Our friends
Poppy dried the bowls and put them away. She checked her watch it was arount 10.
She thought about, how Felix led his life. She never heard from a wizard that choose to life as a muggle. She always thought about it as a punishment, but now she realised that a decision like theat could be described as the absolute execution of free will.
She could enjoy all the things from both worlds, nothing was closed to her. Felix must be really happy with that, he probably doesnt know that he is. How lucky.
She went back to his bedside.
"How did it feel when the teeth started growing back?" Poppy asked and sat down.
"Strange- like a pressure from the jar upwards. But it didnt hurt. Im Sorry, but i didn´t catch your name."
"Im Poppy... Pomfrey"
they shook hands. like adults do.
"I dont get out of my house circle a lot and the only club i do is Quidditch, so my circle is kind of limited outside my grade."
"Without the chess and gobstone club i woudn´t get out of my house much either."
"Oh you are in the chess team, a friend of mine is also in it, but he always says that he just goes there for the pretty girls."
Poppy was takan aback by that statement. And hoped that he didn´t catch her mood change.
"Yeah we are a lot of girls there" Felix sensed that Poppy was unconfortable.
"But he surely also likes chess," he laughs "and if you ask me he only into one girl there. You know... the girl with the glasses?" Poppy gave him a look that indicated that that didn´t specify things in the slightest.
"Shoulder length brown hair...Ravenclaw, always has a bunch of buttens on her uniform...?"
"Why didnt you lead with that? You mean Filippa Bastler?" Poppy smirked. "Yeah that´s her name!" Felix smiled.
"Yeah shes really fun, I also think she doesn´t come for chess, she just comes to have good conversation. But whos your friend now?"
"Ralph Zonko."
"Yeah hes totaly into her. He always wants to play with her." Poppy smiled, realising that there was more between them than she thought, "Thats so cute!"
"You think, shes into him too?"
"Possible they talk for hours, moving very few pices."
Felix smiled from ear to ear, showing his still uneven teeth and slapped the blanket triumphantly. Poppy found it rediculus, how even as he moves his head in mock exitement, his blond hair was keeping its orderly chaos. By that Poppy remembered that she prommised Irma to drop her name during conversation mith Felix, how was she going to do that smothly?
"You should come to the club too! Its great fun and we currently are an uneven number so someone is always without partner."
"I don´know how to play. And i am really rubish at logical thinking." He said a little sad
"That´s fine. Most people dont play to win, its more like a social club, and besides by best friend Irma can explain it very well."
("Good Job Poppy!") she praised herself.
"Yeah, maby i will." He smiled
"Im gonna check on Minerva now."
She congratulated herself mentaly after the conversation with the schools sweetheart, that seemingly went great.
Poppy smiled back and crossed the room to see if Minerva had woken up.

When she entered the space behind the curtains.
Minerva was sitting up in bed.
