Anathema stirs fairly quickly, at least.

Permalink

Ellie is perched at the edge of her bed.

"Hey."

Permalink

"...Ellie?"

Permalink

"That's me. Do you- remember anything?"

Permalink

" - We were playing Quidditch, and then," she shivers, sitting up to lean into Ellie. "...There were Dementors, weren't there."

Permalink

"A whole fucking flock." Hug.

Permalink

Hug!

"I - it was - "

She shivers.

"Really bad."

Permalink

"I've got you now."

Permalink

She snuggles Ellie pretty aggressively, even as Madam Pomfrey pulls the privacy curtain around them in preparation for other students (all just shaken, none who fainted entirely so far) trickling in for a quick potion dose.

Permalink

Professor Reynolds steps in after a little bit, talking to Madam Pomfrey in low tones and then stepping through the curtain over to their bed.

"Hey," she says, softly.

Permalink

"Hi Professor."

Permalink

She sits on Anathema's other side. "Hey Ellie, Anathema. Are you two doing alright?"

Permalink

"Getting there, I think."

Permalink

Anathema nods. "Yeah..."

Permalink

Hug. "Madam Pomfrey thinks you should both be alright to leave, if you'd like."

Permalink

"Up to you," she says to Anathema.

Permalink

She nods. "Yeah... Maybe back to your rooms? I'm fine going back to the dorm for the night, just..." She shrugs.

Permalink

"I'm alright with that."

Permalink

"Okay."

Permalink

And back to Professor Reynolds' suite.

Anathema sighs, a bit grumpily, as they settle in. She keeps leaning against Ellie, shifting just enough for Scarlet to climb in her lap.

"...I don't like that I fainted again," she grouches.

Permalink

"I don't think any of us liked it."

Permalink

"Yeah."

" - You were okay, though?"

Permalink

"I was up higher. And then I cast a Patronus."

Permalink

She grins for the first time since the Dementors showed up. "A corporeal one?"

Permalink

"A tiger."
