Jenny stood for sometime outside McGonagall's room, she was breathing very heavily and thought she might explode with rage. She knew that McGonagall was right; it was now almost impossible for her to get back into Hogwarts next year without her help. So with a heavy heart she tuned back towards McGonagall's office and knocked sharply on the door.

'Enter' came her shrill reply and Jenny opened the door.

'Professor,' Jenny said 'I'll do it.'

'Good-o, leave it to me Miss Trinity and we shall see you next year' she said brightly. McGonagall's smile was bittersweet and Jenny mistrusted it, Jenny held out her hand to McGonagall.

'Is that a promise professor?'

McGonagall took her hand and said whole-heartedly 'It most certainly is.'

As Jenny left McGonagall's office the bell rang, she was hurrying to claim her books from charms when she heard jeering from the grounds. She looked out of a window curiously and saw to her horror that Remus was having a fistfight with Severus.

Her books forgotten she ran to the main staircase and dashed down the stairs into the hall, past confused students ambling in for lunch, and out into the brilliant sunlight.

'They started jinxing each other' her friend Octavia said as she approached the crowed 'and then they just started beating the crap out of each other!'

Jenny tugged at the assembled crowed, trying to get closer to the centre, people moved aside easily knowing that her arrival was only going to enhance the entertainment.

She stood at the edge of the circle for a moment startled and scared. Severus was on his back attempting to throw off Remus who was taking repeating blows at his nose. She took a deep breath and, knowing that she had to save herself more that Severus, grabbed at the back of Remus' robes. She pulled him to a standing position by his waist and pressed herself into his back. Slowly he staggered back from Severus, she put her lips to his ear 'Let me explain,' she said 'let me tell you how this is all going to work out.'

He turned to look at her, a cut on his cheek was bleeding heavily and his nose was off centre.

'Come on' she said 'we should get you to the hospital wing' he leant painfully on her shoulder ad together they parted the crowed and made their way into the castle.

Jenny looked back at Severus who lay breathless and wincing as he attempted to stand, he looked back at her with wide piercing eyes.
