Common Room

Kelsi entered with Libby scrambling, and grabbed her arms. "I... I don't think I can do this. Imagine getting caught... They'll do that to me. I'm so scared, Libby!" She whispered, and looked up with wide eyes. "And even Rachel- she just LEFT, like that! And Serenity! This is so dangerous, imagine what might happen. Libby, I'm so scared..." she shook her head, and blinked a few times trying to keep her eyes dry.

"I... maybe you really shouldn't have come here this year," Libby said quickly, then added, "it's really too dangerous. And, I'm worried about you, too. But--anything I can do, I will."

"Maybe... I could go home over Winter Break, right? But that demonstration. Imagine how Olivia's feeling!"

"I dunno. She volunteered to do it, that Slytherin's probably proud of herself." Said Libby, the one whose friendship with Olivia had drifted since second-third year. She didn't know anything about Olivia anymore.

"She tried to deny it, though..."

"Modesty! She's being modest about it."

"DOES IT REALLY MATTER?!" Kelsi cried out. She held her head in her hands. "It's already the second day and I can't stand it!" Then she lowered her voice. "When's the next full moon?!"

"Not until the... twenty-seventh of this month, I believe. The potion takes two weeks to brew, so I need to gather some ingredients by next week... but how?" She thought momentarily. "Ah! I'll get it out of the teachers' potion cabinet!"

"I could help you. You just have to conjure them from a small distance!"

Karin muttered the password ("Azkaban") and she stepped inside.

"Eric?"

Sadly, Eric wasn't there.

"Came in here for nothing, then." she muttered, and she went back to the Great Hall.

Where twenty minutes left to Amanda's free block, she sat at table located near the fire and rewriting a large collection of notes she had in a neat pile beside her. She was uses color ink after each page, underlining the more important notes and making small scribbles beside each note to mark it's catorgory.

Kelsi was in here getting her bag ready. Her red hair was in a poofy ponytail and she had on a rain coat and a pair of jeans. It being the 31 October, it was pouring rain outside. She felt disappointed.
