Satisfied with his son's reluctant agreement, Nathaniel continued on for a few strides before looking back. Merlin's beard! He knew Theodore was not eager to leave, and also that the boy had tended to be difficult over the past couple of years. But this incessant dawdling could have consequences that the Ravenclaw knew not, and Thaniel was not keen to see that happen.

There was only so much time before the moon would rise into the sky, and by now every second was crucial in order to keep those around him—most importantly his son—safe from harm.
