The Order's Healer
Chapter 2 of 20
reader76Elizabeth settles into life in Aunt Muriel's home. She reconnects with her family and befriends both a patient and a house-elf.
ReviewedA/N: I still don't own anything you recognize. I'm just playing with these wonderful characters.
I was greeted at the gate by a house-elf. He introduced himself as Orby and showed me to my rooms at the back of Muriel's large house. House-elves were not common in the U.S., but I'd met a few elves over the years when I visited England.
"Missus said that her niece from America was visiting. She said Missy was a Healer and to show you to the east wing. She said that Orby should set Missy up with medical supplies. Missy is going to help the soldiers. Orby isn't to speak of Missy to anyone outside the house. Orby has to be sneaky in getting supplies for Missy."
"Thank you, Orby. My name is Elizabeth Prewett. You may call me Elizabeth." Orby nodded and smiled. I looked around the makeshift hospital that had been established for me. It was an excellent setup, given the clandestine nature of my work. I told Orby as much and he beamed. Then, taking me by the hand, he led me to my quarters. They consisted of a lovely bedroom with a small sitting room attached, a private bathroom and a sun porch.
"It's lovely, Orby. Where are the kitchens? I've had a long journey and would like to make myself a sandwich."
Orby scowled. "Miss Elizabeth doesn't know much about house-elves. Orby will bring you something to eat. What can I bring you?"
"A sandwich would be lovely, and maybe some tea?" And with a nod and a pop, Orby was gone. I looked around my room. Most of my things had arrived a few days before, leaving only my two bags that I had shrunk and placed in my purse. I pulled them out and enlarged them, and then I began putting my personal items away when Orby popped back into the room with a plate.
"Does Miss Elizabeth need anything else?"
"This looks wonderful, Orby. Is my aunt at home?"
"Missus says she will have breakfast with Miss Elizabeth tomorrow at eight. The first patient is coming tomorrow morning at nine. She is a young woman expecting a child."
"Oh, okay. Thank you again Orby. You have made me feel most welcome."
"Yes, Miss Elizabeth. Call if you need anything."
The next morning, I awoke, showered and dressed. Just before eight, I wandered down to the kitchen. Muriel sat at the table already looking as sour as I had remembered. She was over a hundred years old, so I supposed I should cut her some slack.
"There you are," Muriel snapped as I entered the room. She started talking about me like she wasn't aware I could hear her. "Well, let's take a look. Poor thing got the awful red Prewett hair. Decent figure though. Probably got Molly's mouth too; I bet that's why you aren't married yet."
I was dumbstruck at her rudeness. It took considerable restraint to manage a civil, "Good morning, Aunt Muriel."
"I'm not your aunt, girl. Though, I'm not sure what else you should call me, so I suppose it will do."
Nice. So that's how it was going to be. Oh, well... I sighed inwardly. Kill her with kindness, I supposed. "Yes, ma'am, I would like to thank you for opening your home to me and for allowing the Order and me to use it as a clinic."
"Well, this whole war business is just appalling. We all must do our part. Having a Healer around will be helpful, if you are indeed a Healer. Keep to the east wing. Some of these people Molly and Arthur associate with are dreadful indeed. Patients are to use the back entrance. I don't want them near my quarters. I've assigned you a house-elf. Orly, or something like that, will attend to your needs. The other two elves are not to be disturbed."
"Orby has been a great help so far. Thank you."
"Nonsense. He's quite useless, you'll soon see. But as you aren't used to house-elves, I'm sure he seems fine to you."
"Indeed, ma'am," I gritted out. "Do you know my first patient?"
"I'm not to be involved in that. The elf will coordinate that."
"Yes, ma'am. Well, breakfast has been both lovely and illuminating. I should go prepare for my patient."
My first patient was a young woman named Nymphadora Lupin; she was accompanied by her husband Remus. I quickly learned that she preferred to be called by her maiden name, Tonks. She was chatty and cheerful, but her husband seemed forlorn. I wondered if he was unhappy about the child. He seemed to be a kind man, so his demeanor confused me, but he was not the patient. I shook those thoughts from my head and focused on his wife.
"You know, you aren't what I expected," Tonks volunteered as I listened to her child's heartbeat.
"Really, what makes you say that?"
"Well, Molly is, um, a force of nature, and you are more reserved. And frankly, given what I've heard of your mother versus Molly's, I would have expected the opposite."
"Molly's mother died when she was a young girl, Tonks. Molly is probably more like Dad. I, on the other hand, lost him as a child. My mother was different after that. She blamed herself. She still does, to be honest. I understand how she feels. It's hard not to some days."
Surprisingly, Remus spoke up. "You know that's not true. You and your mother are not to blame for what happened. Horrible people tore your family apart. I remember hearing the story even though I was just a boy. I was pleased to hear that part of the story was fabricated for your safety and that of your mother. But, remember, it is not your fault. They've torn many families apart. That's what we are fighting."
I smiled. "Thank you. That was a kind thing to say. Well, I must say, your child sounds very healthy. I'll just cast the charm to take a look. Ah, there we go. Everything is in its place."
"Would you be able to tell if there was something, um, wrong with the child?" Remus stared at the floor.
"Wrong?" I looked from Tonks to Remus. "The child looks perfectly healthy. You are due in April, yes?" Tonks nodded. Remus gulped.
"Could you tell if the child was afflicted, with, with...?" Remus choked on his words. He was clearly haunted by something.
"My husband is a werewolf, Healer Prewett."
"Oh." I paused, understanding Remus' fears. "Please, call me Elizabeth. I am sorry, but that can't be known in utero. But, please take comfort. There are many cases where it doesn't show up in the children at all, and when it does, it's often more like the bite of an untransformed wolf."
"Like Bill?" Tonks was searching for something to reassure her husband. Remus looked up.
Careful not to give anything away, I asked, "Bill?"
"Your nephew, Bill Weasley?" Tonks' eyes were full of hope. "Bill's daily life is barely affected." She squeezed Remus's hand.
"I've not been around Bill much since the attack, but he seems well. That is one possibility."
Remus looked like the prognosis was not comforting. "We can only hope for the best," he said, assisting his wife.
"I'd like to see you in four weeks, if nothing happens in the meantime. It was lovely to meet you both."
I walked the couple out to the back entrance. Orby greeted me as I walked back into the office. "Miss Elizabeth, here is the schedule I made up. Orby will go to Mr. Arthur and Mrs. Molly each morning, and Mr. Arthur tells me who needs Miss Elizabeth. Orby can let them know what times Miss Elizabeth has available, and they send out the messages on when to come. There are many people needing Miss Elizabeth and St. Mungo's is under dark control.
So that's how it went. For the next several months, I saw my patients in Muriel's home. There was a wide range, from minor injuries to a few life threatening cases. I sent several to the Muggle hospitals if I thought Muggle technology was needed. I was trained in both Muggle and Wizarding techniques, but I was certainly not a fully trained doctor. There were a few I couldn't save, and that was painful, as it always is, but we were in a war. I knew I was shielded from the true horrors of it, and I did my part to help those that were hurt by those depraved wizards and witches following that madman.
Molly visited when she could, as did Arthur, and a few of my nephews and my niece, when she wasn't at school. I was also introduced to the Mediwitch that worked at the school Ginny attended. She shared with me some horrible stories of how the students were being treated, making my blood boil. I showed her a few techniques to treat some of the nasty curses and hexes we discussed, again, some Muggle, some magical. Poppy was a lovely woman. We would like to have corresponded more, but my position needed to remain a secret.
I continued to avoid Muriel as much as possible. I took most of my meals in my sitting room, citing how busy I was with patients as an excuse. When I saw her, she continued with the jabs about my parents, my American accent, my lack of a husband, and my Muggle training. It became familiar, almost comforting.
Sad news reached us all too frequently. There were occasionally days of good news; I delivered a healthy baby Lupin one early April night. The child showed no signs of his father's affliction, much to the joy of his parents. When Remus came across Ron and his friends, who had been in hiding for months, safe in Bill and Fleur's cottage, we all rejoiced.
And so it is with war. There is death, and then there is hope, and even in the midst of it, life continues.
Then in early May, Orby popped into my chambers and shouted in a terrified voice, "Miss Elizabeth is needed at Hogwarts. Come! They tell Orby the fighting has started. There is only one Mediwitch. She cannot attend to all the injured. Mr. Arthur calls; he says to come. Please, Miss Elizabeth, we must hurry!"

