I opened my eyes. My head was no longer throbbing. I was expecting to wake up in the dark wet caves of the Chamber of Secrets, but what met my eyes was the gently lit infirmary. Dumbledore sat at the edge of my bed smiling."Well done Sammay, Well done." He said.I sat up slowly. "What do you mean? I didn't do anything to help him.""That is where you're wrong. You went down there with him, so he didn't have to go alone. You entered that room, and you called Faux.""Dumbledore, is he ok? Is Harry ok?""Yes, he is fine.""How long have I been asleep.""Only 2 days, and from the large cut you had, I'm surprised you woke up this soon.""Sammay!" The yell came from the doorway. Suddenly two tall red heads were sitting on either side of my bed."Where the hell do you come off worrying us like that." They said together."Sammay, I leave you in their capable hands. I shall talk with you again later."
The great feast had started. As usual I was in between the twins , Ginny was finally back to her laughing self again. Dumbledore stood raising his hands for silence."This year has been full of unexpected... Incidents, but we have all made it through. This year, the winning house is Gryffindor." He flicked his hands and the banners around the room turned red and entire room erupted into applause... Well except for the Slytherin table of course.
I waved to my friends as they left on the train. Dumbledore was going to take me home through the floo network. I made my way back to the castle and to his office. My bags were already sitting there. I was wearing jeans and a sweater.
"You ready to go home Sammay Evans?"
"I guess..."
"Sammay, you know you can come back next year right."
"Really? I won't just wake up and have all this be just an odd dream."
"This is no dream Sammay, this is your life."
Karma purred from my shoulder and licked the side of my face gently.
I laughed.
