Open Nothing of my own

[Agnes Baros]

Agnes had just finished another shift at the hospital wing, and while she was finding the knowledge invaluable, she couldn't help but feel like a puppet on display. Every part of her life was currently being dictated by her parents; was there really anything left that she was doing for her own enjoyment? From how she presented herself, her friends, her future career, it was all planned out for her and there was nothing she could do to risk swaying the decision. Admittedly it had been Agnes' decision to go into medicine, but only because she didn't want to join the force of Scitorari. She didn't know what she wanted, she'd never really been given the chance to find out. On her mind there was just Elsie, and even after spending so long keeping her distance from the Ravenclaw, she refused to leave it and kept the fourth year questioning her own ability to stay on track. Of course her parents would never agree to something like that, and she could never tell them than Elsie was anything more than just a friend, but Agnes was tired of feeling as though she had nothing of her own. She walked out the hospital wing, headed downstairs to her common room, her routine was nothing more than work that eventually would pay off in someone else's favour. Was this really all she was good for, and everything she had to offer? Despite her head being held high, she knew it was all just a facade that eventually would come crumbling down around her, the only question would be, when? ​

 

[Zennon Baros]

Zennon was tired. Working at the Hospital Wing was hard sometimes, and he sometimes didn't like seeing all the sick people, but it was something he knew he would have to get used to if he wanted to be a Healer. After all, that would be what he would be dealing with, though he still wasn't quite sure on what area he would like to specialise in, he was looking forward to really learning the ropes. It was all really exciting. He noticed Agnieszka was leaving as well and jogged to catch up to his sister's best friend. Elsie didn't talk much about her, but he could tell they were really close. "Agnieszka!" He called, falling into step beside her. "You've been in the Hospital Wing for a while now, yeah? Are you looking at becoming a Healer when you graduate as well?" If so, they'd be working together probably. It would be good to get to know his potential future co-workers and making friends would be a good start. He didn't know much about the girl, outside of her friendship with Elsie, but she was a Slytherin so he'd seen her around a bit. He didn't see any reason why they wouldn't get along some.​
