The girl almost bolted to her feet, about to tackle the woman and shake her shoulders in disbelief. Almost. "Joshua's alive!?" She didn't stop "sniveling", Louisa started to actually sob, relieved, happy. And now she could breathe without the knife stabbing her chest or the rock pressing her lungs. He was badly hurt but alive... that was more than what Louisa expected. "Merlin... thank you.. thank you so much.." SOBSOBSOB. She wanted to hug Lafay! To give her a deep bow! To kiss her hands! Anything!

But the woman's next words cut Louisa's thoughts of gratitude off, the Ravenclaw's sobs slowing down and she ended up just sniffling. Her blurry-with-tears vision was fixated on the professor and the vial in her hand.

A favor? Like... a school favor? Louisa would arrange the woman's potions? Clean her office? Massage her feet?

Or was it something bigger than this?

The seventeen years old slowly wiped her face with the sleeve of her robe, "I remember him. Every time I look or touch my hair, he's right there in my head.. smirking.. sneering.. and.." she took a deep breath, "I can feel his grip on my hair..." Which was why she never let her hair fall loosely on her shoulders anymore.

"I want him out of my head," she told the woman before standing up and taking the potion in her hand.

At any cost, Louisa wanted Atropos out of her head at any cost.
