Slipping Through the Cracks
Chapter 13:Call it Courage
When Kami and Harry finally go to the hospital wing Ginny was already sent down to the feast. Ron waited for Harry and Kami because of the fact that Madame Pomfery actually allowed him too.
"All in order Potter's now please go to the feast I have to administer potion to these people to let them get awake and lively once more." Madame Pomfery said as Harry, Kami and Ron made their way down to the feast.
About halfway through the feast the doors opened and Hagrid came through. After giving Harry, Kami and Ron a big hug he sat down at his usual seat at the staff table.
About twenty minutes later Colin Creevy the first to be petrified came running into the Great Hall. After a few pictures of Harry and Kami he went and sat down with a bunch of his friends.
Nearly Headless Nick floated in with Mrs. Norris chasing after him. Everyone welcomed him back and half of the Hufflepuff table got up to welcome back Justin.
Iris came back next running through the Great Hall as sure as ever. Kami got up to hug her best friend and Harry and Ron followed suit with a little bit of awkwardness on Ron's part. Iris sat down and it wasn't long before she asked what had happened.
"The last thing I remember seeing was a huge snake with red eyes in the mirror. So I take it that Blake and Hermione ended up petrified."
"Yeah, they should be coming soon." Harry said watching that Ravenclaw prefect stride over to Percy and kiss him.
Hermione came next, smiles all around and with a huge hug she sat down too. Amazed that they solved the case and worried because Blake wasn't there yet.
"I had hoped that the basilisk didn't get him too, but apparently that didn't happen." Hermione said
"It was a basilisk? Of course how could I have been so stupid. I have to be some kind of lucky." Iris said taking a gulp of pumpkin juice.
Blake came in last. He walked in and sat down next to Kami.
"What possessed you two to go to the library without us?" Harry asked Hermione.
"Well, I thought it'd be fine if Blake went with me."
"But he's muggle born too Hermione." Iris chimed in.
"Yeah, but still."
"Don't make me worry like that again Blake." Kami said giving him another hug.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to make you worry."
"Don't be sorry Blake it's a sign of weakness." Kami said with a smile.
"So Harry how is this summer going to work? We don't need a repeat of last year." Blake asked
"So two weeks in we meet at the Burrow." Iris said
"Can't I am going to be in Egypt until Harry and Kami's birthday." Ron said looking at them
"I'll be in France until that time as well." Hermione said looking at them.
"So what are we going to do?" Blake repeated.
"Stay in contact." Kami said as everyone laughed
"Are we going to have a normal existence next year?" Iris asked
"As normal as years can go." Harry laughed along with everyone else.
