Ron had fallen asleep in the dark common room, waiting for them to return. He shouted something about Quidditch fouls when Harry roughly shook him awake.
In a matter of seconds, though, he was wide-eyed as Harry and Key began to tell him and Hermione what had happened in the forest.
Harry couldn't sit down. He paced up and down in front of the fire. He was still shaking.
"Snape wants the stone for Vol.." said Harry.
Before Harry could say Voldemort's name, Key stops him,remembering some people aren't comfortable hearing his name.
Harry gets the hint and says "We had it wrong,Snape doesn't want the stone for himself,he wants for you-know-who,with the elixir of life he'll come back".
Hearing this made Ron feel nervous,so Hermione says a word of comfort.
"Everyone says the one person You-Know-Who was ever afraid of is Dumbledore,as long as Dumbledore is around Harry,you're safe,as long as Dumbledore is around you can't be touched", said Hermione.
The sky had turned light before they stopped talking. They went to bed exhausted, their throats sore.
But the night's surprises weren't over.
When Harry pulled back his sheets, he found his invisibility cloak folded neatly underneath them. There was a note pinned to it:"Just in case.In years to come."
Also during the night,Key and Makai explain to their friends what happened in the forest after they left.
"That's a scary thought,for you-know-who to come back", replied Li.
"How's Harry doing?" asked Qin.
"He's frightened out of his mind,I never saw him like this, I m worried", Key told them.
Keni tells what happened at the hospital wing with Syria,she'll recover,but it will take a while.
"Thanks for telling me,we better go to bed before something dreadful happens",said Key, as she got up.
"Another attack", Betty assumed.
"No,us getting another detention", answered Key.
"Right,let's go", said Betty.
"Good night,everybody", said Devin.
"Yeah,come on Makai", said Key.
They all wish each other a good night
The few days were awful especially for Harry,he could never quite remember how he had managed to get through his exams when he half expected Voldemort to come bursting through the door at any moment.
Key was starting to have better days,there were no attacks,and she tried to relax her cousin.
Through the days,most of the faes were completely safe,Key and Makai didn't go through an wierd trance,they haven't seen Rei or Lei, things were completely and weirdly normal.
Which made them more weird than ever,then soon exams came,which brought the worries down a little.
Yet the days crept by, and there could be no doubt that Fluffy was still alive and well behind the locked door.
It was sweltering hot, especially in the large classroom where they did their written papers. They had been given special, new quills for the exams, which had been bewitched with an Anti Cheating spell.
They had practical exams as well. Professor Flitwick called them one by one into his class to see if they could make a pineapple tapdance across a desk.
Professor McGonagall watched them turn a mouse into a snuffbox - points were given for how pretty the snuffbox was, but taken away if it had whiskers.
Snape made them all nervous, breathing down their necks while they tried to remember how to make a Forgetfulness potion.
Harry did the best he could, trying to ignore the stabbing pains in his forehead, which had been bothering him ever since his trip into the forest.
Professor Walmore plans a special test.
"Well,class,since most of our powers are remote, we'll have to take a test based on History of the Faes,so I hope you read the book well", Professor Walmore told her students.
Most students were upset,except Alden.
It was perhaps the most average thing that's happened in class,which made the other students stay completely quiet.
After History of magic, the exams are over,which bring happiness
Harry couldn't help cheering with the rest.
"That was far easier than I thought it would be", said Hermione,as they joined the crowds flocking out onto the sunny grounds.
"I needn't have learned about the 1637 Werewolf Code of conduct or the uprising of Elfric the Eager." Hermione always liked to go through their exam papers afterward, but Ron said this made him feel ill, so they wandered down to the lake and flopped under a tree.
The Weasley twins and Lee Jordan were tickling the tentacles of a giant squid,which was basking in the warm shallows.
Even the faes are happy that the exams are over.
Key and Makai are walking together in the grass.
"You know I got to admit that I never thought I would go through those exams again, at least this time I was prepared", said Makai.
"I'm glad, you I always wanted to ask you, what do you plan on doing once this is over", smiled Key.
"When what is over?" asked Makai.
"You know dealing with enemies from the past", answered Key.
"You mean will I leave or won't I?" asked Makai.
"Yeah", replied Key, having her head down, looking depressed.
That's when Keni,Betty,Devin, and Alden comes behind them.
"Chin up, Key, exams are over", said Devin, lifting her head with his finger.
"It's not that, it's something else,isn't it?" Alden figured out,observing Key's emotion.
"Key?" says Betty.
Makai hugs Key, and whispers "No, I won't leave you,I care about you,okay".
"Kay", said Key.
"So,my suspicions were right,this is the beginning of young love", whispered Betty.
