September 15, 1893 — St. Mungo's
It was well after midnight before the first lull of the carnage arrived. The nauseating scent of blood hung heavy throughout every room and hall of the hospital. However, none had had time to worry about cleaning charms in the chaos. No one had had any time to breathe or complete their notes or any other nonsense. And now that some time had finally arrived Rosalie found herself completely unable to move from the spot on the wall she'd sagged down against once being given the okay to take a minute by her supervisior.
Her healer's robes were drenched and stained with a mixture of blood, sweat and ash. Her face and hair were likely both darkened by soot. Dragons in London. There were dragons in the city she'd come to over the past three years. She couldn't fathom how such an incident occurred, she couldn't understand how the ministry had failed them so spectacularly that such a tragedy was even a possibility. Hundreds would die in this attack, hundreds had likely already died. And the muggles — they would be lucky if the muggles didn't rise against them again.
Rosie was bordering on the verge of hysteria when a pair of similarly stained trousers suddenly blocked her line of sight, forcing her to look up at the man. She recognized him as another healer from one of the departments she didn't consider but couldn't recall his name nor did she comprehend what he said with all the noise in her head. "I'm sorry, could you repeat that?" She asked, dread already settling deep in her gut at the thought of having to return to work so soon after sitting.
