Tonks, as always, wakes up late for her herbology class, even though it is one of the classes she is mildly interested in, she ends up making these mistakes and being late even for Defense Against the Dark Arts, the most important class to become an Auror.
She quickly gets ready, putting on her Hufflepuff robes and runs to leave the common room, but when she turns to enter the Hufflepuff hall, she finds the new girl, Tenebra Danossaris, reading a book that Tonks didn't seem to know, but it's not like she visits the library that much either, so there are books she hasn't seen.
But what she finds curious is not that, but rather that the girl was smiling, just like when she sat down for the house sorting, while reading that book, but then the girl's eyes turn to Tonks, and the smile doesn't leave her face.
"Hmm... Good morning? Shouldn't you have gone to your class, lady?" Tonks asks curiously, adjusting her coat that was badly placed due to her rush.
"The potions room is very close to our common room, I still have some time." She says, her eyes following Tonks in a disconcerting way.
"Even so, Snape hates when someone gets late, if I were you I would guarantee it... And what are you reading there?" She asks, unconsciously adjusting her collar, as if she wanted to breathe better.
Instead of answering, the girl lets out a short laugh, but it makes Tonks feel a drop of sweat run down her forehead, this girl has some kind of problem, and whatever the content of the book is, she shouldn't be reading it.
"Don't pay attention to it..." She says, going back to reading the book, and again unconsciously, Tonks quickens her pace to get out of there as quickly as possible.
"... By the way, you know that boy, the one with black hair and blue eyes... I'd like to meet him, if possible." Tenebra says smiling, and Tonks just nods in agreement to leave as quickly as possible.
"So... That's it, it seems like the year has barely started and there's already trouble for you, Angie." Tonks concludes, looking at her friends and seeing their curious reactions upon hearing Tonks' story about her morning.
"Poor Merula, she's barely started dating Angelo and she already has to compete with Betty's evil twin." Morwenna says, laughing slightly.
"Wait, wait, wait... What do you mean, evil twin? And what does she mean? Since when you're dating, Angelo?" Betty asks extremely excited, slightly surprising them, remembering the explosive reaction she had in the third year.
"We're not dating... It's not official at least, but it will be, we both want it to be... And about being your evil twin, she's identical to you in the first years." Angelo says, laughing slightly.
"And when are you and Merula going to make it official?" Bill asks curiously, eating a piece of chicken.
"I don't know yet... She's... Recovering from her other relationship," Angelo comments.
