Even St. Mungo’s was not immune to gossip and the World Quidditch Cup had become the subject of every witch and wizard in Great Britain, including the healers and mediwizards of St. Mungo’s. Marie-Louise had already had to scold several of her nurses about gossiping in the corridors rather than tending to patients and by the time lunch had arrived she was completely ready to simply sit and eat her lunch in silence. That was until Rosamund joined her.

At some point since Rosamund had started at St. Mungo’s the two had become friends, their daily lunches when they both worked the same days were a treat to the shy and quiet healer.

“Did you attend yesterday?” It was fair to assume that everyone had, even Marie-Louise who had no interest in quidditch had found herself in attendance. There would be no avoiding the subject as it was so she might as well get it out of their systems now.
