The Yule Ball

"Don't worry, my mom'll fix you right up." Elrohir said confidently. "You'll be fine, you'll see."

SOnia gave hima weak smile. "If you say so, then I guess she will."

"She will." Elrohir said simply, smiling softly. "Just trust me."

"I do." Sonia says smiling brightly at Elrohir beore coughing again. She soon fell asleep, exhausted from coughing so much.

Elrohir frowned slightly at her coughing, but didn't say anything, not wanting to disturb her sleep. He sat back in his seat and stared out the window until they arrived at St. Mungo's. He reached over to Sonia and touched her gently on the shoulder to wake her up.

Sonia smiled softly. She looked at him. "We're here already?" she asks finishing the last of the potion.

"I got a really good driver." Elrohir smiled. He stepped out of the cab and went around the other side to open the door for Sonia. "Don't worry, we'll be in and out of here in no time."

Sonia wasn't so sure about that. She slid out and handed the cup to Elrohir.

Elrohir took the cup and led Sonia inside to the information desk. The witch at the desk had been expecting them and sent them straight to the room waiting for Sonia where Elrohir's mother was standing.
"Oh good you made it. Feeling any better Sonia?"

Sonia nodded. "I'll be find. It'ss just a cough." She says before yawning.

"Possibly, but I'd like to keep you here for a while, just to be safe." Elrohir's mother said, looking apprehensive. "For now, you should go to sleep."
Elrohir opened his mouth to protest Sonia's staying very long, but his mother cut him off and he clamped it shut again.
"If you really care about her as much as I think you do Elrohir, you won't object to me making absolutly sure she's alright." His mother said to him in an undertone, then left him alone with Sonia.

Sonia's eyes had widened. "Keep me here for awhile? B. . .but she can't, can she?" she looked like a deer in the headlights. "I have a home to take care of and my brother."

Elrohir twitched uncomfortably. "My mom just wants to make sure you're absolutly all right, that's all. And I think Descartes will be alright, won't he? He's got Maik with him afterall."

Sonia looked down at her feet. She really didn't like this at all. "Um, okay."

"You're not very happy about this are you." Elrohir said with a sigh.

Sonia shook her head. "I think I developed a phobia of hospital, muggle or magical." She confesses blushing a light red.

Elrohir frowned slightly, looking concerned. "I'll stay with you, if you'd like."

"Thanks, I would really love that." She says hugging him tightly.

Elrohir hugged her back just as tightly. "Then I'll stay by your side until you leave."

SOnia gave him a small smile. "What about our work?"
