It's the first few weeks of October; since Leo was recalled, and Piper started dating a mortal named Dan, which didn't turn out so well, so she back with Leo, he lost his powers for a while, but got them back having to save Prue from Darklighter. And Carmela has been up to her eyebrows in new Whitelighters. So she hasn't been around lately, but she does check in from time to time.

Lexi has been feeling under the weather for a few days, change of seasons, summer was coming to a close; it was getting chilly at night. Being that the castle was drafty and it didn't help that she had to travel to the fourth floor getting to her dorm. Cedric and Lexi had become really close friends. Some would say they were even dating but Lexi didn't see Cedric that way.

It was supper time and Lexi sat at the Hufflepuff table today, with her hands around a mug of hot tea, she picked at her plate of food. Her eyelids felt heavy, like she hasn't been getting enough sleep.

"Lexi?" asks Cedric, who was worried for his friend.

Lexi glanced up, "Yes"

"Are you feeling well?" questioned Cedric, "If you're not, I can help you back to your room."

"I'm feeling little Queasy, I think I'm going to bed early, I don't feel like eating." Lexi replied, as she stood up. She didn't even feel like drinking her tea. She had gotten a box of Nyquil cold and flue from Piper, earlier in the week. Because in one of the letters sent back home she asked for it. She started walking around the tables to get to the doors, when her vision started to spin,

Five people from different tables watched anxiously as Lexi swayed, one stood up and ran for her as she started to fall. One; no one thought cared about anyone other then himself,

Lexi didn't know what happened one second she was standing the next she was staring up into Draco's ice blue eyes just like hers.

"Lexi, you're on fire." Draco stated as he put his hand on Lexi's forehead.

"I'm not going to the Hospital Wing, I'm fine." Lexi argued as she tried to stand up. But Draco, Harry, Hermione, Ron and Cedric wouldn't hear of it.

"No, you're not. You're going straight to bed." Hermione stated. "I will get Madam Pomfrey to come to you."

"Fred, George; make yourselves useful," barked Ron. The twins stood up and each took a side and wrapped their arms around Lexi's small frame.

Together, the Gryffindors, Hufflepuff, and lone Slytherin made their way to Lexi's dorm, neither one saying a word to each other.

Hermione helped Lexi change into her warmest nightgown, and packed her into bed.

Lexi gave a weak laugh, "first time, I seen my friends working together and no one calling each other names."

The secret of Draco and Lexi's friendship didn't stay secret like everything in Hogwarts; everyone knew but kept it to themselves. Hermione sat on the edge of Lexi's king size four poster bed,

"Well I still think Malfoy is using you, but I will trust you." Hermione stated.

"Mione, could you open my trunk and give the Nyquil box out please?" asks Lexi blinking sleepily,

Hermione did as she was told, and handed Lexi the two green pills.

"I'm not sure how I got sick, but I think I'll be better in the morning." Lexi stated after the swallowed the tablets.

Hermione stayed just long enough to see Lexi fall asleep, she tiptoed out of the room and back into the common room, Madam Pomfrey was waiting, once Hermione was out of the way she rushed into Lexi's room.

Draco was standing away from everyone facing the fire. While Cedric, Harry, Hermione and Ron, even the Twins stayed to find out what is wrong with their Lexi.

Madam Pomfrey came out a little later with a puzzled look to her face, "I'm not sure what her illness is, but she seems to be sleeping well enough."

"That is because she took some muggle medicine, she said to me when she received the medicine, that everytime this time of year she gets sick." Hermione responds.

Carmela orbed in then, to find all of her Charge's friends and the School Medic-witch, standing there. "Not again."

She closed her eyes, and Summoned Leo.

When Leo arrived, he looked upset to be summoned the he noticed which Elder it was.

"What's wrong?" Leo asks.

"Get the other Charmed Ones, tell them to pack for a long stay, Lexi is sick again." Carmela ordered. "If her sisters aren't here, she's not going to be happy."

"We got to find the reason she keeps getting this illness." Leo replied then orbed away to follow orders.

"I need a tea kettle and a wash cloth; her fever will get worse before it gets better." Carmela took charge of the situation.

"What's wrong with her, I can't seem to diagose the illness." Madam Pomfrey asks.

Carmela sat down an armchair, and put her head in her hands. It was her fault, if she was here watching over Lexi, this illness wouldn't have progress this far.

"When she first came down with this illness, she was five; we thought she came down with a simple fever like one of those childhood illnesses that could be cured with time and patience, it was worse than that she almost died from it. I thought she had cancer or something like that, but I found out with a little research, that blood adoptions between the Wiccan world and this world are forbidden, because the blood ties are so strong that it will create a powerful witch. Why this has come back I'm not sure." Carmela explained while her head was still in her hands. Her voice cracked, "This is my fault, I should have been here, the only reason i'm here now is because I finished with the lastest new group of whitelighters."

"This illness isn't contagious is it?" Madam Pomfrey asks, as she was about leave to get the things Carmela asked for.

"No, everyone is safe to visit. But only for a few hours at a time. Once her sisters arrive we need voluteers to stay with her during hours just to be sure she is able to tend herself."

"I'll do it" Draco stated.

"me too, I can help with her homework seeing as she can't keep her head up," Hermione seconds.

"Her sisters will take care of the personal needs. Bathing and the like." Carmela agreed.
