"Uh-I need to go to the washroom. Yoyo-will you accompany me?" Chal tugged on her arm, and Yoyo unwillingly got up, a look of dread on her face.

"I'll see you guys at the game!" Chalondra called, dragging her friend out the door.

"Yoyo! What's up?" Chal asked, whispering closely to her mute friend. "You just went quiet-that's weird!"

Yoyo stiffened. "Well-Chal-You see-"Yoyo blushed. "I kind of like Kadric."

Everything stopped.

"You-like-what?" Chal yelled. Yoyo looked at Chalondra, horrified.

"Keep your voice down!" She cried. "Well, yes," Yoyo continued in a whisper. "He's just so cute! And maybe he only teases us because he likes us."

Chalondra laughed hard. "Boy, he must be infatuated with me then." She hitched her book bag higher onto her shoulder.
"I don't know how you can possibly like a Slytherin. They're slimy, loathsome gits who end up working for You-Know-Who anyway."

Yoyo glared at her. "Just wait until the game, and you'll see how good of a Quidditch player he is!" She said shrilly.

"You think that MATTERS, Yoyo?" Chalondra cried back, forgetting about the rare person walking around. "Do you think it really makes him a better person because he's GOOD at something? Good at a SPORT, for Gods sake's!" Chalondra stamped her foot in anger. "I have homework to do now-I actually care about something important-rather then a slimy Slytherin."

Chalondra stormed off, leaving her friend standing there, stunned.

"I told you because I thought you'd understand!" Yoyo called after her, fury shaking her voice.

"Well, you should have been expecting this!" Chal called back. "I have a grudge against him that'll never go away!" She continued walking angrily, but ran into something solid before she could slam a door or something along those lines.

"A grudge, eh? You wouldn't be talking about me, would you?" Chal moaned and pushed herself away from the boy.
"Look, Kadric, the last thing I'd be talking about is you." She snarled. Kadric just laughed.

"Oh-I'm sorry Mudblood. Didn't mean to puncture your holier-then-thou self-image."

Wrong thing to say, buddy. I'm in an angry mood, and you just called me a Mudblood and teased me about my brains. You're gonna get it.

"Watch it, git, you're walking on a thin line there!" Chal cried. "I'm incredibly frustrated at the moment, I have a test to study for, and you just cursed at me with the name of Mudblood, and decided to tease me about my brains?" She glared up at him. "YOU'RE the only one who thinks you're better then everyone else, bastard!"

Kadric frowned slightly. Chal breathed heavily, knowing it was rare for her to break out in an outburst.

"And now you're going to pay." Quick as lightning she pulled out her wand and shot a curse at Kadric.

"Desembium!" She cried, a yellow jet of light hitting Kadric squarely in the stomach.

"CHALONDRA!" She heard Yoyo scream.

"That's for bugging me." Chal growled, glowering down on the crumpled figure of Kadric. With that she turned swiftly around and headed for the Ravenclaw Tower.
