Nico Goes to Hogwarts

To the Rescue//Chapter 20

The tension in the room immediately fell away as we collectively realized Nico was going to be okay.

Will's POV

"Mr. Solace." A voice from behind us sounded.

"Albus Dumbledore, I presume, Nico has spoken a lot about you."

"Has he now? My boy, if it is no trouble to you, I would like to enroll you here to keep an eye on Nico here." He have a subtle wink after that.

Oh hell yes, I would be staying. Nico seems to have a knack for trouble. I'm surprised he made it this long. If Dumbledore hadn't offered, I would have volunteered to stay here.

"Of course, Mr. Dumbledore, I would be delighted to enroll here." I finally answered.

"Wonderful. I have the sorting hat right here so I can tell you which house you will be sorted into, however you will be in the 8th year joint common room." He explained and put the hat on my head.

After a few minutes of shuffling through my mind, the hat announced that I would be in gryffindor.

"Also, Mr. Solace, if it wouldn't be any trouble, would you be able to help out in the infirmary and with Nico's classes as well?"

I was shocked by the offer. Me, help teach and help heal? I was so excited.

"Of course! I would be happy to help."

He smiled at me, and motioned for the others to leave with him, finally leaving me and Nico alone.

"Oh Sunshine, what am I going to do with you. You always seem to get yourself in the stickiest situations. Well, I'm hopefully going to prevent that while I join you here. For now, get some rest and I'll see you when you wake up" I gently kissed his forehead, before going to look at his vitals and making sure everything is a-okay.

Nico's POV

Two days later

I woke up with a pounding headache and a sour taste in my mouth.

"Ughhhhh," I groaned.

I was immediately handed a piece of ambrosia and forced to drink nectar.

"Morning, Sunshine." I heard a voice say.

I looked up and saw Will and I was shocked.

"Will! What are you doing here?"

"Well, you see, I received an urgent call from a Mr. Remus Lupin leading him to almost being killed at the camp boarders because of idiot campers believing every monster is evil. And then I find out that you were fading because you decided to face a boggart, which I don't really know what it is, but Sirius told me he told you not to face it." Will scolded.

I sheepishly looked away. "Sorry," I mumbled.

The infirmary was empty besides to two of us.

"Nico, I'm just worried about you. I don't know what I'd do if I lost you."

I sighed and looked down at my hands.

"Hey," Will said softly. "Don't be upset. I just care about you a lot Nico. I love you, and I don't want you to die." He lifted my chin so I was looking him in the eyes. "I love you Nico di Angelo, with all of my heart and I wouldn't be able to live without you."

With that, he softly kissed me. It was slow and meaningful and wonderful. When he finally pulled away and went to walk away, I wrapped my arms around him and hurried my head in his shoulder. We stayed like that for a while.

Eventually though, I started to feel really tired and Will could tell.

"Come on Nico, you need to rest. Get some sleep. You are on bed rest until Remus leaves and then you'll have to show me around the castle."

I groaned. Bed rest. I hate bed rest. It is the worst.

"Ughhhh bed rest. And why am I showing you around the castle?"

"Because I'm attending Hogwarts now!"

I froze and looked at him. Excitement fizzled through me but I didn't show it.

"Really?"

"Of course Sunshine! If you are going to be getting in to trouble, someone needs to look after you." He kissed my forehead. "Now, get some sleep.

And with those last words I drifted off into a peaceful slumber.

A/N: Hey guys! Wow, it's been a very long time since I've update, and I'm really sorry. I've been extremely busy with school, gymnastics, and theatre. I also haven't had the movitiation to do a lot of stuff lately so I apologize. I finally have friends that care for me, but there has been a lot of drama too. Speaking of that, once this book is finished I have been thinking about writing a book about all of the drama I have heard involving my new friends because it is literally like a soap opera. There is a huge love diagram that would be so interesting to explore. Let me know in the comments if you are interested. Anyways, thank you so much for  94K!!!
