IT was the following day, and liora had been released from the hospital wing she was excused from all classes for the day. So while her friends were in their last class of the day, she sat in the empty common room reading she liked hearing the bustling in the halls made her feel less alone. She would be in her dorm, but she didn't want to be alone with her thoughts or she'd think about the figure again.

Soon, the calm quiet common room was full of heavy steps and stomping feet as the last class was released. Hermione, Ron, and Harry came into the common room. Hermione was scolding Ron for something while Harry sluggishly walked with them a light smile on his face.

Harry spotted liora and immediately went to her, followed by Hermione and Ron. He plopped beside her and leaned his head on her shoulder. Liora didn't look up from her book. She held her book in one hand while used her other to lightly pat Harry's head in acknowledgement. She rubbed his hair softly he sighed liora kept reading he sighed louder to get her attention. She paused her reading.

"Yes four eyes?" Liora said looking at him he smiled

"Nothing I'm tired"

"He's tired because he hasn't slept in three days and won't take a sleeping drought" Hermione said crossing her arms Harry rolled his eyes at her

"Why don't you want to take the drought?" Liora asked softly she really didn't feel the need to talk louder or in a stern way she knew he had his reasons

"The dreams get worse" he replied liora nodded in understanding.

"He's been waking up every night quite annoying if you ask me" Ron said jokingly liora threw a pillow at him making Harry chuckle. Liora grabbed another pillow and put it in her lap she patted it.

"Lay down you don't have to sleep just rest while I read yes?" Harry nodded to Lioras suggestion and laid on the pillow in her lap she looked at Hermione and Ron and gave them a wink. She knew what she was doing. They nodded understanding they decided to silently play a game of wizards chess.

Liora played with Harry's hair as she read charming her book to change pages on its own. Soon enough Harry was asleep in her lap. They all silently did their own thing. The silence didn't last very long when the twins came in with the rest of their friends rowdy as ever.

Liora shushed them immediately she grabbed her wand and did a spell to grab their attention. They all went silent she put her finger to her lips then pointed down to Harry they all nodded in understanding. They walked over all finding places to sit. Fred sat beside Liora he put his arm around her shoulders.

"What's happening?" George asked in a quiet voice

"Harry hasn't slept in a while so I'm letting him sleep right now he needs it" liora replied

"Shouldn't you be the one resting?" Myra asked crossing her arms

"Miss strict you can sit next to miss stricter over there" liora nodded her head to Hermione "but I am resting I am reading, this is me resting"

"Do you always have to be taking care of someone?" Cameron asked shaking his head

"I'm not taking care of anyone right now he is just sleeping and I'm letting him. Right now seeing everyone right here happy and healthy that's helping me relax. I know you are all safe. He needs to rest he has so much to deal with the DA, Umbridge, you know who and keeping up with school work."

"We just want to make sure your ok you were just in the hospital wing" Eloise said with a sigh

"Yeah Li you really should be resting we don't know what caused you to faint" E.Z said liora looked down avoiding eye contact
