"Is this all real? Or has this been happening inside my head?"
The topic of this article is of a real-life subject that has been mentioned "in-universe" in a canon source. The Harry Potter Wiki is written from the perspective that all information presented in canon is true (e.g., Hogwarts really existed), and, as such, details contained in this article may differ from real world facts. |
Ague is a term that refers to an illness (such as malaria) characterised by alternating fits of fever, chills, and sweating.[3]
Treatment
Eating whole Ashwinder eggs was a known magical cure for ague.[1] There was also a potion that was used for curing ague.[2] However, if it was brewed incorrectly, it could be fatal. Quintia McQuoid died in the early 15th century after consuming an improperly-brewed batch of this potion.[2]
In the 12th century, Muggles in the village of Stinchcombe, Gloucestershire regularly went to their neighbour Linfred (who, unbeknownst to them, was a wizard) seeking remedies for the ailments that afflicted them. He readily brewed potions for them, including cures for pox and ague.[4]
