The month continued and the two didn't become any more civil, Penny was consistent in her attempts to learn what happened but wasn't successful. Both refused to utter a word to the other and exchanged an assortment of cruel looks and glares.

November 28th 1987

Liliana was walking around the school accompanied by Charlie, they were debating the best dragon to try and fly on, Liliana had a very limited knowledge on the subject but she knew how much Charlie loved them.

"No no no because of the way they produce their fire, riding on their back would likely burn you alive."

"That would be be a pretty cool way to die though."

"I want to befriend dragons, not be killed by them." Charlie responded while rolling his eyes. The two eventually reached the great hall for study and they went to join their friends on one of the large tables in the middle. Homework or study time was one of the only events where the houses could mix in the Hall and they took advantage of it.

"Lil come here!" Diego said excitedly, she gave Charlie a weary look before sitting down next to her friend in one of the middle tables. "Shush Snapes gonna come here if you don't shut it." Rowan said before turning back to her book. The professors were clearly in a sour mood as they demanded everyone to be quiet.

Diego outstretched his hand to Liliana telling her to read his palm.
"You know palm reading really isn't my thing?" She gave him a questioning look as did the others around them but Diego just shrugged. "Fine." She reached out to touch his hand but as soon as they touched her finger tips burnt and a sudden throbbing pain burst through her body.

"You boggart." Liliana huffed through gritted teeth, she didn't want to attract any attention and all her friends just laughed at her.

"I can't believe it worked!" Barnaby said in shock while Diego looked like he had just won prize money north of millions, he looked way too cocky and it was annoying Liliana.

"I'll burn your whole body into a kebab Diego." She muttered and rolled her eyes but everyone continued to laugh. "If you lot are going to be children I'll sit somewhere else." Liliana stood up, leaving her sniggering friends behind and looked over to see Tulip in the corner. She could feel Snapes eyes following her as she walked and moved tables so she kept her eyes down at the floor to not engage in eye contact.

She flipped her books down next to Tulip who jumped in surprise, "Why are you here?"

"Diego's cruel and the others are children."

"Well, so are you but ok." Tulip remarked which made Liliana roll her eyes again. She sat down and began to study in silence next to her friend.

The two continued with their work but after about an hour a large click was heard as the doors to the hall opened and Talbott walked through. Liliana rolled her eyes in disgust as he hurriedly walked over to the Ravenclaw table, he continued up the hall until he found the first open seat. Right In front of Liliana.

Tulip looked at the two next to her, they each saltily glared to the other without making a sound. She still didn't know what they argued about but that didn't stop her casting charms on Talbott t0 make his life slightly harder, after all it's what friends do.

Liliana was swinging her legs under the table and clearly forgot how long Talbotts were because she accidentally hit his shin. His head quickly rose and glared at her, Liliana let out a small guilty smile even though it wasn't quite intentional. He returned back the kick, only it was a lot harder.

Liliana winced slightly and kicked him back. The two continued kicking each other until tulip noticed and pulled at Liliana's robe sleeves to get her to stop. Mcgnagall had noticed and was walking up to the two students.
