Since birth, Galen had been in and out of the hospital-- allergies, sicknesses, inexplicable rashes and patterns or colorings that were later attributed to the metamorphmagus gene. And of course-- heart issues. Usually Galen was fine. With magical medicines, his heart was mostly asymptomatic. But when he got excited and his heart rate went up--as little boys were ought to do-- it tended to not want to stop going up. Galen had a bad habit of conveniently forgetting to take his medicines. But refills had to be acquired, and he’d have to get used to taking it on his own at school. Boo.
A few years ago, Vera would have insisted on coming along. She didn’t want to, and would grumble and frown the entire time, but she would come, and pay more attention than Galen himself. She asked questions Galen didn’t know to ask. But now, his mum accompanied him to these visits, and it was impossible not to smile around Aileas. Plus taking medicine with Aileas was much more fun!
“Mumma, after this can we get ice cream? And more paint. For the birdhouses,” he reminded, swinging his legs and crinkling the paper. He smiled mischievously at Wally sitting beside him-- Galen really shouldn’t have ice cream. But having someone also getting checked up on--even if they didn’t have the same procedures-- made the whole process seem more normal. And getting ice cream after a doctor’s visit just felt….fun!
The moment the door opened, Galen sat up straight. Sparse fur patterned over his arms, and his hair stood up in two long strands on his head--like alien antennas, or rabbit ears. “Healer Rabbit!” he cheered. ”I’m starting at Hogwarts next week,” he explained. ”So we thought I should get a last check up and Wally is getting checked up too! How are you, Healer Rabbit?

Aileas was on doctor duty today, since Nova was working on an important case for a very important client. Hopefully they did well. Vera had gone into work with Nova, offering to help categorize notes and... whatever else lawyers did before big cases. Aileas had tried to understand, but something about the job just made her brain disconnect. Instead, she had Wally and Galen in tow, and was taking the boys to St Mungo's for an end-of-summer checkup. It was especially important for Galen, with his heart problems and everything else. Luckily, the boys had a very sweet healer, which particularly helped with Wally's fears around doctors.
While waiting on the check-up to begin, Galen asked if they could get ice cream and paint for the birdhouses they'd been building. Wally then chimed in, saying he'd try not to be a jerk, in order to earn ice cream. "Ay coorse, silly wee jimmies. Eh'd be canty tae tak' us fur ice cream efter we gie dain. An' dornt fash yerse, dumplin'. Thaur willnae be anythin' scary abit the-day." She grinned brightly, gently ruffling Wally's hair.
A few seconds later, the door opened, showing their favorite healer, Mr Thompson. Galen greeted him by calling him Healer Rabbit, his chosen name for the man. He happily explained that he was going to Hogwarts next week, and that they'd both be getting checked out. To his credit, the man offered a bright smile, ever happy to see his patients. In fact, Aileas wasn't entirely sure she'd ever seen the man frown before... weird.
Lyall nodded along as Galen spoke, gently patting him on the shoulder. "There's no way you're already off to Hogwarts! I remember when you were only little bitty! If you're going off to Hogwarts, it means that I'm getting old." He offered a laugh, then grinned over at Wally. He knew the younger boy's aversion to needles, and hospitals in general. It made sense, even if he hadn't had a poor background. Hospitals could be scary for anyone, even grown-ups. "And don't worry, Wally. Nothing scary about today. Just lots of blinky lights and looking over you." He nodded, hoping his words helped calm the boy in some way. "I'm doing well, thanks, buddy! Let's get started so you guys can get on your way." He waved his wand over the boy, watching a few colorful lights sparkle up.

”You’re not a jerk!” Galen chirped immediately when Wally offered. He frowned a little and held his brother’s hand, hoping today there really wasn’t any shots. Convincing Wally he wasn’t bad was a continued effort, but he never seemed to tired of it. With the confirmation that Aileas was on board for ice cream, Galen’s hair turned pink and poofy, resembling the cotton candy he knew Wally enjoyed. ”It’ll be fine, Healer Rabbit usually just waves his wand at us and talks about the images in the air. You remember him? We always get to pet him after.”
Healer Rabbit--Galen thought his real name was Healer Lovely Thumper or something like that-- laughed when he came in, saying he was getting old. ”Not old, just wise,” Galen added on with a smile. "You don't look any older than when I first remember you!"
Healer Rabbit offered Wally some calming reassurance as well, and confirmed today was just going to be a blinky lights kind of visit. Good! He squeezed Wally's hand again encouragingly.
When promped, Galen laid back on the sheet to let Healer Rabbit wave his wand over. A few colorful lights sparkled up, which was meaningless to Galen, but it must have been part of Healer training. Physically, the young metamorphmagus was fine--better than usual, actually-- continuing a trend since he had been adopted three years ago. It might have something to do with actually regularly taking his medicine instead of fighting his sister over it. Or it was getting out more often-- there was plenty to do in the orchards on the Saylor Farm, and Nova had been teaching the kids to swim at their pool, and while Galen wasn’t great at it, the splashing around was definitely good exercise. And when he couldn’t do more, he’d cling onto Aileas’s floatie and talk about the colors of the sky and whether aliens had swimming pools in space.
Galen shifted a little, staring at the lights. He had finally figured out that there was one particular sequence of lights that was supposed to be his heart and the extra pathways in it. It didn’t look any different to him, but the pathways were very prominently there-- still two, showing no signs of change even with the better blood content and overall health. It just meant his heart issue wasn’t going to just go away.
”When I go to Hogwarts, will you be there to make more of the medicines?” he asked, acknowledging the daily potion and occasionally other herbal supplements for the first time.

