( With Merula, at Professor Dumbledore's office )
Merula walked to Professor Dumbledore's desk with a nervous expression.
Merula: You wanted to see me?
Professor Dumbledore: It would appear that you discovered the source of the mysterious cursed ice. You revealed a vanished staircase, explored long-forgotten corridors of this school and broke an ancient curse on a vault that many refused to believe existed despite overwhelming evidence, and now, Miss Spelling and her pet are both in a coma...
Merula: I'm sorry, I entered the vault without telling anyone, and dragged Mera with me. I tried to get her to stay back, but she still came... It's my fault she's in the Hospital Wing.
Professor Dumbledore: Witches like Mera Spelling are very rare. Though it can be clearly seen that she's not like many, she prefers to call herself average, yet she does things that prove that's she's not to in order to protect her friends. You might think about what happened to her is your fault, but what you perceived is something else entirely. Is there anything you would like to say for yourself?
Merula: Who created the Cursed Vaults? And why?
Professor Dumbledore: There are many theories. Some say they were crafted by one of the Founders, others say they were built by a paranoid Headmaster. As far as why, most of the speculation is too dangerous and implausible to indulge until we know the truth. I've been attempting to locate someone who may have the answers. I am awarding you fifty House Points for your heroism in breaking the curse, saving your friend, and once again ridding Hogwarts of the cursed ice.
Merula: Fifty House Points! Thank you, Professor.
Professor Dumbledore: Thank me by leaving the search for Jacob Spelling and the remaining Cursed Vaults to me. I understand that the mention of him brings Mera much pain and frustration... We will talk again at the end of your third year, and I would like to discuss something besides curses and your frequent misbehavior... Until then, try to stay out of trouble the rest of this year...
Merula then left Professor Dumbledore's office and went to the Hospital Wing. Winter-Star was now laying on Mera's stomach, as Mera and Aziz were still completely unconscious and haven't moved since they were brought in. Winter-Star meowed as she turned her head to Merula as she stood beside the bed.
Merula: ( sighs ) ( to the unconscious Mera: ) Why didn't you tell us about being sick? Did you think we would see you as weak or something? Or did you think we would leave you out of the search for the vault? I just... Don't understand-
Mera groaned and began to talk in her sleep slightly, but she didn't wake up.
Mera: No... Come back...
Merula's eyes widened before she remembered what she said to Mera after they talked to Felix.
Merula: You went after us because...you were scared that you wouldn't see us again... I am so sorry, Mera... This is my fault...
Winter-Star meowed before she jumped on Merula's shoulders and nuzzled her cheek, in attempts to comfort her.
