    ... Sirius. Both teenagers looked tired, but unhurt. "I want to thank you all, and congratulate you on holding the castle tonight," Amelia said, looking around at the group of teenagers. It looked like nearly the entire class of fifth, sixth, and seventh years. She suspected that those who weren't here, were either injured and in the Hospital Wing, or helping Poppy with the injured. "I know you're tired, but I just want to get statements from you all about what happened. Nobody's in trouble, I just need to know what happened." She glanced behind her, and was happy to see several Aurors entering. She had called in a few to help her collect statements. Rufus was still handling the situation at Diagon Alley, but Kingsley, Tonks, and two other Aurors she trusted completely were there. Minerva cleared her throat. "Let's do this orderly.

"I'm very proud of you all," Amelia said, smiling at the students around her. "You did a great job, and held out against insurmountable odds." Minerva nodded. "I think it is safe to say that without you, things would have been a lot worse." They all looked pleased with the Transfiguration professor's praise. Minerva looked around at the rest of the students. "It looks like things are winding down here," she observed. "You should all get to your dormitories and get some rest. As it is the end of the term, you don't need to worry about attending classes tomorrow, but it has been a long night." They all nodded, and left the adults in the Great Hall, making for their separate common rooms. They paused in the Entrance Hall for a minute, so that everyone could give Harry back their earpieces.
