Eliza and Hermione sat down in their flat, waiting for Amanda and hoping to convince the other girl to change her mind. Hermione asked Eliza to come with her because she knew that Amanda might not listen to her. As Amanda's best friend, Eliza knew what to say to her fellow Ravenclaw. She was worried too for Amanda because she knew that Amanda would keep everything in and not tell anyone how she was hurting.
Amanda Apparated into their flat. "Hey." Her voice died down at the piercing gazes of her friends. She rubbed the back of her neck before sitting down in front of them, trying to read the atmosphere. She didn't know why it seemed so awkward and intense.
Amanda cleared her throat and sat down in front of them. "Good morning. What's the occasion?" Eliza and Hermione stared at each other, communicating with their eyes. Amanda looked at them in confusion. What were they doing in front of her? What was going on?
"How is your deal with Ginny?" Hermione asked suddenly, turning her piercing gaze to Amanda.
Amanda frowned at the sudden question before shrugging her shoulders. "Why do you ask all of a sudden?"
"Amanda Faye." Eliza said with a frown. "How is your deal with Ginny?"
Amanda stared her best friend down before letting out a sigh. "It's going well." She looked away from her friends and grabbed a croissant that was on the table, munching on it. Eliza and Hermione looked at each other, knowing the deal wasn't going well at all. It was a stupid deal proposed by a fool. How would it go well?
"And how are you doing with this deal?" Eliza asked her.
Amanda stopped eating and stared at her friends. She saw how worried they were and felt a little guilty at how she had been acting, but she turned away from them once more and swallowed her food. "I'm just swell." It was a lie. All of them knew it was a lie.
"Ada." Hermione started worriedly. "Why are you still going through this deal when all it's been doing is hurting you?"
Amanda raised an eyebrow. "And why should I not go through it?"
"Have you seen yourself?" Eliza said angrily, standing up. She couldn't believe what Amanda just said. It was like she didn't even care about what they had to say. Like she didn't even care about herself. "You've changed so much! You're not yourself."
She was about to say more when Hermione pulled her down and whispered in her ear. "Calm down, love. Calm down."
Eliza took a deep breath before relaxing in her seat. Hermione smiled softly at her before turning back to Amanda. "She's right, Amanda. You've changed a lot during the past 16 days."
