The school nurse took the time to review her supplies and took note of what she was missing. Much like last semester she wanted to start this one fresh as well too. Unsurprisingly she found that she was in fact out of quite a few things. She knew she would have to be making a few trips to London to fetch somethings from the Apothecary... Or maybe she'd send an owl, she wasn't sure yet.
Hermes, her black-footed ferret sat coiled around her neck which made him look like a fur shoal around his mistress' neck. Althea toured the facilities with a pen and clip board throughly examining every cabinet, cupboard and drawer making certain that everything was up to her high standards.
On the first day of classes she was happy to record in her books that there where no patients in the hospital wing this yet this term. Thankfully this past semester only a few minor injuries and illness kept her busy, she hoped that it would stay that way.
Althea returned to her office and set out a bowl of Muggle candy on her desk. She had completely forgotten to put it out her first term in Hogwarts, she was so busy with settling in.
This semester she decided she was going to leave behind the traditional long flowing green healer's robes and opt for her Muggle scrubs and lab coat. In her mind, it was far more practical than the long robes that made her look more like a nun than a doctor.
Althea's mind was always busy and always thinking. She noticed that the last semester that the Divinations professor had burnt herself very badly and when she confronted the strange professor, she refused her aid, even though she was in pain. It had bothered her ever since the Halloween ball, when she first saw the burns, (or rather the attempt to cover up.) She was never able to get a good look at the woman without impolitely craning her neck at the dinner table or rudely staring at her. Worse yet, Althea even tried to follow her around the castle a few times, but was unable to discover anything new about her condition. Minka had learned to hide the scaring very well, as no one else seemed to notice the gypsy woman wearing a few more tacky scarves than usual.
Maybe she'd ask her again this term, or maybe she could bribe some students to ask some prying questions for her... Perhaps she'd open up to some first years innocent questions.
