ALLEGRA HAD NOT BEEN ABLE TO ESCAPE THE INTERROGATIONS EVER SINCE THE SPECTACLE IN THE ENTRANCE HALL, so she had retreated to the only place in the castle she could ever seem to find solace: the library. Tucked into a book in her favourite corner, she finally found some peace and quiet. That is, until her book was yanked out of her hands by a lanky redhead with a smirk on his face.
"Why is it that you're always following me around?" Allegra asked, making no attempt to retrieve her book from the boy who was almost a foot taller than her.
"I think you're fascinating," said Fred simply, dropping into the seat beside her.
Allegra scoffed, "Then you must be as daft as Hermione says you are."
"I'm hurt," Fred placed a hand over his heart.
"Can I have my book back please?"
"It's Halloween! Let's go do something fun."
"Reading is fun."
Fred shook his head in disappointment, "Child, I did not raise you this way." He thumbed through the pages of Allegra's book. "The Shining? What's this even about?"
"A guy goes crazy in a hotel and kills everyone."
"That doesn't sound very fun."
"He also has a weird psychic son who can see all the disturbing murdery stuff that happened in the hotel."
Fred grimaced and drops the novel into Allegra's lap. "Why would you want to read something like that?"
"It's Halloween."
"Exactly! Let's go prank some Durmstrangs!"
Allegra rolled her eyes, "I don't want to go prank some Durmstrangs, I want to read my book in peace."
"Come oooooon Allegraaaaaa," Fred shook her arm.
"Stop! You're so annoying."
"Least I'm not boring."
"At least I'm not a spoon."
Fred burst into laughter, "A spoon?! That's all you've got?"
"Can't you just leave me alone?"
"No can do, buckaroo. You are not spending your Saturday all alone with a murder book. You're coming with me." And with that, Allegra was yanked to her feet and out of the library.

"Where the hell are you taking me, Weasley?" Allegra gasped out, exhausted from trying to keep up with Fred's long strides.
