"What's happening?" Nim shouted, desperate to be heard over the loudness of the first quiddich match of the year. She was wedged between Katie Bell and Fred Weasley on a bench on a crisp Saturday morning in October. Dora Longbottom had never cared to learn about quiddich; so Nim knew hardly anything about the most popular game in the wizarding world.
Katie glanced over to her, "The Seeker just saw the snitch! The game is almost over and it looks like we're going to win!" Katie's brownish hair was falling down into her face and her cheeks were bright red.
"Hey Bell," Fred shouted, "I bet you a kiss Gryffindor will win!"
"In your dreams, Weasley," Katie yelled.
Nim turned back to her book, not interested in what was going on around her. She still told herself that she shouldn't get attached to these people and she refused to let herself have much fun with them. She sighed as the people around her got up and cheered for the Seeker who had caught the snitch; Gryffindor had just won the match.
Back in the Great Hall for lunch, Nim picked at her food. "Something wrong, Nim?" Angelina asked, eying her friend.
"No, Angie, I'm just a bit tired," Nim replied. She was lying, of course, it just so happened that that day made two months since Nim had seen her family, two months since she had been thrown back in time.
"You shouldn't have stayed up all night studying," Katie said.
Nim absentmindedly agreed with her friend, "I'm going to go to the common room for a nap instead of going to the library." She got up, pausing only to detangle a strand of her overly long hair from a fork which Fred and George had apparently stuck in it. She sighed; honestly she'd had enough of the Weasley twins' mischief to last her a life time. She had only been there two months and she'd had frogs put into her water, things tangled in her hair, parchment stolen, glue in her herbology gloves, and so on.
She walked into the common room as an idea was forming in her mind. A chance to get back at the Weasley twins had just made itself known to her. She grabbed a bottle of glue off the mantle and walked into the first year boys' dormitory. Fred and George had left their ties in their room and Nim walked over to them and put glue all over the parts where they would be putting them on. She knew that they hated to wear their ties and only wore them when Professor McGonagall made them do it. She then put a concealment charm on the glue in the ties so the boys wouldn't notice until they tried to take them off.
Laughing to herself about what she had done, she walked into her room and laid down for a nap. Nim slept through most of the rest of the day and through dinner, so Katie and Angelina were worried. The two girls ran up to the room and laughed their worry away when they saw Nim who was obviously sleeping peacefully.
