Oral Health by remuslives

Hermione makes an unexpected visit to Dr. Bill.

Hermione rubbed the sleep from her eyes. The whole side of her face hurt and she was sure it was swollen. She had been avoiding the dentist for several years now, telling herself magic would take care of it, should her oral health fade. But now she was beginning to doubt it. She had spent all of yesterday looking for a spell or potion that would cure her toothache, but she came up empty handed. Her last resort was to go to the Burrow.

"Mrs. Weasley, can you help me?" Hermione approached the older woman in her kitchen. "My tooth really hurts."

"Let me see that dear. Open up." Molly looked into Hermione's mouth and tsk tsk'd. "That looks like it'll have to come out."

"Oh no," she grumbled, flopping into a nearby chair.

"Yes, I'm afraid so. But, I am quite busy. What with Ginny's wedding in just a couple weeks. Perhaps Bill could help you, he should be home." She saw the young girl's face scrunch up with uncertainty. "Oh don't worry, he's done it before."

Hermione left for Bill's cottage, with few options left to her. She explained the problem and Bill instructed her to sit and it would be over before she knew it. She closed her eyes as instructed and waited. He had his wand pointed in her open mouth.

A door slammed nearby, and Hermione was yanked half out of her chair with a startled scream. "What the bloody hell are you doing?" She put a hand on her throbbing cheek.

"Getting rid of your toothache." He pointed to her tooth dangling on a string connected to the now shut door. "That's what you wanted right?"

She glared daggers at him as she apparated back to her flat. Next time, she would just swallow her pride and go home.

Feel better, Jack!
