Hermione pauses, still internally shuddering at the idea of having a tube shoved down one's throat. She might understand it more for medical reasons, but there's still an intrusive element that she doesn't like. Not for the first time, she feels fortunate that she's never needed that level of medical attention, magical or otherwise.
"Fortunately, the system here is better than what I remember America having in my time," Hermione remarks, before her brow furrows a moment later. It's hard to place too much stock in better performance when she knows that the money supply and resources fluctuate without warning and however needed to normalize market behavior. Healthcare is probably much of the same.
Inexplicably having all of the supplies when outbreaks occur. Being able to hire more nurses and doctors in times of need.
"Anyway, yes. The idea is to see whether or not you can manifest your abilities in a defensive manner. I don't know whether or not it might result in a tangible shield, as it would for me. I want to try a few times first without the help of any artifacts, and if that proves unsuccessful, we'll see if tools can help to focus your energy."
