This was Lavender's last appointment, she had gone through enough test and took enough poitions to know what to expect now, Her wounds had healed though scars were still visable, The healers had helped reduce the look of them with charms and potions and Lavender knew she would never look the same again, the scars on her face had been too bad but they had managed to sort those out a new potion they were trying out, she was the first one to get it but she was told it would change the way she looked. Lavender didnt care about that though, she had no one in her life that cared about her enough to notice she had totally changed. she had been cooped up here in St mungo's or her office at the MoM since the Final Battle. Lavender was scared about seeing the way she looked, she knew it was going to be a big deal. though she was pleased, this way she wouldn't be recognised as much everywhere, she was sick of people staring at her when she walked around like she was contagious. Word had gotten out that she had been attacked by Greyback and she hated the attention, she knew how Harry felt now. She was sat at the end of her bed waiting for a Healer to come take of the bandages for the last time and show her what she now looked like and explain to her something about the Wolfsbane potion, they thought it was this that might help Lavender regain some control over her mind at Full Moon's and allow her to be around People. That scared Lavender more than anything else, her first full moon she was in the hosptial and she had scratched a Healer quite badly and caused him a lot of damaged, she had no control over her mind, since that night she had locked herself in a room somewhere. Usually her office, as they didn't seem to care or notice and the sliencing charm allowed her to lash out in her own office without someone seeing or hearing though the scratches she gave herself where painful it was better than actually hurting someone else. She could never live with herself if she caused this upon someone else. Lavender sat staring at the doors now, just waiting for a Healer or someone to appear to show her, her new identity. |

It had been a long shift for Ginny on her Creature-Induced injuries rotation. She had one more patient- a young woman who had been attacked by a werewolf and gone through a strenuous regime of potions and charms in an attempt to look normal again. Poor woman. Ginny’s job would be to remove the bandages and explain about wolfsbane potion. She walked in and said “Hi! I’m Ginny. I’ll be taking off the bandages and explaining to you all about wolfsbane potion. And you must be…” she looked at the chart “Lavender Brown?” It took her a minute to process that this patient was her brother’s ex-girlfriend and her former dorm mate “Lavender is that really you?” |

Lavender watched as a Healer walked through the door, she couldn't believe her eyes. Ginny Weasley. she didnt even notice it was Lavender til she looked at the chart. she was in that many bandages you could hardly see anything but her eyes. Lavender nodded her head and said "yeah, its me" rather glumly. she didn't know whether or not to be happy that it was someone she knew that was taking her bandages off. She was the sister of her ex boyfriend, maybe it was a little weird but she didn't say anything, she knew the sight of her must have shocked Ginny. everyone else had been shocked to see Lavender in that many bandages. She felt her eyes sting a little as she remembered peoples reactions to how she looked. Today would be the first time since the attack she had seen her face in the Mirror. it was going to be hard. |

Ginny by now had seen several people all bandaged up. It was entirely different when it was someone you know. All professionalism left her at once and was replaced by sympathy. "I'm so sorry you've gone through all this, Lavender", she said, her voice slightly breaking as thoughts of how awful Lavender's experience must have been flooded her mind. "And how everyone reacted when they heard the news....bloody ridiculous, if you ask me. Well...are you ready to see your new face?" Edited by Ginny Weasley, Apr 23 2010, 05:47 PM.

Lavender just smiled at Ginny, it was nice not having someone cringe away from her. Lavender felt the butterflies in her stomach resume as she spoke "people reacted how i expected them to. i hate to see how they would have reacted if -he- attacked me at full moon" she cringed slightly, she knew she wouldn't have to say who she knew Ginny knew, she had been around and surely Hermione would have told her. It was Ironic, the girl Lavender resented the most for a long time was the one who saved her life. She needed to thank Hermione as soon as she got a chance. Lavender took a deep breath to steady her nerves and nodded her head, if she spoke again she would be sick. She was never going to be that same girl again. No longer looking like her father and this scared her, it was all that was left of him memory. Her nose, her cheeks. She had her mothers eyes and they would never go away. Lavender closed her eyes as she finished nodding signalling Ginny to take the bandages off. |

Ginny nodded and began to gently remove the bandages. As she removed them, she explained "I should warn you that some of the potions will leave a bit of swelling and irritation. Don't be alarmed. It'll go away over a few weeks". She was done. "Well, meet the new you," she said,doing her best to conceal her own reaction as she handed Lavender the mirror.

Lavenders hand was shaking as she took the mirror, taking a deep breath she opened her eyes and looked straight at the Mirror. Ginny wasn't joking about the swelling parts of her face were very swollen, like she had been hit in the face with a stinging curse. Lavender looked in the mirror just staring at her reflection, she was in shock, she didn't recognise herself. she saw her mothers eyes but that was it. She brought her hand up to face, shaking she touch her face. Making sure it was real and realising it was her eyes filled with tears and they poured over the eyelids and down her new face. She didn't know what to think. she didn't look like herself anymore. Should she be happy? or upset that she no longer looked like the Gryffindor she was once. Greyback's snatchers had killed her Father and he had took his resemblence out of her. She sobbbed "t-thats me?" and looked at Ginny, she couldn't figure out her facial expression. She was pleased she couldn't see the scars on her face but was it -her- face now. she didn't know. |

Lavender looked completely different- and Ginny could tell Lavender was still processing the difference. So was Ginny. She looked gorgeous- but it wasn’t Lavender. Ginny had met Lavender’s father once at King’s Cross. She remembered thinking she looked a lot like him. If Ginny were not mistaken, that resemblance was gone now. That can’t be easy for her to take in. Ginny had no clue what to say, really. She didn’t want to say Lavender looked gorgeous, because that may upset her. But she did really look beautiful. Trying to be sensitive, she said “Yes, that’s you.” |

Lavender shook her head in disbelief. that couldn't be her. "but. she's prettier than i ever was" Lavender cried. "i shouldn't be pretty, i should have hideous scars, its" she had to pause to think of what she was trying to say "not right." she got out. She did look very pretty, she couldnt deny that and the resemblence of her father had gone but she thought her face was still going to be very scarred like Bill's was. She had seen his scars during the battle. Lavender brought her hand to wear her scars should have been and put her fingers there and just stared into the mirror. How could she look like this. how could she handle being staring at her for how much she had changed. for how differnet she looked. she didnt have the confidence to look like this. |

Ginny nodded "You got lucky. You arrived quickly and the healers did a great job" |
