Place: Hospital Wing
Nurse is NPC

Claire's blue eyes suddenly popped open. She was laying down in a bed, with the covers firmly tucked up to her neck. For a moment Claire couldn't think over the pulsing pain in her head and left leg. She heard some voices at the end of her bed that seemed closer and then further away. Closer and further away. Closer and further away. That sound lulled Claire to sleep amidst the pulsing pain.
Claire blinked open her eyes sometime later. A nurse was busy doing some spell on Claire's left leg. As the medi-witch finished the spell Claire's leg hurt less. It was still pulsing with pain, but it was not unbearable anymore. She gently coughed to get the nurse's attention. The nurse jerked at the sound, then quickly went to Claire's side.
"You certainly took a nasty fall there, Miss. We're all glad you are okay. Do you even remember what happened?" the Medi-witch asked Claire. Claire rubbed her head, that still hurt, trying to make sense of that statement. She finally shook her head and looked imploringly at the nurse for a clue.
"Come on Miss. Today is a special day. Today is..." the nurse prompted Claire. Claire got it. "Valentines day!" she gasped. Like a snap of the fingers, the memory of what just happened suddenly flooded Claire's brain.

"Bye," Claire waved to a couple of her friends after breakfast. "I'm going to go practice racing, since I don't have a boyfriend. That's how today will be fun for me!" she cheerfully explained to her friends while starting to go in the direction of her dorm.
She ran up to her dorm to grab her precious Nimbus 1700 from her dorm and raced back down to do some broom racing practice. Claire by no means was going to mope around today pining away on fake loves, as some would expect her to do. Well, maybe while she was falling asleep tonight, she might. But she was sure going to put her waking hours to good use. She arrived and mounted her broom, while making sure her hands and legs were positioned right.
At first all was well. Claire rose almost as high as the school, although she was itching to go higher, but she knew it wouldn't be safe. She warmed up by lapping a couple trees under her. Then she decided she would practice some dives, because if she ever decided to quit broom racing, although not likely, her next choice in sports would be being a Quidditch seeker.
She did a couple small controlled dives, but not pushing it to the max, since she was unfamiliar with preforming dives. At the end of her last one she noticed a small black spider on her right leg. Claire screamed and reached her leg up and pulled her hand down to frantically swipe at the little beast.
She would have been okay if the wind hadn't chosen to suddenly pick up strength at that very moment. The wind sharply spun her around and then pushed her left into a tree! She could have resisted the wind if her uniform had been more freeing and her attention wasn't on a spider. Claire suddenly found herself laying on her belly in a tree! She slowly began reaching for her wand, when she realized that while going to get her broom she had noticed a rip in her skirt. Claire had cast reparo on it and had sat her wand on her bed before grabbing her broom! Oh no. Oh no. No. No. No, she helplessly thought now.
That was when she heard a crack! It seemed to take up the whole world, as loud as a gunshot, and as torturing as fingernails taking their time across a chalkboard. Claire tensed and the "AHHHHHHHEEEEEELLLLLPPP," Claire screamed louder than she ever thought she had, before everything went black and she found herself lying in the Hospital Wing.

Talking about @Kazimir Valun-Plemya

Claire was disappointed. She was going to miss the Valentine's Day feast! It was going to be sad for her, but not an extremely big deal, because she didn't have a boyfriend waiting. Her friends could just celebrate without her. It was a twinge in her heart, but it wasn't that bad. It wasn't the end of the world to be in the hospital wing for a few days.
Oh wait! It was. Claire just remembered something else. The International Magical Olympic Games, or IMOG as a shorter way of calling them, were tomorrow! Well, not really tomorrow, but they were leaving tomorrow. She looks forward to any multi-school trip, but this one was special. They were going to go to Koldovstoretz.
Claire was wanting to go to Koldovstoretz every since last summer when she met Kazimir right before summer camp. They had chatted about their schools while their fathers were busy, and he had helped her find her favorite earing that had fallen out. After hearing that IMOG was going to be at Koldovstoretz, Claire was planning to look for him there and surprise him with her presence. To say nothing about the Olympic Games part!
Her face tensed and she tried hard not to cry. Claire tried to politely say, "Please, I've got to be healed. IMOG is tomorrow!" but it came out a little squeaky. "I'm sorry Miss," said her nurse, "Two extra days is the shortest possible time that you'll have to stay, but I expect longer." Claire tried not to cry and opened her mouth to plead her case some more.
