"Silence. Such a wonderful thing."
"To bad it won't last forever, Harry." Draco seems almost depressed.
"Why don't you three go take a brake. Chill. We got this." Tom says with a slight smile.
"That's a good idea. Yes. Let's go visit the Shrieking Shack, it's quiet there." Charlie holds out his hands. "Let's disappear for a while."
His mates take his hands and they walk out of the room. Outside, they slip under the Whomping Willow, then into the Shack. Charlie sets up charms, then sighs.
"It's been a long damn day."
"I just want to relax with my mates for a while." Harry pulls them on the couch with him. He retracts his wings while kissing their hands. Draco transfigures the couch into a bed and they lay back, holding and loving each other.

At the castle, Severus is teaching his class, which is full of Gryffindors and Slytherins. The group of green is at ease, unlike the others.
Tom is trailing the halls, thinking how quiet it is.
Death Eaters move silently through the rooms.
"Peeves!" Is yelled from somewhere in the school.
"What the hell?!" Tom takes off to find the source, only to see a Ravenclaw clutching her books to her as the poltergeist floats in front of her, holding a can of spray paint. Several heads are poked out doors.
"Go away Peeves." Tom says calmly.
"I like it right here," he twirls around.
"Go." The Dark wizard flicks his fingers, sending the trouble through a wall. "Get to class." The girl runs off. "Go back to your studies." Heads disappear from sight.
With a tired sigh, Riddle continues his rounds.
