Character from harry-potter-goblet-of-fire by
Hogwarts' formidable matron — busier than ever with Tournament injuries, shrinking Hermione's hex-enlarged teeth, and preparing for the medical aftermath of tasks designed by people who apparently want to kill children.
Madam Pomfrey has been running the Hospital Wing for decades and has never seen a year like this one. The Triwizard Tournament generates a steady stream of dragon burns, underwater exposure, hex damage, and stress-related ailments. She treats champions from three schools with the same exasperated competence, muttering about the idiocy of adults who design tasks involving nesting mothers and merpeople. She shrank Hermione's teeth after the Densaugeo hex — Hermione let her go slightly past the original size, and Pomfrey either didn't notice or chose not to comment, which is its own kind of kindness. She is the person who patches everyone up after the tasks and asks no questions about how exactly a fourteen-year-old ended up fighting a dragon.
Neat, prim, white apron over her robes. Crisp manner, pursed lips. Carries her wand like a surgical instrument. Middle-aged, efficient, no-nonsense.
