"You almost got attacked by You-Know-Who?!" 

"He's in the dark forest?!"

"And I thought my detentions of cleaning cauldrons were bad" 

"Seamus, this is serious" Lea ran her fingers through her hair as she sighed, "Now we know that somehow Voldemort is alive and out there right now" 

The three boys flinched at the name as chills of fear went down their spine. They were taking a stroll outside, trying to relax after their stressful weeks of studying for finals. But with what they knew, they weren't going to relax any time soon. 

"As if the Dark Forest wasn't scary enough" Dean muttered as he stuffed his tie in his pocket. 

"But how can You-Know-Who be alive?" Neville wondered out loud, "Harry killed him eleven years ago, how can that be possible?" 

"I..." For the first time, the girl was speechless, met with a question she couldn't answer for books can't help her with this situation, "...don't know" 

"Well isn't this a surprise!" Seamus cried out, "Ms. Bookworm here doesn't have an answer for a question! Today must be the day for surprises" 

"At least I know the answers" Lea shot back but with a smile on her face. 

"Are you saying I'm stupid?" 

"No, I'm not saying that" 

"Good" 

"I'm saying you're clueless" 

"Why you little-"

The red-head ducked behind Dean as the fiery-boy reached out to her,  he didn't even try to get to her since Dean was the strongest out of the four. Seamus stuck his tongue out to her but she only responded by blowing a raspberry at him, not caring if they were acting childish. 

Dean and Neville shook their heads and laughed, making the other two join as well. They continued their walk around the grounds, talking about who might win the house cup and the grand feast that was only a couple of weeks away.  

As they were discussing on what grade they might get on their finals, Harry, Ron and Hermione were coming from Hagrid's Hut. They were running towards them but not slowing down, "Lea, come quick!" Harry, who was in the lead, said as he passed her. 

The quadrate stood clueless as Hermione said the same thing, her bag in hand. Ron took a hold of her wrist, she yelped as she nearly fell over her feet but catches herself and ran along with them. She whipped her head around, "I'll talk to you later!" She yelled at the boys, who stood clueless as she went farther and farther away. 

"What do you think that's about?" Dean asked after a few seconds of silence. 

"I think about the whole You-Know-Who situation" Neville responds as they continue their walk.
