A meal and some exercise, for the most part, although the exercise is usually of the sort that isn't suitable in this situation, if you take my meaning. And we're mostly doing that already, so I suppose there isn't much else.
(Although sometimes we have to round up a dozen wands and stun the poor thing to let him or her sleep it off. Which I don't think you'd advise, or he'd let me do -- and I don't want to have to try to get the drop on him right now. Not when he's like this.)
I've got a bit more food and tea into him, and convinced him Snape might know what he's talking about with the standing barefoot on the ground thing, though he snapped at me about the cold, too. (I reminded him we have warming charms for a reason.) Don't know if it really helped, but I figured it couldn't hurt. Snape's a right bastard sometimes, but I don't think he'd try to hurt Bill deliberately, and this is the sort of thing he knows about, right?
Anyway, Bill's calmed down a bit, and he actually won the last chess game, which means he's back to thinking about his moves strategically instead of just attacking straight out. I'm figuring on bringing up the idea of sleep again in another half-hour or so.
(I'm so tired myself right now that I think my eyes are crossing. But I told him I'd stay with him until he's asleep, at least. We've two transfigured cots out here to sleep on. I'm not letting him back in the house until I know my brother's still in there he's feeling better.)
