Chapter Eight-  Salamander Blood

Per usual, Camila eats a bagel and bowl of fruit for breakfast in the Great Hall. Ramisa and Owyn have joined Kate, Ginny and Camila this morning as well.

"So pink toad was at the hearing?" Ramisa says in amazement and Camila nod to her. "Bloody hell that's awkward innit then?"

"A bit... yeah." She mumble, eating another grape.

"Sorry..." Ramisa sighs.

"She was a complete bitch to her at the hearing." Ginny says with an angry tone.

"Camila, hey." Camila turns around and see Angelia Johnson.

"Oh hi." The curly hair girl smiles, feeling slightly nervous.

"I just wanted to let you know Quidditch tryouts are next Monday, I hope to see you there." She smiles. Camila give her a crooked smile back.

"Yeah I'll be there." Angelia nods and walks farther down the table to talk to Harry.

"Soo... let's see, Nugget, British Bloom Peters.." Kate calls Ginny and Camila their nicknames, "we have Astronomy, Potions, Defense Against the Dark Arts and then Herbology."

"Fuck, Snape and Toad back-to-back." Ginny rolls her eyes.

"Oh, we got Potions and DADA with Gryffindors too." Owyn looks at her schedule before opening her copy of the Daily Profit the owls delivered ten minutes ago. "Oh, look at that, no headlines on Dumbledore or Harry today."

"That's good... I need to talk to Harry for a minute." Camila tell her friends, getting up. She walk down and stand behind Harry and Ron. Hermione is on the other side, scowling up at Fred and George.

"And why would starting fifth year mean I want a Skiving Snack box?"

"Fifth years O.W.L year." George tells Hermione.

"So?"

"So you've got you exams coming up, haven't you? They'll be keeping your noses so hard to that grindstone, they'll be rubbing it raw." Fred smirks.

"Half our year had minor breakdowns coming up to the exams." George adds.

Fred excitedly continues, "Tears and tantrums..."

Camila tunes out the interesting conversation between Hermione and the twins and turn to Harry. "Hey... I'm scared Harry." She tell the round-glasses wearing boy.

He looks at her confused. "What for?" He asks. She sit in the empty spot next to him. "Well for one, quidditch try-outs."

Harry smiles at Camila and rubs her back. "You'll be brilliant, I've seen what you can do."

She nod and thanks him. "Well the other thing is, I'm really anxious to go to DADA today. I don't wanna see Umbridge."

Harry nods darkly. "Me either. We'll just have to try and stay cool headed.

Hopefully she won't do anything to us."
The younger Gryffindor says and gets up.

"Yeah, let me know how it goes with her tonight?"

"Definitely, you too."

"Camil-" She starts to hear Hermione call her name as she walks away. Camila doesn't bother turning around and pretends like she didn't hear her.

Hermione frowns and turns to her friends. "Did I do something?" She asks Harry and Ron. The boys shrug. They aren't exactly the most attuned to the female world. She thinks for a second, drumming her fingers on the table. "You don't think... her and that Hufflepuff girl have something going on do you?"
