Chapter 17.- Eclipse

                                    

                                          

Sebastian hopped in the bed, with his back leaning against the headboard. The bed on the infirmary was stiff as ever. He wished he never had to come back here. He didn't know why Anne and Ominis had insisted profusely of bringing him here when the blood dripping from his nose had already dried up. He was alright. More than alright. 
He had never been happier to wipe the floor with someone. Especially the most pretentious wanker he had ever met. He would never forget the pure shock and embarrassment in his face when his wand jumped out of his reach. The small amount of blood lost right after was all worth it. The air carried distant cheers. He laid back and enjoyed. Finally, he wouldn't intervene. 
"I said I am fine" He grinned, his face jerked slightly at the sting in his face "A simple charm will ease the swelling, it was nothing." 
"You heard him" Imelda slapped his shoulder proudly. 
"NO" Anne stomped her feet angrily "Nurse Blainey has ought to see him! We don't know if he made some internal damage in his head." 
"Well, He's always been kind of daft, dull-witted and idiotic but that's just his personality" Ominis raised his finger as if he was stating a fact. His mouth moved as if he was trying to contain a chuckle.
"Why are you talking like I am not here?!" Sebastian wailed.
"Must I remind you that I can't, see?" Ominis bantered and raised his eyebrows.
"YOU KNEW I WAS HERE ALL ALONG" 
"So full of yourself Sebastian. Where's your modesty? Merlin!" He turned towards Anne shaking his head.
Imelda cackled at Ominis' usual teasing, but Anne was frowning while looking at his face until Nurse Blainey opened the curtain. 
"Well, what do we got here?" she walked over to him.
"He was in a duel that ended up in a physical altercation" Anne got closer to examine Nurse Blainey's moves. 
She hummed while casting a quick diagnostic charm. First in his head and then his whole body. Anne sighed relieved as she observed Nurse Blainey's wand glowing green. 
"Minor injuries only. No broken nose, just a boasted lip. Nothing to worry about!" 
"I told you all" Sebastian crossed his arms in front of him. 
"May I ask who started the physical attacks?" She raised an eyebrow. 
"It wasn't me!" Sebastian raised both of his hands in the air "I didn't even touch him." 
"It was a bloke from the French school" Imelda sat on the edge of the bed.  
"Was it the same one that sent the other champion here with a broken nose in the first task?" 
"The one and only" Sebastian almost rolled his eyes. 
"I am impressed you are not more injured then. The other was not as lucky."     
Sebastian just scrunched his nose and huffed in response. 
Nurse Blainey asked to speak to Anne and they both left for her office. 
"We should go too" Imelda tugged on Ominis' robes.
"Aight" Sebastian started to get up.
"You stay" Imelda shoved him back in the bed with a push.
"But why-" His voice faltered as he catched a glimpse of blue robes and silky pink hair.
"Let's go Gaunt" Imelda pushed Ominis shoulders playfully and even though Sebastian was sure Ominis was aware of her presence, he didn't say anything as they exited the place.
