The group of 8 found their way into Dumbledore's office at Hogwarts. Shaking, they all sat and waited for their headmaster. Alice was in tears, and Frank was holding her. Luckily, no one had been really hurt. Remus had been hit with a curse that made him break out in hives, but nothing too serious happened. Dumbledore came in, already knowing what happened.
"Sit down, everyone. I know that what has happened to you today has been very traumatic. We should be very thankful that no one is badly hurt. I must warn you that Voldemort is gaining more followers. His influence in the wizarding world is growing, and this will be a dark couple of decades. Please be very cautious, and be very careful of who you trust. I know that all 8 of you can trust each other, but please be cautious. We can't have anyone else getting killed. Remus, if you'd like to head off to the hospital wing, Madam Pomfrey will be happy to give you a potion for your hives."
Remus nodded and walked out of the room, only looking back to Ariel.
"Yes, Ms. McKenzie, you may go as well."
She took his hand and followed Remus out the door. Sirius and Skye also headed out to bed, as they were the ones who had the most damage done to them. They were hexed 6 different times each, and needed a Dreamless Sleep Draught to give them a good night's rest.
Now, only Alice, Frank, James, and Lily remained. Dumbledore looked at the pairs, and nodded. He let them go, praying for their safety. Never had he had a group of kids that he loved so much.
