Daphne was returning from classes alone as she saw Luna in the corridor, looking at the scenery of the school when she noticed luna was not wearing any shoes.
She approached luna and stood beside her, "connecting to nature or is there another story for not wearing shoes today." Luna looked and Daphne and then back to the scenery.
" There are some students with Wrackspurts in their ears, they took my shoes." Luna responded. Daphne has learned by now how Luna thinks and internalises things in her mind.
" Did they do anything else? like hurt you or call you names?" Daphne asked with narrowed eyes. "They call me loony, but i don't think they want to be mean." Luna replied with a dreamy detachment to which Daphne narrowed her eyes.
"Wrackspurts make it hard for some people to think clearly. It's not really their fault." Luna said serenely. Daphne just too Luna by hand "Come with me." she said and Luna just followed.
In the Ravenclaw common room there were some girls chatting, they had a pair of pink shoes by their side "Who wears such ugly shoes? we did her a favor by taking them." One of them spoke.
"See? they are kid girls, its just Wrackspurts in their brains." Luna's voice came from the side as she was with an icy looking daphne.
The girls frowned thinking Luna was making fun of them but then stiffened as they saw how Daphne was looking at them. Aaric and Daphne were the most famous in Ravenclaw as everyone respected and feared them in their house, even older students .
"Get up." Daphne commanded the girls as they stood up "Who took her shoes? come forward." Two girls stepped back as one was just looking down. Daphne come ear the girl and spoke "Luna is a friend of me and Aaric, don't mess with her again."
Daphne said calmly as the other girl nodded, she then looked behind the girl towards the other two, who also nodded like chicken pecking at rice "Tell your other friends too.." Daphne commanded and left with Luna after she had worn her shoes.
The students and cat that were afflicted by Tom's curse were healed overnight as the rumors and fear in the students also receded.
Aaric and Harry just went on with their daily schedules but Aaric did notice a fire in Harry's eyes. Harry now thought that Voldemort might have other such artifacts that may assist in his revival and he wanted to be ready and fight them himself next time, he did not wish to be on the side if a matter involves Voldemort.
A meeting was taking place in Dumbledore's office right now as there were the school board, Minister Fudge, Lucius malfoy and some aurors the ministers had brought.
"Why wont you tell us what the threat was?" Lucius was frustrated right now, just as the students healed overnight and the attacks stopped, everyone believed that Dumbledore was the one responsible for exterminating the threat and they were here to question him.
However, no matter who asked Dumbledore was just answering cryptically "My students and very capable and brave, i was not involved in its extermination. Although i wished i had known better myself to help them better." Dumbledore sighed in the end.
"Is there anything that might endanger the students and you are hiding from us because of personal gains ?" The Minister asked from the side, he was standing a little behind Lucius.
Dumbledore shook his head "Nothing that i am aware of, Minister." Lucius slammed his walking stick light on the ground, signifying his impatience.
"I and the minister deem you no longer capable of protecting the students of the school and demand your resignation this instant." After saying that Lucius looked at the others , expecting their confirmation.
"I disagree, whatever the threat was i am certain it was him who stooped it and he might be hiding it from us for our own safety. This incident proves that the school needs Dumbledore more then ever." One of the board members said.
There words shut the mouth of the minister and Lucius because they made perfect sense and because the children were healed and healthy again they had no leverage to accuse Dumbledore of anything right now.
Dumbledore was quiet as the people present weighed their interests, he just sat there and ate some candy, even offering some to the people present.
Lucius just clenched his fist and turned around, leaving without a word and the minister just changes his tune that same second and started flattering Dumbledore "I never droughted your devotion to this school." were the words Lucius heard from The minister towards Dumbledore before the door was shut.
As lucius was waliking back he witnessed Harry and was tricked by the boy into freeing Dobby.
Dobby had met Harry indifferent circumstances and actually helped Harry during the year because of the guidance of Nibbin. Dobby would help Harry if he needed anything, brought him food if he skipped meals and even got him some supplies for school he needed. The elf had tried to convince Harry to not attend the school as first but did not do stupid shit when harry firmly refused.
That was the reason Harry knew of Dobby and helped free the house elf.
After all the 'guests' were gone Dumbledore was sitting in his office in contemplation, he had not lied to the people who had visited him earlier and was contemplating calling Harry and Aaric for a chat right now.
