There's sand in my popcorn.

[ A slight shrug, and she dumps the handful before setting the bucket aside. She seems to have not noticed the fact that she's wearing makeup, a short red dress, or fishnets. Instead, she's acting like it's a totally normal day. And it is. It's just... sexier than usual. ]

I guess I shouldn't be eating popcorn before lunch anyway. I'll pick some more up later; hopefully it'll be sand-free.

((ooc: Feel free to reply to her post or to bump into her out and about; she'll be buying herself some popcorn and doing a few other things before heading home. Also this is why I shouldn't write posts at 2 am.))

Sixth and seventh-year students at Hogwarts can choose to focus on intensive healing courses if they so desire, and then it's likely they'll move on to an internship at St. Mungo's or another magical hospital for an internship.

Is that what you mean?

[boutant]

... Something like that.

[ Note to self: never go to a wizard doctor. ]

Back where I'm from, it takes something like eight years. Four years of pre-med, then four years of medical school and whatever you're going to focus on. I think.

I suppose it's a lot more difficult without magic. More guesswork.

It can be harder to diagnose things, yeah. Doctors are also really afraid of getting things wrong, because people are sue-happy, and then little things can get super expensive.

[aperfectthird]

'Sue-happy?'

action;

[boutant]

Oh, uh-- lawsuits.

[ Percy please tell her you know what a lawsuit is... ]

Legal action against the doctor?

action;

[aperfectthird]

Oh, yes, of course. Yes, I can imagine without a magical diagnosis, it's much easier to get things wrong.

There are tests, of course, but those aren't always accurate. It's a little unnerving sometimes.

[Memo: never go to a Muggle doctor.]

I sincerely hope I never fall ill in this city.

If you do, ask after Dr. Wilson or Dr. Chase. They're good at what they do, in my experience.

[aperfectthird]

Dr. Chase. He's the one who posted those - pictures to the network, isn't he?

[boutant]

The x-rays?

action;

[aperfectthird]

Yes. Those.

action;

[boutant]

Yeah, that's him. He has some interesting stories, too.

action;

[aperfectthird]

I presume by 'interesting' you mean 'ones you wish you hadn't heard.'

action;

[boutant]

... Well, I thought they were interesting, but possibly.

action;

[aperfectthird]

We all have different definitions of 'interesting.' My brothers, for instance, feel that flinging themselves about on a broom is quite interesting.

action;

[boutant]

Your sister does, too. [ Just saying. ]

action;

[aperfectthird]

Which is another thing I will never, ever understand.

Adrenaline, exercise... there could be a few different reasons.

Though I think in the case of Fred and George, they just like hitting things.

action;

[aperfectthird]

Yes, that's been a lifelong passion of theirs; hitting things as hard as they can as often as they could.

[ That sounds vaguely dirty, considering how her day went when George saw her in these fishnets, but she's not going to point that out. ]

I really should introduce them to baseball one of these days.
