They soon reached the portrait of the now of fruits. Lilli reached up to tickle the pear, standing on her toes. Still... She wasn't tall enough. Her fingertips stretched toward the fruit, but to no avail.

"Here," Amelia said, standing on her toes as well. She jumped up and hit it loose, then managed to grab it and handed it to Lilli.

Lilli smiled. "Thank you." she tickled the pear, watching as the painting swung open to reveal a kitchen full of bustling house elves.

Tessa sat in the corner on the floor, a pile of books surrounding her. One lay open in front of her, and she restlessly flicked through the pages, brow furrowed. The Ravenclaw stretched, feeling her spine click uncomfortably as it arched. She had been in the library for hours, poring over the books and every time she came across those two words, her heart sank even more.

Giovanni was browsing through the shelves, picking out O.W.L. books for Bianca, when he noticed Tessa. He wondered if he should approach her. She looked something like a kicked puppy as she read her books. Quickly putting his selected titles down on a table, he sat down by the Ravenclaw. "Hello, Tessa. What are you reading?"

She slammed the book shut, pushing it behind her and plastering a smile on her face. "Oh, hey Giovanni! Nothing, I was just brushing up on Potions, that's all."

"Tessa," He said with a sigh. "You looked like you were about to cry. I doubt a Potions book would evoke that much emotion. What were you really reading?"

She scowled. People always could read her like a book. "Look, it's probably nothing, okay, but I'm just checking the magical medical advice books. I've not been feeling all that great recently."

He paused for a moment, raising his eyebrows. "You're afraid you have an eating disorder?" he guessed quietly, staring her in the eyes.

"No," she said abruptly, before faltering. "Well, possibly. I can't rule it out. But I'd know if I had one, right? It's true that I haven't been eating awfully well, but I'm perfectly happy with my weight at the moment..." she sighed. "I don't know, maybe it's just an infection or something."

Giovanni glanced away for a moment, sighing. "The problem with eating disorders is that you don't always know when you have them. You might think you don't, but you do. And when you finally acknowledge it, it's possible to recover. Some of the signs are things like... like thinking it's an infection, but never going to a nurse. Or hiding it constantly."

Tessa shook her head. "Anorexia, bulimia, they're to do with mentality. I don't feel like that, I don't think. Anyway, like I said I'm sure it's nothing. Don't tell the others about this, please?"

"I won't," he promised. "But I do think you should go to the nurse. Just to confirm that it really isn't an infection."

"I'll give it a few days first," she said reluctantly. "And if I'm still not better I'll go to the hospital wing."

He gave her a look, eyebrows raised. "Are you sure?"

Tessa nodded, resolute. "It probably isn't anything serious anyway." She smiled at him, searching to change the subject. "So why are you here?"

"Just getting some O.W.L. books for Bianca. And I'll ask the librarian to convert a few to Braille later for Nicolas. Also, there came in a new shipment of Diagon Alley catalouges and I want to see if I can get Nicolas a few new binders for Christmas. Goodness knows he needs some, he's outgrowing his old ones..."

She laughed. "You're so busy, let me help you with something. I sorted out everything for Christmas weeks ago."

He smiled at her, glancing at his own pile of books. "Could you sort between those and see which ones you think Bianca will be able to stand without throwing them out the castle windows? I need to go fetch those catalouges."

Tessa grinned. "I reckon I can manage that."
