19. Jelly Legs

With wide eyes, Teddy listened as Lux explained to him what had happened to her in the Forbidden Forest. His sister had told him a little about it since she had attended Hogwarts at the time, but there was no way she could share EXACTLY what had happened.

He couldn't believe it.

"So you dropped your wand and were completely defenseless?" What a scary thought! He had no idea what he would do in that situation. Lux was really brave for being able to pull through. He was proud of her.

She nodded. "Yep, and they kept us in a huge web for what felt like forever. They kept giving us food, but I wouldn't eat most of it. I ended up being so very tired and weak." It had been awful, but she managed to lose weight and that helped make her less appetizing.

"Finally the search party came and rescued us. Adi cut me loose. I remember feeling as if I'd collapse if he didn't hold on to me; it was as if I was hit with the Jelly Legs Jinx!"

It had been awful.
