Then as suddenly as it started, it stopped and Alyssa was looking confused..
"How are you feeling now chick?... The potion did work - almost too well", said Penny still shaky from the recent events.
"
Oh Merlin!! IT DID?? What did I say? I hope that you didn't believe what I said. Please believe me. You're my best friend. I wouldn't say or do anything to hurt you. I'd hurt myself first before I ever did that to you."
Alyssa then realized in horror that her arm had been raised over Penny. "
OH NO!! I didn't hit you did I? Please say I didn't. I'm so so sorry. I hate that Hate Potion. I didn't know that the effects were going to be so bad. Thank goodness my time ran out or I could have hurt you. Remind me to NEVER EVER make that potion again.".
Alyssa leaned over and hugged Penny. "
Please forgive me, Penny. I know that I must have hurt you in some way because I can see that your face is pale. I'm so sorry. You know that I didn't mean anything I said. Please believe me. Geesh! this is scary not remembering what happened. Thank goodness we didn't both didn't drink the potion at the same time. Can you imagine the chaos there would have been in the common room!!" Alyssa looked around wondering whether anyone had heard her outburst. They must think that she's certifiably crazy.
"Well it's your turn now. At least I know what to expect. Go ahead. I'll be here for you, Penny." Alyssa assured Penny.
