Summary: Su visits the hospital
Completion: Complete
Su lay on the couch and glared at her ankle. It was twice its normal size, deep purple, and hurt so much that she had hardly slept the night before. Her mother's voice resounded in her head: Not good, Su.
It seemed the height of irony. She had spent weeks cooped up in her flat, scared of the outside world, before finally resolving to go out, meet people, and find a job. On her first outing, to the Five Alarm, she'd taken a fantastic spill, only to be rescued by one Blaise Zabini, which had led to pleasant conversation over lunch. Unfortunately she had twisted her ankle rather badly, so opted to stay in Friday and let it heal. She'd gotten a rather complex potion started from the herbs her mother sent, which was very satisfying, and sitting on a stool in her kitchen was much easier than walking, but clearly it was time for outside help.
Su half-limped, half-hopped to the closet and pulled on trousers and a jumper, but was a bit stumped when it came to shoes. She only had heels, and there was no way her ankle was going to cooperate with that. That left her slippers, and Merlin, how humiliating would that be. Su put on her
pink fuzzy slippers, Transfiguring an umbrella into a cane to prevent further spills before Apparating to the hospital.
