The beginning of a new life!

Sophia apperated to St. Mungo's to start her Healer Training to become a healer just like her mother as well as Khaat, Brian and Robert was. Sophia was so excited that she was basically beaming with joy. Sophia was only a couple of months from graduating but Robert and Khaat told her she could go ahead and start her training now. Taking the elevator to Khaat's office she knocked on the door and waited for Khaat to tell her to come in. "Hello Khaat it's me Sophia, I'm reporting in for my Healer training may I please come in?"Sophia as ked her softly.

Sophia was nervous but excited at the same time, she just hoped she didn't do any accidental magic seeing how she just gotten her powers back not to long ago. She would be so embarass if she changed into her wolf wolf form or changed one of the healers hair blue or something like that. Swallowing hard she straighten red robe her mother gotten for her a couple of days before and waited for Khaat's approval to come in. "Sophia relax, it's just Khaat and probably Robert that's all, nothing to be nervous about your a Gryffindor for crying out loud!"Sophia thought to herself. But Sophia was still nervous for she didn't want to make any mistakes here although she sure she was seeing how she was a newbie here.

"Come in, Sophia," Khaat said, always glad for a chance to talk to her. "Good to see you again. Welcome aboard! So, how well do you know your way around St. Mungos since we've remodeled? I presume you know the basics, but should we go tour the place? I think my father is delivering a baby, so he might be awhile, but I know he planned on joining us. It looks like your paperwork is all in order, so we're all good there. By the way, your new work clothes look very nice. Makes you look very professional. Maybe we should start in the healer's lounge with some tea or something to drink. Its a bit less formal there."

She rose from her desk and went to the door. "its just down the hall. Come with me. " She led the way to the lounge and pointed out the full refreshment bar. "Help yourself. I'm, of course, going for the french roast coffee--I'm addicted to it."

"Glad to see you to Khaat, I'm glad your back to normal self once again."said Sophia giving her a soft warm smile. Sophia smiled when she told her she looked very professional. "Oh thankyou Khaat my mom brought me it, she knew how much I lved Gryffindor so she gotten it Gryffindor colors."said Sophia smiling. Sophia nodded and followed her down the hall to the Healers Lounge as her red robe whipped behind her as she walked. "Wow... very cozy and roomy in here."said Sophia as she sat down on the couch. "Do you spend alot of time in here?"Sophia asked her softly as she gotten up and grabbed a cup and walked over towards the cappuccino and put her cup under it and pushed the french vanilla cappuccino as it poured in her cup.

"Mom gotten me addicted to this, and I love it!"said Sophia laughing her tinkling bell laugh. "So you'll pretty much catch me drinking alot of this!"said Sophia gustering to her cup as she put a lid on it. As she took her seat back on the couch she took a sip of her cappuccino and waited for Khaat to show her more of the place. Sophia couldn't wait to get started and actually become a healer. "I'm so excited Khaat, I can't believe I'm actually becoming a healer!'said Sophia happily.

"I don't get to spend nearly as much time here as I like. That's why I have a coffee pot of my own in my office. I'm afraid I am a hopeless caffeine addict. You should have heard how many times my father lectured me about that while I was pregnant with Abbey," Khaat smiled. "I try to get here as often as I can so that staff doesn't think I'm stuffy or arrogant, but if I have free time here, its generally in the middle of the night. My fahter and I sometimes stay here for days at a time and live out of our offices and shower in the healer's cleanup area in the surgical wing. That's probably our less glamourous moments.

"Come. I'll show you my father's office. He's your direct supervisor and the one who will be making your work schedule and handling a lot of your training. When he's not in his office, he's on the floor working with patients or down in his potions lab. "

She showed Sophia her father's office which was next to Khaat's own, and showed her the other rooms on the floor--the training rooms for staff and the daycare center for young children of employees. She explained that the daycare center would accept any employee's child age birth to 10 during the employee's work shift at no cost to them.

"Oh, by the way, so you know, we have the medical records of almost every witch and wizard in this half of the world. They are under the strictest security we can design and expertly hidden. If you ever need a file on a past patient, no one has access to the records room except my father or me. I know that's a big pain in the butt, but it does protect us."

Mariana came to St.Mungo's for no reason in particular or maybe yes though she still had doubts about what she wanted to do. Her graduation was only few days away so she realized that after school she would need to find a job. It was a bit noisy in the corridor. Mariana could hear Khaat's voice ringing through the hall though she couldn;t understand anything because there were alot of chatting patients around.

Instead of speeding up to catch her, she just moved around like she wanted to see what was Khaat up to this time. Her mother was a famous healer while she was alive. That made her desire to try even harder. As she approached to Khaat's voice she distinguished another familiar voice among the crowd. It was her like sister friend Sophia which made her confused untill she heard part of what they were talking about.

"You wouldn't happen to have room for another intern there would you?" she asked trying to sound j0king though she wasn't sure if she was succeesseding in her intention.

