Professor Woods had sent Kitty to the Hospital wing after class with a basket full of potions for the nurse. Kitty had grinned at the young teacher, excited to be given such an important task. She was about to head out of the wing when a sniffle brought her up short.

Kitty stopped and looked around, the sound seemed to be coming from the other side of the fabric curtain. She wondered if whoever was behind it needed the nurse and so she stepped around it and found herself looking down at Miss Pendergast, one of her house's first years. Well now she certainly had to see what was wrong. It'd be like letting a little sister cry unconsoled. Not that Kitty would know that from how her own sisters behaved nor the fact that she was indeed the youngest sibling, but it seemed to be something one would know. "Is there anything I can do to help?" She asked her housemate kindly, coming to stand next to the younger girl.
