First day back. It was February 12th, and through out the school children were greeting each other after the week off. Riley Shaw however, had arrived early and was searching the school for someone who wasn't exactly a friend, but possibly could be.

Her best bet was the dormitory, and as she knocked on the door and waited, she wondered if what she was about to do was risky. The door opened. Too late.

Almost her height (depressingly), staring back at her was Maura Green. The first year looked rather surprised to see such a popular second year staring back at her.
