Roan ducked under Lupin's outstretched arm and rushed to Andi, kneeling besides her. "Andi?" he said, his voice full of concern, "You all right?" He was pulled to his feet by Remus, who talked to him a in a low but steady voice. "Listen, Andi just needs her rest for a bit, so just leave her alone for a bit. I'm sure she'll be fine by the feast." Remus tried to put on a cheery disposition.

"I'm alright. Nothing to worry about really. Just a.. little sick. It's okay Roan." She mumbled. "Thanks again dad." She curled up on the seat and concentrated on controlling her inner beast.
"Hey, Roan we should leave her for a bit. She.. looks like she needs to be alone." Alex muttered under his breath to Roan. He stepped away and left the compartment.

Roan cast another look over his shoulder while being pushed out of the compartment by Remus. Remus went back in and got their bags, handing them to Roan and Alex before closing the door and locking it. Roan paced outside the door, wondering what had happened to his friend. "Alex do you have any idea what happened back there? Something similar has happened but... never like that..." He said uncertainly.
Remus strode to his daughter's side and sat down near her head. He placed a hand on her shoulder, making sure she knew he was there. Sometimes the best comfort was simple things like that. "Andi... I need to know, what happened?" he said as quietly as he could. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a slab of chocolate. "Here, you need to eat this." He said, smiling at what he knew was his daughter's favorite treat.

Alex looked over at Roan. "I really don't know. She does this.. sometimes. I've no idea why though. It worries me. Maybe she has some sort of illness or something. I don't really know..." Alex mumbled. He was worried for Andi, she was like his sister.
Andi forced a small grin. "Roan's fault. He tempted me. He waved the chocolate in front of my face. I tried to attack. Alex saved me.." She mumbled in short breaths. It was hard to talk after an episode that bad. She took the chocolate and ate it slowly. It made her feel a bit better, but not good enough to get up.

Remus hugged her tight. "Well as long as you take your wolfsbane potion in a few days, I'm sure you'll be fine. In the mean time, I'm sure your friends are worried sick about you. You strong enough to see them now? Or do you want to wait till the castle?"
Roan had given up his pacing for leaning against one of the walls, thinking about Andi and what she could be going through. "Ahh! I'm going crazy! You think she's alright now?" He asked Alex, his voice laced with concern and worry.

"Well, only one or two of them. I can't take much more. How'd about Alex and.. Jackie? Or Laryn. I have to uhm.. talk to them about... their summers." She mumbled. She couldn't tell her father about having to thank them of course.
"She's tough. I'm sure she's alright." Alex murmured with an unsure tone. "She looks.. I don't know. Sick sort of. I hope she's not in pain." Alex tried to look through the window, but couldn't see inside.

Remus patted her head and whispered, "Okay, I think one at a time is fine." He walked to the door and pulled it open, jumping back in surprise when Alex almost fell on him. "Well, I was going to say Andi can see one of you at a time, but since Alex seems to have volunteered his self, I supposed he can see her first." he ushered Alex in, ignoring Roan's annoyed face.
Stupid Alex, getting to go first just because he had his big nose up against the window. If I had done that, I would have gotten in trouble or something... Roan thought as he kicked the wall, waiting for Alex to hurry up. They were near the school... another 20 minutes and they would be there.

"Hey, you feeling better?" Alex asked lifting himself up. He sat down opposite her and looked at her worriedly.
"Yeah, just.. a little sick." Andi mumbled trying not to reveal anything about what ha actually happened. She shifted away from him, hoping she wouldn't relapse into her wild state.
He looked at her curiously. "Well, I'm sure everyone else wants to see you. I'll let you see them all." Alex sighed. He didn't want to leave her like this, but he had no choice. Andi nodded and he left her reluctantly.

Jackie shifted her gaze to the sound of two familiar voices. "Hey Alex, Roan."" she said, nodding to both of them. She glanced over Alex's shoulder into the compartment he just came out of. "Is Andi okay? She didn't get caught right?" Jackie inquired with a worried tone. "I'm not liking your guys' expressions...." They both had a concerned look on their face and it looked a little more serious than the drinking episode that happened a little while before.

Roan lowered his voice "No we didn't, but she... Feeling sick I guess. Something happened, we just don't know what, even though we were th-" Cutting off when Remus poked his ead out and saw Jackie. "Ahh Jackie!" Remus said. "Andi was asking for you. Come on in." He pulled the door shut behind them.
Roan slumped against the wall in frustration, grumbling to himself. "God... guess I'm not gonna get to see her at all..." He took out a ball from his pocket and started playing a version of hackysack but with magic.

"Sick?" she asked, but as soon as the words left her tongue, she was pulled inside. Jackie looked up at Professor Lupin and was surprised to see him. "Hi Prof- Andi!" she exclaimed, looking from the professor to her friend. She took a seat next to her and glanced around the compartment. "How're you feeling?" she asked, her tone a bit softer. Once she took in the surroundings, she realized this had nothing to do with the firewhiskey. Roan and Alex were too worried, and Lupin wasn't at all angry. After years of being good friends, Jackie knew that Andi had some 'health' episodes, but she didn't know why or what happened during them. But whenever they did happen, Andi was usually out of it and her dad sometimes got involved.

Andi lifted her head weakly. "Hey, thanks for.. before. That could have been.. bad. I'm feeling alright. Just a bit sick. It's no big deal.. It's happened before." She shrugged. "Is everyone else out there waiting? It's not like I'm dying or something. They don't need to crowd around.."

Jackie nodded. "No problem....and yeah, there's a line out there for you." she said with a small smile. "I think Roan's dying to get in here." she added, glancing out of the compartment door window. He looked pretty anxious out there. After a moment or two of looking out the other window, to the outside, Jackie felt a feeling of excitement swell inside her. "I can feel it...we're almost there." she said with a grin, trying to pick up her mood a little. Jackie dug around in the muggle purse her father had bought her and pulled out a piece of ordinary looking gum. But it was from Honeydukes, and it tasted like anything you were in the mood for. As she handed one to Andi, she said, "I can't wait for some food and a warm bed!"
Jackie popped a piece of the gum into her mouth and tore her eyes away from the castle that lay ahead of them. "I'll let someone else have a turn now. Want anything from the snack cart- Pumpkin juice, candy, water...?"

Despite her sickness Andi instantly brightened. "Yeah, so close to being back. I missed Hogwarts so much.. I mean, life home is great and all, but it's not Hogwarts. Plus, my mom isn't quite the best cook." Andi giggled. "I'll be fine. Thanks though Jackie! Is he really? Ugh, well send him in next I suppose." Andi sighed. She nodded a quick goodbye to Jackie and waited for Roan to come in.

Roan slowly got up, and put away his temporary entertainment. He sloched through door Remus held open for him, making sure his hair hid his head, and he kept shuffling in, trying to do his best to look Emo and depressed. He stopped short of Andi and held his hand up, and made a fist with his thumb and his pinky streched out. "Yo." He lifted his head slightly, made slight eye contact, and a corner of his mouth lifted up in a smile he was trying to hold in. He stopped the depressed act and kneeled down. "You feeling alright?" He asked, trying to keep it light hearted, and as if he wasn't that worried.
