“Oh, Nick, you look awful,” Charlie said quietly as he sat next to his boyfriend, his brow furrowed with concern. “Are you feeling ill?”
Nick shrugged one shoulder. “Got caught in the rain,” he croaked.
Charlie frowned and held his fingers to Nick’s forehead. “You feel a little warm.”
“I’m okay. Just a bit of a sore throat.”

“Are you alright?” Severus asked, eyeing the boy over his copy of the Daily Prophet. The boy was pale and drawn-in, not acting like his usual self. They may have been rivals in the past, but Severus had grown to enjoy the boy’s company, and he knew that Harry was attached to him.
Harry nodded as he added milk to his tea. “Fine.”
Severus frowned at the sound of Harry’s voice. “Are you ill?”
Harry looked up with a mix of surprise and terror on his face.

Summary
Shortly after Neal got out of prison, he woke up with a nasty cold. It wasn’t anything he couldn’t work through, but he felt miserable. He hid his symptoms as best as he could, dosing himself to the gills with Sudafed and DayQuil. It was going well until all of a sudden, one day, it wasn’t.

“Please don’t make us smell your deviled ham,” Neal begged, bile rising in the back of his throat at the thought.
“Oh, stop whining, you’ll be fine.” Peter pulled out his lunch bag that El had packed him that morning and waggled his fingers excitedly. “Have you ever even tried deviled ham?”
“No, and I never want to,” Neal said, pulling his jacket up over his nose.

Summary
“Hi, Char,” Nick said, his voice wrecked from throwing up all day.
“Nick! You look awful. Are you okay?” Charlie wished more than anything that he’d decided to go to Leeds this weekend.
“I’ve been better.” Nick didn’t seem to have much energy for talking.
“Want me to hop on the train?” Charlie asked, worrying his bottom lip between his teeth. “Or maybe I can borrow Mum’s car, though I doubt she’ll let that fly.”
“No. No, I’ll be alright. I just can’t keep anything down at the moment.”

Summary
The next eight hours passed in a blur that Josh couldn’t recall. The next time he was mostly aware of his surroundings, it was because someone was knocking on his door. Non stop. Wrapping the comforter around his shoulders, he shuffled to the door and pulled it open without checking to see who was outside.
It was Donna.

“Stop getting out of bed!” Bobby yelled from the kitchen. He could hear the pitter patter of little feet moving around upstairs and Dean and Sam were supposed to be resting. The Singer-Winchester household had been hit with the back-to-school cold and the boys had been running on fumes all week. Now that it was the weekend, Bobby was determined to make them rest so they could recover.

“Dean, wake up, kiddo,” Bobby said gently, rubbing a hand through Dean’s hair.
Dean turned his head away from Bobby but didn’t wake up.
“Dean,” Bobby said a little louder. He didn’t want to scare him.
Dean jumped awake, his arms coming up to cover his face out of habit.
“Easy, easy. Just me. Dinner’s ready.” Bobby backed up to give Dean some space to sit up. “You feelin’ alright?”
Dean rubbed a hand down his face and nodded. “Was cold.” He cleared his throat and looked around, shivering. “You’re not cold?”
“No, I ain’t cold cause I don’t got a fever.” Bobby put one hand on Dean’s forehead and the other on the back of his neck to hold him still. “When did ya start feelin’ sick?”

Neal’s stomach flopped and he had to swallow thickly and keep his eyes glued to the city passing by outside his window so that he didn’t lose his breakfast.
“You alright?” Diana asked from the driver’s seat. “You’re being awfully quiet.”
“Fine,” Neal muttered, not daring to say more.

“Okay?” Charlie asked, propping himself up on one elbow to look at Nick. Frowning, he noticed the way that Nick’s nose and eyes were red and watery.
Nick nodded, his breath hitching. “Yeah, just—HTTTCH!” He sneezed forcefully into his elbow, quickly followed by a second and then a third.

Merlin was feeling a little dizzy, though he wasn’t sure why.
“We should go investigate, obviously,” Arthur replied. He paused when he looked at his friend. “Are you alright?”
Merlin perked up. “Course.”
Arthur narrowed his eyes and frowned at how pale Merlin looked. “Are you sure? You’ve gone as white as a sheet.”
Nodding, Merlin went to step out into the field and instead practically fell sideways into the trunk of a tree next to him.

Summary
After a shower, Neal dressed in an extra layer and made himself a cup of tea to sip on during his ride to the office. By the time he got off the train he wanted to turn right around and go home again. He couldn’t remember how fast Mozzie’d been taken down, but the fact that was already freezing one second and then burning the next didn’t bode well for him.

Summary
Harry had been looking forward to his camping trip with the Weasleys for weeks, but when he woke up the morning of the trip, there was an anxious roiling in his stomach that he found hard to ignore. Since becoming Severus’ ward, Harry spent summers with Severus at Spinners End. He was allowed to visit his friends under Severus’ care, a fact he was over the moon about, and Ron had suggested going on a camping trip. Arthur and Molly took the family to a lakeside campground every summer, and this year Harry had been invited, much to his excitement. So why on earth was he feeling nervous about going?

Peter looked over at his partner. “Doing okay?”
Neal’s head was lolled back against the seat and he looked like he was mostly asleep. “Hmm?”
“I asked if you’re doing okay. You’ve been awfully quiet today.”
Nodding, Neal shifted so that he was sitting more upright instead of being slouched like he had been. “Yeah. Tired, I guess.” Truthfully, his throat was starting to ache, but he didn’t want to admit that.

Summary
It was 3am when Nick woke, coughing so hard he thought he might throw up. He pushed himself up so that he was sitting and struggled to breathe and not cough; he didn’t want to wake Charlie.
“Nick?”
“‘M okay,” Nick wheezed. If only he could just get a full breath in he could stop coughing.
Charlie felt Nick’s forehead and frowned. “You’ve got a temperature now,” he said quietly.
