★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★
You loved your curses and death traps class because of her, but you also struggled because of the physical aspects of the class. Recently, due to the changing seasons you noticed your asthma flaring up. You'd become out of breath extremely easily, but no one here knew of your condition or what to do to help you so they just assumed it was you over execrating yourself.

After sparring with your fellow classmate you could feel your chest tightening, the air getting harder and harder to suck in. The feeling of almost suffocating from within panicking you. Tears pricking at your eyes as you tired to remind yourself you're not dying, just to breathe. But your breaths sped up and became more painful. Your brain beginning to turn fuzzy due to the lack of oxygen there. You were now panicking, which was only worsening your symptoms.

You barely recognised Lady Lesso sending you outside the class room, you figured she probably mumbled something about the disturbance you were causing but here and now you couldn't worry about that.  Immediately you sunk to the floor, body bending into its self as you sobbed struggling to breathe. That's how she found you when she came to check on you. It was clear something was wrong but she had no idea what it was.

"Sweetheart? What's happening?" She murmured crouching down to your level. This was the side of Leonora that rarely came out but here and now it's exactly what you needed. You weren't able to answer her though, so she did the only thing she could think of.

Pulling you into her lap so your back rested against her chest, she settled against the stone walls to keep you both upright, "breathe with me sweetheart, just keep breathing. You feel that? Can you breathe with me?" She whispered to you placing a hand on your chest to feel how manic your breathing was. "Good girl, just like that. Nice and slow. You're doing so well sweetheart."

With a few more minutes and comforting words you were able to gasp out, "right pocket" which Leonora quickly located and pulled out the little blue chamber looking item. "This?" She quizzed not really understanding why in your current condition you wanted some L shaped chamber. With shakey hands you took a hold of it and took a greedy drag of the drug. Repeating the process once more before dropping it to the floor and clutching at your chest attempting to curl back up. "No no no sweetheart you need to keep your air ways open" she murmured to you, even though she had no idea what was happening with you, keeping your air way open was always important.

For you, it felt like seconds really, your brain still thinking you were dying as the drug began to work. Lesso held you until your breathing returned to a normal rate, only now your whole body was vibrating. "Sweetheart what on earth just happened to you" she murmured, "why are you shaking love?"  "I have asthma"you gasped still feeling the slight burn, "need to take inhaler to fix it." She nodded along understandably you were struggling to talk. "Why are you shaking" she murmured holding your hands as the shook manically. "Side effect of inhaler" was all you offered.

"What can I do to help? I don't want my Never to suffer alone" you felt your little heart skip at the care, "what you did helped" you murmured nuzzling into her hold. "Mmm tired" you tried to hide your little yawn, it wasn't uncommon that these attacks would exhaust your body and mind. "Come, you can rest in my office, I'll excuse you from classes and come to check in on you later" she murmured swiftly carrying you to her office and resting you on her sofa with a blanket. "I'll be here for you darling" was the last thing she murmured before going back into her dean attitude and heading back to the classroom.
