Roxanne had a headache and she knew she only had herself to blame. Well, herself and all of the rest of Gryffindor, because she had been up until the wee hours of the morning celebrating Anna's victory in the Triwizard Tournament in the common room. She wished she could just sleep, but there was work to be done, headache or not. So she'd gone to the library, hoping it would be quiet, and not make the headache worse.

She was getting her Charms homework done when there was a thud behind her, and she turned around sharply to hiss "shhhh".

It wasn't very often that Caroline visited the library these days. In her youth, the library was a place she spent many hours studying anatomy and herbology but these days she had her own personal library in her office of her favorite books and subjects. But the closer the head nurse got to the ancient runes professor, the more Caro found herself wanting to study that specific subject more so she was in the library checking out books to look over to better get to know exactly what it was her friend taught.

The library had definitely changed over the years. There seemed to be a lot more tables and chairs now, closely placed together and close to the shelves. Caro had about four different books in her hand that she was on her way to check out when she was looking over the cover of the top one, thoughts of her professor friend flashing through her mind when she knocked clumsily into a bookshelf, elicited a 'hiss' from a student. Caro composed herself quickly, luckily she didn't drop any books and she turned to see the hiss come from none other than Roxanne Weasley. A kind smile spread across the nurse's lips. "Studying hard, Miss Weasley?"

Roxanne hadn't expected the person she shushed to be a member of staff, and she blushed when Madam Blacksmith was the one to answer her. "Yes, Madam Blacksmith. NEWTs are coming up fast, and I have a Charms assignment due soon." Unfortunately, the parchment on the table showed exactly how little she'd been able to get done - a mere six inches - and it was filled with the ink splotches of someone struggling to focus. She'd have to write it all out again, but she was trying.

Although, Madam Blacksmith was a nurse, and probably knew exactly what Gryffindor had been up to the night before. She could be a little honest - maybe she'd get some relief for it. "Just have a bit of a headache, that's all."

Caroline took notice of the color that came to the Gryffindor's cheeks and she smiled kindly at the student. Caro knew that the stress of exams were spreading around; she had already had several students come to her with massive headaches. She was no stranger to the stress of exam time. "Charms?" She repeated with the raising of her eyebrow. She couldn't help the small smile that slowly spread across her lips as Roxanne said she had a headache. Caro had a feeling it wasn't just the Charms assignment giving her a headache. Roxanne Weasley was very involved in extra curriculars; from the BSU, to Quidditch, and she had a sneaking suspicion she was somehow involved with the posters around school. "Well, I have the perfect remedy for headches, Roxanne, if you need one." She moved closer to the Gryffindor, offering her the kind smile she wore.
