Fourth Year

Harry had saved Ginny. Once again, while everyone slept, or tried to sleep, Harry had gone and done something reckless, brave, but reckless. Ginny was safe, everyone was awake and feasting in the Great Hall in celebration. It was an odd sight, everyone sitting on the floor munching on sweets and things in their pajamas at 2 in the morning.

Those petrified were restored and released from the hospital one by one, Hagrid was released from Azkaban, looking only a little worse for the wear and Dumbledore was reinstated as headmaster. The train was no longer coming to take the students home today and everyone could breathe easy for the first time all year. After the early morning feast the girls were called to see Professor Dumbledore, much to their surprise.

"I understand you two tried to help, going so far as to follow Mr. Potter and Mr. Weasley into the chamber itself."

"How did you-?" Leili interrupted, they'd been so careful!

"Harry recalled hearing voices and seeing shoes there after the deed." Dumbledore said, blue eyes shining in amusement, "I also understand that Miss Akina performed an advanced bit of charms work."

"I just got lucky," Leili shrugged, "It didn't even work, not really," she thought he meant the Exorcism, though she wasn't sure how he knew she'd done it. Or why he wasn't upset that they'd been in the restricted section of the library. But really, you put two book-loving witches in a library with a locked door and you bet your boots they're going to find out what's behind it!

Actually he was referring to the Disillusionment charm she'd cast so people didn't see two 14 year-old witches hurtling down hallways on a large piece of rubble, though admittedly the rubble was in plain view, but he did also know about the exorcism.

Dumbledore looked dubious, but accepted the answer.

"Very well then, 35 points to you both for what I'm sure was invaluable assistance and an extra ten to you Miss Akina for your 'luck' with a N.E.W.T level charm."

"Thank you, Professor," they chorused. Gryffindor still won the house cup, but it was nice not to be in fourth place anymore.

"Now, off to bed with you, try and get some sleep." The girls were dismissed and they walked back to their dorm and their beds.

Halfway down the hall Dumbledore's words seeped in through Leili's ear, which must be waterlogged from the chamber for it to have taken this long to hear what he'd said, "Wait, N.E.W.T. Level charm?" she stopped cold.

"Just got that did you?" Jo asked, half smiling, one eyebrow raised.

"I think I've got water in my ears or something…" she tipped her head to the side and gave the spot above one ear a solid Thump, thump, with the heel of her hand. "Where does he get his information?"

"The Sorting Hat. Or Fawkes. Hell, it's probably both." Leili made some noncommittal noise and they kept walking.

"This whole saving the world in the middle of the night thing is going to become a habit, isn't it?" Leili asked as they closed the door to their dormitory behind them and headed for bed.

Jo smiled and shook her head before curling up under her covers, "It looks that way. We've got our work cut out for us. 'Night."

"Goodnight," Leili said into her pillow. And they both slept like the dead.
