The next morning came with Cynthia first waking, this was typical of her seeing as she could never sleep past 8am and that was if she was lucky. She padded her way downstairs and sat sipping at coffee alone, reading quietly. Not wanting to wake the others up knowing that they had had a late night and would appreciate the extra sleep that they could get.

Scorpius was next to come down. "Morning Cynthia." He greeted. "Mom and dad still asleep?"

"Yes." She answered. "Would you like me to make you any food?"

"Please Cynthia. I'll just have toast this morning." He answered.

"Okay." She told him and put the toast into the toaster.

"Can we go Pokémon hunting again?" He asked her as he was eating his toast.

"Sure we can." Cynthia agreed.

"Great!" Scorpius exclaimed enthusiastically.

After he'd finished his breakfast the two decided to go out Pokémon hunting, and spent around an hour out, catching a variety of different Pokémon as well as exploring the city until they came across a milkshake shop. "Can we get milkshakes?" Scorpius asked.

"Sure," Cynthia agreed as they went into the shop and ordered milkshakes for themselves, finding a seat to they could enjoy drinking them. After finishing their milkshakes the two headed back to the cottage, to find Draco was finally up.

"Where have you two been?" He asked them protectively.

"Just for a walk Draco." Cynthia answered.

"Okay. You should have left a note." He answered.

"Sorry. We forgot." She apologised and paused for a while, waiting for Scorpius to occupy himself in the other room. "Is Astoria okay?" She asked.

"No. She said her stomach hurts and she's still exhausted even after sleeping for so long."

"Do you mind if I go up and see her?" She asked, presuming Astoria was still in bed.

"No. Not at all. Can you bring her toast and anti-nausea potion to her too?" He asked, as the toast popped up out of the toaster.

"Of course I can Draco." She answered and waited for Draco to put jam on Astoria's toast and put everything on a tray for her to take up.

"Morning Astoria." Cynthia greeted, going into her and Draco's room with the tray.

"Cynthia!" She exclaimed, happy to see her friend.

"Draco asked me to bring these to you." She told her, passing they tray to Astoria.

"Thankyou." She answered, as Cynthia sat beside her on the bed. "How do you feel?"

"Terrible." She answered honestly, just looking at the toast Draco had made her after swallowing the anti-nausea potion.

"You do look pale." Cynthia told her. "Try to eat something."

"Yeah, I will." She answered, and started nibbling at her toast.

"Good. Do you want me to stay with you?" She asked.

"Please Cynth. You're really good at helping me feel better." She answered.

"Thankyou." Cynthia answered, pleased to have received such a lovely complement.

The two of them sat in Astoria's bed for a while, and they talked amongst each other with Cynthia trying to make Astoria laugh and trying to take her mind off of how ill she was feeling. A while later Astoria decided to take a nap and so Cynthia went back downstairs to see the boys.

"How is she?" Draco asked, seeing Cynthia come down.

"I think she's feeling a little better." Cynthia told him. "She's just taking a nap."

"Oh good." Draco answered. "I'm so scared I'll lose her on the days she's like this."

"I know you are Draco." Cynthia answered. "Whatever happens everything will be okay." She reassured.

"Thankyou Cynthia." He responded.

Later on that day Astoria had woken up, feeling slightly better so they went up to Daphne's for dinner to help finish the food and because Astoria wanted to see her before they headed back to Wiltshire the next day.

"Hello everyone." Daphne greeted them warmly when they arrived to their home.

"Hello sis." Astoria greeted back, putting on the façade that she was feeling 100% well.

The group of them talked and ate food for a couple of hours, Astoria only picking at some small bits as her stomach still didn't feel good and tried to engage in the conversations a best as possible to hide how ill she felt from her family as she didn't want them to worry about her.

Fortunatly they went home not too late that evening. "I feel really bad" Astoria told Cynthia as they were walking down to the car.

"I know. Do you need us to take you to st mungo's?" She asked, noticing she looked even paler than she did that morning.

"No. I just need some rest." She answered.

"Okay." Cynthia answered and respected her friend's decision. "Tell one of us if you feel you need to will you?" She asked.

"I will Cynth." Astoria promised.
