It's a Hit...Sorta (Founders)

"Tut, tut, my dear," Rowena said as she helped Helga into her room after Godric left their side. She figured he was off to the tavern and was glad he had taken the vial from her, regardless of whether he actually drank the contents or not. At least she had the knowledge that she had tried to save him from himself. That was all she could do in the long run.

"It was simply an elixir to stave off the after-effects of imbibing too much drink," she said as her best friend kicked off her shoes. She reached into the hidden pockets of her dress and produced another vial and held it up to Helga. "Of which you too shall be taking. I can't have you stumbling around the hot kitchen with a headache or upset stomach tomorrow. It should also help you sleep restfully."

Once she was sure that the woman took the offered potion, Rowena set herself to helping her friend disrobe to at least her shift so that she could sleep more comfortably. After assisting her with stepping out of her dress, she carefully set it aside on a piece of furniture where one of the house elves would take care of putting it away. She quickly returned to Helga's side in case her best friend needed further assistance getting into bed.
