The atmosphere at 13 Grimmauld Place that morning was eerily quiet, almost as if time had stopped. Tension filled the air as everyone anxiously waited to hear the verdict of Harry's trial, which was occurring at that very moment.
Reyna and Hermione paced back and forth, their minds racing with worry. Ron, on the other hand, drummed his wand against the floor, his nerves getting the best of him.
The atmosphere was charged with tension, even among the grown-ups. The pressing concern on everyone's mind was the level of peril Harry would face if he were to be expelled.
If that were to happen, his wand would be broken, leaving him vulnerable to the attacks of Voldemort and his followers.
"They can't expel him right?" Hermione asks, her voice lined with panic.
"No," Reyna shakes her head. "Using defensive magic around a muggle who is aware of the existence of the Wizarding World is hard to prosecute. Especially when it's to protect a muggle. It will be extremely hard to prosecute besides Amelia Bones is on the jury and she has a lot of power, more so than the Minister. It baffles me why she never took the job"
"Amelia Bones could have been the Minister?" Ron asks and Reyna nods.
"If she was, we wouldn't be up shit creek without a paddle," The witch replies. "But I think if she became the Minister she doesn't have as much influence but rather authority. She's a powerful woman because she's tactical"
"So you think Harry will be let off?"
"I can't see why he shouldn't be," Reyna shrugs. "If they use Veritaserum then they'd see Harry wasn't lying. But Fudge knows if they do that and Harry still says Voldemort has returned-"
"Then it's a fact he has to face," Hermione concludes and Reyna nods.
"Fudge's career and reputation come first," Reyna replies. "He's an insecure little man, why do you think he's smearing Dumbledore in the press?"
"Trash the competition," Ron says.
"Exactly,"

As the door to 13 Grimmauld Place creaks open, a commotion ensues among the teenagers who hastily emerge from Reyna's room, hanging over the railing in anticipation.
Harry's gaze lifts up towards them, his lips curling into a slight smile at the sight of six faces peering down at him with unabashed curiosity.
"Don't leave us in suspense Potter," Reyna calls.
"Well I need to buy my books for the next school year," Harry calls up and the teenagers burst into cheers.
"I had faith in you the entire time!" Ron shouts.
"No, you didn't!"
"Liar!"
Amidst the jovial atmosphere, Harry found great amusement in the friendly banter that ensued among the group of teenagers.
It seemed that Ron was the primary target of their playful ribbing, yet he appeared to be taking it all in stride, laughing and shaking his head in good-natured amusement.
The joyous mood was palpable, and the teenagers' faces were adorned with wide, beaming smiles, as they relished in the moment of shared celebration as they all head into the dining room.
With a smile on her face, Reyna observed the festivities taking place before her. The vibrant music prompted some of the guests to sway to the beat, and Reyna joined in by clapping along.
George approaches Reyna and extends his hand to her. She sighs before reluctantly accepting his gesture. The witch allows him to pull her to her feet before he pulls her close.
The room becomes their dance floor as they twirl and spin, laughter bubbling from Reyna's lips, while George leads her with ease before he spins her. Her fiery hair fans out around her, creating a halo of warm hues as the onlookers clap and cheer for those dancing in the dining room.

Reyna and Harry were lounging atop the witch's cosy bed, engrossed in the pages of the newest muggle gossip magazine. As they perused the articles, their fingers reached for the sugary treats that were strewn haphazardly around them. The two friends chatted cheerfully, sharing their thoughts and opinions on the latest celebrity scandals and fashion trends.
"She's my idol," Reyna sighs, looking at the pages dedicated to Princess Diana's fashion sense.
As Harry flips the page, both he and Reyna are captivated by the contents of the page. Reyna can't help but think that they might be drooling a little bit from their intense focus.
"Now that is a fine piece of man," Reyna murmurs as she chews on a strawberry lace.
"Johnny Depp is the epitome of beauty," Harry hums in agreement. "Muggle pop culture is so much more interesting than the wizarding world celebrities"
"Amen to that,"
