Jane sat down at the Hufflepuff, and started eating breakfast, on Halloween.
"I have some great news to announce," Professor Dumbledor said. "The Dementors found the escape prisoners, and they all went back to Azkaban."
Cheers and clapping rang out, in the great hall.
This hurt Jane's ears, and she quickly put her earplugs in, but she smiled. Avoiding the dementors had not been as difficult as she expected, but it was still a huge relief that they were gone.
Once she was able to get away, Jane washed the disgusting feeling stuff off of her face. She made a mental note that the next time some girls wanted to give her a makeover, she would say no. Still, she had appreciated the fact that they were being friendly with her.
She took her swing, and then went and set it up on a tree on the grounds. She swung until she saw Neville and Hermione approaching. Apparently, it was already late enough for students to be back from Hogsmede, where she would not be allowed to go until next year.
Jane jumped off her swing and ran up to them. "Hey," she greeted. "How was Hogsmede?"
"Pretty cool," Neville said. "I brought you back some sweets from Honeydukes."
Jane smiled, wide. "Thanks, Neville!"
