The boy had turned and fled the area before Gabriella could ever finish the thought.

"Well, I've never..."

With the coupon back in hand, Gabriella turned her attention to Alexa, who was busy saying her apologies. "Thank you, Miss Kennedy, and here," she said, passing the coupon to her instead.



"...might as well hand it over, since I've already got it in hand. Apparently your friend had no use for it," she said, nodding in the direction the "Duke" had fled. "I have about a million and one of these, and I can't possibly use them all. Please, have a free butterbeer on The Hog's Head. I hear you lot are headed to Hogsmeade soon."

She narrowed her eyes when Alexa asked what the jug had to do with her being in the Hospital Wing. Gabriella would have replied with an "I believe I asked you a question first, Miss Kennedy," but she gave up in the long run and explained. Besides, the two girls had been through an ordeal.

"Apparently, there was a mixture of something or another in this jug. It caused you two to become severely confused and in need of a wit-sharpening potion. I believe your friend, the Hufflepuff boy I just spoke to, can explain a bit better," she said. "Regardless, I think there must have, unfortunately, been a Confusing Concoction mixed in."
Confusing concoction.... I reckon that would explain loads. Alexa nodded, still unclear on what had been going on. She smiled and took the coupon from the lady and said, "Thanks a million, ma'am. I am still really blank, for lack of a better word. I can only remember little bits and pieces from the time I got on the train until now. Is that what a Confusing Concoction does? I am no good with Potions, so I am not even sure what that is."

She then grimaced and looked at Enid. "Dude, I am so sorry. I guess I shouldn't have shared that pumpkin juice with you?" she said with a crooked grin. She couldn't help it.. she began to giggle a little bit.

Turning back to the Healer she asked, "So what exactly have we been up to?" This was bound to be good.
