Harry Potter

"You are most definitely not more trouble than you're worth." Dumbledore smiled gently. "Ah, Poppy!" He smiled at Madam Pomfrey as they entered the hospital wing. He gently laid Bailey down on a nearby bed. Madam Pomfrey instantly set about treating her wounds.

"I'll need to keep her here overnight but she'll be fine in the morning." Madam Pomfrey sighed slightly. She bustled back into her office momentarily, and at that moment Fred returned with Belle and Snape wasn't too far behind them with the Calming Draught. He handed it to Rei, who took a deep yet shaky breath and then drank it, visibly calming nearly instantly.

Bailey looked around. "Perfect.." She said softly.

Belle walked up to her bed and took her mothers hands, "Mum.. are you okay?" She said softly, kneeling by her bed. Her long black wet hair, since she had just had a bath was hanging infront of her face, much like the way Severus's had when he was younger.

"If you do not need me anymore, Albus, I think I will retire for the night." Snape frowned slightly.

"Oh, I would like to speak with you, Severus, in my office, if you please." Dumbledore smiled and then turned to Rei. "Since it is afterhours, would you mind terribly escorting Mr. Weasley back to the Gryffindor common room so he won't get into any more trouble." He winked. Rei just nodded then stood to leave.

"G'night, Bailey." She smiled slightly then her and Fred left followed closely by Snape and Dumbledore. Madam Pomfrey came out of her office then holding a goblet full of some sort of potion.

"Here. Drink this." She handed it to Bailey. "It'll help you sleep." She turned to Belle. "You can stay here for tonight, dear."

Bailey was better by morning, there were just some bruises lower on her body and Belle and her were getting ready o leave the hospital wing. Bailey smiled, "Are you ready,Belle?"

Most everyone was in the Great Hall for breakfast. Rei had actually fallen asleep at the staff table. Snape, on the other hand, was nowhere to be seen.

Bailey poked Rei when she got there. "Rei, are you okay?" She said, tilting her head gently. Eating some breakfast.

Rei jumped slightly. "Bwa...." She rubbed her face slightly. "Oh...I didn't sleep much last night. I was too worried."

"Sorry to make you worried, but I'm alive.. A bit sore, but alive.."

"It's not your fault." She yawned widely and stretched a bit. "It's not like you beat yourself up or anything."

Bailey laughed, nodding slightly. "I agree with you, but like I said last night, I'm more trouble than I'm worth."

"Nah." Rei smiled slightly. "It's not like you did stuff intentionally to get this to happen. So it's not your fault at all."

Bailey sighed gently, "Maybe it's time for me to go back into hiding."

"Dumbledore can keep you safe." Rei frowned. "There's no need for you to leave. Dumbledore is the only man the Dark Lord ever feared, yanno."

Bailey nodded, "I know, but he shouldn't have to.. I can't believe they are cming at me this harshly."

"I do not mind, my dear." Dumbledore smiled at Bailey. "The two of you work exceptionally well together and I do not wish to loose a teacher before the year is over. So I insist that you stay."

Bailey nodded, "Thank you Professor." She said softly, yawning. "I can't believe it's monday already."

"Me either." Rei laid her head back down on the table. "And we've got the seventh years first." She groaned slightly.

"Lucky us.." She muttered, "Slytherins and Gryffindors or Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs?"

"All of them." Rei paused slightly. "Not every student takes every subject they had to before during their sixth and seventh years so the class is just all of them."

Bailey rolled her eyes gently, 'Joy." She said softly, "Lets go then, we better go."

"It's the same class we had last week, with the Weasleys in it." Rei rolled her eyes slightly then stood and followed Bailey.

Bailey grinned softly, shaking her head. She walked up towards her class room.

Belle was sitting insidse Professor Snape's class room nervously.

When the two walked into their classroom, everyone was already there and seated. "Oh." Rei frowned slightly.

"How nice of you to turn up." Fred grinned from his seat in the front and Rei just glowered at him. "We were beginning to think you weren't coming." He either didn't notice Rei's glares or just ignored them.

"Oh, don't you start already." Rei growled slightly as she walked to the front of the classroom.

Snape swooped into his classroom, a little later than usual, and waved his wand slightly. All the homework assignments that weren't already on his desk flew into the air and zoomed over to his desk, landing in a neat pile on top of it. He waved his wand again and instructions to another rather simple potion appeared on the blackboard. "You have until the end of class."

Bailey smiled and looked at Rei, she hadn't prepared a lesson plan, hopefully Rei had when she was sick.

Belle got to work straight away and made a green potion this time, she placed it in a potion vial, capped it off and was first up to Severus's desk. "Here you are, Professor." She said gently, handing him the vial, before sitting back down at her desk.

"Alright." Rei perched herself on the edge of the teacher's desk at the front. "I'm not completely sure how much you've learned of the Unforgivable Curses 'cos the notes I've been given are....shoddy at best." She frowned slightly.

"Keep it at your desk until the class is over." Snape glanced up from the homework he had been grading.
