"Are you serious right now?" Chaeyoung questioned Yeri as the latter proceeded to fall dramatically onto her desk, complaining loudly. "C'mon Yeri, your grade can't have been that bad."

"Really?" Yeri whipped around and slammed her Potions exam down on Chaeyoung's desk. "I got a ninety-seven, Chae. Ninety-seven."

"You've got to be kidding me." Chaeyoung muttered, shaking her head in disbelief. "I didn't even know people like this existed."

"You'd better start believing it, then." Jaehyun spoke up, joining in on their stressful conversation. "Yeri's been making disgusted faces for the past ten minutes while Professor Hyunah was giving her lecture; I honestly thought she was trying to melt herself into the ground."

"How can you guys not be shocked?" Yeri questioned her peers incredulously. "I probably did a whole lot worse than you two."

"I got a ninety." Jaehyun said pointedly, turning to Chaeyoung. "You?"

"Ninety-five." Chaeyoung responded, before directing her attention to Yeri. "See? Both of us did worse than you, but you don't see any of us complaining."

Yeri opened her mouth, completely prepared to respond until a very much unwanted figure suddenly appeared amongst the trio.

"Hey guys." Jungkook said, smiling a little too brightly as Yeri closed her lips into a thin line. "How'd you do on the exam?"

"Ninety." Jaehyun said monotonously, still skeptical over any Slytherin he crossed paths with. He and Mingyu still weren't speaking to each other, in fact, due to the incident the other week in which Jaehyun had punched him straight in the jaw.

"Tsk, not bad I suppose." Jungkook said, tilting his head in a cocky manner to the side. "I got a hundred, of course. How about you, Yeri?"

"Get out of here, Jungkook. Please." Chaeyoung demanded, waving Jungkook off as Yeri's fists tightened at her sides.

"You can't boss me around, Ravenclaw." Jungkook sneered. "I'm a Prefect, after all."

"So am I." Jaehyun said, standing up so that he stood slightly above Jungkook. "And I'm a year older than you, so I'd suggest you go before I take matters into my own hands."

"Fine." Jungkook shrugged, smirking at Yeri before heading back to his own seat.

Yeri's fists unclenched as Jungkook strolled away. He clearly took pleasure in making fun of her, and it bothered Yeri to a limitless extent. It surprised her, in fact, that she had not bothered to say a word in the brief argument Jungkook had had with Jaehyun and Chaeyoung.

As the class packed up and began filing out of the classroom, Yeri was suddenly approached by another female student, who - by the looks of it - seemed to be a Hufflepuff.

"Hey." The Hufflepuff greeted Yeri warmly, though she seemed quite unavailable for a handshake as she struggled to keep the chartreuse-printed flyers in her arms. The slightly messy hair and half-on robes definitely weren't helping. She was most likely one of those students who stayed up late studying, much like Yeri herself.

"Are you planning on going to Hogsmeade?" She suddenly asked, catching Yeri off guard as she exited her own thoughts.

"Hogsmeade?" Yeri questioned the girl, completely confused. "Could you explain a bit?"

"Sure!" The girl responded enthusiastically, swiftly handing a flyer to Yeri and almost giving herself a paper-cut in the process.

"Hogsmeade is a district in the wizarding world with several shops, restaurants, and attractions to visit with your friends and family. Since you're new here - well, I'm assuming, since word has gotten out about you and I've never seen you around before this year - I figured you'd like some help or guidance." The Hufflepuff said, smiling brightly as she finally mustered up the strength to reach her arm out for a handshake. "I'm Yuju, by the way; in my second year."
