Week Two - Task #08. - “Messy Magical Maladies”

[Aquaria Sandalwood]

Things keep getting stranger and spookier. You are once again back in the Haunted Hallway, and looking around, you can't tell what you should do or where you should go next. You can faintly hear the bride's cries, as well as Peeves' maniacal cackling, echoing down the hallway, but you cannot tell where they are coming from.

"Excuse me! You there, excuse me!" you hear from behind you.

Spinning around, you see a portrait that has someone in it! An older looking witch dressed in a bonnet and robes that look like they're from at least a few hundred years ago peers out at you, beckoning you closer. She looks familiar, but you're not quite sure of who she is.

"Hello. Er... who are you, if you don't mind my asking?" you ask, hoping that you don't sound rude.

"I am Dilys Derwent. I was once the Headmistress of this school, but I was also a Healer at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries, which is why I'm here, and I need your help. Hold tight!" she replies, and suddenly the room is spinning around you, and when it settles you are in the Hospital Wing. At least, that's where you think you are, because it looks different. The lighting is strange, everything is spooky and creepy, and there is also a huge mess. Bottles and phials containing healing potions and treatments for different magical illnesses are upturned and strewn about, and you can hardly tell where or what any of them are!

"Peeves came through here with that poor girl," Dilys says, shaking her head. "I can't tell where they went with this mess obscuring any clues. I need you to help me put them back where they belong so we can track them back into the hallway to see where they went next!"

This is quite the task, you think to yourself. Hopefully I can remember what I learned about healing potions in Potions class.
