True to her expectation, the Marauders (minus one, though Ashley failed to notice this in time) were all present, but seated amongst their respective Houses as per end-of-the-term tradition. Ashley joined her fellow Gryffindors at their table, only to be greeted by worried glances from everyone but the twins.

She wasn’t sure if they fully believed her because they didn’t get a chance to respond due to Dumbledore calling the students’ attention for his farewell speech.
