I think I need some ice.
Or- Or a bath of ice. An ice bath. Just no one take my kidneys while I’m in it, okay? Okay.
If you feel that today has been difficult I cannot wait to see how you will feel tomorrow. It's all up hill from here.

If you feel that today has been difficult I cannot wait to see how you will feel tomorrow. It's all up hill from here.
If anyone needs me, I'll be here.
If that’s what it takes to help anyone who needs it, then yes. I can do that.
… Thank you. I-um. I’m sorry to have inconvenienced you with my lack of knowledge and petty complaints. I’m sure you’ve not had it easy the past couple of days either.
Good. If you can prove it tomorrow, I'll be even more impressed.
It's past your bed time. Sleep, now. That's an order. Set an alarm for 6 AM tomorrow morning.
If anyone needs me, I'll be here.
I-I’m sorry… It’s just something I’ve never had to learn until now… I’ve always been a sound sleeper but I worry… A lot.
…Thank you, sir. I promise I’ll be more useful from now on and I’ll learn how to make it immediately.
Yes, please. Anything that will help.
You detach yourself from the situation. Don't look at a patient like he's a teenage boy with his legs blown off, look at him like he's a limb replantation. Not a person, a procedure.
Is that what you expected when you imagined yourself being a healer, Dr. Ross? Do you think you can handle that?
If anyone needs me, I'll be here.
But I’m not stupid or irrational, sir… I just…
I can’t sleep, sir. I-I haven’t been able to sleep since Minister Gloryflower said we started a war. And Nurse Vic has been busy, so I haven’t asked for sleep-draught, especially because I don’t want it to affect my performance for the next couple of days. It always makes me very sleepy.
No, no I’m Sarah Ross, I just… I’ve dreamed of being called a doctor all of my life. A healer, actually. I-I’ve always wanted to be a healer.
You don't know how to brew your own sleeping draught. That's... just excellent.
Here. You should learn how to make it and keep some on you at all times, you never know when someone's going to show up to relieve you.
Congratulations. You made it. But you want to know the real secret to being a grade A healer, Doctor?
If anyone needs me, I'll be here.
I care more than I should about everyone around me sir. I really didn’t mean to offend you with my methods of staying awake.
But what if someone needs me? What if I’m not there when someone needs to talk or their arm is broken and I’m asleep? What then? What do I do when I… I let someone down.
You called me Dr. Ross.
You're not offending me, you're being stupid and irrational. Sleep now, be a better healer later, save more lives. Don't sleep now, be an incompetent healer, kill your friends. It's not a tough sequence of thought to follow.
If you try to take care of everyone you're going to end up taking care of no one. Again, another example of being stupid and irrational. There's no time for that in my tent.
What? Are you Longbottom? I thought I remembered her being angrier looking.
If anyone needs me, I'll be here.
O-oh, hello Healer Kiley. Well, I know it may seem silly, I just don’t feel like it’s fair for me to sleep when many of peers aren’t able to get some rest themselves. I’d rather be there for them, than for myself, which is dangerous, I realize, but always how I’ve been, I suppose.
Sleep when you can or you don't sleep at all, which will affect your ability to perform as a medic, which will cost your peers their lives and inevitably make messes I will be tasked with cleaning up.
And, you know, I get really grumpy when I have to clean up after people, Dr. Ross, grumpy enough to make the exercise I made you guys do today look like a trip to Honeydukes.
So it kind of sounds like you don't care about your peers one bit.
If anyone needs me, I'll be here.
I’m really trying not to fall asleep but today has been exhausting…
The opportunity to actually get what will be your last sleep for the next Godric knows how many months is presenting itself, and you aren't taking it.
Interesting choice.
On a scale of one to Fitzgerald...
I— Yeah, well—
… Never was one to back down from a chance to say ‘I told you’ so. And I’m sure not proud enough to deprive you of that. … Sir.
Hmph.
You know, Private, I like you. I like you so much I'm gonna go ahead and give you a sneak peak into what lies in store for you tomorrow.
The morning will be for warming up, of course. You're probably used to Skylightnings and Phoenix Streaks and all of the other top of the line broomsticks the League provided you with, but we won't be practicing on those of course. Training is for preparing for the worst case scenario after all. If you're lucky, your boyfriend's gone and done you the favor of preparing to sit with a broomstick between your legs for hours without the benefit of a cushioning charm, but of course, I don't expect that, so we'll have to fly until you get used to the soreness.
