When we went down to the Great Hall for dinner the first thing I saw was a group of Slytherins all huddled together. No doubt making up a tall tale of how Malfoy had been injured.

"Idoits," I muttered, brushing my blonde bangs from my eyes.

"Too true," replied Rachel looking over at the group.

Since we were some of the first few people in the hall for dinner we all sat three on each side, Harry, Ron and Hermione; with me, Rachel, and Amanda on the other side. (I know thats bad grammar but its like the order. So I'm across from Harry, Rachel to Ron and Hermion and Amanda. No Rachel is with Malfoy.)

Though right when I sat down my still wet clothes chilled my skin and I jumped up.

"Hehe. Forgot to change my clothes," I said rubbing the back of my head.

"You are the weirdest person I know," commented Rachel.

"Thank you!" I replied smiling.

From the direction of the Slytherin table I overheard them say something, "Ravaging beast." My face twisted.

"Remind me to always desipise Slytherins," I said.

"You hate Slytherins," said Amanda with a cocky smile.

I laughed, "That'll work."

During dinner we talked about classes from today and about what maight be the effect of the inciddent.

"Do you guys think they would actually fire Hagrid?" asked Hermione.

"No," I said, "it's Malfoy's own fault that he choose to ignore the warning and went ahead and insulted Buckbeak. So it's his fault, not Hagrid's."

"You scare me Anita," said Rachel.

"Why?"

"Well its like one minute your being a total idiot and the next your the smartest person around," she explained, pouring herself some pumpkin juice.

"That's Anita for yah," said Amanda.

I picked up a piece of bacon and nibbled on it, "Yes it is! Me and my nutty self."

Everyone laughed and We talked about going to go talk to Hagrid after dinner till Rachel looked at the teachers table.

"He's not up there," she said.

Ron looked up at Hagrid's empty chair, "Then we could go down to his cabin."

"Good idea," replied Harry.

"But don't you think it's unsafe for you to be out at night?" Hermione directed her question at Harry.

"O well," he said in reply.

"Huh?" asked Amanda.

The three looked at us and Hermione covered her mouth, like she had said something bad.

(We know about this. It's just we have to pretend to not know. Get it?)

They all kinda huddled together and whispered, which of course we didn't hear.

"Well, what now?" Amanda whispered.

"No idea," replied Rachel.

"Ditto," I said chiming in.

A cough brought me out of our little group and I looked at the three across from us. Hermione looked around to make sure no one was around when she began to tell us the whole story of Harry and Voldemort, to Sirius Black. At the end I dropped my jaw to add in some realism that I didn't know.

"Wowzers," I said.

"Ditto," said the other two.

After finishing our dinners we headed back up to the common room and got to work on the assignment we had gotten from Professor McGonagall. Only I dropped off my stuff and went up to the dormitories to change out of my wet clothes. I put on a black tank top and silk, navy blue, baggy pajama pants before heading back down the stairs to join the others.

"Ok then. Now to get to work on that homework," I said pulling out my Transfigurations Grade 3 and turned the pages.

"What about going to Hagrid's? Your actually going to wear that?" asked Ron.

"Yea... so?" I asked, peeking over the top of the book.

"It gets kinda cold at night," he replied.

I stared at him, "Your point is?"

"Nevermind then," he said shrugging.

"K then," I said and began to work on the assignment.

After a while of working in silence Harry looked out the window, "There's a light on in Hagrid's window."

Ron looked down at his watch, "If we hurry we could go down there and see him, It's still early..."

"Then I say we go!" said Rachel shutting her book.

"I vote that!" I said putting my paper in my book for a bookmark.

"I don't know," said Hermione looking at Harry.

"I'm allowed to walk across the grounds," Harry retorted, "Sirius Black hasn't gotten past the dementors yet, had he?"

So we all headed out the portrait hole and down to the front doors. Good thing was we didn't run into anybody on our way down and we soon were out on the grounds. When my bare feet touched the cold grass I nearly jumped.

"The grass is wet!" I exclaimed, "and cold!"

"Well maybe you should have worn shoes," suggested Rachel.

"Maybe, but I didn't feel like it," I said putting on a funny smile.

We made our way across the wet slopes, with a few random comments for moi. When we go to Hagrid's hut Hermione knocked on the door.

"C'min," said Hagrid's voice from inside.

When Amanda opened the door we walked into the threashold and I notcied he had a huge, and I mean HUGE tankard. The warm fire in the fireplace though was welcoming.

'Great leapin lizards! Holy shit thats one bigass jug!'

