It was the holidays and as a professor Elvera has as much right to come and go at the school as she had during the year. she had been staying with her mum in Le Fey Cottage for a few days until one day she had woken up with a stuffy nose and knew the bug that was going round the school had caught up with her. She had left quickly not wanting to make Morgan sick she she had packed up some things and collected some herbs from the garden before heading back to the school and lockingherself in her office glad that she would have the tower to herself for at least the next week.
it had been a few days. she had let the room get warm, burned sage, made tinctures from herbs, echinacea and angiographis, Garlic and Orange, Echina, mint and feaverfew, and since the vomiting started she had drunk more ginger and lemongrass tea than she had had in a longtime. that had been a few days ago. since then she had been in bed, sweating through the sheets as she shivered glad that the houseelves came with food, bedding and blankets, especially once the vomiting had started and she had had to drag herself out of bed to relocate somewhere better suited for puke. she was running low on her ingredients but thankfully today she was feeling a little better. well by a little better she had kept down two gingernuts and half a glass of lukewarm water and had slowly made her way downstairs to the hospital wing even though she felt very weak and tired. she entered the room and was not surprised to see that she was not alone there. a girl was sitting vomiting into bason and there was a boy not too far away who had a slight glazed look in his eyes that people had when they weren't well. it was then that the smell of the girls vomit hit her. and that was enough to set her stomach off again. she made it a couple of steps towards a bucket that she summoned towards her before bending over and throwing up before it arrived. "Oh merlin" she cursed finding a clean bit of floor and sitting down as she waved her wand to clean up the mess before leaning forwards her head in her hands groaning.
