Oh good, Professor Reynolds has things well in hand. That was very stressful for a bit.

She's just going to pass out now.

She wakes up some time later. There's sun coming in through the windows, and the hum of activity is much, much lower. The Hospital Wing is downright quiet, actually, and she's properly in a bed and under some sheets and blankets. She's not in any pain.

That's good.

...Anathema?

On the bed next to Ellie. She seems to be asleep - probably not unconscious, she's sprawled with her blankets all twisted around her like she usually does when actually sleeping.

Oh good. She's probably okay to drowse for a while longer, then.

A man in healer's robes - not one she recognizes - comes over once her drowsiness has receded some. "How are you feeling?" he asks, voice soft.

"Better."

"Do you remember what happened?"

"...Professor Quirrell. We were doing an experiment and he tried to possess Anathema. There were... house elves, and Professor Reynolds chased him out."

He nods. "That matches our understanding. Do you feel confused, disoriented, or have a headache?"

She shakes her head. "No."

"Alright. You and your friend both seem to be doing remarkably well - she woke up briefly earlier and was alert and oriented, though we think she's likely to sleep a lot for a short while. You might also find yourself exhausted and sleepy, but that should fade with time."

Nod.

"Do you need anything from me?"

"Not right now."

"Alright. I'll let you rest, then."

She slumps back down, still feeling a bit lethargic.

She's left to rest for a little bit - and then the door opens, and there's a low sound of discussion.

One of the voices seems to be Professor Reynolds'.

Ellie perks up a bit.

She comes over to Ellie's bedside after a minute. "Hey," she says. "Are you doing okay?"

"Yeah."

"Thanks. For coming."

She takes Ellie's hand, squeezing it. "I couldn't not. I'm just glad I was alerted in time."

"Yeah."

Squeeze. "I'm sorry it came to that. We - I - should've realized something was wrong sooner."

Weak laugh. "Always look for biases, right?"
