Song:
She's my collar (Gorillaz, Kali Uchis)

"Okay, I talked with a few people you can trust and I think that little potion business of yours might actually work here." Narcissa said, taking a chocolate chip cookie from her plate. "They're all Slytherin, of course, and in desperate need for good grades."

"Regulus, is that you, buddy?" Callisto teased, sticking her tongue out at Regulus' murderous glare.

"I'll have you know that Slughorn is highly impressed with my performance this year." He bragged, pointing at her with his fork.

Callisto snorted, "Rephrase that."

"He likes my potions and my essays."

"Much better." Narcissa commented, taking a sip from her juice. "Did you find your necklace, Callisto?"

"Yes." The blonde lied, going through the list of people Narcissa had given her. She had worn the pendant she bought from Knockturn Alley to the party, but she could not remember if she had lost it before or after she returned to her dorm. So, she decided to ask Narcissa, only to receive a negative answer which could only mean that it had gotten off her neck while she was with Remus.

"Thank Merlin!" She sighed. "It was a very pretty necklace."

"What did it look like?" Regulus asked curiously. Callisto felt sweat form on her forehead at the topic, but she shrugged it off by taking a spoonful of cereal.

"It was a metallic pendant with a small ruby heart inside." She answered, as Regulus nodded. "Kind of vintage..."

"You should wear it more often." Yes, she definitely would if it wasn't lying around somewhere in Remus' room. Frankly, she was a bit salty that she couldn't go get it because it wasn't exactly cheap and it really was beautiful, but of course, she had to lose it.

"I need to get to Divination." She mumbled, finishing her glass of water and getting up from the bench.

"We shall pray for your soul!" Regulus mused. "Or whatever is left of it anyways!"

"God, that tasted like piss..." Marlene complained, drinking the last bit of her tea. Callisto had finished hers around 15 minutes ago and had been trying to persuade the Gryffindor that it wasn't that bad since Professor Sinistra first let the steaming hot kettles on each table.

"Why do you know what piss tastes like?" Callisto questioned, switching her cup with Marlene's and opening the guide to Tessomancy.

"Wild guess." Marlene chuckled, observing the rest of the class. On the opposite table, there were Mira Patil with Rex Brown, staring at their cups with such intense concentration that the blonde almost burst in laughter. Her mother had been adamadant about Marlene taking up divination among her other classes for her N.E.W.T.s, seeing as it was a tradition in the family. However, that didn't mean that the young girl wasn't convinced that Divination was nothing more than straight up bullshit.
