Madam Pomfrey was a tall witch, skilled in healing, potions, herbs, and other forms of medical treatment. Rumor had it that St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries had offered her a position as deputy director three times, but she had declined each time, expressing her desire to remain at Hogwarts. Though neither Madam Pomfrey nor St. Mungo's confirmed this rumor, it remained one of the small mysteries at the school.
When Kyle entered the hospital wing, Madam Pomfrey was handing a green potion to a student in bed. "This is the last of the scabies treatment. Apply it to the affected area, and *do not* drink it," she instructed before hurrying to another patient, muttering about the irresponsibility of Hogwarts professors.
As Kyle stood hesitating, Madam Pomfrey caught sight of him and Mikel. "Merlin's beard, what happened to this boy?" she rushed over, placing Mikel gently on an empty bed. "Was it Potions? Defense Against the Dark Arts? How could a child be unconscious!"
Kyle, whispering, replied, "Neither, ma'am. It was Charms class. Mikel cast an illumination spell and overextended his magic. Professor Flitwick believes it was a magical power overdraft."
Madam Pomfrey stopped in her tracks. "An illumination spell?" She looked at Kyle in disbelief, as though he'd claimed Dumbledore had taken up pole dancing. "Are you serious?"
Kyle quickly explained the situation, recounting what had happened during class. After hearing the story, Madam Pomfrey's skepticism waned. With so many witnesses and Professor Flitwick involved, the story was hard to refute.
She turned to look at Mikel as though he were a rare magical anomaly. "It's an eye-opener," she muttered. Kyle nodded, understanding her surprise. Mikel had essentially floored the accelerator of his magical power and sped to depletion within seconds. Kyle shuddered at the thought of what might have happened had Mikel cast a more dangerous spell.
Soon, Dumbledore arrived, bringing Professor Snape with him. Madam Pomfrey led them to Mikel's bedside, briefly updating them on the situation. Dumbledore examined the unconscious student with his wand before turning to Kyle. "Did you bring him here, Kyle?"
"Yes, Professor," Kyle confirmed.
"You did very well," Dumbledore said with a smile. "And I've heard how you helped others during the commotion. For that, twenty points to Hufflepuff for your bravery and humility."
Snape, who had been watching quietly, now shifted his focus to Kyle. "Before Mikel returns to class, he'll need a magic suppressant potion," Dumbledore noted. "Professor Snape will have it ready soon."
"One day," Snape said coldly. "But tell your friend to mind his magical reserves. Repeated overdrafts could make him a Squib. You understand what that means, don't you?"
"Yes, Professor," Kyle replied quickly.
With that, Snape left, and Dumbledore suggested Kyle return in the afternoon to check on Mikel.
