Snape was taken to a Ministry holding cell that was warded against Disapparation as a trial for Snape was scheduled for the next Monday at the Wizengamot.
Amelia sent Heather an owl informing her of the successful arrest. Heather informed Harry, Amy, Susan, and Hannah. They all agreed to take a wait and see approach on what would happen to Snape but were cautiously optimistic that he would be convicted on multiple charges, including being a Death Eater.
"This afternoon, " said Heather with a genuine smile, "I think you kids have earned a break. I've been pushing you pretty hard and you've been great students. So, I think we'll take it easy this afternoon. How would the Yellow Quartet like a swim in the pool? I know none of you have bathing suits, but I'm okay with you four swimming in the pool naked."
So, Harry, Amy, Susan, and Hannah took off all their clothes and walked naked out to the pool.
To the delight of Amy, Susan, and Hannah, it was obvious in the afternoon sun that Harry's scar removal cream was starting to do its job. There was still a way to go but-
"Harry, your scars look a lot more feint than when I first saw them, " said Hannah happily.
"That cream is working, " said Susan confidently, "We do have to be a bit patient with it, but seeing the scars start to fade is a great sign."
"I think Madam Pomfrey will be happy with the progress I'm making, " said Harry hopefully.
"Your scars may be gone by then, " said Amy encouragingly, "And the Nutrient Potion seems to be working as well. We're only a few days in, and you've gained a few pounds and look a little healthier. Again, you've got a way to go. But the early success is encouraging."
Harry, Amy, Susan, and Hannah got into the pool and enjoyed about fifteen minutes of swimming before Heather called them out of the pool to have a fly.
Heather presented Harry, Amy, Susan, and Hannah each with Nimbus 2001 broomsticks.
"These are new brooms, " explained Heather, "They're the best racing brooms in the world except for Firebolts. I won't buy Firebolts because they are too expensive. I know the Abbotts are implausibly wealthy. But, even having the funds to be able to do so, I think it's a waste of money to spend a king's ransom on a racing broom when there are really good racing brooms that are quite reasonably priced."
Harry, Amy, Susan, and Hannah all took one Nimbus 2001 and kicked off hard from the ground.
Up, up, they soared, and before they knew it, Harry, Amy, Susan, and Hannah were high in the air.
Harry was the best by far.
"Wow, Mr. Potter, " said Heather in amazement, "I've never seen anyone fly that well."
Hannah was the second best followed by Susan and then Amy. But they all flew well. Harry was much more skilled at making turns on a broom than the girls and that was the difference that made him the best flier.
"That was really fun, " piped up Harry when he, Amy, Susan, and Hannah had landed, "But I haven't changed my mind about Quidditch. Flying is awesome. But I still have no interest in Quidditch."
"I don't understand, " said Hannah, "Why so many witches and wizards think they need to play a violent game to have fun on broomsticks. Just pure flying is a lot more fun with a lot less danger."
"Auntie Amelia never considered letting me play Quidditch, "interjected Susan, "And when a babysitter took Hannah and I to a professional match, I understood why at once. We saw up close how violent and dangerous the sport really is.'
"I grew up an avid sports fan, " added Amy, "With a particular liking for baseball and basketball. However, from the point of view of spectator sports, I think I would find Quidditch both boring and inherently unfair. If I understand the rules correctly, one team could be far superior to another and in one instant see a hundred forty point lead, which would be a fourteen goal lead, become a loss because the damn snitch carries way too much weight."
"Plus, " smiled Harry, I love the simplicity of flying on brooms."
Harry, Amy, Susan, and Hannah got back on their brooms and had a few races, all of which Harry won.
"Now, " said Heather, "There's a reason I had you lot all stay naked after getting out of the pool. You're going to have a naked water balloon fight. "
Heather pointed to a group of water balloons on the ground that were bright vivid colors: yellow, pink, orange. lime green, sky blue, and milky white.
Harry, Amy, Susan, and Hannah started throwing the water balloons at each other.
Each hit each of the others a few times and got hit by each of the others a few times. There was no clear winner and that didn't bother of them.
By the end of the water balloon fight when all the water balloons were gone, Harry, Amy, Susan, and Hannah were laughing, giggling, and having a good old time.
It was a pure moment. Friends having fun with friends and kids being kids.
