All five of them walked down the hall towards the Great Hall where Dumbledore would be setting up. As they walked nobody looked at each other.

"Thanks for coming to save me," Ron whispered. Harry and Malfoy heard this.

"No problem man," Draco said playfully punching him in the shoulder.

"We've been trying to find you for two months and none of us would stop until we found you," Harry said. Riley turned and smiled at all three of them and then went to talk to Hermione, who was half way up the hall.

"You can't hide it anymore Hermione," Riley spoke quietly, so the guys couldn't hear her.

"Can't hide what," Hermione asked. Riley sighed.

"That you like Ron," Riley said laughing. Hermione gave Riley a stern look.

"Yeah I like Ron just not like that." Riley rolled her eyes as Hermione said that.

"You know what, you both seem to be the only ones that don't realize it. He obviously likes you and visa versa," Riley said, now sounding very impatient. Hermione didn't say anything because Ron ran through them, then Harry and Malfoy walked to either side of them.

"Wait Ron don't go in there yet!" Harry yelled. Ron stopped right in front of the Great Hall doors.

"So whatcha talking about?" Malfoy asked, putting his arm around Riley's shoulder.

"Hermione and Ron," Riley said.

"Oh ya, that," Harry and Malfoy said together. Hermione threw up her arms.

"I don't like him like that, and he doesn't like me like that!"

"Hermione it is so obvious, especially on your part," Harry answered. Hermione stomped up to the door next to Ron.

"They are both in denial," Riley exclaimed, smiling. Malfoy and Harry nodded their heads, yes. They approached the door. Harry took a deep breath and pushed the door open. To his surprise the whole school was eating.

"Were we really there that long?" Harry whispered to Malfoy, who looked as shocked as Harry. They started to walk in and everyone looked up. Some girls gasped as Ron entered the room, followed by Riley. Everyone was whispering and the whole room filled with sound.

"Silence!" Dumbledore yelled, standing up, "All of you come up here." Harry, Riley, Ron, Hermione, and Malfoy walked up to Dumbledore. He motioned to a room that was right next to the table. They all followed him inside.

Fifteen minutes later they emerged from the room, feeling tired and hungry.

"Food!" Ron screamed running to the Gryffindor table, where Ginny, Fred, and George awaited him. Ginny hugged him and started crying again. Fred and George were slapping him on the back. Fred and George went and sat down and told him to sit in the seat next to his. Ginny wouldn't let go of him.

"Please can someone explain to me why girls are like this. I mean I'm not dead," Ron said trying to pry Ginny off him. That comment even made Ginny cry harder.

Many students were crowding around Riley and Ron, asking them question after question. A lot of the students were moving to the Gryffindor table and taking all the seats. Hermione didn't have a seat. She sat down on the floor. Ron looked up at the teachers who were writing letters, talking, and trying to calm things down. Nobody payed attention to Hermione.

"Um, Hermione," Ron said, blushing, " You can take my seat." Hermione smiled and Ron got up. Just as he stood up Mrs. Weasley ran in crying madly.

"Uh oh," Ron whispered to Harry, who laughed.

"RON! MY BABY YOU'RE ALIVE! I THOUGHT I WOULD NEVER SEE YOU AGAIN! WHO FOUND YOU?," Mrs. Weasley cried. She hugged Ron so tightly, that he looked like he was about to burst. When she asked who had saved him, Ron pointed to Harry, Riley, Malfoy, and Hermione. Mrs. Weasley ran over to Hermione and Harry and got them in a hug, and then moved to Riley and Malfoy. She then ran back over to Ron, and started kissing him on the cheeks.

"YOU'RE ALIVE! MY BABY RONNY! OH I MISSED YOU! CAN I GET YOU SOMETHING SWEETHEART?" she asked. Ron said no. Mrs. Weasley went up to talk to Dumbledore as the rest of the Weasley family entered.

"Ron, my boy, you're alive!" Mr. Weasley came over and also hugged Ron. Then Bill, Charlie, and Percy did also. They all went up to hear the story of what had happened. Hermione went and got a chair, while Ron was receiving hugs. He sat down next to Hermione and they started talking about school, and what he missed.

"Riley was bringing me down some food and she was also bringing me books," Ron said, as he ate his mashed potatoes. Riley was giggling, and Hermione sent her a sharp look.

"Everyone, settle down," Dumbledore yelled over the noise, "I know you are all wondering what happened, and why Riley is alive. I will tell you that I knew Riley was alive and her mother knows that as well. Riley and Lina Black used Polyjuice potion to save Riley and luckily Lina didn't get badly hurt. I'm sure that Ron, Riley, Harry, Hermione, and Draco will tell you all that happened, so I don't need to say anymore." He sat back down.

All the teachers came down to talk to Riley and Ron. Professor McGonagall came up to Harry.

"I'm sorry about what I said Potter," she said. Harry smiled.

"That's ok Professor, I shouldn't of exploded like that," Harry answered. Professor McGonagall smiled also and walked towards Ron. Snape came down and asked to speak to Riley in private. Ron, Hermione, and Draco eyed him and then turned to Harry.

"I wonder what he's telling her." Hermione said, trying to see over a group of seventh year's heads.

"Oh I know," Harry told them. They all stared at him.

"What is he saying?" Draco asked, coming closer.

"Snape is Riley's father," Harry answered, taking a bite of key lime pie. Harry turned to look at Riley. She looked shocked...more shocked then any of her friends.
