While his physical wounds had been healed back in May right after the battle, his mental scars were still very much present. The constant ringing in his right ear had never stopped, something he was panicked by when it was quiet and he heard it. Nyctophobia had been the result from his time being trapped in the mirror. A light had to be on at all times during the nights in the dormitory but that wouldn't stop the nightmares of being trapped in the void from happening.

One of those nightmares happened the previous night, resulting in him getting only an hour or three of actual sleep which was why the seventh year looked exhausted as he sat at the Hufflepuff table after a long day. He knew he wouldn't have been able to take his NEWT exams in his current state so he had decided to take them at the Ministry of Magic before traveling the world with Noah. Something he was hoping he would enjoy and would hopefully heal some of his wounds.
