A little bit of Hopeless Magic

XI

Newt had helped Ali to sleep, and carried her to her dorm.

She woke up to the girls in her dorm room gently waking her up. "Ali, what happened?" a girl who never spoke asked.

She shook her head. "Shouldn't we be getting dressed?"

"It's Saturday. You were asleep all of Friday."

"Snape is going to kill me! I missed his quiz," Ali frets

"He heard about it, he let you off the hook of the test and your detention til you are in a safer place."

"Are we talking about Snape here?"

"Surprisingly, yeah."

"Wow."

"He said that he knew you liked the subject, so you could hang out with him any time. He didn't know, Ali. None of us knew." She looked down. "Anyway, it's time for lunch."

"I'm fine."

"You are eating like it or not."
