Episode Twelve
"I have only one question left." Gwen said as she and her mother exited the Great Hall. "Why did I start waking up at Hogwarts?"
"I had nothing to do with that." Beorc replied, stopping to face her daughter. "You must have known deep inside that college was just a dream and that you belonged here. Maybe you just decided you were ready to come back."
Gwen smiled. "I'm home."
"Yes, you are. And now that all that business is settled I want to hear more about this violation of school policy."
Gwen's smile faded instantly to be replaced by a frown. "I'll never do it again?"
"I'm certain that you won't, but you must explain to me why you would be running around the Forbidden Forest with this Harry Potter."
Before she replied, Gwen took a long look around the doors of the Great Hall to see Harry sitting with Ron, laughing and chatting away. She wasn't sure why she went running with him in the forest. She couldn't think of a good answer. "Honestly mom, I just like to spend time with him. The night was so beautiful. The stars were so bright."
Beorc nodded. She remembered feeling that way when she was young too and seeing a young Ravenclaw on the sly. Although she was happy that her daughter finally felt at home she was very wary of her new companions. Harry Potter had been marked for death since he was a baby and anyone close to him was always in danger.
"Well dear, we have said all that can be said. I'll see you again." And with that, Beorc walked away from her daughter leaving Hogwarts behind with a nervous feeling in her gut.
