"Harry! You're back!" Ron shouted as Harry burst through the doors to the wards. "Did you get Snape to agree?"

"Yes, I did. He is making it now!" Harry exclaimed. He felt his scar popping back up from his brain, his feet extending and his posture turned from snooty with nose in the air to slouched back and casual.

"Boys. Bed." Madam Pomfrey said when she saw them.

...

"GINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNY!" Ron yelled when Harry and Ginny were sitting at the Breakfast table together, sharing a bowl of Muggle 'Coco Pops'.

"God, Ron, what floating your boat today?" She sighed. The whole of the Hall turned their heads to Ginny and Ron and Harry, who shrugged it off and went back to eating his Coco Pops.

"THIS HOWLER!" Ron bellowed, the owls that were delivering the mail flew out of the hall in shock. Ron opened the Howler and a mind-blowingly loud voice filled up every nook and cranny of the Hall. "GINNY WEASLEY! WHAT ON EARTH DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING! KEEPING AN ILLEGAL DRAGON IN YOUR BEDSIDE CLOSET! HOW DAAAAAAAAAAAAARE YOU, YOU, YOU, YOU, YOU, INSULT TO THE WEASLEY FAMILY. TAKE THAT DRAGON OUT OF THE CLOSET AND AT LEAST GIVE IT TO THE HAIRY DIRTY KEEPER OF THE KEYS, WHAT'S HIS NAME? OH YES, HAGRID. OR TAKE HIM STRAIGHT TO THE POUND WHERE THEY PUT THE BEAST TO SLEEP. THE DRAGON, NOT HAGRID. I AM ASHAMED OF YOU, GINNY. Anyway, love, you left your lucky knickers at home, shall I post them to you?" The Howler yelled, "Love from Mummy!"

"Cor, that was a beating!" Harry said, giving Ginny a cuddle.

"Yes... too... much so... I... Cannot believe... that the... whole... school... knows about...Henrietta..." Ginny mumbled in between sobs.

"Maybe, just maybe, it's for the best Ginny." Harry soothed, assuring Ginny that it was OK.

"Alright... I'll give... him to... Hargrid..." Ginny said, standing up and heading towards the dormitory, Harry and Ron in tow.

"Ooh, ooh, ooh, let me come too!" New girl Tia Myles jumped up from her bench and followed Ginny. Ginny was her acting guardian.

"Alright Tia." Ginny sighed. Having Tia around was like a stalker, she was Muggle born and didn't quite understand the wizarding world.

The teenagers headed up towards the Gryffindor common room, jumping over vanishing stairs, dodging Peeves' traps, following the maze of twisting, turning stairs. The stairs are like young puppies, unpredictable, uncontrollable and strike at the most menacing of moments. The foursome hurried up, up, up, but then disaster strikes. Harry, Ron and Ginny had jumped a moving stair, but Tia clipped it with her foot, fell down and down and down and down onto the floor at least ten metres below. A sickening thud met the ears of Harry, Ron and Ginny as they saw Tia lying on the stone floor in a bloody mess, one leg pointing the wrong way and a deep gash sinking into her head.

"Tia!" Ginny shouted, swooping down from the stairs like a hawk on one of the brooms from Filch's cleaning cupboard. When Ginny go there, Tia was awake and happy, just with a broken leg and cuts and gashes. "Tia! Are you alright?"

"Yes, I'm fine! I did this thing with my wand and basically I am fine. It did this weird thing that turned the ground to as soft as a pillow... Odd..." Tia said, attempting to get up but then falling back down again.

"Wait there!" Harry said, catching her in the nick of time.

"WOW." Ginny gasped and looked at Tia in awe. "You did the material change transfiguration! You are a true witch, Tia!"

"Thank you!" Tia beamed, as she basked in the spotlight.

"Now, lets get you to a hospital wing!" Harry declared and magicked up a stretcher and lifted Tia to the hospital ward.
