The Hospital Wing

After a final, critical overview and frank smack of her lips, Bianca was satisfied. She quickly pulled up a silver case onto her lap, neatly stowing away all of her supplies by type, brand, and color.

"I used to not be able to," Bianca admitted. "But after a lot of practice and actually starting to read the labels, I learned. Categorizing everything by type certainly helps."

"I feel fine. But the matron won't let me out for another few days. She's still all tied up in a knot 'cause she thinks that the Imperius Curse might have messed with my head. If it even was the Imperius curse. Apparently I've had seizures and hallucinations. Not that I remember any of that."

Bianca laughed. "Hopefully your brother is man enough to make a move already. Honestly, he needs to stop being so shy."

"Ten Galleons says Ricardo's too much of a baby to make a move before April."

"No, wait... Make that mid-March and you're on."

"Perfect. I'll be ten Galleons richer by the spring." She smiled, closing the lid to her case in satisfaction.

Bianca paused, leaning back in her pillows. "I don't know about them. I actually think that Nicolas and Tessa has better chances as a ship."

Bianca shifted. Cluing him in about Tessa's confession would be completely wrong. But she couldnt let the poor boy go around with as terrible an idea of shipping as Nicolas. "Look, Leo. I am a veteran shipper and Tessa's best friend. I think I trust my instincts when it comes to her. Besides, if anything, I think Xander might have a thing for your brother. I mean, wanting to feel his muscles? They were flirting that whole night."
