Sileniatis

Chapter Six

If Ami wasn't still in shock, she would have teased Mina for kissing Yoongi on the cheek. But right now their main focus was getting to the cafeteria where everyone was currently filing into so they could tally their scores. She made a mental note to yell at Mina for almost giving her a heart attack and then tease her later for it.

Mina and Ami made their way through the crowd, pushing past people so they could get to the front. As the two made their way to the front everyone stopped and stared at Mina. Her hair was a mess, she had dried blood on her face and her clothes were tattered.

Mina felt a little self conscious but Ami held her hand and gave her a little squeeze telling her it was okay. When they finally made it to the front, Ami told Mina to sit down while she grabbed a bunch of napkins and water that was on the table to try and clean off some of the blood from her face. She then proceeded to brush her wavy hair down with her hands.

"We're going straight to the infirmary after this." Before Mina could protest Ami gave her a look as if she were saying try me. So Mina gave a sigh and nodded. She knew that if she didn't listen to her, Ami would probably drag her to the Infirmary anyway.

It was silent as everyone watched the two before a small cough was let out, getting everyone's attention. At the front was Professor Dumbledore, looking at the two girls curiously as he waved to them to come forward. Just like everyone else, he too wanted to know what had happened to the girl. Mina shifted uncomfortably in her spot before standing up as she made her way to him, Ami not that far behind her.

"My dear, what happened to you? Are you alright?" He asked kindly once Mina was completely in front of him. Her cheeks lit up in embarrassment and she cleared her throat as she tried to figure out how to explain the situation to him. Without involving Binxie or anyone else in it. Reaching into her pocket, she pulled out the forth coin and handed it to him.

"I found the fourth coin. It was in the forbidden forest being guarded by Aragog. I know we are not supposed to step foot in there unless otherwise but my entire house searched this place inside and out just like every other house did and came up empty so I quickly deduced it was either with the magical creatures or in the forest. When we came up empty handed at the reserve, I knew where it was. So I decided to go and look for it myself. It wasn't that easy and I for sure almost died but I was able to collect the coin and bring it here." Mina said as she looked down at the ground.

To say everyone was surprised would be an understatement. Everyone knew Mina and the type of person she was. So for her to venture off on her own into something dangerous without any help, truly came as a shock to the whole student body and the teachers.

After the initial shock had worn off, everyone in Hufflepuff started cheering loudly as they stood up and clapped. Soon the other three houses joined in with their cheering before everyone was once again silenced by Dumbledore.

"Due to your courage and bravery, 100 points have been awarded to Hufflepuff! And after tallying up all four coins, 600 points have been awarded, putting Hufflepuff in the lead for the tournament cup." Dumbledore said as he clapped.

Everyone in Hufflepuff erupted in cheers once again followed by clapping from the other houses. Ami looked at Mina and pulled her into a hug as they both jumped excitedly. Dumbledore then tallied up the rest of the house's scores. Gryffindor was in second place with 450 points followed by Slytherin with the total of 430 points and in last place was Ravenclaw with 350 points.

After Dumbledore dismissed everyone, they all went their separate ways. Ami kept her word and dragged Mina to the infirmary. On the way there they talked about what happened in the cafeteria. In a few weeks they were going to have Quidditch tournaments and Ami wanted to try out for the team. "Hey Mina, you think they will let me on the team. I mean I've never actually played before. I don't even know what position I want to try out for."
