Chapter 25
Soren and Gylfie were packing up their things in their various dormitories. It wasn't a hard task considering neither of them had much in the way of possessions here. Only what they'd gotten at Diagon Alley. But considering they hadn't been to any classes all year, they'd been expelled.
Soren slammed his suite case and walked outside of the Common Room. Gylfie was waiting for him outside, she'd somehow beat him in packing. "Soren," She breathed with a panicked look in her eyes, "Soren what are we going to do?"
"Don't worry Gylfie." Soren laid a hand on her shoulder. "The others have the potion, they can make it and then it won't matter."
Gylfie shook her head as they started away from the Common Room. "That's not the part I'm worried about." She said. "Do you remember them talking about memory modifying?"
Soren nodded. He heard mutters about modifying their memories, though it didn't seem like anyone could decide if they should do it.
"Well," Gylfie continued, "If they do that will we remember being owls?"
Soren stopped dead in his tracks. He hadn't thought of that at all. "Oh no. We have to hide." He said.
As it turned out they didn't. At that moment Twilight, Eglantine, and Digger came running over. "Soren! Gylfie!" Twilight cried out. "We finished the potion."
Each of them had a small valve of potion in their hands, with Eglantine and Digger holding an extra one for Soren and Gylfie.
"Great." Gylfie said with relief. She took Digger's valve and opened it.
"Wait!" Soren cried. They all gave him looks of disbelief. "Trust me, I want to be an owl again just as much as the rest of you. But I promised Harry I'd explain all the things I couldn't tell him earlier until I had proof. Remember?" The other four nodded. "While now, I have proof."
Twilight did a face palm, but Digger nodded understandingly. "It won't take long." He said. "Let's find Harry."
