A Bad Hair Day

[Aylen Hawkins]

A redhead suddenly burst into the Hospital Wing. If one looked at him from one side, he seemed all right, but from the other, one could clearly see he had a problem, albeit not a serious one.

Some patients took one look at him and snorted into their pillows. Aylen glared at them, but it only made him look more comical. It was difficult to make your point with half your head haphazardly shaved. He muttered darkly something about personally strangling someone.

"Kasey," Aylen called ignoring the giggles the best he could. "I need some help!"

[~xx.Fuu.xx~]

Fuu walked into the hospitial wing to pick up somthing for a friend. When she walked in she noticed a boy he looked fin at first the she looked at him again. She paused and tried not to laugh but she couldnt resist. After she calmed down she walked over to him.

"Um, are you okay?" she asked smiling and trying to with hold the giggles.

[Anna Tomlin]

Anna ran into the Hospital Wing behind Aylen. "What's your rush?" Anna asked him, "It's only your hair!" she laughed. "We need the nurse.. Speaking of which... where is she??" Anna wondered.

[Ashlle G. Rainier]

Ashlle looked up from the potions she was filing in the Potion closet.

"I am the Nursing Temp since Miss Kasey is out." she told the three students. Even though she was younger than most of the (a second year) she had been chosen along with Amy Stevens to help out while Kasey was on maternity leave.
"If you wish you may call me Miss Ashlle" she told them coming forward. "Now what seems to be the trouble . . ." it was only then that she noticed Aylen's hair ". . . besides your obvious lake of tresses I mean." Unlike the others Ashlle was remaining dead serious about the matter.

If Aylen had indeed come about his mane she would of course help but she had to know if the hair was just a symptom of an underlying problem or not.

And please forgive my lack of muse...)
"Only my hair?!" Aylen complained loudly. "Half my head is shaved. Do you think I can walk around like this?!"
At this point, a fellow Gryffindor walked up to the group and announced herself as a temporary nurse. Aylen had mistaken her for an ordinary student, at first, and looked blankly at Ashlle. "My hair," he said planitively. "Someone accidentally shaved it off. Do we have hair growth potion or anything?"

[Carrie]

"It'll grow back in time, I promise!" A somewhat cheerful voice sounded from the office as Carrie came out, trying to shuffle a pile of parchments into one direction to put them into a folder. "Though I think it looks quite cool. You know, start off a new fashion trend or something?"

Shaking her head lightly, the brown haired nurse summoned a chair over. "Okay sit down." Smiling at Aslle, Carrie carried on: "I'll let you take it from here."

Although she had heard that Ashlle had worked in the Wing before, Carrie was curious to see how she would deal with this. There was a growth potion in the cupboard.. but if she would use that, or a simple charm, remained to be seen

[Ashlle G. Rainier]

"Thank you Miss Carrie" said Ashlle still quite serious.
"First of all if you hate it so much I'm sure you're with to have it grow back is strong. Therefore being a magical person, it most likely will grow back sooner than usual for say any other creature." She seemed to be giving a lecture on Wizards hair but her word had a point.

"Still if your bent on helping it along, I can cast a 'Potential' charm on your head. Then all you do is concentrate on how long you want your hair to be and it will grow that length. Unfortunately you'll have to get the other side cut afterward because the spell covers your head completely and the rest of your hair will gown the same as the -ahem- shaved side."

The she frowned rather curiously.
"How does one 'accidentally' shave his hair? Surely it was a prank, right?"

[Anna Tomlin]

Anna smiled at Alyen's outburst about her comment, "You're right. I'd probably be flipping just as much as you are, if I had half my hair shaved off...accidentally," Anna said remembering how he'd slipped, and Ark wrapped bandages around his head... and then he had to cut them off... along with half of his hair... "But don't worry, I'm sure it'll grow back to how it was.." Anna started, then muttered, "eventually..." She gave a quick smile to her crazy friend and then her eyes shot back up to his head and Anna could help but giggle. His hair was flat in some spots from the bandages and the other spots were either gone, or gone wild.

[Aylen Hawkins]

Aylen coughed loudly, interrupting the girls' conversation. "Can we get my hair back, please?" he pleaded. "And this spell...it won't accelerate...um...other bits, will it?" The Gryffindor really did seem intent on getting his hair back the way it was. He did look rather comical with his pleading and half-shaved head.

(ooc: Muse ran off...)

[Ashlle G. Rainier]

"No, it wont, because one: I'm only placing the spell on you head and not on other 'bits' and two: because we will both be thinking only of your hair and intent is half the process." Ashlle looked at him rather disapprovingly.

"I can't get to work if you don't sit down." she said indicating the chair. Then, out of curiosity;
"If you don't mind my asking what other bits are you speaking of?"
Hopefully not naughty bits she thought to herself.

[Aylen Hawkins]

"Dude," Aylen said seriously. "Armpit hair is just not cool." He flopped down upon the indicated chair and looked at Ashlle expectantly. "What other bits did you think?" he asked. The redhead soon seemed to come up with his own answer as his face arranged itself into a very peculiar expression.

[Ashlle G. Rainier]

But all Ashlle replied was:
"You are older than I and a boy and would know better than me what sort of bits a boy like yourself would like or not like . . . enhanced. However I will agree with you that armpit hair is not desirable."

Once he's turned back around Ashlle got her Healers book out of her pocket, Mouthed the correct spell a couple of times to be sure she had it right then:

~"Caesaries"~

She said gently touching his head in the spots shown on the diagram in her book. What was left of Aylen's hair began to grow very shiny like it was wet.

"Now concentrate on how long you want it to be and it will grow," she told him, "It should take only about five minutes. I suggest you remain seated till it's finished. The less distraction, the better the results."

[Aylen Hawkins]

An itchy feeling flowed over Aylen's head as the spell took effect. "I suggest you remain seated.." Ashlle instructed him. The boy nodded at the direction, resisting the urge to scratch his scalp. His mind couldn't help but wander, no matter how hard he tried to concentrate. He screwed his eyes shut in an effort to boost his concentration.

A few minutes later, Aylen could see red locks falling about his shoulders. If he had looked into a mirror, he would have seen someone rather similar to a 80’s muggle rock star. (ooc: *Coughs* Sound familiar, Ashlle? ) “Erm, I think I concentrated a bit too much,” Aylen grinned. His brightened mood seemed to be directly connected with the regeneration of his hair.

[Ashlle G. Rainier]

OOC: ;D

BIC: The shiny look had now left Aylen's locks which, according to the directions, meant that the spell-work was complete.

"Well" she said happily " now all that's left is to go get yourself a hair cut, so you can get to looking back to normal. This side is a bit longer than this side even if you wanted to keep it long, you'd still want it to be balanced. Might I suggest Belle's Hair Salon down in Hogsmeade? I hear they do good work."

She smiled, happy to have helped her first patient so successfully.

[Aylen Hawkins]

"Thanks a lot, Ashlle. I owe you one," the newly restored redhead grinned. He stuck his tongue out playfully at those who had been snickering at him.

(ooc: Muse really ran off this time...*chases after it*)
