Anna gaining back some of her strength though she still wasn't doing very well. She was still tired and fell asleep in class a few times. (Though the teachers excused this after proffeser McGonagall explained the situation. The WWKE meetings started up again although Lucas did most of the talking. Anna still didn't have enough strength to do much. Allen had stopped attending the meetings. He felt that he wasn't wanted, at least not by Lucas and Anna, and at this point even befriending them was pretty much a lost cause.

Anna hadn't eaten much in the past couple of weeks and had lost quite a bit of weight which worried Lucas but she was eating more and more and was looking a lot more like herself again. Lucas was glad to see the colour back in her cheaks.

Anna and Lucas were sitting at the breakfast table that Sunday morning. Anna was picking at her food quietly when something dawned on her. "It's a hogsmead weekend isn't it?" She asked Lucas."Yeah." Lucas said. "But why don't we just stay here and rest Anna." Anna sighed."No I'm fine." She said. Lucas looked sceptical. "Really I am. I've been stuck in this castle for the past two weeks and I'm bored out of my mind. Come on let's go to hogsmead. I'll tell you if I need to sit down I promise." Lucas raised an eyebrow."Alright." He said giving in."But let's not stay to long okay?" Anna laughed. "You really don't have to worry about me so much you know." Lucas grinned."I'll always worry about you." He said kissing her forehead.

Anna walked through the snow with her head on Lucas's shoulder. She was becoming a little out of breath after the walk from the castle. "Come on." Lucas said. "Let's go get a drink at the three broomsticks." Anna nodded and they walked in the door. Anna quickly sat down at a small booth while Lucas bought them both butterbeer.

"Anna." Lucas said. Anna looked up at him silently. "I think we better go to the hospital wing or talk to proffeser McGonnagall about this. You are way too week and tired to continue on like this and something is obviously wrong. Anna didn't even try to fight back, which wasn't like her at all. She nodded slowly and silent tears fell down her cheaks.

Lucas wrapped his arms around her and wiped the tears from her eyes. "It's going to be okay sweety." He said trying to calm her. "It's all going to be okay."
