Finishing the whole potion he sat in silence for a few minutes. As the potion started to work he beamed at Althea. "Thank you Althea. That potion saved my head and stopped the vertigo I think. I’m glad you carry such potions around with you." Maybe it was something he should take after but no man carried a handbag around, right? So um yes just maybe keep himself near Althea when he had his little clumsy accidents should be good?

Sighing he nodded "I was planning to clean my hat when I’m less dazed Althea. A perfectly good hat can’t be ridden with filth." It was common knowledge. He might be daft in some ways but when it came to wearing clean clothes he was a big pedant.

Well of course she did. She raised one eyebrow at Eddie and smiled. "It doesn't hurt to be prepared." Poor thing. She had best get him on the train as soon as possible.

She hid a smile at his response about the hat, but she didn't volunteer to clean it for him. He could manage it. Or would be able to soon enough.

Come to think of it, his backpack was like a first aid kit; Essence of Dittany, sanitiser and even some bezoars which his brother brought back from who knew where. Slipping one strap off his shoulder, Hades began to mini-ransack his bag before he pulled out a bottle of translucent liquid. He opened the cap and squeeze the bottle as the lid was directed onto his other palm before he rubbed both palms together. Then, he kept the bottle back into his bag when he noticed the woman eyeing him.

The look made Hades curious, but ended after she asked for his introduction and also the clumsy man thanking him, but didn't know his name. "Hades Vaughn. Yes, I just transferred to Hogwarts," smiled the boy as he looked at the complicated looking couple. His eyes fell on the man who looked like he had one heck of a lousy day.

That explained it. A transfer.

"Well its nice to meet you, Mr. Vaughn. I'm Althea Schirmer, Charms Professor at Hogwarts."

She'd had a few unwelcome visits from her old tutor over the summer - insisting that she needed to try harder at Arithmancy, Charms and - you guessed it - Astronomy. "Are you feeling better?" she asked, because she was pretty sure the train would be leaving at some point soon.

She glanced at Aurora as she spoke with professor Roslund, but Althea didn't say anything. She wanted to know if Eddie was feeling better too.

Kids these days he muttered to himself. Staggering slowly to his feet Edvard waited a second to see if the vertigo would kick in once more. Thankfully Althea's potion had done the trick. He went over and retrieved his trunk. Getting back to Althea, Aurora and the still unnamned boy he asked "Should we get on the train? It can't be long before its leave time." Taking his kneazle carrier from Aurora he said "Thanks for resucing Luna. She seems to have calmed down in your steady hand." Fishing up his hat he waited for Althea to board to the train.

She watched carefully as Eddie moved but he seemed alright. "Take it easy, Eddie." Althea said gently. "Don't overdo it."

She smiled at the children. "I will see you at the feast, Miss Stewart-Quinn, Mr Vaughn." Althea boarded the train.
