Anthony.. really didn't want to answer Kevin's questions. He knew he would have to answer to Flitwick when he got around to it. The way the Professor had worded his return owl made Anthony feel like he was signing up for a really long time in the Hospital Wing. Not that he wanted to do this, he had to. He understood that. And he understood that Flitwick was busy with so many other things, but, Anthony was going to go crazy in there. He was going to be locked in a room by himself with no way out and who knew how long that was going to last for?
Again, Anthony was thankful for Padma. She knew him well enough to know that he would get skittish if they kept asking him questions, want to get away and escape down to the Hospital Wing quicker then he really needed to. He breathed better once they all moved away from him and as Lisa left the room. He couldn't help but think of the horrible things going through her head, though he also couldn't blame her.
While they were off grabbing his things, Anthony turned back to Kevin and wrapped both arms around him again, burrying his face into the other boy's shoulder. "I don't want to go," he whispered so that only Kevin would hear him.
"Oh, um...? Books, things to keep me occupied. I don't know how long Flitwick is going to keep me there." His voice shook.