Then I'll pair you up with one of your brothers. You'll be stationed across the grounds from each other, and then, one of you - and you won't know which one - will have his broom vanished from underneath him. It'll be up to your partner to catch you before you make contact with the ground. You won't die, but a broken back can be just a bitch to recover from, take it from me.
And let's see, I think I'll partner you up with...Gabriel Starrise. How's that sound, Private?
On a scale of one to Fitzgerald...
You’d be more likely to go out of your way to save their ass from a dragon because they’ll need to be saved from one. I can handle myself just fine in the air, sir.
… Yeah. Spot on. And I might’ve not been able to play with them back then, but I could fly just as good. Still can.
Well, I hope for your sake you're right.
Oh, good, one of those. Fantastic. Listen, son. You may have been something in the league, but tossing quaffles and dodging bludgers hasn't done a lick of good to prepare you for what's coming. So forgive me if I don't offer my congratulations for being able to play a game. I've known you for all of two minutes, and I have to tell you, I don't think you have what it takes. I hope you prove me wrong.
I doubt you will.
If you were dumb enough to tell anyone you enlisted as an assassin, you have to go back and say you were cut from the program. No one can know about you, not your family, not your friends, not even your other commanders. You train with your cover job during the day. That will help you build muscle. Maybe teach you some discipline.
At night you're with me. You’ll be working harder than anyone here and if I see you can’t handle it, you actually will get cut from the program. We only have room for the best, or I guess in the case of a bunch of inexperienced children, the ones who suck the least.
It’s easier to kill a stationary target than one that keeps fighting you, so tonight we’re practice different holds you can trap people in. Partner up and pay attention, everything you learn from this point on is cumulative. Holds, kills, and weapons get more and more complicated as you get better at them, but to advance you have to get better at them.
…I don’t like any of you. You’re too young, too irresponsible, and too susceptible to manipulation for this job. Keep that in mind while you work.
It pains me to see you all here and I’m going to apologize now for everything you’re going to go through. Children shouldn’t fight in wars, but sometimes they have to.
My name is Nadia Wittemore and I am the commanding officer for the Weapons and Research Development branch of the army. I have very little time to teach you what you need to know and I have even less time train you to do them. You must do exactly as I say or you will fall behind and that is not an option.
Your first exercise will be your easiest, the rest will only be harder. You are to devise a way to make something common like a sock or a pine cone into something dangerous. The rules are simple. The item must be dangerous, but non-lethal, perfectly ordinary until something sets it off. You must devise a way for this to work and make it so that it is easily replicated by others.
You are not to leave this room until the task is complete and approved by myself. Be careful and try not to lose you fingers. Begin!
On a scale of one to Fitzgerald...
General…? Oh. … Oh.
And people wonder why I don’t like friends. I assure you, sir, you’ll like the rest of the troop better. Just as well that you met me first, so your expectations are thoroughly desensitized. I’m Jason Ruston, by the way.
You'd better hope that's not true. If I like someone better, I'm more likely to go out of my way to save their ass from a dragon, now aren't I?
Jason Ruston...Jason Ruston...now where have I heard that name before?
Oh, right. The Quidditch player who got sacked for being too much of a child to play with the big kids.
Stand up! No slouching! And for the love of Merlin take your wands out of your pockets people. They will do you no good there. You’re no longer students you are fighters and every moment you are out on this field or out there fighting your wand should be in your hand or in your approved resting position.
Good. Failure to listen to my commands means you will be maimed or killed out there and I don’t know about you but I don’t trust those medics yet, do you? I thought not.
My name is Felix Durand but you are to call me sir at all times. I’m the commander of the foot Soldiers here and I’m going to train you until you are the best of the best, understood? Today’s exercise will not be easy and nor will anything else I have you do for the duration of this war.
Today I have set up a track you are all to complete in under ten minutes. Not one second more. Failure to do this means you must start over, no breaks will be allowed. You are to climb over that wall, under and through the wires without getting cut, and then you are to run, not walk, through the course I have laid out of wooden poles.As you complete that you are fire at the targets and hit them before you are complete.
Until the course is complete or you pass out there is no stopping. I will be watching.
Team work is your friend. Your time starts now.
On a scale of one to Fitzgerald...
Whoa. I think you just busted my serious and scowl-y radar with a whopping two Fitzgeralds.
Who’re you?
It's a piss-poor state we must be in, if this is kind of kid they're giving me to work with.
General Songsteel. Your new best friend.
On a scale of one to Fitzgerald...
How serious and scowl-y is the military? Like, is going in with a bedazzled broom going to earn me fifty push ups, or…?
Do what you’d like with your broomstick, boy.
But your hands won’t thank you for it tomorrow.
