"I left you a... See, Felicity, here, fell and..." Drew tried to start, but Ari looked so much worse off than Felicity, he wasn't sure the older girl was up to helping. Maybe this wasn't the best time.
"Are you okay? What happened?" he asked, looking a little concerned by her appearance. Jeremy would have to end up fixing both girls up it looked like.

"Left me what?" Arianna asked, her grin slipping only slightly as she glanced into the room at Drew's mention of Felicity falling. She caught sight of Jeremy and gave him a small wave before her eyes traveled to the younger girl, whom she thought must've been the one Drew was talking about. Her brain was still extra fuzzy on people she didn't hang out with often. Felicity was moving around and Arianna hardly noticed the odd way she was holding her arm, so she couldn't really figure out what Drew could be needing her for.
"What? Oh...yeah..." she swiped her hand across her nose at no avail. The dried blood hardly even flaked off and she wound up only wincing at the tenderness. "I'm okay," she claimed. "Just ran into a misplaced quidditch hoop is all. It'll be fine in a day, two tops."
"So what did you need me for?" Arianna asked again, looking at Drew expectantly. She felt like it had been ages since anyone had actually needed her and she somehow felt special to have someone asking for her. Even if the circumstances weren't one someone should be happy about.

"You don't look okay," Drew answered bluntly, really thinking that he could take care of Felicity and maybe Ari should go see the nurse if her nose was that messed up. He sure couldn't fix something like that, and he was pretty sure Jeremy couldn't either.
Not only her nose, but her state of mind worried the older boy. Hopefully she was kidding about the goal hoops getting moved around. Drew looked over at Felicity, wondering if she was still up to having Ari look at her wrist. It wasn't his decision to make even if Ari was his friend.

"I'm joking," Arianna insisted, seeing Drew's face when she mentioned the Quidditch hoops. She didn't know if he was concerned about her or about someone messing with the pitch, but she assured him that everything was as it was supposed to be. For the most part, anyway. "The hoops are still on the pitch where they're supposed to be. It started pouring out and I could hardly see where anything was. I'm sure I'll be okay."
Of course, Arianna didn't even know if it was just the nose Drew was worried about. She thought she looked better than she had just weeks ago. Still a bit thin, but at least she had her colour back. But maybe there were other things about her that had changed that she couldn't see. Besides being reckless on the pitch, of course. It was probably a good thing games had been canceled. Arianna would probably wind up hurting herself, and a few others, really badly.
"What were you looking for me for?" Arianna repeated. She suddenly worried he'd answer with 'nothing' and send her on her way. She might be a little off lately, but she could still try to help.

Jeremy smiled back at Arianna's wave, happy to see the older girl for a few reasons. One, he liked the seventh year because she didn't laugh at him for playing with Legos, and two, she could probably help Rock-girl better than he could.
"She got hurt," Jeremy answered, pointing to the blonde. He knew her name started with an F, Fell-something... or maybe it was Fla-, but it really wasn't important enough for him to remember.

Hearing the concern in Drew's voice, Felicity knitted her eyebrows slightly, wondering what was wrong. Had something also happened to Arianna? With Drew's line of questioning, it was only what she could assume. Not wanting to get to close too Jeremy, she hung back a little and couldn't exactly see the Ravengirl to see what in the world Drew was talking about, but the girl sounded all right. Or at least she said she was, which only left Felicity to assume the dark haired girl was indeed fine from whatever happened, and what she explained as having happened made Felicity go into a fit of silent giggles, which only jarred her arm slightly and made her wince once more. A misplaced Quidditch hoop, though? That was kind of funny sounding.
Letting her light brown eyes wander back to the back of Drew's head, she wondered why he sounded so insistent on asking Arianna if she was all right. If the girl said she was, then she probably was, right? It was the only conclusion when it didn't sound like she was bitter or resentful or in pain. No, the girl actually sounded like she was enjoying herself, and whatever had happened.
Felicity was a little surprised Jeremy answered Arianna's question before Drew did. Drew hadn't really answered Arianna from he beginning of why he'd been looking for her. He gave a very brief synopsis of what happened, but then he seemed to have gotten side-tracked by whatever made him concerned over the older Ravenclaw.

Felicity fell.....and got hurt. Okay....Arianna got that, but she wasn't sure why they'd been looking for her. Was it a small hurt, like a splinter? So...Drew could take care of that. Arianna was sure even Felicity could do it herself. If it was something serious, why didn't they come right out and say it? Arianna didn't know what good she could do, but she certainly couldn't do anything if no one let her in on what, exactly, was hurting.
Giving a glance at Drew, the older girl moved past him and into the room. One look told her Felicity must be the only other female in the room and she wandered over to the Gryffindor with a somewhat confused look on her face.
"What do you need me to do?" she asked, feeling a little unsure of herself. It had been a while since anyone had come looking for her to do anything, even if it was just to clean or fix up a small owie, it felt weird to think someone in this room really wanted her to be here.

