"Now, now, Severus, I doubt a punishment is in order for this," Dumbledore said, a humorous glint in his eye. "They're alright, aren't they?"

Madam Pomfrey grimaced at him. "Allow me, the medical professional, to assess whether they're fine or not. Girls, go back to your dormitories, and don't take any detours! Go to sleep, for Merlin's sake."

She didn't seem like she would take no for an answer, so we slipped away.

We made it back to the Fat Lady just as we saw Neville about to leave. He seemed relieved when he saw us.

"I was just about to go find you," he said. "Is everyone okay? Where are Harry and Ron?"

"They're fine, they're in the Hospital Wing," I said assuringly. "Thanks for coming after us though."

Neville glowed. "You're welcome. I'm just glad you're all okay."

Surprisingly, I slept very soundly that night. While I was worried about Harry and Ron and whatever had happened below the school, I had a feeling that everything was going to be alright.
