Chapter 6
The argument
Halloween was coming up and everyone was looking forward to the Halloween feast. It was the night of October 29th.
Ada, Zac, Zoe and Jen were sat by the lake. Zoe kept flicking grapes into the lake just to see them be taken by a massive tentacle. Ada watched and Zac and Jen were finishing their homework.
"It's twenty to nine! I'm going to get to bed." Announced Ada. Ada got up and put her stuff into her bag. "You coming Zo?"
Zoe nodded and walked up to the castle with Ada.
That left Jen and Zac by the lake doing their homework. After ten minutes of silence Zac spoke.
"Hey Jen?"
"Yea."
"You know Ada."
"Yeas I know her because she kinda just left right now."
"Well you see. I've been thinking."
Jen forgot what she was writing because of Zac. This made her angry. She isn't very good at controlling her anger. She tries but she can't control it. "Bet that was hard." Jen spat.
"Hey what was that for? Anyway, she's a Slytherin and we are in Hufflepuff. Not the best combination."
"No."
"What?"
"I said no!" Jen was on her feet and had her voice raised now. "You, Zoe and Ada are my best friends! Well you were. I'm not hating Ada just because she is in Slytherin. What kind of Hufflepuff are you!"
Jen picked up her potions book and parchment. Then she ran off towards the castle. She met Professor Longbottom.
"What are you doing out after Curfew?"
"Sorry I was just going to my common room now."
"Okay. I will let you off this time miss Cost. One point from Hufflepuff."
Jen ran to her common room and to her dorm.
"Hi Zoe"
"Hi Jen. By the way. I never asked. When's your birthday?"
"25th December."
"On Christmas! I feel sorry for you!"
"When's yours?"
"31st October."
"Woah. You're like a Frankenstein baby."
"When's Ada's?"
"19th of February. Only one with a normal birthday. I'm sleepy. Night, Zoe."
"Night, Jen."
