It was late October, almost Halloween. Everyone was excited about it. Riley's hair had changed to a darker brown. Terri's hair had grown down tothe bottom of her of her back, and it was more of a starchy brown now. Somebig news was they had made a new friend. Mandy from Hufflepuff, was now partof there group. Micky was from Australlia, and she had black, shoulder length hair.
"So, how did you guys sleep?" Harry asked the girls, walking down to theGreat Hall.
"Pretty good, except for Riley's snoring," Terri said laughing.
"Hey, I don't snore!" Riley exclaimed. Everyone laughed, but Riley kepton yelling. "Stupid gits," she muttered under her breath.
"What did you say?" Micky said, looking over at Riley.
"Uh, no..." Riley said nervously. "I'm going to go down to the locker rooms, you guys coming?"
"Yea, let's go. Ron, you coming?" Harry asked. Ron nodded, and followed them to the locker rooms. Ron had been quiet ever since the little incident. He hadn't talked to Riley in two months.
"Hey Harry, can I talk to you for a minuet?" Riley asked.
"Sure, what's up?" Harry asked.
"Is Ron really mad at me? He hasen't talked to me in like two months,"Riley said opening her locker.
"No, he is just embarassed. You know. About what happened in DADA," Harrysaid, walking towards the boys locker room.
"Tell him, that it was sweet of him, I understand. I just want him to talkto me again," Riley yelled back to Harry, grabbing her uniform and throwing it on. She grabbed her beater's bat and broom, and waited in the starting stalls. They were playing Hufflepuff, and Mandy was on that team. She was their new seeker.
"Ready team?" Harry said standing up at the front. They all yelled inreply. "Than lets go!" They all flew out of the gate, and flew around the
field.
"Teams ready?" Madam Houch said, and blew her whistle. She dropped the quaffle and they were all off. Terri flew past the Hufflepuff chasers and scored easily. Harry sat in the sky watching her. Than he started looking around for the snitch. Riley flew infront of Ron and hit a bludger away from him. The game went on this way for awhile, until Harry noticed the snitch flying an inch above Terri's head. He dove down and snatched it. The game was over, Gryffindor won.
"Heya Terri," Harry said his hand inched from her face, and the snitch still trying to get free.
"Hey, nice catch," Terri said, moving up to Harry's level.
"Thanks," Harry said blushing.

They all walked towards the castle, after showering and changing ofcourse.There was a rustle of leaves behind them. Riley turned and looked. There was Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle, each of them carrying a beater's bat. Malfoy was sneaking up behind Ron, about to hit him. He swung, but Riley threw her arm in front of his blow. "Ow!" she yelled holding her arm, with the other.
"Riley, are you ok?" Ron asked turning around and looking at Malfoy and Riley. "Malfoy, get out of here now! Riley are you okay?" Ron asked, throwing a dirty look at the now fleeing Malfoy.

"Here let me see."
"Are you okay Riley?" Mickey and Terri and worriedly. Ron held Riley's arm. He was trying not to straitening it.
"How does it feel?" Harry asked looking over the girls heads. "You should get to the hospital wing, it looks broken."
"Ok, I'll take her," Ron said helping Riley walk towards the castle.

"When will she be out?" Ron asked sitting in a chair next to Riley's bed.
"She'll be out tomorrow, but she'll have the cast for a couple weeks. I can't full mend her bones. They were basically shattered," Madame Pomfrey said tucking Riley into her bed. "It's getting late, I think you should go up to the tower."
"A few more minutes, please," Ron said, looking down at Riley. She had done this for him. If she hadn't... What could have happened? He would have worse than a broken arm.
"Five more minuets," Madame Pomfrey said.
Ron nodded and looked at her. He laid his head on Riley's bed and fell asleep. Madame Pomfrey walked in ready to finally force Ron out, but decided to let him stay.

