Trying to get it together with @Clair Fernandez, @Haley Rose, and @Simon Corbin
The brunette girl repeated the word Hogwarts and Huffle - what? She said he was...learning magic? Oh no, this was a psychiatric facility! And then another came into the room, also mentioning this Hogwarts. He knew of words like hogwash and hogtie and even mahogany but hogwarts? That must be the name of the institution. Simon began to read the note from the 'Other Simon' was a little reassured that they could also seem to freely come and go from that door. Good to know that this probably wasn't a maximum security place.
And the water? It was perfect! "Thanks for the water, mate" he said, squeezing the redhead's hand gently before letting go so he could accept the gift. He certainly wasn't vegan and he didn't like chocolates so little did the Other Simon know but water was one of his drinks of preference.
He was thirsty and drank it all in that one moment. Still, he couldn't quite see how running around with a broom would cause one to need hydrated but here he was. "I feel like I've got to introduce this place to hockey or squash - something that apparently might be less physical than this broom racing." Simon closed his eyes for a moment. His head hurt. A lot. "Did I run smack straight into a wall or something?
He listened as the brunette talked to the redhead and smiled when he realized her name was Haley. Haley was such a beautiful name and surely fit the girl there. He reached out, taking Haley's hand in his own again. It was nice that all these people were here for his support and he very much wanted to hold this girl's hand again.
When the girl came closer to his bedside and pulled out a stick in her hand he paused before looking over to Other Simon and the beautiful Haley. "...Is that some sort of punishment stick?" Was she going to smack him with it? Wow, this place really WAS like World War 1 era but at least there were no tasers. He began to try and sit up a little more, wondering if he needed to try and escape.
She called it a wand, said it casted spells. Oy vey. Maybe he needed to go along with this to appease her. "You know, uhh...I think maybe - yeah, yeah. I remember all this Pufflehuff stuff now."
That didn't seem to convince the girl and she bent down, picking up a shell of some sort and muttered something incomprehensible and it looked like it turned into a teapot. He blinked and looked to Other Simon, looked to Haley, and then to that girl. Okay, he had totally lost it. "I think I might need some rest... You guys can stay here if you want." After all, who was he to anger anyone in a facility such as this? Besides, that one girl seemed connected somehow to his own insanity, the Other Simon had a cool first name, and then Haley was absolutely stunning.
Be kind to one another. (*iNPC is Miles Thatcher)

Clair watched as it seeming failed to make him remember, what would it take? She rolled her eyes, Clair looked at Haley and Simon, "god, I'm out of tricks, I'm going to sit down," she sat down, and made a mentle note to tell Simon sorry once, that is if, he started to remember things. As she sat there she started to think "is there some kind of potion to make him remember?" She muttered to herself, they were in a magic place that could regrow bones, so she hopped there would be some magic thing to fix Simon brain, she pushed her hand into her head, "what have I done." She muttered again, how could one stick, that was not all that big, do this to him? And if a stick did this, what did the rocks do to Avery and Winter?
She smacked herself again, did Simon have a super low pain tolerance? Because she had been so far behind in the race, Clair had not seen the rock and other stick hit Simon, and she had not talked to her team since then, so she had no idea that it was not just her that had hit him.
She looked at Simon (Corbin) "sorry i kind of just did not say hi, so now I'll say it, Hello." She felt like a failure.

He was fine, that was the most important thing she wanted to hear right now and luckily for her it came directly from him. Relieved, she slumped her shoulders, "Oh thank goodness." She laughed softly and stroked his hand, still a look of concern but the initial panic had passed. "He can't remember?" repeated Haley to Clair's words, now looking up from Simon towards Clair for the first time. Immediately her concern was written all over her face.
"Yeah, Maggie's not here." She supported the statement of the other boy, who by now was standing by the bed. "Maggie is in London. At home, or maybe still at the bakery. You're here with us at Hogwarts." She explained further, her attention back on Simon. She watched tensely, hoping the memories would come back. Through the words and through Clair demonstrating live magic to him. But something else took her attention, it was Simon's gesture. He reached for her hand and she did the same. Lightly she squeezed and gave him a loving smile. Everything would be all right.
"Don't worry, get some rest." Said Haley gently, not letting go of his hand. She wouldn't leave the side by his bed, she knew he would need some rest. She knew he would remember, they would just have to help him along, like Clair was already trying to do. Haley thought, what else could they do? Her eyes fell on her hand and then something occurred to her. "Hey Simon." She pointed to the snake ring on her hand with her free hand. She didn't know if he wore his too but maybe it would bring something to mind. "Can you remember that?" she asked slowly with a smile.
Still blanking out much around her, she didn't get the conversation between Clair and the other boy. It didn't even occur to her to introduce herself, which was unusual for her, but it was Simon she had to look after and so did everyone at his bedside and surely no one here would feel offended.

