There rest of the week passed without much incident and Saturday came at
last. At 11:30 Griffin and Maria left for their picnic and Arianna and Bade
disappeared a while later. Harry and Kieran spent the entire day playing
Exploding Snap and chess in which both of them were terribly beaten by Ron.
Around 3:00 Maria came storming into the common room followed closely by Griffin who was covered in what seemed to be salad dressing.
"I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WAS THINKING GRIFFIN," she said turning to face him, her eyes blazing with anger, "I KNEW THAT GOING OUT WITH YOU WOULD BE A MISTAKE!"
"WELL YOU DIDN'T SEEM TO THINK THAT IT WAS A MISTAKE THIS AFTERNOON!" Griffin yelled back wiping the salad dressing out of his eyes.
"YOU KNOW WHAT GRIFFIN JUST SHUT UP!" screamed Maria, "DON'T EVEN TRY TO BLAME THIS ONE ON ME!"
"OH YOU KNOW THAT'S GREAT LET'S BLAME IT ALL ON GRIFFIN! IT'S ALWAYS HIS FAULT RIGHT?"
"THIS TIME IT IS! WE ARE OVER!" shouted Maria as she turned up to the girl's dormitory and slammed the door.
Griffin sulked over to the chair and sat down mumbling to himself.
"Hey . uh . Griff," started Harry nervously, "did something not go right today?"
"What do you think?" snapped Griffin.
"What happened?" asked Kieran.
"Everything was going fine until Amy came over," said Griffin grimly.
"Who's Amy?" asked Kieran going through his mental list of every girl Griffin had ever been with.
"She's my ex-girlfriend remember blonde hair, green eyes," said Griffin.
"Oh yea I remember now," said Kieran, "continue."
"Well she came over and just started talking to me about things we did over the summer."
"You cheated on Maria?" asked Harry surprisingly.
"NO! She was making it all up," Griffin answered. "I think she was trying to break us up which as you can see worked."
"Well it's not like you won't find someone else Griff, you always do," said Kieran.
"That's not it!" said Griffin with his head in his hands. "One I liked Maria , and two she dumped ME! That's not supposed to happen!"
"Don't worry mate," said Kieran clapping him on the back, "it was bound to happen sometime."
"Yea you self centered git," said Harry.
"Well that was a little mean," said Griffin, "here I am broken hearted and you're hurling insults at me."
"Oh shove it, you're not broken hearted," said Harry laughing.
"You're right but I really want to be with Maria."
"Spare the sob story let's just play Exploding Snap," said Kieran.

Professor Severus Snape made his way quickly through the corridors of Hogwarts his cloak billowing out behind him. He was on his way to the headmaster's office after a very interesting 4th year Potions class.
"Enter," called Dumbledore when Snape knocked on the door.
"Ah Severus what can I do for you?" asked Dumbledore placing aside his book.
"Headmaster I was wondering if I could have a word with you about one of the 4th year Gryffindors?" began Snape.
"Of course."
"Now its not uncommon to have accidents happen in the classroom," said Severus obviously annoyed at the incompetence of his students, "During the class Ms. Potter seemed to have blown up her cauldron. But that isn't what worries me. I heard her speak of Lexi Potter afterwards, she said something about Lexi being right."
"Hmm this is interesting news," said Dumbledore thoughtfully.
"Do you think that there is any chance she has inherited her aunt's skills?" "That I do not know," said Dumbledore quietly, "I think I should like to have a chat with Ms. Black and the Potters."
"What if this Potter girl winds up repeating Black's downfall?"
"I doubt that something of that magnitude will happen again. Still I'll send word to the family's so we can clear some things up. If Christiana is an enchantress certain precautions will have to be taken to ensure that the past does not come back to haunt us."
Around 3:00 Maria came storming into the common room followed closely by Griffin who was covered in what seemed to be salad dressing.
