A 14 year old girl ran down a hallway, dodging and blocking a bunch of spells and curses that were being sent at them. Beside her ran a boy with dirty blond hair who was currently shouting a string of non stop swearing. "Will you shut up Nic" The girl commented as they turned the corner "You already angered them enough with your sarcasm– you don't want me to be mad at you more than I already am" As soon as they passed through a doorway the girl closed the door with her magic, trying to put some distance between them and the people after them.

After a couple more minutes of running and the girl forcing the guy to pick up his pace many times, they finally made it out of the building and were able to apparate away. They landed in a decently sized flat where three other boys were waiting. She pushed her hood off and turned to them.

"What happened?" The oldest and tallest boy stood up while one of the other boys glared at Nicholas standing next to the girl in the middle of the room.

"Nicholas made them angry, nearly got us killed and the building had apparition restrictions and he is too weak to break through them"

"I still don't get why you couldn't just apparate us both out of there?" Nic asked

"I'm not touching you" The girl walked into the kitchen, her high heeled boots clicking on the floor. She poured herself a cup of tea and grabbed a snack before joining the two boys who were still sitting on the couch.

"I'm terrible at running, you know that"

"Well then get better, you had it easier then me, try running in heels then we can talk"

"Well you always wear heels"

She glared at him "Doesn't mean it's not hard"

"Then-" He started but got cut off

"If you say one more word I will throw this mug with burning hot tea in your face and I will make sure it burns" He stayed silent and the girl gave a small smile before Nic turned and went down the hallway to his room.

"So I'm guessing you didn't get the information?" The guy still standing asked

"Who said I didn't get the information" She pulled out a piece of paper and held it up "While Nic was busy insulting everyone in the room I was able to duplicate it" She pulled two small glass bottles out of her jacket and handed them to the boy beside you "I also got the potion ingredients you wanted"

"Thank you" He grabbed them and put them into his pocket

The guy who was standing took the paper from her and left to go to his room and everything went quiet.
