Evanna was still sound asleep as Olive shook her, trying to wake her up. No matter how much she tried, the girl wouldn't budge. In the end, she just decided to knock her off the bed.

"Ow!" She squealed.

Olive rolled her eyes. "I've been trying to get you up for the past ten minutes!"

"But it's a Sunday, I don't have to wake up early!"

"It's 9:30- not even early! You promised me you'd help me with transfiguration today, remember?"

"Oh, right. I forgot." She said, getting up from the ground.

"Wow, you have real bed head." Olive said bluntly.

"I'm aware."

"I guess that's why you sleep in, to get your beauty sleep." She teased.

"Most likely so," Evanna sighed, "What do you need help with? I thought you were doing well in Transfiguration."

"I am, but I can't get the basic Transfiguration spell right. We learned this in our first year and I still can't do it and I'm frustrated." Olive sighed, plopping down on her bed.

"Well, lucky for you, I'm an expert at that spell,"  She said, sitting on the bed across from her friend. "Hey, cheer up- you'll get it right this time." She smiled.

"I hope so."

The two walked out of the common room and made their way to the Great Hall for breakfast.

"Olive! Evy!" Shouted Zoe from the Hufflepuff table, waving her arms trying to catch the girls' attention.

"You're so belligerent, Zoe." Olive huffed, taking a seat across from the girl.

"And you're so blunt, Olive." Countered Zoe, making Olive roll her eyes.

"Where's Brooke?" Asked Evanna, noticing the girls absence.

"Oh, she's hanging out with Beatrice and Ariana today. What are you two up to?"

"Evanna is helping me with Transfiguration. You can come, if you want."

"Ew, schoolwork," said Zoe making a face. "I guess I'll go, though." She shrugged.

The girls began to eat their breakfast.

"Olive, don't look now, George is looking your way." Evanna snickered.

Olive turned around to glare at the boy.

"Why can't he just bug off? He never leaves me alone at Quidditch."

"Hmm.. Let me think..." Zoe started, tapping a finger to her chin. "It can't be because he has a crush on you!" She finished sarcastically, banging her hands on the table.

"Well, thanks captain obvious." Said Olive.

Evanna looked back at George and made a gesture telling him to knock it off. When he replied with a confused look, she shook her head at the oblivious boy.
