Infirmary

Madame Pomfrey has asked that boot and hermione help her in the infirmary a few times a week. boot will fetch potions Professor Slughorn has brewed up from the dungeons (so she doesn't have to leave hospital wing to do it) and help clean and inventory. hermione will join boot when her punishment is done, a few days from now.

first time for boot was yesterday. Madame Pomfrey had boot wash his hands first thing when he arrived, under his nails, too. she explained why being clean is important around sick people. boot doesn't mind, is glad to be in place that's always clean. spent morning going over shelves with checklist, pulling potion bottles that were too old, so medicine in stock is fresh.

afraid master doesn't like boot helping in infirmary, though. Made that clear last night. but boot hopes he'll get to continue.

Madame pomfrey is kind. in what hermione calls a starchy kind of way.

want to try hikoo haiku but not sure what to write about. want to think about it more first.
