"Annie, just ignore them. They're just jerks." Armella said aloud to her best friend, Annie.

"Jerks, huh? If I recall, you were the one threatening to punch me in the face on the first actual day you were here." Cheyenne Delores said in her usual snobbish tone of voice.

"Yeah, and I'm not afraid to go back on that. So I think that you need to just leave my friend alone, and go back to making out with your girl friends." Armella said, getting up in her face. "You are disgusting!" Cheyenne replied to Armella, scooting away.

"Am I really? Well, anything to get you to leave me and Annie alone." Armella said, just as snotty as Cheyenne always talked. "I think that you need to get a life." Cheyenne said, turning to leave. "Hey Cheyenne?" Armella said, a grin on her face. "What?" Cheyenne snapped at Armella. "This." Armella said, then swung her fist forward as fast as she can. It collided with Cheyenne's face, and it sounded like it hurt.

"Oh my god!" Annie said, trying not to laugh. "What? The little tramp only got what she deserved." Armella said, turning towards Annie. Cheyenne covered her face, then ran out of the room at very fast speeds.

"Time to eat some lunch!" Armella said, sitting down and grabbing a sandwich. "So, what class do we have next?" Armella asked Annie, who was still trying to contain her laughter. "We go to Care of Magical Creatures." Annie said after taking a drink of her milk. "Cool. I like Hagrid. He's cool. "Yeah, he's pretty cool." Annie said

"Hey, when do we start Hogsmead?" Armella asked through her bites. "Actually, if today's Friday, then we get to go tomorrow." Annie said while thinking. "Cool! I really like this school. We never got trips at Estromia. I really miss my friends though." Armella said.

"You went to Estromia?" Annie asked, excitedly. "Yeah.why?" Armella asked, sounding a bit freaked. "Well, You're going to get to see your friends again!" Annie said, picking up an apple and taking a bite.

"Come again?" Armella said, a very confused look on her face. "Well, Estromia's fifth years are apparating now. According to McGonagal, they've pretty much mastered it. And since they were able to do that, they are going to apparate to Hogsmead, and on the same days as us!" Annie said, even more excited. Armella's face lit up suddenly.

"I'll be right back." She told Annie, getting up out of her seat.

Armella rushed over towards the Slytherin table where Ryo was eating lunch. Questions ran through her mind.

"Ryo! I need to talk to you." Armella said, frantically. Ryo must have been in a particularly good mood that day, because she replied, "Okay, just a second," While still smiling. She got up and walked over to where Armella was standing.

"What's up?" Ryo said with a smile on her face. "Well, have you sent an owl to Kyle yet?" Armella asked, panicking. "No, Dad hasn't sent my address book to me yet.why?" "Well, Estromia is going to be apparating to Hogsmead! Apparently, they've mastered it, and they are going to apparate.the fifth years are going to be coming over the same days as us." Armella said, frantically.

"WHAT?" Ryo said, panicking. "Yeah." Armella said, her breathing slowing down. "Oh my god. Well, thank you." Ryo said, breathless. "No problem." Armella said, then headed back over to the Hufflepuff table.

"What was that all about?" Annie asked as Armella returned to the table. "I had to let Ryo know about the Hogsmead thing." Armella said, taking a drink and catching her breath. "Really? No offense, but I think that your sister seems kind of.evil." Annie said, looking almost disgusted.

"Oh, she can be. But it's not the way she usually is. She is really a nice person once you get to know her. She just has to trust you." Armella told Annie, sincerely. "Okay.I guess I don't just know her too well then." Annie said, sounding almost sorry that she had brought it up.

Armella hadn't told her that in a mean way or anything, Annie just didn't like it when people disagreed with her.

"Well, I'm ready to head out to class. Are you coming?" Annie said, eager to change the subject.

"Yeah, You can go ahead. I'll be out in a little while." Armella said with a wave of her hand. "Oh.okay." Annie said, sounding almost sad.

Armella must have heard the sadness in her voice because she stopped her and said, "Hey Annie. Don't worry. I'm not mad at you because you said my sister was evil. People have said worse things about her, and I never got mad. So you don't have to worry about it." Armella said, sincerely. Annie smiled and headed out towards Hagrid's hut for Care of Magical Creatures.
