Eh, too bad if he was, he was going to make a nice meal for the snake.
With the rat in hand, she headed to the Slytherin Common Room. Just as she neared the entrance she spotted Cutty. Perfect! "Mr. Mordaunt. Just the person I was looking for." Actually any Slytherin student she found would have been just the person she was looking for. "It's feeding time," she said as she held the rat out in front of her.
He hadn't gotten far on the journey to the Hospital Wing, however when he spotted Healer Murdoch...
Holding a rat...
That might have belonged to Caleb Newell.
Briefly, he thought he was hallucinating. If he had been alive and a muggle living a century ago in the 1980's he would've sworn he'd seen this in an Ozzy Osborne video. Still, even without a reference when he realized that indeed that was Healer Murdoch holding a rat as if she'd caught dinner it conjured a certain amount of appreciation. As if the boy had stumbled upon a fine art piece. Cece could fight and feed herself!
She was perfect.
"
Aren't yer goin' ter cook it first?" He wouldn't be eating it otherwise. Actually, he didn't feel like eating at all. His head was pounding and that warmth of the fever was changing his complexion a pinkish shade. He leaned against the wall for support, quite forgetting or perhaps not caring how dirty it was.
