✧A BLOOD FEVER✧

It had not been the best thing to say, as Sirius had already appeared twice over the course of the full week in his father's return. Or thought of return, but there was no bargaining with that she-devil that Rhea had managed to push past.
The manor was always open to the brothers, though Rhea was worried as to why Regulus hadn't managed to make his way over, though he doubted that he wanted to get in trouble as his brother surely would.
Alphard didn't mind, considering he only saw his nephews for the better of a few times within the year. He only found it cumbersome when he was attempting to have a romantic evening with his beautiful wife.
Just after breakfast, Rhea was informed that Orion would be coming over for an important meeting to get a few dozen or so things. She had asked if they needed any help, which Orion had interrupted her kind offer with a laugh.
While Alphard thought it was a good idea, he pushed aside her worries and said that they would ease her into less complicated things. The deadlines they were under isn't the best to start teaching with, she understood and decided to get a few things prepared for the library.
She ordered a few dozen encyclopedias, ranging from creatures to plants—Manuals to any type of script that would be beautifully presented. In addition, she was going to go with Andy and Dora one day soon to purchase a plethora of muggle literature, so she could have a growing stockpile.
Though she wondered if that should be more hidden and less out in the open.
The main centerpieces would be sculptures that she had already spoken to a curator with, the theme was strictly Greek mythology. And Rhea couldn't possibly wait any longer to see this masterpiece, she had been scurrying around for so long that she nearly screamed in seeing an elf sneaking up on her.
"Becker! I'm so sorry love, what is it?"
"Mistress ask Becker to tell her when to take potion, Becker leaves pot of tea in Mistress bedroom." She sighed in relief that she had told the elf to remind her, otherwise she would've had to inform Alphard of her foolishness.
Just as she was told, the kettle was stationed and she had made herself a fresh cup with a hint of lemon to settle herself. Usually, she would allow herself a bit of a calming moment to go through something that's a bit painful.
Before taking the potion, she needed to prick her finger to ensure that she wasn't taking too much of said potion or would need to wait another day to take it.
Most of the time, that wasn't the case, but it wasn't a grand mixture to take so close to a menstrual cycle.
Allowing her blood to settle into the potion to tell her what she needed to do, she made a bit of busy work and looked into her closet. Making a mental list of all the things she would need from Sarah, or even smiling to see the familiar pieces from nights before.
With the few minutes up, she went to go and strip in preparation to take her bath, yet when taking hold of the actual contraception potion, she turned to see the worst possible color on the damn bottle possible.
She dropped the tonic and scrambled to take hold of the one that's analyzed her blood.
"Shite—Shiteshiteshite." She ushered, her hands running chaotically into her hair as she looked around for an answer, only to nearly step onto the spilled tonic.
