Teddy explained everything to Harry, from their argument, to his concerns for his friend. Harry sat there and listened to his godson talk, nodding along and saying reassuring words every now and then. When the Hufflepuff finished, his lip was bitten raw from worry, and his eyebrows were scrunched up, a frown replacing his usual troublemaker smirk. Harry too frowned, hate seeing the three friends so tense around each other. Teddy's hair changed to a tangled mess of blue, showing his sadness.

"Ted, give Kat some time to cool down, and sometime today you should take her somewhere quiet and ask her what's wrong. Maybe she just needs someone to listen to her," He said, giving the Hufflepuff the best advice that he could. Teddy thought it over for a few moments, red rimmed eyes looking around the pristine Hospital Wing. He seriously hated this place, it gave him the creeps.

"Thanks Harry, I definitely will ask Kat what's going on later. On another note, you seriously need to get out of this place, it's too depressing, cold and clean in here," As if Madame Pomfrey had some sort of detection spell, she appeared out of her office, shaking her head at the two troublemakers.

"I agree with Mr. Lupin over here on the you need to get out of here, and I hope you don't come back soon because you've had quite your fair share of hospital wing visits, Mr. Potter," She said, before turning to the boy.

"And no, it is not too cold or depressing," she stated, putting air quotes around depressing, "It needs to be that way for patients. Now no funny business Lupin, or I will see to it that your head of house will hear about you doing something in here again," The twinkle in her eyes let both of the troublemakers know that she wasn't mad. Around Christmas time, he and the rest of the trio charmed the cards into singing muggle Christmas Carols; and every single piece of fabric, including bandages, had an irreversible color charm on them for two weeks, the colors red and green instead of stark white.

"In my defense, the spirit lifted for everyone stuck here around the holidays,"Teddy rolled his eyes, putting his hands up. Harry watched this whole ordeal with a bemused smirk, happy because his hair was back to its usual teal. Madame Pomfrey only rolled her eyes at his statement, rolling up her sleeves even though all she did was wave her wand over Harry, a piece of parchment appearing. Glancing over the words that magically got scribbled, smiling as it appeared to be good news.

"You can leave, your stats look good. The only thing I ask is that you start eating again, but don't eat too much all at once. Also, I am going to give you a new batch of anxiety and sleep potions, because that is the main cause of your episode earlier. Lastly, come back in two days so I can monitor your progress. This round of anxiety and sleep potions will last you a week, so come back then again regardless if you need more or not," Harry thanked her, before getting up off of the bed and slipping his jeans back on, since he was stripped out of his robes and into his boxers and undershirt. The two walked out of the Hospital Wing five minutes later, Harry's arms weighed down with the bag of potions.

"Harry," Teddy began after a few minutes of walking through the castle. Teddy was excused from his last two classes, seeing as Harry was technically family and Harry was also allowed to have someone fill in for him, as per doctor's orders. The two were aimlessly walking, unintentionally walking towards the black lake.

"Yeah?" Harry asked after another moment of silence, he could hear the timidness in his godson's voice. Teddy stared at his feet, trying to figure out how to word what he was going to say.

"Why did you have the anxiety attack earlier? Your anxiety hasn't been that bad in months, why suddenly now? Did something trigger it?" Harry stopped walking tuning towards Teddy. The professor sighed, running a hand through his messy curls. He took a minute to gather his thoughts, taking this time to look around. The two were outside, mainly alone except for a few stragglers that had the period off. Noticing that they were near a tree, Harry dragged the student over to it, both sitting down.
