What if Salazar Slytherin had another child that no one knew about? What if she'd been asleep all this time? What if the world suddenly found out about her existence? Well, he did and Cassandra Slytherin is her name.
I didn't wish to get separated from the others but as night falls, the silence of the forest tells me that we're all alone. Wherever they've gone, both the Death Eaters and my allies have long since left this area. To make matters worse, Erin still hasn't woken. I'm starting to worry when she stirs, indicating she's still alive.
Me: Erin...Erin, we need to go.
She murmurs in her sleep but when her eyes don't open, I consider zapping her for good measure but a piercing scream jolts her awake.
Erin: Banshee!
While the thing is still screaming, Erin reaches into my coat and pulls out a bottle, thrusting its contents down my throat before taking a sip herself.
We both start laughing, hard, but when it comes barrelling through the trees I begin firing off spells in rapid succession, not even bothering to grab my wand.

Banshee: Screeee!!!!
Me: Tutela!
A white glow surrounds both Erin and I as the charm takes effect, rebuffing the effects of the Banshee's scream.
Me: Ignis!
Banshee: SCREEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Me: Ignis! Ignis! Ignis! Ignis!
The entire forest seemingly lights afire as I repeatedly fire off the spell. After a while, the banshee's scream is drowned out by the roaring fires as they rush about with the wind as their guide forcing Erin to grab me and take flight. As we rise into the now well-lit night sky, however, I spot the banshee giving chase unphased by the fire.
Me: LETUM!
The body of the banshee, rapidly decomposes, falling apart even as it tries separately to reach our still giggling forms.
Me: Ignis!
Unable to take any chances, I fire off yet another spell thus finishing what the prior had started in wiping the remaining dust from existence thus ensuring its total annihilation.
Me: We need to go far away.
Erin: What of the others?
Me: They already left.
Erin: We could try looking for-
Me: No! They are safer without me.
She doesn't reply but from the way her body tenses beneath me, I can tell that she knows what I'm thinking and while she may not agree, it seems that for now she'll go along with my wishes as we turn away from the train and begin heading off to the south.

I don't know how long we've been flying when I awaken to see the sun already up in the sky. Looking down at Erin, she's visibly exhausted but when I mention that we should stop for a few hours she quickly refuses.
