To meet you again 22
Harry and Ron spent the evening in the hotel room talking and eating the nice food the room service provided. It had been a long time, since the tow of them just hung out, and harry never noticed how much he had missed that. It were the small things, the talk about quidditch, the talk about some of the jokes George has forced on Ron, the work, the people just normal talk. And while it was never actually mentioned it was clear that Ron would stay the night and they would have a very nice and lavish breakfast together in the morning.
So the next morning when Ron was on his way to work, he was on his way to Nott's office again.
In opposition to his last trip to Nott, this time there was no urgency in his step, and no hope in his heart. Hope that everything would be the way it should be, after Nott did one or two small, yet nevertheless impressive magic tricks and his nightmare would have been over. How wrong he had been.
This time Harry had no expectations, and those he had were rather bad and fearsome anyway. So he just wanted to get this over with, make peace with Nott and confess that he had been somewhat of a jerk.
He stopped in front of the door and took a last deep breath. He really needed to do that, right? So he would do it. Before he could rethink his decision he knocked.
The door opened a few moments later.
"Potter," Nott greeted him calmly and stepped aside to let Harry in.
For the first time in ever, Harry was relieved to hear Nott's emotionless voice. At least it made it easy to pretend that Nott wasn't angry with him, and therefore he had nothing to fear. Although Nott didn't seem a "I'm angry so I shout"- person. Harry was certain he was more the "You angered me, not taste my poison"- person.
"Hell-oh, am I interrupting something?" Harry asked as he let his gaze sweep through the room.
The labyrinth, which had taken over the room on his last visit was gone. It's place had been taken over by plants and astronomy charts and models. Some of the plants Harry recognised. For example the poinsettia with its fiery red leaves, and the Christmas rose with it's faint colouring, but most of the plants Harry had never even seen before. And then there were leaves and flowers under a stasis spell on Nott's desk.
"Nothing of importance. A small favour of sorts,"
"Neville?" Harry asked before he could stop himself.
"Oddly enough no. This is for Blaise and George. I'm not sure if it is healthy for the world that those two are friends and have only Ron Weasley trying to stop them," Nott answered and moved back to his desk. "So Potter, what can I do for you," he asked nonchalant.
"I'm here to- Nott, Theodore, if I may call you that. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have hexed you, well I shouldn't have been so angry with you and I know I misbehaved towards you. I'm sorry for what I said. I mean, Neville is happy with you, and that really is all that counts, I have no right to judge- I just... I just wanted to..." Harry stammered more than he spoke.
"You wanted to hurt me, like you are hurting. In fact it is probably me, who owns you an apology for the curse. I let the argument get away from me," Nott said, without a shred of shame but still sincere.
"Ehm... well, I- heat of the moment and all that, I guess. I just. I know that you did- do your best for Draco. I just-"
"You just want him back, more than anything. Potter it is understandable given the circumstances and your temper. In fact you held it together far longer than I thought you could," Nott replied and leaned against his desk, arms crossed over his chest. Harry would say he his face looked blank, but then again he wasn't sure Nott did facial expressions at all. Neville really light such challenges? Better Neville than him, that is for certain.
"I- If I were to ask... has something... how is he doing?" Harry inquired not certain he wanted to know the answer.
"As far as I can tell his magic is stabilizing, he also seemed to have accepted his memories back with ease. The one thing really worrying is the time shifting curse, and how Draco will come out of it," Nott answered calmly.
"Sooo- he will wake up?" Harry asked uncertain.
"If his spiking magic levels are anything to go by, he might wake up very soon," Nott stated. "And then we shall know more."
"Okay," Harry nodded. "Okay."
"Harry-"
Harry stared at Nott in shock.
"-as you were calling me Theodore, I assumed I shall call you Harry. Of course if you lik-"
"No, no, it's fine. I just didn't expect it," Harry hastens to replay, then he straightened up and stepped over to Nott- Theodore, and stretched out his hand.
No- Theodore reached for it with a raised eyebrow: "Always enjoying the dramatics," he said and rolled his eyes.
"Makes life more interesting," Harry grinned in reply.
The raised eyebrow did not drop, but Theodore wasn't laughing either.
"I just want to warn you, not to expect too much. Not at first. While his brain now shows to have accepted the memories which were taken away, it's still not certain what it meant for Draco," Theodore went on.
"I will need to be patient. And I will. Time is not that important, as long as it is time I get to spent with Draco," Harry smiled bravely.
It was rewarded with a small nod.
"So you want to go back to that project of yours or wanna hit the cafeteria for tea?" Harry asked boldly.
Theodore considered the plants and then Harry, before he simply shrugged: "Lead the way. Tea is never a bad choice."
