Shortly after the discussion in the hospital wing with Neville, Althea went looking for the headmistress, as promised. She uttered the password to the Gryphon and it slid aside. She then gently wrapped on Elsbeth door.

"Come in," Elsbeth said, as she heard a gentle knock on her office door.
She was sitting dutifully behind her desk, poring over charts and statements; going over the school finances, and an open Potions tome lay open beside the parchments, in case she finished the work and had some extra time.

She opened the door a crack and stuck her head in. The stethoscope around her neck knocked a little on the wood frame. "Hello, I hope I'm not intruding Miss Pierce, but I have something important to discuss with you. It's concerning Madame Minka."

"Yes, please, have a seat," she said, waving at the empty chair opposite her. "Madame Minka, you say?"
Elsbeth thought for a second, wondering what could possibly be going on.

the doctor entered the office. She had switched her healer's robes for scrubs, as she thought that they were more practicle. She took a seat in the chair presented to her.
"I'm concerned actually. She had burnt her self really badly from what I can tell on school grounds... When I confronted her about it, she refused treatment, and actually told me to mind my own business and that she could take care of herself. Kind of rude, if you ask me, but she's like that... Some people feel like wounded animals and put a wall up when someone offers help... but this was, over the top. I'm wondering actually, where she could have burnt herself- because if there's something that dangerous on school grounds, it should be dealt with."

"Oh, that sounds rather dodgy, indeed." Elsbeth said, cocking her head to the side in an inquisitive manner. She tapped her chin with her fingers, thinking.
She then replied, "I suggest some sort of action be taken immediately. If the children are at risk, then by all means, let's do whatever it takes to cut out that risk."

"I understand completely." Althea shifted positions in her chair, "I have an idea- well it was Prof. Longbottom's idea- We were thinking, Madame Minka would never come to me for help- So, if I were to give every single staff member a mandatory physical... She can't avoid it really... Besides, I bet most of the staff are long over due for a check up."

Elsbeth nodded in agreement with the mediwitch. "Yes, that seems like a great idea!" she exclaimed, "I do agree that most are long overdue for a check up, myself included."
"You can start on that right away, Doctor."

Althea smiled, having gotten then Ok so easily from Elsbeth, but her expression changed quickly when another thought crossed her mind.
"Thank you, I will. There is one problem, however... I don't really know what do with Shellivia..."

"Hmm, you're right. I have no idea." she said, wondering the same thing. "Maybe you should ask her what it is that she normally does for her routine check up, and then go from there?"

"That seems like a good idea, I've got no other options really...Hopefully we will be able to determine what happed to Minka, so it doesn't happen again in the future... If you think of anything that may have burnt her, please, let either Prof. Longbottom or myself know."

"Yes, if I think of anything." she said, with a nod. "Is there anything else I can help you with?"

"Thank you for your help... at the moment I don't really know what you can do to help, except maybe asking Minka yourself, in casual conversation what happened? She might open up, you are the head mistress... You are her boss."
