PHILOSOPHER.
Chapter 13.
╚═══════════

As September rolls to a close, Delphini finally is able to leave the Hospital Wing, she's feeling a lot better, and the staff haven't told her anything is severely wrong with her (because they don't know how it's even possibly to be sick what she's sick with).

Delphini is just glad that she won't have to stare at the walls of the Hospital Wing any longer. She will actually be able to socialise with her friends.

"Hey, Riddle!" Seamus Finnigan shouts over to the Gryffindor girl. Delphini was heading on her way back up to Gryffindor Tower so she can shower and change her clothes.

Seamus and Dean Thomas appear either side of Delphini so that they can accompany her back to Gryffindor Tower. Just in case she has a relapse and gets too weak and needs an escort.

"Why didn't you tell us you were getting out today, we would have come to get you?" Dean asks Delphini. "Gryffindors have to look out for one another, and us muggle raised" Dean tells Delphini. It's what Delphini and Dean usually discuss with one and other, their muggle lives.

"I didn't know I was going to be let out today" Delphini tells them both. "I'm not entirely sure that Madam Pomfrey was happy to let me go, but I've been in there for two weeks and I have to catch up with what I've missed" Delphini tells the boys. She's worried she's going to fall behind in her studies.

"Maybe we can help, me Ma helped me a lot before I came to Hogwarts?" Seamus suggests to Delphini. "I've been doing some of this stuff for years" Seamus tells Delphini. Delphini isn't going to turn down any help that's offered.

"And I'm sure she'll come to you when she wants to learn how to blow things up" Dean tells his best friend.

Seamus has a habit of blowing things up when he tries to do the simplest of things. Potions, water goblets, and even one of the tables in Gryffindor Common Room. Anything combustible is dangerous around Seamus.

"I don't like the implication, Dean!" Seamus roars back at Dean.

"How about you both help me, I'm sure that I've missed a lot of stuff, and I'm going to need as much help as I can get" Delphini tells them both.

"If you're that far behind, then you might need Granger's help" Seamus tells Delphini. Hermione is always the one with her head in a book.

"If I wanted to be lectured on the perils of not doing my homework, then I will ask her" Delphini tells the boys. She links her arms between both of the boys. "We can all catch up on what's been happening for the past few weeks while we study. And you can show my that exploding snaps game you've been bragging about" Delphini smiles between Seamus and Dean.

"Caput Draconis" Dean calls up to the Fat Lady portrait. The password allows the portrait to swing open and reveals a staircase.

The vibe of the Gryffindor Common Room is almost like a family living room, a place where everyone can be communal with one another. It has a homely vibe, roaring fireplace, comfortable furniture for everyone to gather as groups.