Waking up again with whoever is still there among @Clair Fernandez, @Haley Rose, and @Simon Corbin
Simon kept his eyes closed for a moment, rather glad that he didn't have to be alone at this point in time. He opened them and listened as Haley showed off her ring. "I've got one like that," he said, reaching out to the stand near his bed. He had seen it when he was scanning the room for light fixtures and clocks.
He took hold of what was on the stand, one was a black snake ring and the other a gold cross on a chain. He slipped the ring on first, taking a moment to admire it before sitting up to clasp the gold chain with the cross charm around his neck. Just the act of sitting up caused him to feel dizzy and he laid back down, allowing his head to rest against the pillow. "I think I must have had these on before colliding with the wall." Although he didn't understand why it was the back of his head that fell or why his whole body hurt - but Simon imagined broom racing as taking brooms and running around with it between your legs. How else could one get injured?
"Stay a little? I just want to rest my eyes a moment," he said as he loooked to the brunette girl and then his other visitors. Maybe he didn't remember them but it was nice to not be alone through all this, especially if Aunt Maggie was far away. Simon closed his eyes, just to rest them, but within hardly any time he was out.
He'd sleep for another good twenty minutes and whoever stayed could chatter if they wanted - he'd sleep through it, and once twenty minutes went by, his eyes began to open again. He felt his hand holding another's - as Haley had continued to hold his hand the whole time. When he opened them, he blinked a few times from the light and smiled to her. "Hey, Hales. What happened?"
By now he recognized the Hospital Wing of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Oh my god. Either Simon K. hit his head too hard and forgot them all, he was playing a prank (not effing funny, Simon) or he had gone insane, and as Kincaid talked, Little Simon began wondering if it was the third option.
Little Simon snickered at Simon's suggestions. "Pfft. Hockey is soo much more deadly than broom racing. Have you ever been to a game?" Every hockey game Simon went to got violent, one way or another. "Well, what happened is the Ravenclaws threw stuff at you because they were bitter you won the game for your team, so you got knocked out. And got a concussion, i suppose." Simon didn't understand why the hell people would do that. So damn petty and unnessesary. Sheesh.
Simon noticed that Kincaid seemed to be entranced by Haley, which was maybe a good sign. It would be terrible if he woke up hating her.
Simon looked at Haley again when he asked abut the wand, which he called a 'punishment stick'. "It's a wand, my dude." Simon said, feeling more and more upset. "Do you really not remember? Oh, this is bad..." He picked in his bag, looking for something that would bring his memories back.
Unfortunately, Simon couldn't find anything, but Haley did. Her ring- which looked pretty cool to Little Simon. Simon Kincaid just smiled and said he had one just like it.
Simon read his books as Kincaid slept. She wasn't about to leave- he could die (dramatic, but still!) and Simon knew that she wouldn't want anyone to leave if she was injured. Haley was being a good girlfriend by holding his hand the whole twenty minutes, which was impressive. She then decided to introduce herself to Haley. "Hey, I just wanted to give you my name- which also happens to be Simon. You're Haley, yes? You're great at Quidditch. I saw you once, playing. And you seem really nice, too." Simon made sure to pause between sentences as not to seem blabby.
When Kincaid woke up, Simon jumped up and looked over at him, and thank god- he recognised them now. Simon grinned in relief. "You're okay! I thought that was permanent. Want me to get you something? You must be hungry, and i only gave you water."

Clair gave Corbin a glare "Bitter? Is that what you call it? Well let me tell you! There is nothing better when you throw it before he crossed the line, and besides, I was praying for it to miss, so it was not bitter I'd never hurt my best friend out of bitterness." Her voice was laced with guilt, it was true she had been praying for it to miss, yet it had hit, and knocked him out cold.
When Simon (kincaid) said he wanted to rest, Clair stayed seated, no trouble in letting the boy rest, for the 20ish minutes that he slept Clair tried to not worry, after a while she got up and sighed, walking around for a few minutes before coming back and and standing there toying with her wand, she felt out of place standing with Haley and Simon C, she had no idea why, but it was weird feeling, she felt like someone was going to hit her for being there, and the guilt inside her was not helping.
She put her wand away when she heard Simon move, she looked at him hopefully, she had a few more ideas of how to help him remember who he was, but it seemed she would not need to use her ideas, because when Simon opened his eyes he simply said 'hey Hales what happened?' Clair felt like screaming in joy, she wanted to run to him and ask if he remembered winning, if he was ok, if he had been tricking them or if he had not remembered. But she stayed back, she let Haley do the talking if Haley wanted to, after all Haley and Simon were girlfriend/boyfriend and he had not asked her what had happened, so Clair just simply said "You ok Simon? You seemed to have forgotten everything for a while there."