Thank you for finishing this wonderful story and for creating one of the most interesting oc I have encountered in a long time. I particularly liked the insights in all these episodes of their lives you used to wrapp it all up in this final chapter and I do feel sad you only have such a few reviews. This story definitely deserves more.
A nice chapter--you are clearly someone who enjoys describing houses as much as I do! And I really enjoyed Elizabeth's very sage advice to Lucius about using his temporary lack of magic to hone his other strengths, as well as his oblivious reaction. One tiny bit of constructive (I hope) criticism: Lady Evelyn is not more informal than Lady Prince; in fact, it's actually a higher title. Lady Jane means you are the daughter of a duke, marques, earl, or baron. (Second sons only get to be Lord John if their fathers are dukes or marquesses; their older brothers usually get a lower family title as a courtesy.) Lady Doe means she has married into the aristocracy, unless she has married one a second son like Lord John, in which case she is Lady John. So Lady Evelyn would have been born and raised the daughter of a baron at the very least, and thus she outranks Lady Prince, who might have been a gum-snapping chorus girl who caught Lord Prince's eye. And everyone who is not a servant (they say "your lordship, your ladyship") would call her Lady Evelyn if that was her title, not just her friends.
Response from reader76 (Author of To Rescue Her Prince)
Interesting. Thank you for reviewing. Evelyn is not of noble birth (she was a ward of the Malfoys but not related by blood). So, we'll have to assume either (a) the author didn't do her research, or b) the wizards have slightly different customs. LOL.

