Prof Addis walked into the Kitchens, feeling quite peckish. Once inside he saw several people already in there. He stood rigid when he registered Apronia, Lisa and Fin. He smiled awkwardly as he proceded to find a House Elf to help him find something to eat. When they saw him, they stopped talking as he was only in muggle clothes.
"It's rude to stare, especially by a student in my own House who should be asleep in her dorm." He said. "Good Morning, Apronia, Fin, morning." A house elf quickly came over to him and handed him a small pastry puff and a pint of butterbeer. "Thank you." He said to the House elf before eating the food.

Apronia sighed invisibly. ¨Come with me, Lisa. I´ll return the points to your house in exchange for your help in my garden.¨ she knew that 4am was a bit early, but her garden was lovely by moonlight. She drank the last of her coffee and moved to the door. ¨Points or garden?¨ she asked the girl.

Lisa collapsed into the nearest chair, the recent sleepless nights finally getting to her. Her eyes were coated with a glassy shine as she tried her hardest not to let her tears fall. Twisting her fingers together, she looked up at the Gameskeeper.
"They- I... I shouldn't be getting nightmares!" She cried out, her face in her hands. "But the forest is just so terrible..." She choked back a sob, holding back her tears.
She felt as if she were a small child, not the young lady she had tried to be for so long. Her fear of the dark, her nightmares... All of it made her pathetic and weak.

Apronia walked back to the table, pulling Lisa's hands away from her face.
"Lisa, your fear does not make you weak, does not make you a child. You are right to fear the Forest as it is now. No one controls their own dreams. As long as you fight your fear, and tell yourself you are silly for having it, it will continue to haunt you. It is only by accepting your own terror and understanding why it is there that it ceases to control you." she stood there, holding Lisa's hands and waiting for the girl to meet her eyes.

Lisa stared at Apronia, her eyes finally meeting the wise ones of the older woman. She let out a soft sigh, her tense fingers slowly loosening in the tight grip. Finally, after minutes of silence she offered a small, shaky smile. She had always felt weak, it was nice to be told she wasn't.
"Thank-you," she said, her voice barely audible. Then, removing all traces of grief off her face, she said, "And, I'd love to help you with your garden."

"Very well." Apronia led the way to the door, thinking with a sigh that Lisa's battle with her fears was far from over. "Good morning, Professor, Fin." she nodded to them and led Lisa out of the castle to the garden.
