Everybody suddenly woke up with a jump. Something flew through the window and landed with a crash on the floor. A crumpled up person lay there on the floor, crying.

"Wormtail?!" Harry, Ron and Hermione shouted in unison.

"Somebody call Dumbledore! Quick!" Harry yelled, and Carrie ran.

She ran downstairs through the common room, crawled out of behind the portrait and sped up the hall while the Fat Lady shouted after her "What's the hurry?" She was running from the 7th floor to the third, and wanted to jump down while she was waiting for the moving staircase. When she finally found the headmaster's office she discovered that she didn't know the password. She didn't need to, the moment she opened her mouth the gargoyle moved and Dumbledore emerged from behind it.

"Yes, Miss Granger?"

"In the Gryffindor boys 7th year dormitory a person called Wormtail flew through the window this morning I was sent to find you and bring you there" Carrie said in one breath and Dumbledore set off immediately by the end of her last word.

"Go find Professor McGonagall, Miss Granger"

"Yes Professor" And Carrie started off again in search for Prof. McGonagall. She first went towards the Head's Office but she wasn't there, then she went to the professor's room and found her chatting with Professor Flitwick.

"Goodness, Miss Granger, what happened?" Asked McGonagall shocked by Carrie's appearance - red in face, trying to catch breath, still in her sleeping gown and her hair flying around.

"In the Gryffindor boys 7th year dormitory a person called Wormtail flew through the window this morning I was sent by Professor Dumbledore to find you and bring you there Prof. Dumbledore's already there" Carrie panted.

McGonagall ran and Carrie set behind her. While climbing up to the Gryffindor Tower behind McGonagall, Carrie thought about the fuss Wormtail made and who the hell is Wormtail anyway but then she threw caution to the winds and panted behind McGonagall "Who's Wormtail?" and, to her suprise, McGonagall answered without too much hesitation.

"Wormtail is V-Voldemort's right hand."

"But... isn't Voldemort dead?" Carrie asked. With both of your parents freely saying the name 'Voldemort' you get used to it too. She still couldn't understand why other people were afraid of saying it although Voldemort was dead for years now.

'Oh, damn, he's not, we're back in past' She suddenly remembered. While thinking, they got to the Fat Lady's portrait and entered the Common Room. Half of the tower was awake already and they were standing in the common room watching towards the 7th years dormitory staircase and listening to the shouts and spells coming from it.

"Dear God" Carrie blurted.

McGonagall entered the dormitory when Hermione, Ginny, Ron, Dean, Seamus and Neville shot out of it. Ginny, Dean, Seamus and Neville were all looking upset and they set towards the Common Room and Carrie tried to enter the dormitory because she couldn't spot Harry. Ron caught her and he simply didn't let her while Hermione was blocking her vision to the dormitory. When the door closed Carrie started screaming.

"Where's Harry? What's wrong? Is he okay?"

Ron was still holding her, trying to keep her from freeing herself but also trying not to hurt her.

"Harry's in there" Hermione answered, her lip trembling.

Suddenly everything fell silent. Carrie just stared at her. Then she started screaming again.

"I wanna see Harry!" Ron tightened his grip and Carrie relaxed.

"Listen. I don't wanna hurt you, but you have to give up going in there because you can't! You'll get killed if you do"

"Killed? You mean... Harry's dead?" Carrie couldn't believe her ears. She wanted to wake up. This was only a bad dream, she was still in Ron's bed, she was still sleeping...

"We don't know." Hermione weakly whispered. "The last thing we saw was Harry and Wormtail duelling when a serpent appeared and turned into Voldemort and he started duelling with Dumbledore."

Everything was still silent. The common room, the dormitory, Ron, Hermione and Carrie. Then the dormitory door opened. Dumbledore and McGonagall walked out of it, holding a body between them.

Harry walked out after them, having a wound on his head, his nose and lip bloody. He tightly held his wand in his right hand. Ron still held Carrie while Hermione and Harry hugged. Harry dropped his wand. Hermione started crying, her tears falling on Harry's shoulder. Carrie also started crying, and Ron hugged her.

"Harry's okay, don't cry... come on, Carrie, brighten up..."

Carrie let go of Ron and looked at Harry and Hermione. Hermione was now standing bewildered, and Harry was feeling his face. There was no sign that he was hurt whatsoever. Then Hermione remembered.

'I'm White Power...'

Harry apparently also knew that healing tears had only phoenixes and White Power. He looked at Hermione. They stared at each other for a few moments and then they kissed. Carrie smiled through her tears and ran to hug Harry.

"Harry... what the hell happened in there?" Hermione asked.

"Dumbledore beat Voldemort, Wormtail's dead. He hurt me quite a lot before I managed to curse him with Petrificus Totalus. When Voldemort realized he's not gonna get away, he killed Wormtail so he doesn't say anything. What does he have to say anyway, I don't know, but Wormtail is dead, Voldemort's dead. McGonagall is a bit shaken but she's okay, Dumbledore hasn't got a scratch and I'm, well, I'm okay now." He smiled.

"Thank God!" Ron said. Carrie let go of Harry and now she stood with Hermione.

"Come here, mate." Ron tightly hugged Harry in a friend's hug.

"I'm glad you're okay."

They all set off to the Common Room where Ginny, Dean, Seamus and Neville jumped, all of them obviously shaken and upset and tried to persuade Harry to tell them what happened.

"I'm not allowed to tell you anything, Dumbledore ordered me, he's gonna tell everybody when he thinks it's time."

"Fine, but... is everybody okay? Dumbledore, McGonagall and you?" Ginny asked.

"Yeah, everybody are okay. Nothing to worry about now."

"Except our NEWT's." Ron mumbled. Harry turned and cracked laughing.

"I am not worried about my DADA one, though." He said through laughter. Everybody started laughing when McGonagall cut them off by entering the Common room. "Everybody to their dormitories! Except, I'm afraid, 7th years boys... your dormitory's crashed up."

"Yeah... I noticed." Harry said.

"So, you stay sleeping here in the Common Room while we don't get it fixed."

"Can we stay with them?" Asked Ginny.

"Who 'we'?" McGonagall asked back.

"Carrie, Hermione and me."

"Yes, you can stay with them. Go on, clear off!" McGonagall yelled after the people still standing, listening to the conversation. When everybody went to sleep and McGonagall left, Dean, Seamus, Harry, Neville, Ron, Ginny, Hermione and Carrie moved around sofas and armchairs so they made 8 beds and went to sleep.
