... a charm. They'll certainly come in handy again." Harry smiled. "Fred and George really are geniuses, aren't they. Their last letter indicated that they might have something workable on the listening devices. Apparently your dad has been great help." Ron and Ginny beamed at the mention of their father. Arthur Weasley was a wonderful person, but because of his fascination with muggles and his seeming lack of ambition, he tended to be overlooked by most of the wizarding world. But Harry knew that Arthur had a brilliant mind in his head. After all, the spells that had gone into enchanting that Ford Anglia had not been first year charms. Harry sighed. "You guys all did really great tonight, and I'm glad you weren't hurt." Susan gave him a hug, before stepping back into the arms of her own boyfriend, leaving room for Ginny to take over. "You're a great teacher, Harry. And a fabulous leader. You were just as amazing with all of this." The others all nodded. Harry blushed slightly, but kept smiling. "Anyway, get some rest. Tomorrow's probably going to be pretty quiet, but I don't doubt that you're all as exhausted as I am." Out of the corner of his eye, he caught Minerva exiting the Great Hall, so he sent the others to their rooms, and hurried to catch up with his guardian.

"I mean, he was all for giving Malfoy another chance, and look what happened." Minerva snorted, but didn't reply, simply gesturing for him to return to Gryffindor Tower. Harry did so, marveling at how much effort it was to climb the stairs. He knew he was in good shape, but there was a difference between working out and practicing spells, and an all-out battle with Death Eaters. Harry, I think you've forgotten something. Ginny's voice sounded in his head, and Harry jerked, surprised. What do you mean? he asked, confused. He could feel Ginny's amusement. The wards on the dorms? Oh, Harry replied succinctly. Damn, he had forgotten. No doubt students in all four Houses were trying to get into their dorm rooms, and failing. Yeah, I should take those down. That'd be nice, Ginny replied, even more amused. He had a feeling she was only just holding back from laughing at him, and probably only because there were students around her, who would wonder why she suddenly went off. Concentrating for a minute, Harry felt the castle release the wards, and gave Hogwarts a mental 'thank you'. The wards should be down, he informed Ginny. She smiled mentally. ...
