The virus is gone! I didn't even notice that it was over until Havoc didn't answer me back when I woke up this morning. That is something that neither of us want to go through again.

Havoc, are you alright? Your body is working fine and you're not sick anymore?

Also, something odd happened to my computer. Last night before I went to bed, I was thinking that if I had a newer computer, viruses would be harder to come by. I went to go get it from the Room of Requirement (with so much happening at lessons and with Havoc having to learn magic on the spot, we completely forgot it) and it's now something else. It looks like this now.  Perhaps the Room changed it, but that's odd because magic isn't supposed to work that well with technology.  Hm.  It's something to look into.

Hermione inspected her laptop carefully, looking all over its surface for any chips or scratches.  It had been working fine for the past fifteen minutes, and all of a sudden it had frozen, refusing to do simple tasks such as closing out of her journal or shutting down.

"Maybe the magic at Hogwarts finally jammed it.  It's still remarkable how long it's lasted, electronics aren't supposed to work at all."  She continued to mumble about possible outcomes and magic's effect on Muggle objects as she resorted to pushing random buttons in the hope it would work.  Technology was not her forte. 

After pressing something (she'd never remember what order it was), the computer came back to life.  Success!  She allowed herself a grin of satisfaction.  Scientific process and luck could get you through anything.

But then there was a blue screen outlining some incomprehensible error and smoke.  Lots of smoke.  Plus some weird feeling in the air.

"Stop, stop!"  Maybe another button would do it....

A small explosion and the world went dark.