Lyall couldn't help but chuckle when Galen said he wasn't old, but wise. He proceeded to say that Lyall didn't look any older than when they'd first met, which was a lovely sentiment. "Aw, thanks! But, we've both gotten older. As long as we stay healthy, we'll keep pushing on." He offered a small grin, then set to work, helping the boy to lay back as he started the process of checking the boy's health. After monitoring the various lights, he hummed softly, jotting down notes on his clipboard.
After explaining that he was healthy, with nothing new to worry over, Galen asked about his medication at Hogwarts. "I won't be there, no, but don't you worry. Your mom already reached out to me, and I referred them over to the Healers at Hogwarts. One of them, Madame Kavanaugh, is going to be your main healer, and will be helping with all your medications." He offered a hand to help the boy sit up. "Other than that, you can always send letters my way, and I'll help you the best way I'm able. I'll also be here over winter and summers for visits too. Don't worry, you'll be in the best hands."
Once he'd assisted, he helped Galen off the table, then turned to his younger brother. "Alright, Wally. I know you're not too excited, but it'll only take a few minutes. Afterward, I put new toys in the prize box, so you can both pick some prizes. And I've got all kinds of stickers. Hop on up here, and we'll get you taken care of." He offered a grin, flipping to the second page on his clipboard. He had less information on Wally, other than that the boy had started his journey malnourished and a bit dehydrated. Since then, Lyall had watched his health improve, most likely due to the Saylors, who seemed to take excellent care of all three kids.

Healer Rabbit brought up that they had gotten older, but as long as they stayed healthy, they could keep pushing on. That was a good sentiment! Galen returned the smile with a cheerful grin.
Galen quietly took in what Healer Rabbit said about being healthy and not needing to worry over other things. Unfortunately that didn’t mean he could stop taking the daily potion. He nodded, muttering ”Madame Kavanaugh, Madame Kavanaugh” to remember the name. Even if he didn’t look forward to the check ups, it would be nice to say hello early on.
He slipped off the table and gave Healer Rabbit a hug before swapping places with Wally and sitting next to Aileas. He flashed Wally a supportive grin, hair fluffing out and lightning to its natural brown show relaxed and calm.
Galen worried about Wally’s health still sometimes. He remembered how skinny and underweight Wally had been when they first met at Wool’s, and with ribs visible just under a thin layer of skin. Wally used to steal snacks, eating everything like it was his last meal. Things seemed better? The boys only stole each other’s food as playful now. He knew Wally’s birth parents had seriously sucked and not fed him. He wished sometimes he could have magically given his future brother food then; No one should go hungry!
Wally piped up with a question of his own as Healer Rabbit started the examination. Galen turned his head curiously, hair and fur darkening thoughtfully. Was Wally worried about not having magic? Galen hadn’t thought about it overmuch--Vera didn’t go to magic school, but her memory was pretty magical. Aileas wasn’t a witch, but she was a magical personality! He hoped Wally was a wizard though. It sucked enough that they were just far apart in age that they wouldn’t get to go to school this year together, but to never go to school together would be a tragedy!

Lyall finished his notes on Galen's condition, offering a small grin when the boy quietly chanted the name of the healer at Hogwarts. "Don't worry, Madame Kavanagh won't be the only one. There's also Madame Borson and Mister Owens. They're all three excellent, and just wonderful people. Plus, if you ever need to, you can always send me an owl. I'd be more than happy to help however I can." He smiled, gently ruffling the boy's messy hair.
After Galen had climbed down, Wally took his place, though he looked nervous as always. Perhaps just the difference of one growing up in and out of the hospital, while the other only had a medical record as far back as he'd been moved to Wool's. Once he was settled, Lyall twirled his wand again, watching the various colors and patterns emerge. He was about to begin his notes on the second page of his clipboard, but his movement was interrupted. Wally had a question? It was rare, but the healer always tried to answer questions as best he could. It wasn't until the question was asked that Lyall had a second of hesitation. Dark eyes glanced over at Aileas, who grinned. What a peculiar sign. "Well, no, the scan doesn't show magical ability. I do, however, have a strong belief that you'll be joining Galen next year. Everything I've heard, and all my years of experience say you're a wizard. And don't worry, I also came from a non-magical family, so I understand it can all be a bit overwhelming. I also know that you have a wonderful new family, who will love you no matter what."
He offered a reassuring smile, gently patting the boy on the shoulder. No one should have to live as though they're not going to be chosen. Besides, Lyall wasn't stupid, and had known for a while that it was highly likely Wally would make the list of Hogwarts students. Between what his parents said of his subtle brand of accidental magic and the fact that Ministry workers took him from his first family and to Wool's. Almost everyone at Wool's Orphanage was either magical, or from a magical family. Hopefully Wally would accept his words and believe he'd be sent a letter soon.

☻☺GALEN EZREAL SAYLORfirst year || unsorted || halfblood metamorphmagus Adventurer's Guild chronicler || Art Club cartoonist Cooking Club pancake mixer || Quidditch fan _______________ Owling Healer Rabbit! Galen wondered why he had never thought of that before--he loved sending messages to his old friends from Wool’s whenever he could already. He already had promised to owl Wally as much as possible, but the invitation to owl his favorite healer was also fun.
Galen glanced over at his mumma when the healer did, wondering if Aileas knew something they didn’t. He relaxed and brightened--literally turning a more pastel orange--when Healer Thompson said he believed Wally was a wizard and would indeed be joining him at Hogwarts. The brothers had spent too many nights talking under the blanket fort for them not to. And if it was only one year...well, then Galen would hang in there. He’d treat it like a scouting mission and it would make for more to talk about under the blanket fort over the break!
He nodded in fervent agreement when Healer Rabbit mentioned that Wally’s family would love him no matter what. That was for sure!
