Status: Complete.
He wasn't nervous. In fact, Theodore was almost frighteningly calm as he made his way to the infirmary. Knowing that he had been caught had, oddly, restored a sense of peace to his emotional state, making him feel much less reckless. He was centered, controlled. He had taken a risk, he had been caught, and he would own up to the consequences.
He didn't blame Neville in the least. Anyone would have used any bargaining chip they had to get out of the situation Rosier had been keeping Neville in; Theodore knew he would have done the same thing. And it was hardly Neville's fault that Theodore had done it in the first place.
What he would have been feeling right now if he hadn't known what he was in for, Theodore didn't know. He would never know, and that was just as well. It was the preparedness that was keeping him calm, although he had no way of knowing whether he would actually be able to talk his way out of this one. He could only explain his reasons, with a few slight details changed or left out to turn the story slightly to his advantage.
At least, he thought vaguely, his father wasn't around to be notified about this, though he was sure that his father was rolling over in his grave. On the other hand, there was no parental figure around to fight for him if the punishment was extreme, no one who had his back. He would just have to do that for himself.
Pushing open the door to the infirmary, he stood before Rosier, not in his usual white coat, but in the clothes he'd worn that day, and without his usual school bag. It felt a bit odd, but he wasn't here to work. He managed a tired smile for Rosier; it had been a long day. "Evening," he said. "Did you have a nice trip?"
