you open your mouth wide, allowing madam pomfrey to do multiple tests on you.
"it's a phenomenon. impossible, even"
hushed murmurs hit your ears from the side of the room where all the teachers conversed.
"can we be sure she is telling the truth?"
"yes, severus. not only do we have two eye witness accounts, there's also an odd mark on her chest, much like how harry got his"
your eyes glanced down, barely getting a glimpse at the pink, heart, clover-like mark that now seared on your skin. it was constantly hot, so much so it hurt to touch, but having it on your skin felt natural at this point. it was familiar.
the news of your receival of the killing curse had been put on instant lockdown, none but immediate friends and family knew. harry and cedric of course, as well as your family, and you were lucky to be even allowed to tell ron and hermione, though that was likely because dumbledore knew there was no hiding anything from them.
it was, indeed, an insane, almost impossible phenomenon.
you had survived the killing curse just like harry had when he was young.
although, you had already explained your unusual muscle structure to madam pomfrey and the teachers, which you scraped it down to, but madam pomfrey was adamant on doing more tests.
you weren't really sure what she wanted or expected to see from the tests, but it wasn't a bother, really. everyone was still on a high from the win of hogwarts in the triwizard tournament, and classes had been postponed for the meanwhile, so there were no obvious signs that you had been receiving extra checkups.
after sitting around for around an hour, you felt much better than you had only the hour previous due to the help of a few different potions and being able to sit down the whole time.
finally, you were allowed out of the hospital wing and could return to your babies in your common room, who had, according to cedric, been meowing very loudly all around the common room.
the moment you entered through the barrel door, there was an entourage of meows and paws coming onto you.
"kitties!" you beamed, scritching all of their heads as they rubbed up against you, purring, meowing and crying.
you felt yourself tear up a little at the baby kitties who missed your presence for the past many hours.
muichiro instantly climbed up your shirt, latching into your chest as obanai crawled around your shoulders, kyojuro bumping his head into your leg and shinobu pawing at your arm with giyuu just sitting still by your leg. gyomei meowed deeply, nudging his head on your hand.
you retreated back into your room that night where you had very little space in your bed, accompanied by all of your cats, having heard news that there would be a party the following night as to allow the victors to rest before encouraging the cheer that came from winning such an event, which the three of you still had to sort out your winnings for.
honestly, you didn't care much for money, and if you got anything, it'd go to your family, so you didn't mind what happened.
so, you fell asleep feeling safe and warm, finally in the comfort of your own bed.
