Aw. Kiss! 

"I do like being your damsel in totally fake distress, though." Shy grin. "And the person you'd miss most."

"Yeah, well." Noseboop. "Don't scare me like that again."

"Mutually consensual kidnappings only, then."

"That would be best."

Kiss. "Since you did rescue me so handsomely..." She rests her weight against Ellie. "Pretty sure that means you now have to carry me back."

"If you insist, I suppose." Scoop!

She wraps her arms around Ellie's neck, giggling and snuggling into her. 

Hee.

Off to Professor Reynolds' rooms.

They beat her back - still, she arrives a few minutes later. 

"Good to see you're alright, Anathema."

"Sorry about worrying you guys. The organizers didn't want me telling anyone and spoiling the surprise..." She leans into Ellie.

"I've already let them know what I think about that," she assures them. Then, to Ellie, "You did well. Those were hard charms."

"Thanks," she says. "Of course, now I've got to learn a whole other suite, only I won't be able to tailor them this time."

"We were actually thinking about asking to take our OWLs early... It'll give Ellie a study guide to cover her bases if nothing else, and I think we're ready. And then we can either graduate early or just do extra classes like for other NEWTs in seventh year."

"You'll need Dumbledore's permission - as well as the Department of Education's to take the actual exams. Dumbledore should be fairly easy, and even if the Ministry won't let you sit your exams early there's not much stopping him from letting you into the upper years' classes ahead of schedule."

"Additionally - a general program of study aimed at graduating early is something I can help with." Smile. "It's not directly for the tournament, after all."

Anathema nods.

"You're the best."

She grins. "I know."

"So I didn't technically win this one, but I'm in first place overall and Anathema's still alive, so I think we should have a celebration."

"What sort?"

"The kind with food. And fancy magic demonstrations."

"Alright. Dinner and me as the show, then?"

Happy nod.

"I'll talk to the house elves about getting a nice dinner sent up here."

"Sounds good."

In the mean time, she can go over what's normally on the fifth year curriculum (in somewhat lower detail for classes she doesn't teach), and what if anything they're missing...
