There is no immediate change.
It is a distinct challenge to keep him in bed and resting. As he's restless and as he's physically in fairly good shape, it's difficult for him to feel the need. He continues to take the potion regimen (thank you, Severus, for bringing that by).
Poppy, I'm trying to engage him in activities that will keep him occupied without wearing him out -- helping with logistical planning, for instance. Is that the right thing to do? Can he be a bit more physically active, or should we keep him bed bound? He's attempting to avoid the impulse to try to do magic as best he can, and we've been keeping his wand out of the room for now, but it's been such a part of his daily life that when he's especially tired or frustrated, he'll do small things automatically -- like reaching out to try and summon something to him.
Also. Sirius suggested Frank's taking a trip to Saltash once he's had his rest. Especially if there's no immediate change. He would be of use there, which he sorely needs, and his lack of magic would be expected and considered normal under the circumstances.
What are your thoughts? Would it ruin any chance he might have of his magic returning if he spent any significant time in a null field like that? Would it help?
