"You really jumped into spirit, Cheryl." Noticed Hebrew, "to be honest, even I don't take it that serious."

As Cheryl was readying for History, Hebrew hung out in her dormitory balcony, mesmerized at the wind chime. Cheryl was dressed in an orange costume, Hiss-tory book at hand and an orange "wand", ready to cast some wicked spells.

Hebrew, on the other hand, was wearing black trousers with orange bits of fabric as a smushed pumpkin; a leather jacket comforting a stripey brown shirt. He also had an axe cutting through his head.

They marched together through the corridor, admiring other costumes.

"Look! It's a Jack 'o' Lantern," spotted Cheryl.

Hebrew whispered: "I just saw a zombie."

Cheryl giggled: "I saw our very own Nessie the Loch Ness Monster!"

They turned a corner and headed into class.

During class, Cheryl was thinking about how to tell Hebrew about Anne Junior. At lunch, she pondered about it too. After school, she really had enough. She went to Hebrew's dorm and knocked. Cheryl listened for silence. Aha! A light tingling chime gushed like water into her ears. She knocked again. The chime chimed again.

"Just say who you are, silly!" Came a voice from the room.

"Me. It's Cheryl." Replied Cheryl. Hebrew opened the door. Cheryl entered, "I need to tell you something."

"That's when I saw her name. It also connects as her mother being the head of Science, but I'm not sure why the building went down in flames."

It had been 10 minutes of nonstop speaking and Cheryl was well out of breath. Hebrew, intrigued, stated,

"Fire. It's the easiest yet most harmful way of destruction."

Cheryl tilted her head,

"So?" She enquired.

"So," Hebrew continued, "maybe, Ms Anne wanted to destroy the Science block."

Two weeks later, the Science Block had finished rebuilding and Ms Anne was very proud. The new block had fresh paint and cleaner tiled. They even built the ceiling higher. Cheryl and Hebrew's first class of the day were Literature, but after that, they both had Chemistry. The Chemistry lab was larger than before. Both walls and floors were tiled and scrubbed clean. The chemistry tables were remade with marble and the curtain were replaced with plastic blinds to prevent further fire.

"Impressive, and they only rebuilt in four weeks!" Observed Cheryl.

"Four is a month," informed Hebrew.
"Four weeks!" Protested Cheryl.
"A month!"
"Four weeks!"
"A month!"
"Four weeks!"

After a bit of bickering, the teacher began the lesson.

"Alright students, you are well aware that we had to rebuild this building so please try to prevent all costs of re-destruction." The students nodded. "So today, I will teach you how to make a Nightmare Potion. It is very complicated but I am absolutely positive that you can do it."

Cheryl started to look nervous, she had heard ofa Nightmare Potion before and they were extremely dangerous and caused allsorts of destruction. Odd.
