"Thank you" she said then sighed when he said Pull yourself together, Miss. Can't have you falling apart in my office. It'll only make me look bad. she looked up at him and nodded but still the tears fell down her cheeks. People die. Family members die every day. It's just the natural order of things. Yes, it hurts. However, you still have a life to live and cannot continue to dwell on your misfortunes. You're beautiful woman and should be out there right now enjoying yourself, not here in my disaster of an office. "You - You think I am beautiful?" she asked in a weakened sad voice. This is before she met Remy. "Enjoying myself how nobody likes me... Well not that I know of anyway." she said wiping her tears but she didn't smile much.

[Jaegar Ansari]

Jay made it to St. Mungo's and a pathetic teacher he remembered was there crying spreading her disease. She might have mono, herpes, or crabs. Who knows right? She was right nobody liked a whiney person. He approached them. "Hi I am Doctor Zhivago Jr. I am here to take you to take you to the Psych Ward. We need to return to you. You know your not allowed to go out on the weekends or anytime."

[Professor Torza Ansari]

I guess it was because Torza was spying on St. Mungo that she knew her friend Maria was in trouble. Oh no this would not do! Torza was only spying on the hospital to see if anyone she knew was being hurt. The ministry were covering it all up and she was fed up with that. Dam ministry....what wankers. Tut-tut. Anyway she had been spying from the outside until she saw maria go in. Was it bad to spy on her from the inside?

Thinking it probably was she argued it over and decided that something bad was going to happen, she could sense it. Well maybe she just really wanted to go in to the hospital to see if they were in on the 'cover ups'. Seeing her friend go into the office of some man she sighed, she had known something bad was going to happen. His hair was just horrible! At least it was nothing too bad. Smiling she was about to walk back out when she saw Jaegar go into the office. That was rude! Anyway she decided to followed him to hear what he had to say.

Maybe he had caught Maria and the healer at it and was going to blackmail them...that was so last year! Sighing she heard everything Jaegar had to say, getting angrier and angrier. He was her friend yes but he had no right coming into a thread and saying those terrible things.

"JAEGAR!" she snapped from behind him, he better jump! "Apologize to Mar....Professor Silversmith NOW!" she bellowed. It even amazed her that someone so small and blond could yell like that. "This is not your office, this is the doctors, Can you not see that she is busy in here?" she asked him shaking her head.

"I'm disappointed in you" she told him softly, she knew how much more it hurt when someone said that to you than actual shouting did. "Apologise and GET OUT!" she told him her hand on his shoulder. "You will report to my house tomorrow morning for punishments and if you do not arrive then rest assure that I will find you!"she told him her eyes showing a mixture of sadness, disappointment and anger.

"Your a nice boy, but what you did today and with Cory the other day...." she shook her head. "Well maybe I was wrong about you and the rest of the people that said you were naughty were right!"she looked at Maria and said "Tell me if he says sorry" before walking out of the hospital red in the face.

((sorry I am not REALLY spying on st.mungos but I thought I should sort young sonny jim here out...ooh and by the way your hair is not awful, tis...unique =P. And Jay sweetie I do love you but please this can hurt peope IC and OOC and you know your not suppose to be mean to a PROFESSOR or ANYONE ELSE. Anyway my writing was pretty crappy for this cause I did not bother thinking about it, I just wanted to get him out of there))

[Jaegar Ansari]

Jay jumped at Torza yelling at him. He liked Torza but this wasn't like her. he heard what she said and he started crying. He turned his head. 'Sorry." He said to professor Silversmith. He felt her hand on his shoulder. he started to leave and sniffled a little as he was leaving. "Maybe I am bad! Maybe I am...' he couldn't finish. he broke down sobbing. He left the hospital.

I'm a little confused as to how a random student can just barge into someone's office and pretend to be healer. Since the whole thing makes absolutely no sense, it's going to be ignored. Thank you Torza for taking care of this.