Riley woke up at the chiming of the school bells. 'Time to get up," she thought. She opened her eyes and looked around. She didn't recongize her surroundings. She tried to stretch out her arm, but winced in pain. Cradeling her arm, she looked down at the bottom of her bed. There was Ron.
'Ron! Why is Ron here?" she thought. Than everything came back to her. 'Stupid Malfoy,' she thought angerily. She looked down and Ron again, he was starting to stir.
Ron opened his eyes. 'Oh shoot, I feel asleep!' Ron thought rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. "Morning Riley," Ron said.
"Good morning Ron," Riley responded.
"How you feeling?"
"Pretty good, I see you stayed here last night."
"Uh, well, I guess I felt responsible for you getting your arm broken." Than Madame Pomfrey walked in. "Good to see your up dear, how is your arm feeling? I wouldn't guess it would. It is basically all shattered," she said moving over to Riley's bed. "Liccotet," she said, and a cast appered around Riley's arm. "What color dear?"
"Red, if you have it," Riley said, and the cast instantly turned red.
"Now you'll have to put your arm in this sling, for maybe three months. That means no quidditch," Madame Pomfrey said, putting a sling around Riley'sshoulder.
"Thanks Madame Pomfrey, can I go to classes today?" Riley asked, adjusting the strap of the sling around her shoulder.
"Only if you're feeling up to it," Madame Pomfrey said.
"Ok, well I'll be going up to the tower. Ron, you coming?" Riley asked, standing up.
"Yea, lets go," Ron said, standing up next to her, and walking out the door. They walked together towards the tower to grab there stuff.
"So, um. I wanted to thank you for what you did, you know with Malfoy," Ron said,
trotting up the stairs.
"Any time, we're friends, right?" Riley said jumping over the trick stair.
"Yea, friends..." Ron said. "Poridge."
"Yes dear," said the Fat Lady portrait, as she swung open.
"Well, I'm going to go change and grab my stuff," Riley said walking towards the girl's dorms. "See you later!"
"Riley! How are you?" Terri exclaimed jumping over her bed to her best friend.
"I'm fine, my arm's just broken. It's fine, calm down Terri!" Riley said, trying to stop Terri from having a cow. "Calm, yes, good job Terri. Now
deep breathes. In and out."
"Ok, I have to go, but I'll meet you in the great hall in a few," Terri said, picking up her bag.
"Meet you down there," Riley said grabbing some new robes out of her trunk. She changed quickly and picked up her bag. Than she ran down the stairs to the common room.
"Hey Riley, how is your arm?" Harry asked, running over to her.
"It's just broken. Madame Pomfrey said that the bones were shattered," Riley said walking towards the Great Hall.
"Bloody Malfoy, he should be thrown out of school for this," Harry replied.
"It's not that bad, I'll take care of him later. Of course with your guys help," Riley said, with a smirk. She scooped some eggs on to her plate, and looked around. She made eye contact with Malfoy. He gave her a wink, and she scowled. 'The nerve of him! He just broke my arm, and he's winking at me!?' she thought, clenching her fists.
"What's up Riley?" Terri asked, looking at her friend with concern. Everyone looked at her, making sure she was alright.
"I'm fine guys! You know what, I hate when people ask me that," Riley said.
"See you guys later." Riley walked out of the Great Hall, and started to walk towards the lake. She craddled her arm gently, walking out to her usual spot.
"Hello there peg-leg," said Micky, in her usual tone.
"I broke my arm stupid," Riley said, "I'm really not in the mood for talking right now."
"Oh come on Ri, lighten up!" Micky exclaimed, twirling her hair around her finger.
"Really not in the mood Mick! I just got my arm broken by some freak, and everyone keeps asking me if I'm alright. I hate when people keep asking me that!" Riley exclaimed, throwing her working arm in the air.
"I understand how you feel, I broke my leg when I was eight, and people kept on asking me that. I hated it so much."
"Someone who understands, thank Merlin."
"Anytime buddy. Now lets get inside, it's freezing out here!" Riley nodded and stood up. The two girls walked to the great staircase, and had to depart.
"See you later Micky," Riley said skipping over the trip step.
"Yea, see ya Ri," Micky said walking over to her common room. Riley walked slowly to the tower. She said the password and walked in. The gang was sitting on the couchs near the fire. Harry and Ron were playing Exploding Snaps, Hermione and Terri were talking about current events in the wizarding world. Riley pulled a chair up infront of Ron and Harry's game board and began to play them.
"Hey Ri, was up?" Ron asked, not even looking up from the game.
"Nothing, Ron you really shouldn't move there-" Riley started, but it was too late. Ron had already laid down his piece. Harry flashed an evil smile and moved his piece. It reached the other side of the board, and exploded in Ron's face. "I tried to warn you."
