As soon as we sat down, Delphine immediately got down to business.

"So. Regarding classes. Since you can practice performing transfiguration tasks yourself, I have prepared a list of literature that may be useful and which is available in the school library. If there are any questions, we will discuss them in class once a week. In the classes themselves, we will move on to the theoretical study of healing magic."

Hermione straightened, listening carefully.

"Did you pick up the literature on the topics that I asked for?"

"Yes," I nodded. "And learned it."

"That's great. Would it be difficult for you to make copies and send them to me? I would like to know if there is something new in this area for ordinary people. I don't want to go to the guild for this — there are people too, and they are not averse to earning extra money on recluses."

"Okay."

"And give Hermione copies," Delphine turned her gaze to the girl. "You wouldn't mind participating in the next stages of training, would you?"

"Of course not. I will be glad to participate."

"That's wonderful," Delphine smiled.

"But I don't quite understand," Hermione hesitated a little. "Why would you bother with me even though I am not your student?"

"Oh, it's simple here. You will reach a certain level of knowledge and strength, and Max, after receiving the status of a master, will take you as an apprentice, and in a month or two, you will already defend this title."

"And what about you?" a reasonable question came out of the girl's mouth by itself.

"I won't need another student. Moreover, you do not burden me and even help in the training of this young man."

Hermione nodded, understanding the meaning and point of Delphine's idea.

"Now, about the classes themselves. I can't say exactly how long we will study only theory. After all, you are very capable in this regard. But, since only the theory will go, then we can quite well be right here and not rush anywhere. How good is your auditory memory?"

"It's as good as with books," I shrugged.

"Likewise," Hermione looked at Lady Greengrass and at me. "But only if I concentrate a little."

"Great. But for some things, you still have to make notes. So, let's start right now."

We took out our notebooks and fountain pens, and Delphine took out her wand and swiped it around the table, casting a muffling spell.

"So we don't disturb anyone, and we don't get distracted. Okay, so. Healing magic is not a discipline you can learn from books alone. You can learn a lot of spells, potions, and rituals, but that's not what healing magic is all about. Its essence is in a deep understanding of magical, namely magical functioning of a human body or another patient. In our time, there is an adaptation of Muggle knowledge in this field, and many established dogmas have to be either supplemented or radically reconsidered. But today and tomorrow, we'll only touch on the general nuances, and next week I expect you to have in your bright minds the whole pile of knowledge that Max, as always, carries in his shoulder bag."

Hermione and I looked at each other and turned our attention back to Lady Greengrass.

"It is worth saying what a healer should know and be able to do. Many people think that one becomes a qualified healer by learning a myriad of spells and counterspells, but this is not true. You need to know how the body functions, every system in general, organs and tissues in particular. You need to know what processes go on in the body in norm and in pathology. In today's world, you need to know how tissue cells are organized and how they function. One needs to know what role magic plays in all this. But that's not all. A really good healer, and not just a nurse, must be able not only to use diagnostic spells and rituals, but also be able to interpret the data obtained from them. Since they themselves will not tell where, what and for what reason the patient is in pain. It is necessary to be able to predict the influence of various magical impacts on the patient's body, systems, organs, and magic, to be able to construct an individual picture of the interrelation of all these systems among themselves in order to determine the source of the illness or curse and to calculate the necessary treatment and its consequences. But most importantly..."