Still confused about Drew's concern, Felicity turned her attention to the movement, only to have revealed to her what his concern had been over. Was that really blood? Or was it some new weird face paint stuff? The placement of it made Felicity pretty sure it was indeed blood, but she couldn't ever really be sure. Those Weasley products had some awful tricks, maybe the girl had eaten one of their nougats in those little kits they sold... She hadn't ever had one, but she'd seen them around the common room and had asked once what they were. Of course, she'd gotten a couple of odd looks, but it had been explained. Though, she was sure if the Ravenclaw had indeed eaten one, she must have had the other end, for she thought the blood (if that's what it was) was dried over.
"Well, I..." Felicity trailed off, not sure if she should be asking for help when Arianna looked like she could be cleaned up a bit. Though, if she was walking around and joking, she must've been fine. "I hurt my wrist. I'm not sure what's wrong, but I was hoping you could look at it, maybe."
Yes, she had to have been fine, otherwise she wouldn't be there, right?

"You weren't the one trying to get something off the shelf, were you?" Arianna teased, a light smile spreading across her face. Though she knew it was possible for Felicity's injury to be serious, Arianna liked to keep things light-hearted and cheerful in these situations. It might've looked silly, though, with her bloodied nose quickly forgotten.
"Here, let me see it," she shrugged her book bag off and set it on the floor along with her broom. With those set aside, she reached her hand out for Felicity's arm, more than willing to help out. Even if she couldn't fix the injury, Arianna at least knew how to figure out just what was wrong and would be able to let Felicity know if she should go to the nurse. Arianna knew many students disliked going to the Hospital Wing, but sometimes it just couldn't be helped.
"Can you pinpoint where it hurts?" she questioned, glancing up at the girl. "Or does it hurt all over?"

A small smile and a hint of laughter touched the Gryffindor's voice as she shook her head and told the Ravenclaw "no." Felicity, if she'd been getting something off the shelf, would've climbed up it to get it, and would probably have been in worse shape than she was at the moment. The shelf most likely would've fallen on her, spilling it's contents on her toes, one at a time just for the fun of it.
As the girl stepped forward, Felicity glanced up at Drew quickly, before giving her arm up for the girl to examine. Felicity had no reason not to trust the dark-haired girl, after all, she was Drew's friend, and he praised her abilities, so she shouldn't be afraid. No reason to be.
Nodding, Felicity pointed with her forefinger about an inch in on the inside of her wrist, and then about a half an inch on the outside of it. That wasn't too hard to do, or she hoped she was doing it correctly. What if she'd expected something more?
"There're little sharp pains in it," she mentioned softly, not sure if Arianna wanted Felicity to do more than point, or not.

So the pain was pretty much focused on one side as far as Arianna could tell. She held Felicity's arm gently in her left hand as she ran her right hand over it. The Healers back home had taught her this bit of magic. It was kind of like using an x-ray. It was the only sort of wandless magic Arianna had ever been able to do properly, and even at that she didn't quite have it down. If she did, she would be able to show Felicity what was going on inside her arm. For now, it only showed enough for Arianna to see.
"Does it hurt all the time, or just when you move it?" she prodded some more. So far, she couldn't see anything. Arianna had to tell herself to calm down a bit so she could focus more on what she was doing. She was completely in her element and things she thought she'd forgotten were suddenly flooding back and that made her want to leap for joy, though at the same time she worried it would all leave her the moment she was done here. Both emotions she had to keep under control or the little bit of magic she was using would flicker away. "I don't think it's broken, but...."

Frowning slightly, Felicity watched Arianna, at a complete loss for what she was doing. Movement with her hand that she didn't know why, but she thought it looked rather odd. Raising an eyebrow, Felicity turned her attention to Drew, wondering if he knew what the girl was doing. Maybe it was a normal occurance? She hoped so since she didn't have the faintest idea.
Feeling the softest of touches from the girl, Felicity breathed in sharpley, unable to just grit her teeth and bare it. "When I move it, I think," she answered after a minute. Really, she wasn't sure, but she was pretty sure it didn't hurt all of the time. Just randomly. And when Arianna said she didn't think it was broken she smiled, which looked more like a grimace. The length of time didn't bother the blonde as she stood as still as she could, waiting for Arianna's diagnosis.
"Do you think you could do something?" she asked softly, hoping to Merlin the girl wouldn't say no.

Drew smiled ever so slightly, well accustomed to Arianna's techniques. He had actually seen her heal small contusions with just the right touch, and while he had had his doubts whyen she first came into the room, she looked a lot more like the old Ari he knew and was sure she could help Felicity.
"But... what?" he asked, a look of worry crossing his face. That didn't sound very good.

"It looks like..." Arianna hesitated. She had never actually been the one to give a complete diagnosis on her own when it came to injuries beneath the skin. There had always been someone else there to take a look. They would then tell Arianna what they saw and she would either confirm or deny whether she had seen the same. What if she was wrong? She was certain of what she saw, though. All she could do was tell Felicity what she was seeing.
"A torn ligament," Arianna finally replied, frowning slightly. "And maybe a hairline fracture. I know a potion that can take care of that in no more than two or three days. Ligaments will take a bit longer, though. You'll have to keep it wrapped for a while and not put any strain on it."

Jeremy figured he didn't need to stick around anymore, not that Arianna was taking care of it and inched his way to the exit, only to be pulled back by Drew. He glared at his older cousin and was about to protest when he caught sight of what Arianna was doing. It actually looked kind of neat.
"You can tell that just by feeling it?" he asked, scrunching up his nose in disbelief. Of course, with his luck, Arianna would fix it so that Rock-girl could throw more stuff at him.
