"Hmmm," Madam Pomfrey began muttering to herself before asking. "Has she been eating?" She asked Gavin because, though Nyssa was conscious, she was not completely functional.

"I'm... I'm not sure," Gavin answered to Madam Pomfrey, feeling like a failure as a friend and prefect for not knowing the condition of his students. "I haven't seen her at the Ravenclaw table, but she has been off with other students from different houses."

Madam Pomfrey leaned closer to Nyssa trying to get her attention. "Have you been eating, Ms Pond?" she asked. Nyssa weakly shook her head in an answer. "That makes this fairly easy." She wandered off and returned with a potion. "Drink this you'll feel better. Spend the night I'll see how you are in the morning."
Nyssa drank the potion making a face before lying back down as Madam Pomfrey left her.

Gavin sat at the cot next to Nyssa's. "Why haven't you been eating?" Gavin asked quietly, leaning forward so Nyssa could hear him.

"Because I've been worried," Nyssa replied weakly. She turned to look at him and curled up on her side.

"You still need to eat because you'll get other people like me worried," Gavin said to Nyssa and brushed some hair out of her eyes. "What are you worried about?"

"You," Nyssa answered simply closing her eyes from the effort.

Gavin's stomach churned. He didn't want to be the reason for Nyssa's sickness. "Why me?"

"I don't want you to hate me," Nyssa said unable to look at him. She wasn't just physically incapable of opening her eyes but also didn't want to see his reaction.

"I don't hate you.. I mean," Gavin stopped talking and sighed. "I don't hate you"

Nyssa didn't quite believe him and stifled the resulting sob. She just nodded her head.

"Nyss.." Gavin moved to Nyssa's bed and sat at the edge and played with her pony tail. "I love you, Nyss... please, don't worry. "

"Love you too, Gavin," Nyssa replied with a weak smile. She grabbed hold of the hand that wasn't playing with her hair. "I'm tired. Don't leave." She liked the feel of him playing with her ponytail. It soothed and relaxed her.

"I wont leave you Nyssa, you never left me," Gavin said, "I'll wait here for days if I have to." Gavin continued to play with her hair. He was happy to know that she did not want him to leave. A light of hope filled his heart and Gavin smiled to himself.

"Thank you," Nyssa smiled again feeling her eyes close again. "Don't sleep in the chair. Not comfortable. Plenty of room." She spoke in fragments and wasn't entirely sure of what she was trying to say to begin with but she hoped he might be able to understand her.
