This ones a shorty, but I'll give you another for Halloween.
I don't own anything
Earplugs
Mid-May 1994
Fifth Year
A crying first year girl shook Jo's shoulder frantically; Jo peeled her eyes open, "Hey… What's up?" Lighting flashed and thunder exploded outside and the girl buried her face in Jo's sheets.
"You afraid of thunderstorms?"
The 11 year old nodded.
"Alright, c'mon, let's get you back in bed," Jo whispered as she climbed out of bed and headed for her trunk. Opening it, she reached inside and pulled out what any Muggle-born would recognize as a pair of earplugs and a sleep mask.
"Jo? What's up?" Leili asked tiredly.
"It's nothing. I've got this one, go back to sleep," Jo took the girl back to her dormitory and her own bed. Once settled, Jo put the brightly colored pieces of foam in the girl's ears and slipped the mask over her small face. She knelt by the bed and stroked the girl's hair until she fell asleep.
It was not the first time a younger Hufflepuff had sought out Jo or Leilani in the middle of the night, nor would it be the last time either girl would fall asleep at their charge's bedside.