"'Spect it's a record," said the hazy Hagrid, "Don' reckon they've ever had a teacher who only lasted on'y a day before."

"You haven't been fired!" exclaimed Hermione.

"Not yet," Hagrid took a swig of the contents in the large jug, "Not yet," he said sadly, "But 's only a matter o' time i'n't it, after Malfoy..."

"How is he?" asked Ron as we all took a seat around the table, "It wasn't serious was it?"

"Madame Pomfrey fixed him as best as she could, but he's sayin' it's still agony... covered in bandages... moanin'..."

"Bullshit!" exclaimed Amanda, Rachel, and myself at the same time.

"Thats just bullshit!" I added.

"He's faking it," Harry said at once, "Madame Pomfrey can mend anything. She regrew half my bones last yeat. Trust Malfoy to milk it for all it's worth."

"School gov'nors have bin told, o' course," Hagird said gloomy, "They reckon I started too big. Shoulda left hippogriffs fer later... done flobberworms or summat... Jus' thought it'd make a good firs' lesson... 'S all my fault..."

"It's all Malfoy's fault, Hagrid!" Hermione told him.

"We're witnesses," said Harry, "You said hippogriffs attack if you insult them. It's Malfoy's problem that he wasn't listening. We'll tell Dumbledore what really happened."

"Yeah! Don't worry, Hagrid, we'll back you up," added Ron.

"Screw what anyone else says Hagrid! You didn't do anything!" exclaimed Rachel.

"Ditto!" said Amanda and I.

When Hagrid looked up he had tears in his eyes and he pulled everyone into a bone crushing hug. Execpt me. I don't do hugs so I stepped bac.

"I think you've had enough to drink, Hagrid," said Hermione, she promptly picked up the tankard and headed out the door to go empty the contents in the jug.

"Ar, maybe she's right," said Hagrid, letting go of Harry, Ron, Rachel, and Amanda. They all stepped back and rubbed their sore ribs. Hargrid then rose from his chair and headed out the door. Soon after we heard a loud splash.

"What's he doing?" asked Ron as Hermione came back inside with the now empty tankard.

"Stuck his head in the water barrel," Hermione answered simply as she put the large jug away.

When Hagrid came back his long scraggly hair was wet and he shook his head like a dog.

"Tha's better," he said, "Listen, it was good of yeh ter come an' see me, I really---"

Hagrid stopped dead in his tracks as he looked around the group and seeming just realized that Harry was among us.

"WHAT D'YEH THINK YOU'RE DOIN', EH?" he roared, I scared the bajebers outta me and, but everyone else nearly jumped a foot, which did look kinda funny.

"YEH'RE NOT TO GO WANDERIN' AROUND AFTER DARK, HARRY! AN' YOU FIVE! LETTIN' HIM!"

Hagrid went right over to Harry and grabbed him by the arm, and pulled him to the door.

The anger that flashed in Hagrid's eyes nearly scared the crap outta me, "C'mon! I'm takin' yer all back up ter the school an' don' let me catch yeh walkin' down ter see me after dark again. I'm not worth that!"

Hagrid started to stride to the door, pulling poor Harry along with him. Harry had to run to be kept from being dragged by our gaint friend. We all ran alittle bit behind up the wet grassy slopes. On the way up one hill I tripped on a non-existant root and fell.

"Umf! Well, that wasn't all too bright of me," I muttered and got back up, running to catch up to the others.

When we reached the Entrance to the school Hagrid released Hagrid and turned to us, "Now I don' want ter see yer guys around here after dark okay?"

We all nodded our head timidly and held our breaths as Hagrid then walked back to his cabin.

"So much for that," said Amanda yawning, "I saw we head back up and finish our homework, then hit the hay."

"I agree," said Ron and we all made our way back up to the Gryffindor common room.

Only thing was once we got inside the doorway I slipped on my slipppery feet and fell, again.

"Goshness! What's with me today with tripping?" I asked no one. Only to get a reply from Hermione, "How would we know?"

"How should I know if you know if I don't know that I don't know?" I said back with a stupid smile on my face.

"Ok then. Let's not and say we did," Rachel said and we made our way back to the common room. This time without tripping, or at least I thought so.

"Fortuna Major," said Harry as we go to the portrait of the fat lady.

She swung open silently and we stepped back into the warm common room. Only thing was, when we go inside the common room, Rachel tripped on a non-existant raised piece of tile and fell to the floor.

When she got off the floor I began to laugh, she then pushed me and I fell backwards, right over the couch.

