Gellert: You didn't have to...

Krystal: It's a thank you gift. Here.

Gellert: Oh, thank you

Gellert: Oh, thank you. I like this a lot. *puts it on*

Some students had passed by and noticed the two professors. Fortunately, they didn't question it but the other professors did notice it all and had decided to find out why.

Severus: Ms. Heisenberg, Mr. Grindelwald, what are the two of you doing here together?

Minerva: *arrives with Albus* What a surprise to find the two of you here together.

Albus: Let's not tease them. Cut them some slack.

Krystal: Thank you Albus...

Gellert: And to answer your question, we're trying to get her mind off what happened and to cheer her up.

Severus: We see. We shall leave you two to it. *leaves with Albus and Minerva*

Albus and Minerva walk away with smirks on their faces, making both Krystal and Gellert feel slightly awkward. Once left alone, silence comes over them. A while later, they decide to head back to Hogwarts and have dinner there. Once there, they found the professors sitting at the table. Krystal and Gellert joined the professors at the table to eat when Minerva had an idea.

Minerva: Krystal, since it's been a pretty long week for the students and professors, can we have a day for the students to just have fun?

Krystal: Well, tomorrow we could let them have fun. Maybe a water fight would be fun.

Severus: How sure are you?

Albus: I'm pretty sure you too used to have fun in school.

Severus Snape immediately looked away since Albus had caught him red handed, making everyone at the table laugh. After dinner, Albus said that he would announce it for Krystal so she could rest since she's had a rough week. Gellert decided to escort her to her room since it is on the way to his room. At her room, Krystal opens the door and steps inside before turning to Gellert.

Krystal: Gellert, thank you for helping me... *hugs Gellert*

Gellert: Of course. And thank you for the ring. *hugs Krystal* If you need to talk to someone, I'm here.

Krystal: *giggles* Who would have known that the dark wizard would be this soft?

Gellert: You better not let the students know.

Krystal: Not planning on doing so. Good night Gellert.

Gellert: Good night Krystal.

That night was one of the best sleep that Krystal had gotten in a while. Gellert had also fallen asleep with Krystal on his mind the whole time. The morning had arrived and the students were all extremely excited. This was the first time they were enjoying something besides Quidditch. The professors minus Severus were really excited too since they usually don't get to have much fun either. At every corner, you could see students shooting water at each other. The Weasley were playing water pranks all over the place and weren't stopped for once. Gellert had just been walking around and had come across Krystal who was leaning against the door frame of the entrance, watching the students have fun. He walks up to her and starts a conversation.

Gellert: Not joining?

Krystal: Maybe a little later. It's fun to watch them have a lot of fun.

Gellert stands by her, watching the students when the rest of the professors join them.

Albus: Krystal, shouldn't we show Gellert the place we have our meetings?

Krystal: Right. We'll show you later after a late lunch.

The professors decide to join in on the fun, minus Gellert and Krystal who just walked around when suddenly, Professor Filius Flitwick shoots Krystal's back with water, making her scream out of shock. She turns around with Gellert before checking her shirt. Once realizing fully what just happened, a smirk came across her face before shooting water back at him and joining in the fun. Gellert watched as she, the professors and the students ran around spraying water at everyone. He had sat on the stairs when Krystal and the professors had walked to join him. However, his eyes hadn't moved away from Krystal once he saw her drenched. Her shirt was very slightly see-through since it was a peach color and drenched. It stuck to her body, showing off her curves and bra slightly which made him gulp a little. Thankfully, no one noticed. Or that's what he thought. Albus had caught a glimpse of Gellert gulping and he saw how Gellert couldn't keep his eyes of her but was trying to. After they had all gotten changed and had a very late lunch, the group of professors started heading to the Gryffindor common room. While on their way, they bump into Harry, Hermione, Ron and Draco.

Draco: Professors!

Hermione: Thank goodness!

Severus: What do you want?

Minerva: Professor Snape, no need to be hostile.

Albus: What's wrong?

Harry: We can't seem to get the door. We've been saying "Fortuna Major" but she won't let us in.

Filius: Wasn't it "Caput Draconis" before?

Minerva: It got changed remember?

Gellert: We were heading there so let us try.

Now the group headed to the Gryffindor common room with the students in front. The four students sprint up the stairs and stop in front of the fat lady who guards the door. Hermione calls out "Fortuna Major" a few times but the door doesn't open and the lady continues singing to break the glass she was holding.

Hermione: See, she won't open.

Krystal: "Fortuna Major".

Lady: Wait, wait, wait!

The professors stand around Krystal but doesn't block her from the door. Gellert stands next to Krystal and watches as she says the password. Once the lady says wait, Gellert notices that Krystal was slowly losing patience since the door should open on command. The group watches as the lady tries to break the glass using her voice but she can't sing. The lady goes up a few notes badly, making everyone wince and cover their ears with a hiss. Krystal hides her head in Gellert's shoulder and he leans his head on Krystal's, earning a smirk from Minerva and Albus for a second. Once the lady smashes the glass on the wall, Krystal repeats "Fortuna Major". Finally, the door opens and all of them walk in.

Severus: She can't sing. *grunts*

Albus: As much as it's rude, you're not wrong...
