➵ CALL YOUR MOM- NOAH KAHAN
'don't let this darkness fool you. all lights turned off can be turned on.'

It had been three days since Neville discovered the Room of Requirement and the school term had started again. Rory and Enzo were sitting in the common room with their friends before dinner commenced.

Rory and Blaise were working on their herbology homework that was due the following morning, first period. "I don't get it, how on earth does one get a Screechsnap to shut up?" Rory exclaimed, slamming her quill on the carpet out of anger.

"I honestly have no clue, if I'm honest." Blaise admitted, massaging his temples.

"Perhaps you should go ask Longbottom for help- he's practically in love with Professor Sprout." Draco said, a proud grin on his face. Mattheo and Theo laughed and Rory simply rolled her eyes.

"At least Neville gets good grades, unlike someone." Rory pointed, her gaze still on her homework.

Draco scoffed, "At least I have sane paren-"

"Don't you fucking dare, Malfoy." Rory spat, her anger levels shooting up like a rocket. He crossed a line and he knew it. Draco chuckled but stopped when he saw Mattheo's head bowed and Theo licking his lips with a straight expression.

Out of nowhere, Rory felt a vibration in her skirt pocket. She shared a look with Enzo and pulled out the shiny coin, making sure to hide it from the other's views. Enzo caught her eye and motioned to the common room door. Rory nodded before saying "Me and Enz are gonna go get some food from the kitchens. We'll be back in a minute."

"Get me some cookies, will you?" Theo said as Rory stood up. She gave him a thumbs-up gesture and just like that, her and Enzo left the common room.

"It's a bit exciting isn't it? Our first proper meeting." Rory smiled, linking arms with her boyfriend.

He laughed, "I'm sure we'll have a blast."

They stood two long lines, Neville and Harry at the front. Rory was third in the line, Enzo on her right-hand side. Neville stood with his wand at the ready as the dummy in front of them prepared itself.

Rory couldn't help but reminisce of the time her and Cedric spent on the third floor, practicing for the final task when she saw the dummy. They were the exact same ones they had used. Rory still thought about Cedric everyday. She still dreamt about him every night. She still grieved until it crushed her soul.

"Expelliarmus!" Neville exclaimed, very nervously. The lines ducked in unison as the Dummy's wand flew across the room, ricocheting off the mirror at the back. "I'm hopeless." sighed Neville.

"You're just flourishing your wand too much. Try it like this- Expelliarmus!" Harry exclaimed, disarming the Dummy as easily as a knife through butter. They all stared in awe as he did it. It was the fact he did it so casually that shocked Rory.

After Neville attempted it again (and failed), Ron and Hermione had a turn. Then, it was Enzo's turn. "Expelliarmus!" he exclaimed, flicking his wand in the correct way.

The Dummy's wand flew a few metres— just as it should've done. Rory beamed with pride as he turned around and winked at her. "Brilliant." she smiled.

"Your turn, gorgeous." he smirked before going to the back of the line.
