"Good morning." Addilyn said to the table of people in front of her.

"Morning." Some people at the table said.

"Wow, don't act so excited to see me." Addilyn said as she sat down, rolling her eyes.

"Sorry Addilyn. We're just not excited to stand in the complete cold tomorrow for another task, whatever it might be." Lee said.

Addilyn nodded and grabbed a plate, filling it with food.

"What do you think the next task with be?" Angelina asked.

"Maybe it'll be like, very large dogs." Fred said.

Addilyn looked at Fred and rolled her eyes.

"They wouldn't have us fight large dogs." Addilyn said.

"I didn't say large dogs. I said very large dogs. Besides, you don't know that." Fred said, shrugging and taking a bite of his food.

"Whatever it was you said, they won't make us fight any kind of dog." Addilyn said.

"Okay. When you're fighting a large dog, I'll be up in the stands. Cheering for the dog." Fred said.

Addilyn stuck her tongue out at Fred, and Fred reciprocated the action.

"George, you've been quiet. What's wrong?" Addilyn said.

"Tired. Very, very tired." George said.

He had his head held on his hand with his eyes closed.

"I can tell." Addilyn said as she laughed.

"Hey, if you were up half the night with this baboon snoring, you would be too." George said, pointing to Lee.

"In my defense, Fred slept fine." Lee said.

"No, Lee. I didn't sleep a wink. I just cast a charm to make it seem like I did. Seemed to work, didn't it?" Fred said.

"How do you know the charm to do that?" Addilyn said.

"Believe it or not, I pay attention to the things I know I will find useful at some point. Not the useless things."  Fred told Addilyn.

"Most things here actually aren't useless. They're very interesting, Freddie." Addilyn said.

"Don't Freddie me just to trick me into lear- lea-. I can't even say it." Fred said, faking a gag in between each partial word.

Addilyn just laughed at his actions and continued eating.

"Hey Georgie, do you remember when we figured out the egg?" Addilyn said.

"Yea, why?" George said.

"Well, what was it you wanted to tell me when we figured it out?" Addilyn asked.

"Uh, it was nothing. Don't worry about it." George said, now looking at Addilyn.

"Okay?" Addilyn said.

"I'll explain it later. Tonight? In the common room." George said.

Addilyn nodded.

"I swear this class could not be anymore boring." Addilyn said.

"I agree. I mean his name may be Moody, but that doesn't mean he has to act it." Angelina said.

Addilyn laughed and continued listening.

"Miss Rose and Johnson. Is there something you would like to share with the class?" Moody said.