Sorry--I was just trying to be helpful.
Response from reader76 (Author of To Rescue Her Prince)
No, it is helpful, thank you. I apologize if my response came off tersely. I was trying to be funny, but I think I missed the mark. In all honesty, I did have to go a bit AU and modify the customs to make the story fit (like why they didn't find another male relative when his grandfather died) but what you've described was an oversight on my part. Thank you for pointing it out, it does help to know the real-world structure. Sorry again if my previous response came out wrong. I wouldn't want to discourage people from helping me learn.

oh, this story is so wonderful, hopefully Lucius will come to his senses if that is possible, well maybe he is just protective of Severus as Molly is of Elizabeth.
Response from reader76 (Author of To Rescue Her Prince)
Thank you for your review. Lucius is acting partially out of concern for his friend, but part of it is just ego. He's feeling weak, and he's trying to flex his muscles. Lucius is going to get worse before he gets better in this story.Molly doesn't have anything against Severus, but the idea of him and her baby sister is just weird to her. She just thinks they are both in over their heads and rushing things. Elizabeth is barely older than Bill, so Molly does tend to mother her a bit too much.

Several new people are enriching this narration with their own stories. You've woven them all together very well. Its good to know that Draco showed some spine even while they were hosting the Dark Lord. Severus is more relaxed than ever before. A romance will do him immensely good--even if he might deny needing it. It would now help to know how Elizabeth's love life looked back in the States. She's very reserved for a reason, I wager, and not all might be her professional relationship with Severus.
Response from reader76 (Author of To Rescue Her Prince)
Thank you for your kind review. Draco carries guilt over what happened during the war. We won't delve to far into that, but the friendship with Dean is a good way for him to atone and heal. Severus, being finally free, can consider things that were simply not possible for him before. He can let someone get close to him now, without fearing that it will endanger their lives.Elizabeth's romantic history is touched upon in Chapter 9. She is genuinely afraid that he's not really attracted to 'her', but rather to his savior. That and the Lily thing, combined with her own securities, and she's terribly afraid of eventual rejection.

this is a very good story, I love the way we follow several people and their problems, I love especially following Elisabeth and Severus' budding love
Response from reader76 (Author of To Rescue Her Prince)
Thanks. I tend to like ensemble pieces. Particularly with an OC, I think it helps develop the character while still giving the reader some of their familiar faces at the same time.

This is such a wonderful story. It's nice to see Severus with fresh eyes and I like the other stories about the other injured people and the development of Draco as well. You have a good hand in bringing all the storylines together and in fleshing out all your characters. And what I particularly like is the fact that despite the title it's much more developing as an equal relationship than one in which one is rescued by the other. Well done! You really deserve more reviews.
Response from reader76 (Author of To Rescue Her Prince)
Yes, Elizabeth may not seem to need any rescuing on the surface, but she's got some issues of her own that this experience (if not Severus directly) are helping her come to terms with. Draco as the 'little brother' figure is very good for her.

:) I really like how you're developing Elizabeth and through her Severus as a person we've not yet "met". keep up the good work
Response from reader76 (Author of To Rescue Her Prince)
Thanks. Severus is able to reinvent himself a bit in this environment. And because she isn't weighed down by past experience with him, she's able to appreciate him without the confusion that the others witnessing him undoubtedly feel.