"Ow!" I exclaimed as I hit my head on the floor.

I heard everyone laughing and I palyfully glared at them. "That hurt yah know!"

"We know," said Ron.

"But your face was priceless!" Amanda said and broke into another fit of laughter.

"Meanie!"

This only made them laugh louder and I shrugged, "O well."

After pulling myself from the floor I went back over to the table and began to work. Everyone else soon came over and it was quite. Something I don't like.

"I'll be back," I said and got up from the table.

I had to be careful when going up the stairs to ba as quiet as possible, seeing as everyone should be in bed now. When I got to the door to my dormitiory I carefully opened the wood door, careful to make as less noise as possible.

Inside the room was pretty dark, but moonlight came in through the window and gave off a bluish glow to everything.

Meow!

I nearly yelped as a furry fuzzball rubbed against my leg and nearly scared me. I looked down to see two green eyes staring back at me.

"Salut, Tiddly," I whispered and gently picked up the feather light kitten.

Being carefull not to trip on anyone's things I crept over to the end of my bed and knelt before my trunk. As quietly as I could I undid latch number one.

Click!

'Good gravy this thing is not made for sneaking up late at night for.'

Click went the other latch and I pushed up the top. After rummaging around a bit I found was I was looking for. Holding the object under my arm I closed the lid and got up.

I went stealthly out the door and gently closed the door, Tiddlywinks right by my leg.

When I got to the bottom of the stairs I hopped on over to the table where everyone was working and but my item on the table.

"Mission accomplished!" I exclaimed.

"What the... what is that?" asked Ron.

"It's called an Ipod, plus I got the stereo thingy mabob," I said.

Hermione looked confused, "But I thought electronics didn't work inside of Hogwarts?"

"We'll just see about that," said Rachel.

I pushed the on button and I came to life.

"Yay!" I said gleefully. "Now what to listen too..."

"O! Linkin Park! In the End!" exclaimed Rachel.

I nodded and looked through my library of music. Soon enough, In the End was playing loud enough for everyone around the table to hear.

"Now to get working on this homework." I opened my book to where I left off and continued to write my paper, slowly, but getting there all the same.

"You're still working Anita?" I looked up to see everyone else done.

"Um... yeah. I write slower than all you guys," I said putting on a goofy smile.

I turned back to my paper and worked until I was finally finished.

"Done!" I said shutting my book.

"Ok then, I say its time for bed," Amanda said after looking at her watch.

"Ok. Night Harry, Night Ron."

Everyone said their respective good nights and we girls headed up the stairs to the dormitories.

When everyone got into bed I was about to close my eyes when Rachel shown a light in my eyes.

"Ah! My eyes!" I whispered, dots flashing in my vision.

"Girl talk," announced Amanda.

"About what?" asked Hermione.

"Boys!" exclaimed Amanda in a whisper.

"What?" I asked.

"O come on Anita, we know something happened on Buckbeak today. Your face was all red when you got off." accused Rachel.

"Nothing!" I said putting my hands up in defense.

"Spill!" said Hermione.

I shrugged, "What if I don't want to?"

Amanda cracked her knuckles, "Then we will do this the hard way, and I can't garrentee your satfy."

"Ok ok. first of all he said that he could show me how to ride a broom sometime," I said earnestly.

"And?" pressed Hermione.

"When I fell in he caught my hand," I finished, feeling the heat in my cheeks rising.

"Well then, so you do like him?" questioned Amanda.

I stared at her, unable to come back with anything.

"So you do!" said Rachel.

"And? You like Malfoy. Don't think I didn't see that look you gave him at breakfast, or the looking you guys shared during Care of Magical Creature," I retorted.

"So thats what it was!" said Hermione, clapping her hands slightly.

Something hit my face and I fell off the bad. When I sat up I looked at the object that was hurled at me, a pillow.

"Your going to get it now!" I said and threw my own pillow at Rachel. Only thing was it hit Amanda and she came back by attempting to throw one at me. Only it missed and hit Hermione.

Soon enough we were all in a free for all pillow fight. Then when a book hit Lavander, her and Parvati both joined in our little battle. All untill three in the morning we were up all night, bouncing around and throw random objects. I think once I saw Tiddlywinks, but I couldn't be sure as the barage of object continued!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anita: Sorry if this one is kinda short. I didn't mean for it to be long anyway.

Rachel: So did you finally figure out who Amanda will be with?

Anita: Yippers! Oliver Wood is the luck guy.

Amanda: Yay!

Anita: Yes! Please review if you will.
