Brrrr... why is it so cold in the Den today? It's usually quite warm, even in the wintertime, because we keep the fire burning well.

I am going to have to recopy this Ancient Runes assignment, I'm afraid. The runes are kind of blurring in front of my eyes and I'm shivering and it looks very sloppy.

Christopher Summerby, you need to go to the hospital wing right now!

[newt_summerby]

Meep. And she'll probably take points if I don't. Or in the least worry about Nick getting ill, since I share a dorm with him. They do seem to be getting along better these days, and that's always a good thing. And Justin and Ernie don't seem cold at all.

Er, all right, Fawcett. Sorry.

[newt_fawcett]

Don't be sorry. Just - go there and take Pepper Up Potion. Or something. Because if you get sick then you'll make Nick get sick and then he'll make me get sick um - er - because we patrol together twice a week!

I'm not trying to come across as heartless, but this is a very important year for you academically and it's your responsibility to keep yourself healthy and make sure others don't catch whatever it is that you have either.

[newt_summerby]

I know. I'll go. The patrols aren't COMPLETELY the reason you don't want Nick to get sick, is it? You're fond of him too, and you wouldn't want him to get sick.

I'll be sure to cast cleaning charms around the dorm before I do so that Nick doesn't get sick and you won't have to worry about him getting sick.

I'm not cold. Are you sure you're quite well?

[newt_summerby]

I'm going to go to the hospital wing just in case because Fawcett who would be scarier if she weren't Nick's girl is afraid that if I were sick I'd get you and Nick infected as well mostly Nick.

[newt_barney]

That's probably a good idea. And I'm sure Fawcett is worried about you, not just everybody else.

[newt_summerby]

Yes, of course.

Madam Pomfrey says I have a cold and need to stay here a few days. I'm sorry, I think she's not going to let me go to practice.
