The Cure For Lisa
"Pardon the interruption, Professor Sprout," Michael said. "but I need to borrow Rafael for a few minutes."
"Is it about Lisa?" Rafael asked Michael.
"You know it is!" Michael answered Rafael.
"I'm coming," Rafael said to Michael, then, he turned to Professor Sprout and asked. "may I please be excused?"
"Of course you may, Mister Moondance." Professor Sprout answered Rafael.
"I'm ready to go." Rafael said to Michael.
A few minutes later, Professor Snape, Michael, and Rafael were all gathered around a cauldron in the potions classroom, they were busy brewing a cure for the love potion of eternal devotion that Malfoy had used on Lisa.
"Now there is something you should know," Snape said as he added the last two ingredients, "this potion has a side effect."
"What's that?" Rafael asked.
"This potion is so powerful that it will make Miss Atwood very drowsy and cause her to sleep for about a day or so, and it may cause a little dizziness too," Snape replied. "but when she wakes up, she'll be completely free of the effects of that love potion."
"Does it have to be that powerful?" Rafael asked.
"Unfortunately yes," Snape said. "because of the potion that Malfoy used on her."
"Yeah," Michael said, shaking his head. "leave it to Malfoy to go straight for the most powerful love potion in the book!"
"Pardon me, Professor," Rafael asked. "but what is Lisa's next class?"
"Miss Atwood as well as Mister Malfoy, Mister Crabbe, Mister Goyle, Miss Parkinson, you, Mister Potter, Mister Atherton, and Miss Biggins all have Potions with me." Snape answered Rafael.
Oh, Rafael thought sourly. just my luck!
In Potions class, Snape motioned to Lisa to come forward.
"Here, Miss Atwood, drink this," Snape said, handing Lisa a teacup. "I know how fond you and Mister Moondance here are of honey lemon ginsang green tea."
Simon and Desi saw Lisa raise the cup to her lips.
Lisa suddenly staggered, she stumbled, her vision blurred.
"What's... going... on... why... do... I... feel... so... exhausted... all... of... a... sudden?" Lisa asked in a dizzy manner.
Snape caught Lisa by her left hand just before she fell to the floor.
"The rest of you keep at your studies," Snape said. "Mister Moondance and I are taking Miss Atwood to the hospital wing."
"Yes, Professor." Desi said.
"We will make you so proud, you will boost points with Ravenclaw and Gryffindor!" Simon agreed.