It has only been a few days since Henry Knight officially became a hospital wing intern. The lad still couldn't imagine himself as a healer, the lad tended to stand in the background cleaning or organizing letting the minor healing be done by some of the other interns. He still felt out of place there, unsure if he should trult be there or if others would want him there... Feel safe with him there if they knew what he truly is.
The teen arrived there early, skipping the broom racing match that was held to day since he thought the hospital wing might be filled of injured players at the game's end.
Loki went with him, the feline found a seat on the side of the room and stretched out on the floor. Amber gaze on his onwer- partner.
Henry spent most of the day sweeping the floors and organizing the shelves of the hospital wing not wanting to get near a injured soul. Afraid of the failure of slipping up. Thoughts swirled that a werewolf shouldn't be a healer, shouldn't heal another since they can't heal themselves. Making beds and refilling water pitchers. The teen thought the best way to make himself useful was stand back, imagining that he wasn't there at all so to stay out of the others way.
Minutes turned to hours. Time passed and soon Henry gussed that the game ended when he saw a few students file in.
Standing on the back wall, away from rhe others with Loki by his side as he watched a group of three gather around a hufflepuff broom racer. Not able to see the faces to identify if he knew any of them or not. The teen stayed put, expecting the nurse or another intern to go over to help.
The teen waited and watied. But no one went. The teen pulled at his sleeves, ensurinf his scars weren't visble as his mind told him the racer needs help. The third year took a fee breaths, rehearsaling his intern speech in his mind as he walked over to the bed.
Nearing it the teen got in a few faces, Clair and Haley stood around it with a young lad. In the bed a pale hufflepuff who Henry known as Simon Kincaid. A small breath, his first student that he would meet as a hospital wing intern is a friend.
Coming to a halt at the end of the bed, Benry offered a soft smile as he spoke"Hello, Simon. I'm a intern here at the hospital wing and can help until nurse Brumby is ready to see you," Loki would rub aginest the young lad's (Simon Corbin) legs as the teen continued"I assume your here from the broom race? Did you fall off your broom or attacked by a creature? Or suffering from a spells effect?" The teen eyed over the second year hufflepuff as he walked toward the side of the bed, closer to Simon.
Casting a soft smile toward the others surrounding him as he spoke"Hello, Haley and Clair and- afraid I don't know your name," eyes darting from the mysterious boy to Simon as he spoke"I heard you asking for your aunt earlier, non students aren't allowed at hogwarts unless for extreme situations. I'm sorry, mate but you have your friends here for comfort and company," the teen then slipped his mayhaw wand from his back pocket as he twirled it through his fingers quite gracefully.
"Can you move your wrists and ankles freely? Feel like anything is bleeding?"
Henry foind himself asking trying his best ti remain professional and like the other interns yet found the act hard to maintain as he spoke"I'm new at this- uh not healing spells or helping but interning here. Uh- how was the race?"

Haley watched Simon and listened to him smiling, she knew he would remember. It had to be like this. Gently she stroked his hair as he closed his eyes. "I'll stay here." She whispered softly and waited until he had fallen asleep. That was important now, his body would need to recover from the fall and with any luck he would soon remember. At least that was Haley's hope. Still, she was afraid that this was all worse than she hoped. She felt the panic inside her, the fear, but tried not to let it show.
While Simon slept, she stayed by his bedside the whole time and held his hand. She hardly spoke or listened to the conversations, most of the time she just watched Simon sleep peacefully, his chest moving slowly up and down. There was something soothing about it and her eyes almost fell shut too. But before it happened, the still unknown person brought her back to reality, thankfully. "Hey! Aww that's sweet of you, thank you! I haven't been playing too long but I'm doing my best." the redhead smiled a little nervously. It was unusual for her to be recognised by others as a Quidditch player but honestly it also made her a little proud. "It's nice to meet you Simon." She returned with a smile, "I'm sorry I haven't introduced myself before but the situation here has been...well a bit difficult." She continued, gesturing with her gaze to the still sleeping Simon.
Hales. That was a good sign. Simon remembered her. "Hey luv, how are you feeling?" she inquired a little excitedly. "You fell of your broom after the Race." She explained succinctly and waited for his reaction. Was he remembering again? Did he know where he was and what he was? That they were here at Hogwarts learning magic. That Maggie was in London and just moments ago he was flying on a broom and had won a race? In between all the thoughts, she greeted Henry with a quick grin and a curt, "Hey." And already her attention was back on her boyfriend. But it wasn't just her, all the others had also become attentive and were asking him questions.

Feeling much better with @Haley Rose, @Henry Knight, @Clair Fernandez, and @Simon Corbin
Simon smiled as Haley came back over to his side and he listened as Henry Knight explained how he was an intern. Everything else was sort of a blur at the moment. "I'm feeling okay," he said to her because she asked out of concern but then he looked over to where Henry was. "A little light headed but nothing too tragic," he answered him, not feeling as if any treatment was really necessary at this point. Luckily this was the magical world and if anything had been broken or bruised too badly, there was a way to repair it. No wonder wizarding sports were so extreme.
"Guess I have to get a little tougher out there for the next race, huh? What happened to make me fall?" He was pretty sure he was hit with something, or well, a plural number of somethings, but he wasn't sure what or how many.
But most importantly, he did remember winning the race and that in itself was fantastic. He didn't necessarily want his best friend to lose, but it was a game and as such there would always be a winner and there would always be a loser. That was just the nature of most competitions and this broom race between Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw was no different.
Simon glanced around to see Clair there and Simon Corbin alongside Henry Knight and Haley Rose. He hoped Clair wasn't upset.
