Inglorious Bastards [Theodore Nott]

Chapter Forty-Eight

Come morning, students were still in their beds and hungover to actually go to classes. The Yule Ball has passed and it was back to their normal lives. School. The Gryffindor common room was far too quiet for it to be normal. Well, for not at least. Having to wake up early to perform the Animagus incantation, Carina was the first of the Gryffindors to be in the common room, and she made sure to be as far away as possible from the dorms before the alarm. She was already by portrait when the loud banging sound of Fred and George's gift to her – Bombtastic Bombs – followed by the sounds of thuds and groans from the students.

"CARINA!"

Harry, who knew exactly who did it, ran out of their dorm in his pajamas to try and catch the mastermind of their headaches. But when he got to the common room, Carina was already gone and she left a very beautiful banner at the top that said: "HAVE A BOMBTASTIC MORNING!". He sighed in annoyance. He is going to get her for that.

Carina went straight to the Great Hall for breakfast, dodging any Gryffindor she could find. She managed to find Roman already in the Hall. He was sitting beside Morgan at the Hufflepuff table, having breakfast. When the two boys saw Carina, they waved at her way and gestured to the seat next to them, but just as she was to approach them, Harry and some other Gryffindors were there and were marching towards her.

"What did you do?" Roman asked.

"I was very concerned that they might not get up for class, so I set an alarm for them," Carina innocently said.

"Bombtastic Bombs," Roman chuckled. "I'll cross it out at Fred and George's list – but I don't think they appreciate the wakeup call, though."

"Yes," Carina grabbed two muffins from the table and stuck another in her mouth, "Now, I must run."

Carina ran around the Great Hall, trying her best to outrun Harry and the others. Many found the wild goose chase as a form of entertainment and simply watched as the Gryffindors chased their own. Carina did manage to get away from Harry, she was almost caught by the twins, but she managed to slip through their gap and ran out of the Hall.

Theodore, who just entered the Hall watched in confusion as to why the Gryffindors were chasing Carina. We went past the Hufflepuff table to greet Roman good morning and ask what the commotion was about.

"Bombtastic Bombs," Roman simply answered. "Gryffindors didn't appreciate the wakeup call, though."

"I know I wouldn't," Morgan said.

"Can't really blame them, almost everyone got away with tasting the "adult punch" last night... even my head is pounding," Theodore said. "Well, I'm going ahead, see you later at Care for Magical Creatures."

"See ya!"

After a long breakfast with Carina filled with running and eating her muffins, the chase was finally to put an end when the class bell was heard. Most of the students that joined the chase groaned as they forgot to get breakfast, Harry and the Weasleys included, but Carina didn't have a problem with breakfast as she had three muffins in her bag for later. Their first class was Care for Magical Creatures, and as the Houses, Gryffindor and Slytherin went to Hagrid's hut, Carina was happily eating her food, making sure to show it off to Harry who's stomach just growled.

"Harry, as a token for your good sportsmanship," Carina began. "Here is breakfast." She handed him a muffin.

Harry accepted it but still pulled her hair for making him chase her.

"Well, you do deserve that," Theodore spoke after seeing Carina and Harry's exchange.

"I know," Carina turned to Theodore, smiling.
