The great hall was the usual hustle and bustle it always was. Despite different personality traits, all four houses were seemingly the same. They all laughed and joked and threw bits of food around, read their morning mail, and sulked by themselves. It was hard to believe a Gryffindor was so different from a Hufflepuff, and that a Ravenclaw and a Slytherin were separated completely.

This was a sight that Adell had been able to see from the start. She just didn't understand why no one else saw it. We were the same. Everyone was to busy to notice the similarities. Maybe it was because Adell was always detached in what happened around her that she was able to see this. Take a step back and see the whole canvas. But she was just an onlooker, not the artist. She never tried to change what she saw.

But now she was ready to be a part of the masterpiece.

Taking her seat at the Slytherin table, she took a plate, reached for the eggs, and filled a glass full of orange juice. The people seated around her continued their conversations around her, but Adell felt like she was involved. She listened closely to two Slytherin girls telling another one what ahd happened in potions yesterday.

"And he started to make this horrid face, like... like..."

"like a constipated APE!"

"yes, yes, exactly! And he jumped on his desk and steam blew out of his ears!"

"No!"

"Of course, Professor Slughorn tried to get him under control again,"

"but every time he tried,"

"Desmond hopped like three feet in air!"

"Eventualy Slughorn just had to sedate him."

"And all this was from a wronged cheering potion?"

Adell was so engrossed by the girls conversation, that she didn't notice a big-headed Gryffindor sneaking up behind her. Of course, no one did, seeing as he was under his invisibility cloak, and was being eerily quiet. James muttered an ill-gotten spell, pointing his wand at Adells backside, and took a few steps back.

A very unladylike fart echoed through the great hall. Everyone within a ten yard radius of Adell turned to look at her with disgusted faces. They scoffed and scooted as far away as her as possible. James sneered.

"That's disgusting Adell!"

"didn't your parents teach you any manners?"

"SO gross!" the girls remarked from farther down the table.

James expected Adell to be horribly embarrassed, but she just looked at either side of herself. An took a large fork full of eggs and carried it to her mouth. Chewing thoughtfuly, she wondered how something like this could have happened. She didn't dwell on it though. She just finished her breakfast and moseyed out of the greathall. Taking one last glance at the noisy students eating their meal, she turned and left.

James was fuming. He ducked behind a tapastry to remove his cloak and stormed over to the Gryffindor table. Ploping next to his best friends he grabbed a piece of tost of Remus' plate and toar a large chunk out of it. Remus just sighed and grabbed another.

"How'd it go?" asked Sirius unnecessarily.

"How did it go? It was bloody aweful! I used out best Gas Passer hex on her!" He hissed

"Did it work?"

"what do you bloody well think! Everyone around her was disgusted, but she ehardly batted an eyelash! I was hoping that she would at least deny it was her!" James continued. Sirius understandingly patted Prongs' back.

"Rough bit o' luck there mate."

"Maybe we should just quit?" a small voice asked. They turned to look at Wormtail who blushed.

"You crazy?"

"What the bloody hell are you talking about?!" Asked an angry Padfoot and Prongs.

"Just...just asking." said Peter nervously.

"The fun is just starting!" And they all started to plot ther next move. Well, minus Remus anyhow.
