Chapter 53: A Little Cure From Rafaela

It has been one day since Gusion got his sickness and took him down to the Hospital Wing. He stayed up there as Rafaela said for an entire day, he also slept there in the light blue pajamas that Guinevere brought him. Guinevere was in the Ravenclaw dorm right now, she was sitting on her bed all alone looking worried about her fiancé. Would he be fine today or what? She thought. In her outfit of the day, she was still fidgeting with her Ravenclaw uniform but without a robe, her necktie almost looked untied. Without further notice, her friend Kagura Soryu saw her from the door and approached her. That made Guinevere jump a little in surprise. Kagura was also wearing her Ravenclaw uniform but with a lady's pants attached to her hips instead of a skirt.

"Hey Guin," Kagura called as she placed her hand on the door's surface. "Are you all right?"

"Sort of..." Guinevere answered. "I'm just worried about something. I just need to be alone for a while."

"Oh okay, sorry for bothering you," Kagura apologized. "I'm leaving you alone now. Bye!"

Guinevere smiled and nodded at her as a thank you response. Kagura smiled back then she left Guinevere alone in her bedroom. Once she left, Guinevere's smile faded, and still worried about her Gusion. She decided to visit him in the Hospital Wing this afternoon. She got up from her bed and walked through her bedroom. Her pet cat Waffles was just sleeping in her owner's bed and didn't bother when her owner went out. She passed through the Ravenclaw Common Room and the hallway. She knew the direction where the Hospital Wing was. Of course, she fixed her necktie first beforehand.

Once she finally reached the hallway where the door of the Hospital Wing was located, she suddenly walked briskly towards the door and opened it. She saw Gusion was sleeping peacefully on his bed. His hands were placed on his stomach, interlocking each finger to one another. On the other hand, Madam Rafaela was standing at the desk beside Gusion's bed, preparing. She looked at Guinevere when she entered.

"Oh, Ms. Baroque. I'm glad that you're here again to visit," Madam Rafaela delighted.

"I just wanted to see Gusion about his status right now," Guinevere said, the reason why she was visiting him. "Do you already make a potion that will cure his sickness as you said? Also, do you know what's the cause of it?"

"I already brewed the potion after Professor Kadita planted the needed ingredients. It will be ready for an hour," Rafaela declared as she placed her hands below her stomach. "By the way about his cause, maybe he stressed that he encountered in the previous days."

"What do you mean by his stress?" Guinevere asked.

"Well, I asked him last night what he did in the previous days. He answered that he was complying with his requirements with you before the O.W.L.s exam," Rafaela answered. "I made a few observations last night too, so I think it's just stress from his compliance that could be the cause of his sickness."

"Oh, I see," Guinevere commented on Rafaela's statement, she put her right index finger on her chin and looked down. "But he doesn't look stressed when he complies with his tasks. He seemed inspired when I helped him comply with his works."

"Well, you might say that but you don't know that he was stressed deep inside too," Rafaela assumed. "I already placed the healing potion on the desk beside Mr. Paxley's bed. We are just going to wait until it is ready."

Guinevere nodded in agreement as Madam Rafaela bowed down to her. She gazed at Gusion with a concerned face, watching him sleep deeply so that she couldn't disturb him from his sleep. She walked closer to his bed and watched his quietly handsome face. She placed her left hand on Gusion's forehead and noticed something about his body temperature. She noticed too that his face looked pale compared to his face yesterday.