"Mari!" Khaat was delighted. "Of course. With the healing skills that run in your families, you and Sophia should both make fine healers. I'm just taking Sophia on a tour to get her familiar with the place. I've remodeled it quite a lot. You can join us if you want and then I'll get your application paperwork along the way. You'll need to get some healer's robes, and we've discontinued the lime green ones from years ago. Interns can wear any color they like. Once you're through your internship, you'll wear white robes.

"As I was telling Sophia, my father Robert is the Chief of Staff here, and that means he is responsible for the direct supervision of all healers and for making the work schedules. He'll also be responsible for the lion's share of your training, although you both will be shadowing as many healers as we can arrange you to do. Soph, let's back up a bit so Mari can get on the same page with us."

Khaat walked back down the hallway, explaining that she had started the tour on the top floor because there were no patient rooms here and a lot of staff resources. The old tea room had been moved to the ground floor now and in its place was the healer's lounge. She showed Mari her office and her father's like she had Sophia, as well as the training rooms, the healer's lounge, and the daycare center. She repeated her explanation about how all the patients' medical charts were locked away in a secret, secured location that only she herself and Robert had access to.

"Shall we go to the fourth floor now?" Khaat asked, "Feel free to stop me if you have any questions."

Sophia laughed her tinkling bell laugh as Khaat said she was addicted to caffeine. "Oh no need to worry Khaat 'm addicted to caffine as well, I have to have it!"said Sophia laughing. As Khaat showed her farther's office then her and the training room Sophia looked around the place amazed at how big it was. "Oh that's no problem Khaat, I'll just ask you or Robert for any medical records I need no matter what."said Sophia softly. As she seen Marian walking towards them she gave her a soft warm smile and waved at her.

"Why hello Mari, are you planning on being a healer as well? I would love to have one of my best friends working along with me!"said Sophia softly. Sophia nodded when Khaat asked if they shall go to the first floor. "Yes we shall Khaat, I'm ready to see more of this place!"said Sophia happily. "Oh by the way Khaat, my mother said she'll help with some of my healing training if you and Robert were to busy to train me and if you two were ok by it."said Sophia softly. "Although, I would love to be train by all three of you I know I will know alot with all three of yall training me."said Sophia softy.

Mariana was glad for not interupting anything important like she used to do around school all the time. Sometimes by accident and sometimes on purpose. "Well i am pretty familiar with St.Mungo's building and most of the rooms inside since i always sooner or later finish here for different reasons." she commented for herself not sure if that had to do with anything that was on schedule today.

As Sophia waved to her she smiled and waved back to show she saw that. "Hi sis i didn't expect to see you here. I decided to give it a shot though i wanted to be an auror, but then i gave up. I wonder if i'll make a good healer." Mari replied looking around as Khaat was showing them around. She tried as hard as possible to give full concetration to what Khaat was saying along the way.

It felt pretty relaxing to be here right now even though it was a hospital and Mari used not to like those. "Oh here i got one Khaat. Do we get to baby-sit sometimes?" she asked wondering how weird did that sound though she thought it was just something ro make someone laugh.

Khaat laughed a bit, "We actually have gotten short staffed in the daycare center once or twice for some pretty strange reasons. Oh, and there is also the nursery for newborns and the pediatrics wing. That's a really wonderful part of the hospital. And we do have some adults that sometimes act like they need babysitters. Let's go down to the next floor."

She took them on the elevator down to the fourth floor. "This is the one floor where we restrict admissions or exits," Khaat said. "The floo does not work to access this floor, and apparating is restricted to hospital personnel only. It is protected by some very powerful charms. No one comes onto or leaves this floor without an escort--not ever.

"This floor only holds two departments--the unit for those patients that have some sort of contagious illness, so that we don't spread it. And the psychiatric department is here. That department has additional lockdown capabilities even beyond the controls to access the floors. The only place in the wizarding world that has more restrictions than our psychiatric unit, that I know of anyway, is Azkaban. We do receive injured or ill patients from Azkaban on occasion, and we always hold them in the psychiatric wing because it is very, very secure. As beginning healers, you will not be assigned to this floor by yourself. You will only be allowed here in the company of a more experienced healer, for your own protection until your training is complete. This will be one of the last floors you will train on because we want you to gain a well rounded sort of training in all sorts of medical matters so that you are well prepared for anything you might see or be called upon to do on this floor when you do work up here. "

She showed them the contagious ward and then showed them the psychiatric unit so that they would know and experience how secure it was. She believed they needed to know that they were safe when they were working on the other floors.

"Questions? Or shall we go to the third floor?"

Sophia nodded as she told her about the floors and how they treated people from Azkaban which she didn't doubt that they did. Sophia shook her head when Khaat asked if they were anymore questions. "Nope I'm good, lets head to the third floor."said Sophia softly wanting to kindof get off this floor. "My mom said she worked on this floor and she gotten attack by a person in Azkaban before."said Sophia softly. "Have you ever been attack on this floor Khaat?"Sophia asked her softly.
