Inglorious Bastards [Theodore Nott]

Chapter Twelve

Like many other schools, Hogwarts had secrets, and Harry and Quirrell's face off at the trapdoor was one as well. And if there was a secret in a school, the whole school body knows about it. Hermione, Ron, Carina, and Roman were not let out of the Hospital Wing immediately for further checking and rest. And did not argue, especially Carina and Roman, whose legs left like were going to break.

"We just ran, why does it hurt like this?" Carina tried to massage her legs but Madam Pomfrey swatter her hands away.

"I'm never going to run that long again!" Roman groaned in pain.

"Oh, please, stop it you two, it's not that bad." Madam Pomfrey said.

Soon, while in the Hospital Wing, students started visiting them – well, Harry mostly – to drop their gifts of admiration for, once again, saving the day. Sweets, get-well-soon cards, letters, and even cakes were left by his table, leaving Carina and the others to simply stare at it while Harry continued to sleep soundly.

"Would he notice if I took his wand licorice?" Carina wondered out loud as she fixed her robes. She and the others were finally discharged from the Hospital Wing to rejoin their Houses.

"He's asleep, it's not like he'd notice – besides, Weasley's already opening Harry's Chocolate Frogs." Roman pointed at Ron.

"Ron!" Hermione reprimanded him.

"What?" Ron said.

The door of the Hospital Wing opened and entered two students they were not expecting. It was Morgan Diggory and Theodore – who walked a few paces behind the Hufflepuff.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I thought you were not going to be discharged until tomorrow." Morgan spoke.

"Madam Pomfrey said we're good to go." Roman answered. "Is there something you need?"

"No... I was just..." Morgan fidgeted.

Roman noticed the bags of chocolate he held in his hands. "You could just put those there; we'll tell Harry that you came over."

"No, they're not for Potter, they're for you." Morgan said, but then blushed when he realized what he said. His hair turned pink, intriguing everyone, even Theodore. "I meant you two – they're for you two. Roman and Carina. I mean – also Hermione and Ron – so three – I mean four."

Carina and Hermione glanced at each other at Morgan's flushed face and smiled.

"Well, thanks." Roman chuckled. "You're probably the only one who actually brought us something."

"Well, Potter wasn't the only one who went to the trap door." Morgan spoke. "You guys also –"

"We didn't." Roman said. "Well, Hermione and Ron did, but Rina and I didn't. We were the distraction... so, I think those are just for Hermione and Ro – OW!"

Carina kicked Roman in the leg. She then sent him a look to just thank Morgan for the chocolate. Their exchange had Morgan chuckling. A sound that had Roman turn to him with a raised brow.

"Even so, you two did a huge part." Morgan placed the chocolates on Roman's bed. "I'll see you at the Great Hall."

"Alright, we'll see you then." Roman said, awkwardly.

"He'll see you there, Morgan." Carina added. "And thank you for the chocolates!"

After saying goodbye, Morgan left, leaving Theodore at the room with the three awake Gryffindors and one Slytherin.
