It was hard not to let Charlie know what had happened to her, but June also knew that there would be no logical other explanation as to why she suddenly had several pale looking scars on her chest. They had decreased in size and she was waiting for them to fully heal and hopefully not be too visible. She'd come up with a lie later on.

Severus had refused to give her more duelling lessons until she was fully recovered. June had started to protest but upon seeing the worry (and also guilt?) on his face, she decided to let it be.

Harry had been trailing after her, expressing how sorry he was every five minutes. It was starting to really annoy her so she'd sent him down to the kitchens to make her a hot faloofoo. She'd wonder how long it'd take him to realize that was a non-existing word.

Harry appeared on the other side of the hallway, looking equally puzzled.

"What happened, Professor?" June questioned.

"You may well ask!" she said shrilly. "I was strolling along, brooding upon certain Dark portents I happen to have glimpsed . . ."
