Part 29

"Professor Weasley, as if I could just walk up to her and hand her everything on a silver platter," Sebastian thought as he headed for the Great Hall, pondering the current situation.

"Open your eyes, Leander! This is a real breakthrough! You'll see, I'll outdo the Cream Beer," Garrett tried to coax his neighbor into taking a sip of his new creation.

"I told you I wouldn't be a Weasley if you keep this up. I'll complain to your aunt," Leander waved him off as best he could.

Sebastian heard these words and looked at them. There was the usual commotion at the Gryffindor table. Sebastian approached them and sat down next to them.

"If you've forgotten, Sellow, your house is Slytherin. Go back to your seat," Leander pointedly motioned for him to leave.

"Garrett, I need to talk to you. Can we step away?" Sebastian ignored Leander completely.

Garrett squinted at him. - No, I don't want to get involved with you, you're trouble," he smiled as if nothing had happened and got up from the table, heading for the exit.

Meanwhile, Sebastian finally looked at Leander, grunted, and went to catch up with Garrett.

"And what was that? Next time I'll beat you in a duel, do you hear me?" Leander couldn't stand Sellow.

As Garrett walked through the courtyard with a calm demeanor, Sebastian caught up with him.

"You can ignore me all you want, but will you help your friend Noah?" Sebastian decided to corner him.

"Noah? Help him with what?" Garrett looked at the Slytherin in surprise.

"He's a bit under the weather and asked me to bring his things," Sebastian couldn't believe he was asking for help from him.

"I'm sure you can handle it," Garrett was already preparing to brush him off.

"I couldn't come to an agreement with the Head of House. She requires your aunt's signature," Sebastian approached Garrett. - Can you somehow get her signature or something like that?

"Yeah, right. You know how strict she is, and she's three times stricter with me!" Garrett crossed his arms and rocked back and forth. - I have a better idea. You could just use a Disillusionment Charm!" He held up his finger, expecting Sebastian to react with delight.

"A brilliant idea, Weasley. Do you know the password?" Sebastian just sighed.

"That's right, I hadn't thought of that," Garrett scratched his head. "Wait, didn't Noah tell you?"

"No, he didn't," Sebastian looked away. - Okay, I shouldn't have asked you for help. I'll figure it out myself," with these words, he turned around and was about to leave when Garrett stopped him.

"We could get in through the window!" Garrett was excited about his idea.

"And do we know where the window to Noah's room is?" Sebastian was already considering leaving Noah's things here. When he wakes up, he can come and collect them himself, can't he?

"Hey Garrett, congratulations. What's it like to date the school hero?" Everett chuckled as he walked past them.

"Come on, Clopton, I told you it's not true!" Garrett was already breathless with anger as he answered.

"Wait! You can use that! Sebastian shook Garrett's shoulder.

"Use what?" He slapped Sebastian's arm away.

"To approach the Head of House and say that you, um, your boyfriend asked you to bring his things," Sebastian himself was a bit sickened by this thought. Garrett wrinkled his face and started shaking his head in protest.

"No way! No! Absolutely NOT!"

And now they were standing at the entrance to the Hufflepuff common room.

"Now someone will come out or go in, and we'll ask for the Head of House," Sebastian patted Garrett on the back.

"I'm still against this idea. By doing this, I'll only confirm the truthfulness of the rumors about me and Noah," Garrett didn't even finish his sentence. "By the way, you're coming with me. I'm not packing all of Noah's things alone," he handed Sebastian an Invisibility Potion.

"Are you a walking inventory of surprises? Where are you keeping all this?" Sebastian put the potion in his pocket.

"Noah gave me this trick when he saw how I was struggling with lack of space in my bag," Garrett showed a small bag.

"He advised you to carry a smaller bag?" Sebastian laughed.

"No, smart guy. He advised me to put an Undetectable Extension Charm on the bag," Garrett effortlessly pulled his broom out of the bag.

"I was also wondering where Noah always got his broom from," Sebastian nodded approvingly. Noah always managed to amaze Sebastian with his resourcefulness.
