Back at the Hospital Wing Sirius swaggers over to Laral "Do you want some Tea?" He hiccupped right after he said tea "This is magical tea! It makes you see two and makes you feel dizzy and happy inside!"
Laral raised her eyebrow slightly and Eirlmenn seemed to share her feelings and thoughts about Sirius's current state of mind. "No thank you and I dare say Sirius you shouldn't either." She frowned slightly, flicking her wand in its direction, making it disappear with a slight 'clink'. The rest of the tea also disappeared. She had best do something about his state of mind. Though it was rather convenient. No, she scolded herself silently, she would help Sirius.. So long as he didn't make noise.
"I bet that magic tea can make me fly! Look Tory is flying!" He said pointing at the ghost Sirius jumped off a bed and crashed to the floor "I need more room that's it!" He said running onto a window side and stood up.
Laral shut her eyes tightly in annoyance. Quietly, she mumbles, "Alohomora, Wingardium Leviosa." With that the window shut and locked, then Sirius began to float over to a bed. He was not going to fly out the window, she told herself. If he must fly let him believe he is flying over to a bed. He slowly lowered and fell to the bed. Shaking her head Laral closed her eyes with annoyance once more. With that Eirlmenn swiftly jumped up and flew out the door, returning a moment later with a bottle of fizzing light yellow potion in a bottle. With a flick of her wand the potion poured its self into a summoned teacup. Going over to Sirius she tapped the edge with an unbreakable charm. "Here, drink this Sirius, you'll love it. Magical tea." Eirlmenn landed on her shoulder once more, fixing her bright blue eyes on Sirius, who was lying on the bed.
Getting sick of waiting for Sirius to drink the potion she puts it on the table next to him and asks him to please drink it. With that she turned and left, Eirlmenn flying next to her. She had to find something else out.
Sirius looked at it"Hmm...Tory, come taste this" He handed it to the ghost who happily drank it all.
Tory looked at Laral "Are you kidding? It took away my good feeling! Sirius. Don't drink it whatever you do!"
Laral entered once more, Eirlmenn flying to her shoulder once more. Seeing the empty cup by the ghost she shut her eyes tightly, suppressing her rising anger. Taking a deep breath she let her unfocused gaze fall on Sirius, flicking her wand to summon a chair to sit next to him. She kept her wand out as she sat, summoning another cup of the potion. "Here Sirius, Tory liked the tea, why don't you try it." For goodness's sake if she had to force it down his throat she would!!
Laral looked blankly at Torey in a rather chilling gaze. Turning her unfocused gaze back to Sirius she looked at him and shook her head. "Sirius I'm sorry but it's time for a reality check" With that she mumbled something and flicked her wand repeatedly. A moment later Sirius's jaw was open and the liquid flew into his mouth. With that his jaw snapped shut, refusing to open until the liquid was swallowed. Laral sat there calmly, her wand poised above his head, her eyes steady and unfocused. "Swallow before I have to make you."
Sirius shook his head. Tory started giggling "Don't drink it Sirius, don't do it"
Shutting her eyes tightly, Laral flicked her wand at Sirius, forcing him to swallow. As she did this Eirlmenn leapt from her shoulder and flew out the broken window to the woods, with surprising speed and agility. Laral looked down at Sirius, waiting for her antidote to restore him to his usual mischief making self.
"Yuck! Why is it I'm the one who hates taking potions from everyone but I get forced to drink them...."he said shaking his head. Tory just frowned "Now I have to put up with normal Sirius, thanks a lot" She said pouting.
Laral turned an even stare upon Torey. "Yes now you do." She looked pack to Sirius then, her hauntingly piercing unfocused gaze hovering over his eyes. "There's a rather large problem in the forest right now, so Eirlmenn seems to be telling me." A small look of slight amusement and confusion passed fleetingly over her face, fast enough to be imagined. "I suggest that we go if you're feeling better.. It might be best that Snuffles goes." Her unfocused gaze did not waver as she delivered the information and suggestions.
"Right, I'll go get snuffles" He looked around the room "Or I'll stay here" he said seeing only her and James were in the room he turned into a big black dog and started barking.
Laral smiled faintly and put her hand on his head, getting up and turning to the door. "Now snuffles, we have to be very quiet and discreet, do you understand?" She silently prayed that he would not go chasing off after something or start barking. "What we see will not be pretty, but you cannot get out of control." With that, she led the great dog out of the hospital wing, holding the doors open for him. Fleetingly, she thought that the ghost might have been a small aid, but then again would most likely be rather horrible in accompanying them and led him to the woods.
