Later that day at supper Albus was sitting next to his good friend Edward Pellomn, a short chubby boy with short dirty blond hair and jolival light brown eye's. "Was Professor Binns saying anything important or was it just more goblin rebelions?" He asked as he spooned some shepherds pie onto his plate.

                "Just the usual. Today was all about Graflat the Foul's uprising in 1617, and how he was unusually cunning and considered to be the most brilliant goblin tactician ever. I think you were still aware, when he was talking about the Bulltooth the Bloody." Edward continued on for awhile, but Albus was only partially aware of what he was saying as they were eating. He was to busy staring at a pretty 6th year Ravenclaw, Zerea Anner had shimmery white blond hair that went down to the small of her back, and blue green eye's that could stop most males in their tracks and had sent Albus walking into door frames on many occasions.

                Realizing that Albus's attention was elsewhere Edward poked him in the side to bring him back to the real world. "Your minds drifting more and more my friend. Why don't you just go talk to her?" Edward had been friends with Albus his whole life and knew him better than anyone but it didn't take that kind of knowledge to know what was distracting his friend.

                Albus looked down to the table and over to his friend, "I don't know. I've tried, I just can't seem to get anything out when I'm around her."

                "This just isn't like you Albus. I don't know what to say. But if you don't ask her to meet you in Hogsmeade next weekend I'll ask her for you." He was very serious about his threat.
