@greens-your-color prompt 46: EXAM

hospital stays didn’t always mean st mungo’s. trips to the muggle a&e were sometimes the more sensible option, especially when it came to non-wizarding ailments; the triage system would require they go through the muggle system first anyway. stubborn fevers were a toss-up however since they were dangerous enough to potentially set severus’ condition off, but kit and harry would often choose to go through st barts first, since there was always the hidden fear (and suspicion) that constant exposure to magic also triggered severus, and it wasn’t a theory they were keen on testing. waiting for an available room was a chore, though, and severus hated wasting time. though his parents preferred that he rested, he wasn’t going to let a little fever get in the way of his Hogwarts term exam revisions. there was just no way lily was going to get higher marks than him for Charms, not this term, not ever.

(kit and harry often ended up confiscating the study aids if his fever got worse but would promise that if his condition got better they would help him revise, at least for the theory part. petunia thought they were all mad because when she was ill she couldn’t be bothered at all about anything, least of all studying).