Ya know I've had astory in my head for a year now about Severus, a muggle library and Hermione's Cousin/Adopted Sister but every time i write it it comes out all funky andn not how I intended. I am eating this story up because its a similar theme. Anxiously awaiting the next chapter <3

And now it gets interesting! I wonder whom Elizabeth will have as patients? (I have my suspicions about one of them.) I might wonder why Elizabeth didn't play a role in healing Hermione and the others from Malfoy Manor, but I'm sure there's a good reason. This story has been very well and plausibly set up, and I look forward to its continuation.
Response from reader76 (Author of To Rescue Her Prince)
I think your suspicions might be right about one of them. :) There are a handful of other key patients.As for why she didn't show up at Shell Cottage, there is a reason, but it didn't make it into the story. It's yet another reason to dislike Aunt Muriel. Rather than notifying Molly and Arthur to contact Elizabeth, Bill contacted Muriel instead. She did not relay the message to Elizabeth in a timely manner. By the time Elizabeth was informed of the injuries, Fleur and Bill had the situation in hand.
Response from reader76 (Author of To Rescue Her Prince)
Thank you so much for the review. I'm glad you are enjoying the story so far. The action picks up a bit in the next chapter.

Oh my. You have certainly laid the groundwork well and set us up for exciting/terrifying events to come - THE battle. I think we can all guess who one of her patients will be. Looking forward to how Elizabeth's side of the story plays out.It's interesting, isn't it, that most of us have an Aunt Muriel in our lives. Maybe not an actual relative, but someone close enough to have an influence on our lives. I like that you have Elizabeth coping with this relationship as you do. People like Aunt Muriel can really pull a person down, but only if that person allows it to happen.Enjoyed your chapter and looking forward to the next with great expectations.
Response from reader76 (Author of To Rescue Her Prince)
Thanks for your reivew. Muriel is fairly horrible, and I have not been kind to her in this story. I actually had more about her but ended up cutting her back because I know people are anxious for Severus to enter the story. Elizabeth is used to dealing with people who look at her a bit strangely, having grown up as a witch in a Muggle family. She was loved, but straddling the lines between the two worlds was a challenge and she developed a very interesting type of toughness from the experience. Elizabeth has many faults of her own, but she does not take responsibility for the faults of others.

Hi Elizabeth, so nice hearing about you! You've had quite a life, I must say! Kudos to your Mom for allowing you to stay connected at all! How is she? Now you return just when things are getting the worst imaginable? That's very brave indeed. I think you're safe assuming that Aunt Muriel hates the American part AND the spunky part. Let's at least assume it isn't the Muggle part. She might not agree to host the Order's hospital if that were the case. Good luck with her! 
I'm sure you'll get along well enough with most Weasleys (as long as you eat & sleep enough). What is your take of Fleur, though? Looking forward to hearing from you,

Goodness, I liked this so much. Your narrator is such an engaging OC, with an interesting and plausible backstory (and a great name, lol). And it was great to read a happy ending for Snape with a partner who not only was close to him in age but also had a temperament that complemented his so well.
The transfer went very well, and Severus manages to be rather civil. Undoubtedly he will have lapses, and I'm looking foreard to Elizabeth's reaction.

Elizabeth is pretty good at keeping herself reigned in, which helps keep things from escalating.

It's okay, Lucius is still a bastard, I promise. His colors will show.Draco is pretty much broken, and Elizabeth and Severus are helping to rebuild him. Narcissa doesn't see Elizabeth as equal, but then again she doesn't really see Severus as an equal either, even though she does appreciate his assistance. She does want what's best for him (assuming it doesn't conflict with her family's needs), and she does legitimately see Elizabeth as good for him.

A wise move!Nice interaction between Minerva and Severus. yes, this is how I assume their relationship.I fear for Elizabeth's wellbeing after she silenced the man. One remark: I have heard from Muggle doctors (snort) that bloodloss always looks like far more than it actually is due to its intense colour and how it spreads. As a Healer Elizabeth woudl know of this effect, I think.
Response from reader76 (Author of To Rescue Her Prince)
Thanks for your comment. Minerva would definitely be struggling with her recent interactions with Severus after his true allegiance was revealed.Teehee, yeah, Elizabeth may pay for that later.As for the blood loss issue, Elizabeth's specialty isn't trauma, which is part of the reason she struggles with turning off her emotional response. Her specialty is rehab, which will become more relevant down the road.
