Harry and Cassie walked into the Great hall just as Professor Dumbeldore announced that Professor Lupin was the new defense against the dark arts teacher and they both clapped as they sat down.

Cassie sat down between Fred and George and Harry sat between Ron and Neville.

"Well well well look who we have here George"

"Hello little sister"

"Hey twins, I missed you guys"

They both out an arm around her shoulder and smiled at her.

"We missed you too"They told her together. As Professor Dumbeldore continued to speak Fred,Cassie and George spoke in hushed tones about new ideas they had for their shop they wish to have in the future, they hadn't decided on a name for it yet, but they had several ideas to choose from.

"I thought we could do coloured sweets and whatever colour you eat it turns your hair that colour" Cass suggested.

"That's brilliant"George wrote it down in his notepad.

"I thought we could do this ear on a string that lets you hear things that are far away or you could put it up to the wall and hear what's going on in the next room"

Fred and Cassie nodded agreeing with George until they noticed that Dumbeldore wasn't speaking anymore. They looked up and saw that everyone in the hall was staring at them"

"Sorry Professor feel free-"George began.

"-To continue your speech-"Cassie continued.

"-we'll shut up now"Fred finished. After being close friends with the twins for a while Cassie had managed to pick up their 'twin talk' as everyone called it.

"Thank you Mr. Weasley, Mr. Weasley and Miss. Stewart. As I was saying" He cleared his throat "Our school is presently host to some of the Dementors of Azkaban who are here on orders of the ministry of magic. They will be stationed at every entrance to our school and nobody is to leave this school with permission and dementors are not fooled by tricks,disguises or invisibility cloaks.

Dumbeldore looked at Harry, Hermione, Cassie and Ron with a twinkled in his eye. He continued on as Ron leaned over and whispered to Harry.

"Look at Snape!"

Professor Snape was looking across the room at Professor Lupin with a look of loathing. Harry and Cassie knew that look, it was one that they got in a regular basis from him.

"Well that is all, let the feast begin"

The golden plates filled with food and everyone tucked in. The previously quiet hall had filled with exited chatter and laughter. Cassie went back to discussing business with the twins and Harry, Ron and Hermione were trying to eat as fast as they could. Eventually all the food dissapered from the tables and Dumbeldore told them all that it was time for them to go to bed.

The trio told Cassie they would catch her up and she left as they approached one of the new Professors.

"Congratulations Hagrid!" Hermione said when they reached the head table.

"Can' believe it.....great man, Dumbeldore......came down to my hut when Kettleburn left......It's all I've wanted"

They left the Great hall and met up Cassie and the rest of the gryffindors on the stairs. The four of them went through the portrait hole and up to their dorms and fell asleep.

At 1 in the morning Cassie got out of her bed and checked that all her dorm mates were asleep, which they were. She got down on her knees and pulled out her trunk from under bed and dug around in the bottom of her trunk. Eventually she found what she was looking for a full bottle of whiskey, a lighter and a pack of cigarettes all of which she had stolen from Mrs Harshaw.
