Rarely Hospital Wing

The Hospital WingPottermore moment was a part of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It was run by Madam Poppy Pomfrey, the school's matron, from at least 1971.The students and staff who suffered mishaps and injuries during the school year were sent or brought to the Hospital Wing for treatment. Poppy would prefer there be six visitors at one time for one person. There was a room adjacent belonging to the matron.The Hospital Wing was well equipped to deal with all kinds of magical and mundane injuries, from broken limbs to regrowing lost bones. Only in the most severe cases were the patients sent to St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries for further treatment, such as when Katie Bell touched a cursed Opal Necklace in 1996.
==Overview==
Located on the first floor, and later one or two floors up, the Hospital Wing was where Hogwarts residents went to have their medical needs met. Within the Hospital Wing were many rows of beds with white sheets, privacy screens, and bedpans, which Ronald Weasley once had to scrub as the result of a detention from Professor Snape. The entrance had double doors. Madam Pomfrey's office was part of the Hospital Wing complex.
==History==
===1991-1992 school year===
In 1992, Harry woke up in the Hospital Wing following his encounter with Professor Quirrell and Voldemort. He had a long discussion with Professor Dumbledore regarding the power of sacrificial love. Madam Pomfrey was upset that Dumbledore had ignored her instructions, and allowed Harry to attend the Leaving Feast. She had wanted to keep Harry a little longer for observation.
===1992-1993 school year===
In 1992, Harry was once again in the hospital wing overnight, this time because Lockhart had (while trying to mend his broken arm) completely removed the bones in his arm. He was joined by Colin Creevey, who had apparently been Petrified by the monster within the Chamber of Secrets.In 1993, Hermione ended up in the Hospital Wing because of a failed transformation using Polyjuice Potion. Because this was a potion that’s use was restricted, Hermione could not say what caused her to halfway transform into a cat, but Madam Pomfrey simply treated her. Justin Finch-Fletchley, Nearly Headless Nick, and Hermione ended up Petrified and were moved to the Hospital Wing. Harry and Ron visited her during her time in the wing, often leaving flowers at her bedside. Lockhart, who had erased his own memory due to a backfiring Memory Charm, was also taken to the Hospital Wing before being moved to St Mungo's.
