April - Walking on Sunshine

[Prof. Maxim Trevelyan]

You are immediately ushered to the basement levels of the hospital, where, to your surprise, you are ushered to a room full of bright colored paper, paint and so many more things. A group of young witches and wizards greet you loudly and motion you to join them. They tell you they are trying to make the hospital wards a little brighter to aid in the patients’ recovery.

Come up with a way to brighten the hospital wards. You can do that either by describing it in 100 words or more or depicting it in an artistic rendition. It must obey all HOL rules and, should you go for the art, be maximum 600x600 in size.

Post your idea below by April 30th 11:59 pm HOL time to get 35 Hoots and 50 beans.

I would brighten the wards by adding an orb with a variant of the Lumos charm, that lightens up the rooms like the sunrise, to all of the patients rooms. I would add scenery paintings to the patients rooms, like paintings of a grassy meadow or a lakeside. Also, the patient's rooms will be painted with inviting yet calm colours, like Blue, Tan, and Light Green, to help reduce their stress levels. I would also make the Tearoom more inviting, by allowing more sunlight to enter the room(s), and introducing a variety of tasty yet healthy snacks for patients and visitors.

I would also ask the family and friends of the long term patients in the Janus Thickey ward to bring items that the patients enjoyed having around like paintings, books, favourite armchair, etc., to brighten up their rooms. Family and friends of short term patients would be asked to bring smaller items that the patient enjoys having around like books, toys, board games, etc.

Firstly, every hospital ward has to have a complimentary snack trolley going around. This would be filled with all sorts of candies, drinks, and snacks of a variety so there's something for everyone. The trolley would be, of course, rainbow, with flashing colors that keep skipping from red to orange to yellow and so on. This would catch most people's attention but as if that weren't enough, we're adding music to it as well! The trolley will play all kinds of fun tunes (mostly ones children will recognize) so it sounds like a merry-go-round.

Secondly, each healer will begin wearing flashing nametags to brighten it up a bit. These nametags will change color to a variety of various shades and have their name on them. Here's what one of them may look like:
