The students lined up by the brooms each anxious to get on them.

"Stick your right hand over the broom and say up." Madame Hooch commanded

Voices all over were saying, "Up!" Except for Breena who just bent down and picked it up. The look madame Hooch was giving her made it obvious that she hadn't wanted Breena to do it like that.

"Alright, everyone mount your brooms."

They did and pretty soon the students were floating just above the ground. Then, one of them suddenly went spinning out of control and was about to collide with another Gryffindor that was somewhere behind Breena. So when he went flying by her before he could crash into the other student Breena reacted by flipping her broom out from under her and

WHACK!!

She got back on the broom before she could fall. The student was forced to stop thanks to the slight concussion he now had.

"I apologize for hitting you, but I didn't want you to crash into them." Breena explained

She had been sincere in her apology, but to everyone else it sounded like she was mearly reciting a phrase just because she was supposed to. Still the student decided to except her apology. Mostly because he and the other students were too awed by the stunt Breena had just pulled to care.

By the time Breena sat down at the Gryffindor table they were still talking about it.

"It was like, boom!"

"No one can balance that good on a broom their first try."

"She's a hell of a lot stronger than she looks!"

"You should have her try out for beater, Green."

"Alright. Breena, meet me on the feild after your last class and I'll give you a try out." Thomas Green told her

and Breena agreed.

In D.A.D.A the teacher wanted them to face off against a boggart.

"It's going to be fun watching you mess up this excersize, mudblood." Saida snickered cruelly behind Breena in line

She decided to, just for the sake of it, imitate something she'd seen another student do and stuck her tongue out at him.

"Mudblood." he muttered again

As the other students each took on the boggart Breena kept trying to think of what it was she feared most. She knew what it was, but the problem was it wasn't like the fear of snakes one of them had, or even aliumphobia (fear of garlic). It had no physical form for the boggart to take. Right before she reached the boggart it hit her what to think of. So when it became Breena's turn the boggart became a blank grey sheet of utter nothingness.

"Ridiculous." Breena said with a certain amount of stubborness.

To the other students it sounded like there was little to her voice beyond monotone.

The grey began to take the form of Hogwarts. She went to the back of the line and it continued.

"Do you mind if I ask why you're aliumphobic?" Breena quirked her eyebrow at Saida

"Why are you afraid of fog?" he retorted hotily

She combed her fingers through one of her pigtails and looked amused. It hadn't really been fog at all. Not that she saw a reason to mention that.

"Good point. The rest of my community doesn't want to have the dishonor of being released, but I think it might be fun. So you tell me yours and I'll tell you mine." Then Breena's face fell a little when she saw Saida's confused expression,

"What is it?"

"I'll tell you after class." He muttered

"Okay, what is it, Owl?" Breena asked

and instantly Saida rounded on her.

"Stop calling me Owl!"

"Owl sounds better."

"No it doesn't!"

"I think it does."

"You're opinion doesn't matter."

"If that's all you wanted to say," Breena was about to leave when he stopped her

"Wait, I think I misunderstood what release is the first time you mentioned it."

Breena was pretty surprised that he didn't know about release and tried to think of how to put it.

"Oh, well I don't know what the procedure is like, but people who dishonor the community are sent to elsewhere and never return."

"And you want that?" Saida looked at Breena like she was nuts,

clearly knowing something she didn't

"If I'm in elsewhere I won't be in the community. Maybe I could even live with a family of septuplets (seven)." Breena explained like it was obvious

"No!"

Breena was shocked at the force in his voice

"Don't let them release you. If they try it get a message to me as soon as you can."

"A-alright." She blinked, confused, "Why?"

"You wouldn't understand." He shook his head in a pitying manor (A/N: Feeling sorry for someone is to have compassion towards them and pity is looking down upon them like you're better than they are)

She placed a hand on her hip.

"Of course not. You haven't explained yourself." Breena told in a 'duh' voice

"Because you wouldn't get it."

"Try me."

"Why waste my time?"

"Just tell me." her voice became firmer

"No." his easily matched hers

"Tell me!"

"Fine, I'll tell you!" Before Saida started Breena told him it would have to wait and took off for her try-out.

Behind her Saida was ranting about how unfair it was of her to just walk away like that.
