This is the safest place you've found


It seemed entering Hogwarts post lunch for student and herself had been ideal as Addie hurried herself to where she remember Nagde's abode was. The Scottish winds had not been missed by the former Hufflepuff but it was blocked partially by the scarf Joh had given her for Christmas. Dressed like her old self opposed to the usual decorum of fashion at Le Masque, Addie felt at ease and more like what she was accustomed. It didn't hurt either that those feelings increased as she neared the hut in view and stared upward at the castle's exterior. A sigh of nostalgia escaped lips; to be home where it all began. Relief filled her in reveling such thoughts.


Closing her eyes, the witch took in her surroundings. The wind was still awful, but the scents of spring returning, of the kitchens' faint hints of supper, the warmth of the sun, the distant sound of the lake nearby... Addie was relaxed within moments, the stiffness she sometimes held was gone. Opening eyes once more, the journey to the hut resumed, arriving a few minutes later as she walked slowly, enjoying the silence.


Approaching the door to the hut, she knocked twice and waited, readjusting the scarf for good measure. Sniffing briefly, her nose curled for a moment at the smell of sharp medicine and made a face. The face went away in an instant as the door began to open and the grin she often had worn as a Hufflepuff appeared.


"Hullo again."

"Addie!" Tulojow said in pleasant surprise, pulling the door open and stepping back to usher the young woman inside.  It wasn't often they received visits from previous students and a visit from Adelia Delacroix was an especially pleasant surprise.  The young woman's first year away from Hogwarts hadn't been an easy one so Tulojow was pleased to see the young woman was standing there, smiling as brightly as she was. 

"Come in!  Make yourself comfortable.  Feel free to toss any stray linens into the basket there.  It was a particularly busy week around here so I'm afraid some of the usual chores have been neglected." 

For the time being, the Hospital Hut was relatively quiet.  The only student still lingering in the cabin was a young second year who was sleeping off a potion assignment gone wrong.  "Couldn't tell you why they've been especially accident prone.  Full moon's still days away but such are the mysteries."

"Can I get you anything?  Water?  Tea?  Cocoa?  How are things going with you?"

"Ah, no problem to help you wash 'em, if it's what you'll be needing, Nagde," she chirped while entering the room, plucking up a few linens as asked and dumping them off into the wicker basket nearby. Her eyes looked towards the second year for a few moments, listening to Tulo's words about their condition. "Hopefully, they'll be just fine; after all, they've got a healer that's got a heart for students on top of making sure they get healthy, eh?" Addie assured with a grin.

Her eyes stayed on Tulo, nodding towards her drink inquiry. "Tea'll be fine, if it's not any kind of trouble, ma'am."

Another inhale, exhale and she felt even more at home. "I'm really glad to see you; after all, I haven't seen you since I graduated, hm?"
