That stuff was icky, dude. Whoever invented it needed to be force-fed it.
Being used to hearing coughing, sneezing, sniffling, and the such, Gabriella barely even flinched when Jake gave another wheezy cough. Confused, she shook her head, nodded, and shook her head again right along with Jake. Eyebrows furrowed, she was about to ask him just what he was trying to say when he finally spoke up and clarified.
"Ahh, I see. What Professor Lupa gave you was probably a Pepperup Potion, which is, I'm afraid, just the right potion to heal what you've got. You just need it in multiple doses rather than in one dose alone," she replied. Sure, the potion wasn't the tastiest in the world, nor was it pleasant to the ears, but it worked ever-so-perfectly when it came to being sick.
Again, she'd give him a spoonful of sugar to help the medicine go down, but he was allergic. Such an unfortunate allergy for a young boy to have. She rummaged through the cabinet for a moment, coming out with two phials of Pepperup.
"Is this what you had before?" she asked.
"If it was, you only need two more doses." She held one phial out for Jake.
