fricking fay dunbar lands on top! (not really)

 THURSDAY 26th SEPTEMBER - 9:30PM

"We can't let whoever did this go unchecked," fumed Pansy. The group was still reeling from Astoria's story.

"You've got that right," agreed Daphne. "Framing my sister like that!"

Neville put his head in his hands, "Death eaters and singing curses, Ginny setting fire to a classroom and getting cursed, and someone impersonating Astoria Greengrass. We're only 26 days into the school year!"

"Has it really only been 26 days?" Blaise asked Dean and Theo.

"Time does seem to crawl in this place," Theo replied, exchanging a glance with Dean.

"Considering the chaos we've witnessed, it's like we've lived through an entire school year already," added Dean, a hint of disbelief in his voice.

Seamus crossed his arms, frustration etched on his face. "But we can't just sit around and wait for the next disaster. We need to figure out who's behind all of this and put a stop to it."

"We need to take a step back," Luna said, her gaze wandering as if lost in thought.

Harry furrowed his brow, puzzled. "What do you mean, Luna?"

She turned to him, her eyes thoughtful. "We're spreading ourselves too thin, Harry. We need to narrow our focus, tackle one thing at a time, and leave the rest for now."

Hermione sighed, "I agree with Luna. Too much is happening too fast." She thought of Bellatrix, who had disappeared after Astoria's story.

"So, do we focus on the curse on the school?" asked Hannah.

"Or do we focus on Ginny's new white hair?" Tracey asked, giving Ginny's hair a long look, as if she still quite didn't take it in.

"No, we focus on who the hell was impersonating my sister," injected Daphne.

"Maybe we should flip a coin," drawled Draco, reclining in his chair, clearly losing interest in the debate.

Jason watched as the group fell into chaos. Sometimes, Jason wondered how these guys got anything done. In fact, he was disappointed. Here he was, finally in the superstar group among the likes of Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Draco Malfoy, Ginny Weasley, and more, figuring out the school's latest mystery, and yet nothing was living up to his expectations. The only thing he had seen from these lot was discord and drama. 

His disappointment deepened as Blaise, Dean, Theo, and Seamus jumped into the argument seemingly for the sheer fun of it. He would bet his entire "Moonlit" series (which was signed by Merlinia Everglow herself) that none of those four had read "Buildings and the Magic That Surrounds Them," like he and Sue had told them to.

Hermione probably had done it. She was amazing.

With a plan forming in his head, Jason decided it was time to assert himself. He had an idea, something that they might not approve of, but what other option did they have?

"You guys!" he shouted, but the arguing persisted. Undeterred, he sighed, drew his wand, and whispered, "Sonorus."

"YOU GUYS!"

The room fell into a startled silence, all eyes turning to him.

"Who's that again?" asked Draco, prompting a sharp elbow from Hermione.

"It's Jason Huntingdon. Draco, you've known him for 6 years now."

With the room's attention now somewhat directed his way, Jason seized the moment. "You all need to sit down," he commanded, earning shocked looks but compliance. Good start, Jason.
