See, a friendly presence was one of the things that they needed to jump back into the fray, and it seemed that it was working just fine.

Not forgetting that he was dealing with young teenagers, he too trained his peripheral vision on Charlotte and Henry, just to make sure that the excitement was kept at bay. Quarantined or not, school rules were still in place and River was there to make sure that the two won't do anything that was out of bounds.

The mention of Rooney's name made the Healer look up to where the group was conversing, and then to the door just a few steps away from them. River was half-way through his report, and still, the prefect hasn't emerged from the bathroom. The Healer's brows furrowed in worry, and he immediately made his way towards the room where Rooney hid.

Knock knock.

"Rooney?" River pressed his left ear against the door, and he held his tongue from asking if the boy was alright. With limited hearing, his ear was met with silence and it was enough for River to panic just a bit. The Ravenclaw prefect just snapped his wand into two, and the Healer allowed the boy to calm himself down on his own.
