In The Fight To Survive (Golden Trio Era) {4}

Bandage Bound

"Right, I'll need a lot of space to work, one of you can stay but if you're squeamish don't volunteer because this won't be pretty." Andromeda ordered as she evaluated the scene and clocked Mikayla's most obvious injury. It was Remus who got to stay, he is the most experienced person there with first aid after Andromeda after spending years tending his own wounds. Fred and her friends, only left after Mikayla promised the others that she would be okay, and asking them to look after George and focus on evaluating the nights events.

Harry passed Andromeda Mikayla's First Aid box as he walked out, casting one last look over to his best friend, he looked scared and guilty. Mikayla took a mental note to talk to him later, he has to know that none of what happened tonight was his fault, she can't have him thinking she got hurt because of him. Andromeda stood over Mikayla, offering the blonde a gentle smile before getting to work on checking her vitals, all was normal but her respiration rate which was lower than usual. Mikayla explained to her that slow deep breaths hurt her less than hurried ones, and helps her stay coherent on what's going instead of spiralling into a panic attack.

Andromeda hummed, scribbling down something into her notebook before placing the back of hand on Mikayla's forehead, checking for a fever. "They got you good. I need you to tell me what they managed to hit you with." Mikayla listed out the spells that had been inflicted on her, even if they weren't affective such as the Cruciatus curse Bellatrix had sent her way. Remus cringed at the details, wanting nothing more than to take Mikayla's hand and comfort her, as she was undoubtably in immense pain, but couldn't due to the splinters that riddled her skin.

Andromeda worked in silence, riffling through Mikayla's First Aid box and handing the blonde multiple vials to drink. The pain began to slowly ease and Mikayla let out a sigh of relief, not even wincing as Andromeda poked around her stung shoulder, spiky hands or the arrow. "Remus, I'm going to need you to hold her down so that she in completely still. I'm going to pull it the rest of the way through and the numbing solution can only do so much to ease the pain." Remus nodded his head, and placed a hand on Mikayla's hip, as well as her shoulder and pushing her against the table.

"Good... on three." Andromeda planned, Mikayla wincing at the idea of getting a countdown before Andromeda just said "three" completely skipping one and two, and pulled the arrow out. Mikayla screamed out in agony, tears forming in her eyes as Remus held her still, black spots blurring her vision before she falls unconscious. Andromeda quickly poured some CC into the open wound that was now spurting out blood again, "open her mouth." Andromeda instructed Remus, who did it without hesitation and Andromeda poured a blend of CC, Blood Replenishing potion and dreamless sleeping draught down Mikayla's throat.

While Mikayla is still unconscious, Andromeda wrapped a tight bandage around Mikayla's arrow wound, before moving on to treat her shoulder. The healer performs the counter-curse to the stinging hex, and rubs some soothing balm on to Mikayla's inflicted shoulder. Her shoulder was red, slightly swollen and covered in little bumps that looked like a nettle sting, because her skin was irritated from the hexes prolonged affect. Andromeda bound Mikayla's shoulder with a bandage because it will become itchy as it heals, and the bandage stops Mikayla from being able to scratch it. Lastly, she moved to treat Mikayla's hand, using a tweezers to remove every splinter one by one, and mumbling healing spells as she did so, before wrapping up both of her hands.

"Now what?" Remus asked when Andromeda began cleaning up the mess she had made using Mikayla's medical equipment. "Now, we get her somewhere comfortable and quiet to rest. I suspect that she'll be out of it for the next couple of hours at least, all that medication will make her a little delirious. Someone should keep watch over her tonight and make sure she isn't experiencing any nasty side effects or moving around too much. I suspect that she'll make a full recovery, but I'll return in the morning to come and check on her anyways." Andromeda looks at her watch, "lets say, nine." Remus agrees to the time immediately.
