BEATRICE WOKE up extremely tired on her first day back at Hogwarts. Lying in the bed next to her Mia had slept through her alarm which resulted in Bee having to rip the duvet off her friend and shake her legs till the girl woke up.
Bee got ready, pulling on her school uniform. Beatrice actually liked the fact that they had to wear uniform, it meant she didn't have to worry about what to wear anymore.
Beatrice and Mia dashed down to the great hall realising they were late. Raven and Holly were already standing at the hall door waiting on their friends.
At breakfast Professor Sprout gave the girls their timetables. Holly and Raven, despite the protests of other pupils, had decided to sit at the Hufflepuff table so the gang could view their timetables together.
Bee looked at her timetable, she had Defence Against The Dark Arts first, then Divination and finally Transfiguration. Strangely, her timetable was the same everyday.
Beatrice shares Defence with Holly, Fred & George, Lee and Angelina. She doesn't share Divination with any of her friends but she shares Transfiguration with Raven, Fred and Alicia.
Mia is the only friend Bee doesn't share a class with but since the two girls are in the same house they didn't really mind.
Bee and Holly walked into Defence Against The Dark Arts with smiles on their faces and left frowning. Umbridge had made the lesson a living hell.
"I swear to god, I'd happily go into Azkaban if it meant that cow being dead" Holly said deadly serious.
"Jesus Holly, that's a pretty serious statement" Bee said with widened eyes.
"Yeah Hols, plus that means I wouldn't be able to see you everyday" Lee replied pouting while Holly blushed. Fred and George faked gagged as Holly and Lee walked ahead absorbed in their own little world.
"How long do you reckon it'll take for them to get together" George asked.
"How about we bet on it honey, 10 galleons that they'll get together before October." Fred smirked at Bee.
"No way, they're far too clueless, so you've got yourself a deal boys" Bee smirked back. Fred wrapped his arm around the girl as the twins began to tell Beatrice about their latest prank idea.

Divination, like usual, was amazing, Trelawney thought she was her best pupil in years. The class started to learn about prophecies, Bee learned a prophecy is a prediction made by a seer.
After Divination Bee rushed to Transfiguration, her long blonde hair bounced up and down as she sprinted down the stairs, apologising as she barged into people.
Beatrice barely made it through the door on time, she looked around for Raven but she couldn't find her best friend. Bee took a seat at the back of the class and began to open her textbook. Fred and Alicia Spinnet arrived late, Fred plopped himself down beside Bee and Alicia sat in front of them.
Around 10 minutes into the lesson Raven finally turned up, she took a seat beside Alicia, discreetly trying to hide her red swollen eyes.
Beatrice looked concerned for her friend, normally Raven was always early and well put together but today she was late and quite frankly a state.
Ever since Cedric's death Raven just couldn't cope, sometimes she'd just break down in the middle of class or during a meal in the great hall.
It pained Bee because she didn't know what to do, she hadn't witnessed anyone grieving before and nobody she knows has died.
The lesson was good, Transfiguration had always been a subject that Bee was really good at but didn't particularly love. At the end of the lesson McGonagall made an announcement.
"For your NEWT's this year I have decided to start up a new tutor programme. Based on your OWL scores I have spilt the class in half and pair someone from the top half with someone from the bottom half. Hopefully this will bring up some of your grades." She stared directly at Fred before continuing. "There is a piece of parchment on my desk that will tell you who your partner is, please check it."
Beatrice, Raven, Alicia and Fred were some of the first in the que. Bee's mouth opened so wide you could fit an apple in it. The third pair on the list was 'Beatrice Gallagher and Fred Weasley.'
Fred winked at her, "Guess it's you and me Honey." Bee noticed Raven leaving and rushed after her friend.
