Chapter 441 - Hogwarts Infirmary Ⅱ (2/2)
Shrugging Rowan lightly sneers as she points at the tray sitting at the edge of the bed full of sweets. ”Well, at least have the grace or manners to hand me a few sweets seeing as there is no food!”
Georgine snorts back in reply but does not protest as she carefully sets the tray on Rowan's lap. Mumbling some sort of thanks, Rowan eagerly stuffs herself with sweets as she is simply starving. Casting magic consumed much energy and especially the spells which she had cast earlier in the evening. She had only eaten three large sweets when a group of loud, crisp footsteps are heard rapidly approaching.
The white curtain is suddenly pulled back to reveal the faces of Madam Pomfrey, Amundsen, Mr. Flint, and four Auror's: Alastor Moody, Rufus Scrimgeour, and the Prewett brothers, Fabian and Gideon. Seeing her wide awake. they all simply just stare at her as she stuffs another sweet into her mouth.
”Miss Prince! I have a tray of soup waiting for you! Desist immediately!” Madam Pomfrey said in disapproval. And Rowan did after stuffing yet another sweet into her mouth.
Tsking her tongue against her mouth, Madam Pomfrey turned to the Auror's. ”Auror's, my patient is tired and needs her rest! Do not overwhelm, my patient!” Flouncing away she went off to retrieve the tray that had the light meal prepared just for Rowan.
The golden haired, golden eye lion like figure of Rufus Scrimgeour nods after the matron, and says, ”A word in private please-.” None of the Prince's look like they are going to move especially Severus who scowls darkly at the Auror's, but subconsciously his hand tightens its grip on his twin sister's hand.
Seeing that none of the Prince family members are going to be leave, Alastor Moody wisely intervenes, ”Scrimgeour let them be, they've had a worrisome night. And besides if anyone can keep a secret, it would be the Prince family.” Scrimgeour frowns, but slowly nods his head in acceptance of his partners words, before taking a step back leaving the witness interview to the Prewett brothers.
The handsome Gideon and long nosed Fabian step forward. They were much better at dealing with these types of situations than Moody or Scrimgeour were. Pretending as though they were just meeting for the first time, Gideon warmly smiles and says, ”Hello Miss Prince. I'm Auror Gideon Prewett and this is my brother, Fabian Prewett. If you'd allow us, we would like to ask you some very important questions.”
”Go on,” Rowan replied.
”Miss Prince, can you tell us what happened tonight?”
”Idiot Karkaroff almost got me killed.”
Fabian chokes down a laugh and instead turns it into a cough. The rest of those present simply stare at Rowan's deadpan tone. It was a bit startling to say the least given the lack of anger or panic much less any wide range of related emotions.
