Summary: Theo gets a cryptic warning of what is to happen…
It wasn't the same healer. Theo wasn't sure why, but for some reason the healer was someone new – and with this one…Call it instinct, but Theo did not like him. He seemed slippery, oily, shifty – and nervous.
Theo wasn't all that fond of nervous people.
Yet, whatever the reason, this was the healer that Rodolphus had sent him. Perhaps he felt it was best after the news the last one had delivered. He was under no illusion that Rodolphus would respect their privacy and not ask for the full details of what was found. He'd know, as they now did, that Nathanial was bound to be an only child. That there would be no more Nott-children – as much as he and Padma had wanted it.
Her body couldn't handle it, it wouldn't accept another pregnancy. And yet as sad as that was supposed to make him, he only felt relieved. He did not want to see her go through that again, and Nathaniel was perfect. They didn't need more children – not at the risk of Padma's life. The fact that the option was taken out of their hands felt…safe.
At least it wouldn't be him telling Padma no.
Whatever the reason, the healer today was different, gave Padma different potions and made Theo generally uneasy. As soon as he'd cast the spells needed, Theo ushered him out of the room and down into the great hall, grateful to have him away from Padma.
