Before long, you're approaching the fence, reaching it at the same time as three figures in St. Mary's uniforms.
"At last," Will says. "We were beginning to think that you'd forgotten about us."
You grin. "Not quite. I've got some rather happy memories of you."
Grace smiles. "Prevent the apocalypse, and then get right back to flirting: very resilient."
"Well, it would be a shame not to take advantage of an undestroyed world," you say as Will suppresses a grin of his own.
"You too," Romilly says. "We thought we'd come along and see how the hero of the entire world is doing."
Sonia groans. "Please don't call him that," she says. "There's such a thing as being too pleased with yourself."
Grace giggles as Will shakes his head.
"And how are you doing?" Romilly asks after a brief pause. "I mean, with your aunt and…well, everything."
"Surviving," you say. It might not be true: it feels like you've not had a real chance to think about it.
"How's everyone here doing?" Grace asks, leaning against the fence. "Much going on?"
"Not a lot," Sonia says. "Matron's patching up everyone who got hurt, and everyone else is just…recovering. It was a crazy night."
Grace nods, a momentary shadow passing over her face. "That's certainly true," she mutters.
"So are you staying around for a while?" you ask.
Grace nods enthusiastically. "I was thinking of calling on Matron," she says. "I could use a couple more of those pills they gave me."
Romilly shoots her a look of mingled exasperation and reproval, but Michelle nods. "I'm sure they'll be happy to supply you," she says. "Just be sure not to let them do any experiments on your brain."
Grace nods. "Glorious." Then, before Romilly can protest, she's vaulted over the fence, heading towards the school buildings. As a group, you watch her walk fearlessly past the separate collections of vampires and werewolves, some of whom watch her as she passes by.
"Anyone else think we've had a negative effect on young Grace?" Max asks.
"She's alive," Sonia says, smiling faintly. "You could say there's room for improvement." She looks at Romilly and Will. "You coming?"
After a brief exchange of glances, Romilly and Will both climb over the fence, and join you on the other side.
"So," Michelle says. "What now?"
