WHO: Chloe Wagtail & Tanner Higgs
WHAT: An injured and out of it Tanner is bored, and Chloe comes to visit him.
WHERE: Hospital Wing.
WHEN: Saturday!
WHY: Because why not?
RATING: TBD
STATUS: Closed/incomplete.

Tanner had been in intense pain several hours ago. Now he was fairly sure there were more potions than blood running through his veins, especially since he'd been told he had internal bleeding due to his broken ribs. He still felt woozy, and tired, and irritable all at once. He hated fucking bludgers and Ravenclaw, and MacMillan and Davies, and basically the whole of the team. He also still felt dull throbs of pain, despite the medication. He hated the way it felt as if his head was in a bit of a bubble head charm.

At least Chloe was coming to see him. Although, he had to admit he hoped he didn't fall asleep again. Apparently he'd been out for hours, and he'd hate to have a repeat performance during her visit. At least it wouldn't be boring. Chloe was never boring, and he'd known her for years, being in the same house. Of course, they hadn't always talked; they'd run in different circles. Tanner wasn't a complete bigot. The last year or so had been different though, and he was glad she was coming. Not only because the hospital wing was duller than Professor Binns.

He heard the door creak open, and he leaned his bandaged head up a bit to see who it was. When Chloe came in a lazy smirk came across his face.

"'lo. Thanks for coming."

His head was in no state to keep up with the questions that went unanswered. At least, it wasn't at the moment, so instead he continued taking her in. For some reason going from dress-up to OWLs seemed like going from something highly personal to something highly mundane, though his brain couldn't figure out exactly why.

"Hmm, well, you did say I could miss out on torture for breaking my promise. I think helping you study would make it even, wouldn't it?"

He grinned. "Are you having trouble at anything?"

He often forgot that Chloe was younger than him.

Chloe couldn't help but smile at that. Truth be told, she didn't have much trouble in any of her subjects, but she wanted to spend some more time with Tanner, and she had no idea how else to go about it. Asking him straight out if he wanted to spend time with her was out of the question, that was for sure.

"Potions?" she said, though it came out more as a question. She didn't know if Tanner knew about how well she did in that subject, but Potions was usually a subject most found hard, so it was the one she thought sounded most believable.

"Potions," he repeated, leaning back and glancing at her. He could have sworn that she had mentioned something about liking Potions at some point, but he wasn't exactly in the best mental state to start questioning her academic weaknesses. "I can try." After all, he wasn't exactly taking them for his last two years.

Thank Merlin he didn't have the N.E.W.T.s this year.

Tanner looked at her a bit. He really liked her hair, all dark and shiny... he shook his head to relieve himself of the thoughts that were going through his head. His mouth felt too loose, and he wasn't sure what he was capable of saying.

"Are you musical like your parents?" He wasn't sure what made him ask it. Except he didn't really know her that well in the scheme of things... perhaps it was the hair.

She couldn't help but smirk a little at that, pleased that her plan had worked. Well, sort of. He said he would try, and he could technically still change his mind.

She leaned back in the chair she was sitting on, fingers playing with the hem of her school skirt when he suddenly asked her about her musical abilities. She had expected some sort of question from him, though nothing at all like this. Yet, it made her feel a bit happy, that... well, she couldn't really put words on it, just that it made her feel happy.

"A little," she said, nodding. "I'm not as good as Megan though, but I can sing." She smiled.

"Modesty," he smirked. It wasn't always the most practiced of virtues in the noble house of Slytherin. "Maybe I'll hear you sometime."

The truth was that Tanner knew Chloe had a twin, but other than that he didn't really recall much about the girl. Except she was blonde, where Chloe was brunette, and she was Hufflepuff. Some men were all about twins... but, he never thought much on it.

"So what are you better at, then?"
