Inside the Hospital Wing

[Theodore Nott]

Pomfrey got to work waving her wand and trying to figure out what was wrong with the boy. She tried to vanish the remaining potion and was successful though a great deal of his skin was covered in burn marks. The boy was still unconscious and she thought that was probably for the best. She would let him stay that way until he woke up naturally. Walking out of the curtains she went to retrieve bandages and try to find the best solution to heal his wounds.

[Lydia Evans]

Lydia watched the nurse, looking up hopefully but was ignored as she walked past. She sat down and did her best to calm down. She felt Bean land on her shoulder and looked to him, patting his head.

[Theodore Nott]

The nurse ignored the girl sitting there as she walked back in to try and heal Theo's wounds. She left an opening in the curtains as she went though. The burn marks were deep and not unlike most potion burns making things all the more difficult. With a frown she left again in search of another potion that would work better than the standard ones.

[Lydia Evans]

Once the nurse had finally let Lydia into the curtains Lydia was falling asleep in her chair. She moved her chair in, pulled the curtains shut around her and sat watching Theo. She took his hand and blinked back a few tears. She couldn't help but think it was her fault.

[Theodore Nott]

Theo woke up screaming in pain and sitting up in his bed. His body felt like it was on fire and his muscles hurt. The nurse came in quickly, shocked that he had awoke so suddenly. Almost as quickly as he had sat up he fell limp again back on the bed unconscious again, breathing heavily.

[Lydia Evans]

Lydia had been keeping a constant vigil by Theo's side unless she was shooed away by the nurse. It was during those times each day that she was shooed away she went to eat or shower or whatever. She now sat, watching Theo quietly, dark circles beginning to form under her eyes from the nights of restless sleep she got at his bedside or when she was made to go to the dorms to sleep. She sighed as Bean and Arawn watched her quietly from the end of the bed. "Theo I hate your dad." She mumbled as she cursed the old man for making his son do such dangerous things.

[Theodore Nott]

Theo's eyes opened but he couldn't see anything. Everything was blurry and there were spots floating around. He couldn't remember where he was or what was going on and with the pain in his head he didn't bother to try. He hurt all over and didn't know what else to do except to remain laying there on the bed with his eyes closed wondering about Lydia. Not long after he was asleep again.

[Pansy Parkinson]

Pansy tiptoed into the hospital looking around for Theo's bed. Eventually she found it and headed over quietly not wanting to disturb anyone or draw attention to herself. She took a seat next to his sleeping form and frowned, she missed being able to talk to him. "You stupid prat. I can't talk to you whn you are like this and it's all your fault," she whispered.

[Pansy Parkinson]

Pansy sat there with Theo for a while telling him about her day, not caring that he didn't answer. Soon she had talked herself asleep and was hunched over in her chair dead to the world.

[Theodore Nott]

Theo rolled over on the hospital bed. He felt the edge of the bed wondering why he was all the way over near the end. Somewhere in his mind he thought Lydia must have pushed him over and he made a grunting sound in protest reaching up for his pillow. His pillow felt different and now that he thought about it the sheets were scratchy also. Theo made another noise of discontent and tried to open his eyes. Everything around him is blurry and didn't look like the dorms or his room at home. Blinking a few more times things came into better focus. The hospital wing, he thought to himself. Why was he in there?

Looking around he noticed no one was around and he tried and failed to sit up. His body hurt and he didn't even know why. Theo gave up hope of moving as he scanned the wing looking for the nurse or anyone really. He hated being in here especially alone and he wanted to know what happened since he was apparently unable to remember on his own. He sighed resting his head back on the hard pillow so he could think. He thought about calling out for someone but then remembered what Madame Pomfrey was like and didn't want her fussing over him or talking to him in general.

[Theodore Nott]

Theo tapped his fingers against the sheets of the bed as he lay there trying to remember what happened. After that got him nowhere he decided to try and remember the last thing he could remember. How did someone just randomly try and think of that. He was lost again. He made another noise and sighed frustrated. I'm in the hospital wing at night. Why? He moved his arm up noticing that there were bandages around it. What the bloody hell happened to me? He poked his arm. It hurt and he fought the urge to rip off the bandage so he could see for himself.

A noise came from somewhere in the distance and Theo heard footsteps. Not wanting to deal with anyone at the moment he closed his eyes pretending to be asleep. The footsteps got closer and through a slightly open eye he saw the shadow of the school nurse. Glad to know she's doing her rounds. I could have died by now if something had gone wrong. He closed his eyes and focused on his breathing as she walked up to his bed. Theo found feel her hovering over him and she was talking to herself under her breathe. Finally when he expected her to be done he heard her say "Mr. Nott, welcome back. You've been asleep for quite some time."

Busted. Theo opened his eyes looking up at the woman who had a smile on her face oddly enough. He hadn't expected that. "How long did you -" He was cut off by a coughing attack as his throat was very dry and his voice was hoarse. Madame Pomfrey handed him a glass of water helping him to drink it.

"I've had sensor charms placed around your bed, Nott. I knew the moment you started moving around but I wanted to give you the chance to adjust before I came in. As I said before you have been out for a while, almost a month." The look she gave him was one of pity and then something that looked like curiosity mixed with disappointment.

At that Theo started choking on his water. "A month?" His voice was still hoarse but it didn't hurt nearly as badly as it had before. Had he really been unconscious for that long? He suddenly didn't want to know what happened anymore and he certainly wasn't going to ask her it was probably something she would disapprove of and lecture him. "I'm tired." He settled back down hoping she would go away and leave him for now.

"Of course, my boy. Rest and tomorrow we will go over the details." Pomfrey pointed her wand and immediately Theo was tucked into the bed. He wasn't entirely sure she hadn't trapped him there the sheets were so tight. She poured him another glass of water at set it next to his bed before bidding him a good night.

Once she was gone Theo sat there in shook. If he had really been out that long Lydia was going to kill him. He looked around wondering where she was. Resting he hoped. Maybe she had forgotten about him? Theo swallowed and tried to put everything out of his mind as he tried desperately to go back to sleep so he mind would stop working.

[Theodore Nott]

After tossing and turning for what seemed like forever Theo finally managed to fall asleep. Albeit not a very sound or restful one.

[Hermione Granger]

Hermione came into the infirmary not quite knowing why she was there. Going over to a curtained part of the wing she parted the curtain, looked around and stepped behind it. Nott was there, asleep and hermione shook her head before sitting, "I don't even know why I'm doing this."

[Theodore Nott]

Theo heard footsteps getting closer just like the night before. He opened his eyes to see someone very unexpected. He blinked wondering if he was dreaming. "Granger?"

[Hermione Granger]

Hermione jumped and internally cursed. "Nott." She replied blandly.
