I know it's short, but it's kind of just some fluff! Hope you enjoy! :rosie:


Chapter 29


Weeks went by since I went to the meeting with Dumbledore. It was late May, and school was to be out soon. I had spent most of the time in the Infirmary. And according to my teachers, I was lucky to make it out just in time to take my exams. What luck I have.

It was strange in some of the exams. Charms was the worst though. The exam itself was easy, it’s just that, I would usually be sitting next to Jen, and now she was gone. It was a sad thought. But I knew she was somewhere, and most certainly alive. Oh gosh, I pray that she’s alive!

Finally, after my last exam, Transfiguration, I walked out of the classroom with Charlie, since Tonks had run ahead because she really had to go to the bathroom, and found who else but Heather Finnigan, fresh out of the infirmary. She still looked a little weak, but her teachers today still made her take their exams. I hadn’t talked to her in ages, but her auburn hair was still shiny, and she was still smiling.

“Hey Bandy,” she greeted me. I looked up at her, smiled back, and said, “Great to see you out of the Infirmary. Feeling better?”

“Better than I did when I came in,” she said with laughter in her voice. “But I’m still a bit dizzy.”

I grinned more, not too sure what to say back to her. She saved me though by saying, “Oh, by the way, Professor Ports wants to see you in his office.”

“Okay,” I replied, wondering what on Earth he could possibly want. “I’ll be sure to get to him. Thanks!”

As walked past her to say good-bye to her, she said, “Wait.” I turned around to see what else she wanted to tell me, when she kneeled down to hug me. “Thanks for saving me in the Forest.” I could feel my face burning as I was in her arms. It wasn’t like a hug from Tonks or Rosie, which made you turn blue; or like a hug from Dad or Charlie, which was a gentle man/Hobbit hug. This was different. As soon as I felt less stiff in her arms, she let go. With that, she walked away, leaving me speechless.

I turned around to see Charlie holding back laughter. I had forgotten he was even there. Now that I think about it, Heather did too. “What?” I asked defensively.

“Nothing,” he said to airily. “You’re face is just beet red.”

“No it’s not,” I argued, wiping my face as if it could take the color out of it.

Charlie shrugged his shoulders, and said, “So, tell me what happens with Professor Ports later, okay?”

I only nodded, and walked down the stairs. As I strolled ever so closer to Professor Ports’ office, I couldn’t help thinking who I had sounded like back there; Charlie when he was questioned about Jen.
