[Ellie's P.O.V.]
These few days, Edith's illness had become more and more serious. She was often cooped up in her own room. When I was concerned about her, she would pretend to be strong and act as if nothing had happened. However, when I accidentally passed by her room, I could hear violent coughs coming from inside.
It was not the first time I advised Edith to go to the hospital, but I knew that the injury caused by her mate couldn't be treated with current hospital technology.
While planning today's opening ceremony, I was discussing with Rowling about the speech. I was worried that Edith would not be able to stand for a long time, so I decided to take her place on stage.
Edith didn't agree and insisted on finishing her speech. With determined eyes, she compromised and said she would sit while giving her speech, to which I finally agreed.
