Chapter 31: Intervals

Within the duration of a week, Henry became a part of their group. He explained that he was from an old wizarding family in Germany that had taken refuge in England because of the war. He ever the gentleman, always being chivalrous to the ladies, and helping everyone he can to the best of his abilities. Even Isabella was impressed and she urged Cecil to "learn a bit of something" from him.

Harry for the most part, was unused to the extra assistance, but welcomed the change. It was nice to have someone help on things like homework. Isabella and Cecil studied with them as a group, but the two ended up arguing more than studying. Sometimes Harry questioned why they were in Ravenclaw in the first place.

At night, she often met with Tom. He was abnormally interested in the Dark Arts. Harry was worried at first, but the two mostly discussed theories rather than actually practicing the spells, so Harry assured herself that it shouldn't be too dangerous. With practice, both of them had become excellent duelers compared to their peers. Although Tom unreservedly displayed his skills, Harry behaved like an average dueler during class. Unlike Tom, she didn't like the attention, but she admired him for his confidence. And so the month passed into October, when Tom proposed for them to sneak out on Hogsmeade Weekend.
