OOC: This happened once too
Professor Black: "I swear, Veronica, I don't know what this school would do without you. It seems you've done a better job of keeping students alive than your professors..."
Finally, they made it to the hospital wing. She told the nurse about the students' injuries and left, hoping to find Evan nearby.
Veronica: "I just gotta go to class every day, I'm not in quidditch or in clubs. You guys have to teach, go to staff meetings, give detentions, make sure the castle's still running the way it should......it's easier for me to keep an eye on them. Although I do think I should have at least made prefect last year," she joked, ending with a tired chuckle. It was true, Veronica did do a lot for the school, she even spent afternoons working in the Hospital wings every other day. She never asked for anything, never demanded any respect, even though it would be nice if she could have a friend or two that could hang out with her without dying or getting hurt, or having people that would at least smile at her or say hello to her when they passed in the hallway. That would make the prejudice and responsibility feel so much lighter. "I'll be satisfied if I pass all of my NEWTs next year though."
But seriously, Veronica is/was like the guardian/protector of the students, and probably was better at it than the teachers
