Chapter 7
Dark past.
The following day Jen told Zoe what Zac had said.
"That's horrible. Wait till I tell Aunt what he said. He'd be in so much trouble. She might even send him a howler."
"I hope he doesn't get a howler. I don't want Ada to know. She will be so upset."
"I'm still writing to mum about what he has said. It was a horrible thing to say."
Jen nodded and got out of bed. "I'm going to breakfast. I'm hungry."
"You're not hungry you're greedy."
"Hey"
Jen and Zoe went to the great hall and found Ada sitting with Ashleigh Rowle.
"Hi Ada!" Said Zoe sitting down next to Ashleigh.
"Hi." Said Ada. "Did I ever introduce you two to Ashleigh?"
"No" said Jen "Well hi Ashleigh. I'm Jenipher but everyone calls me Jen. This is Zohenna."
"Zoe for short" Zoe said.
"Nice to meet you two." Said Ashleigh shaking Zoe and Jen's hands.
"Ada what you doing?" Asked Jen looking at the parchment that was scattered in front of Ada.
"Just drawing. Oh hi!"
Everyone turned to see Zac walking up to them.
"Hey Jen." Jen stood up and glared at Zac. "I-I wanted to... Umm... Well apologize about last night. What I said what horrible. I was an idiot."
"And you still are an idiot. You say something horrible and the expect me to forgive you."
"Well yeah."
Jen slapped Zac across the face and sat down again. Everyone stared at her with their mouth hanging open.
"That was the best thing that I have ever seen." Said Ashleigh.
"That reminds me." Said Zoe taking a piece of parchment from the pile in front of Ada and started to write.

On Halloween morning Jen and Ada woke Zoe up by jumping on her bed.
"Ohhh! Happy Hogwarts birthday Magic wizard birthday Fun, wizard, happy birthday Fun, fun, fun, fun Magic flavored birthday cake Wizard wishes you will make Happy birthday, dance with everyone" sang Ada and Jen.
"I'm awake!" Announced Zoe "Ada how did you get in here!"
"Jen let me in. Anyway, Happy birthday. Open your present. I want to see your reaction!"
Zoe got up and grabbed the present that Ada was pushing towards her. She unwrapped it to find about 200 chocolate frogs.
"How did you get all these? There's loads!"
Zo,
Tell Jen I'm sorry for what I said and please stop ignoring me. I didn't know what I was saying
- Zac
"Who is it from?" Asked Ada.
"Zac. Jen, he says he is sorry."
Jen gave a nod and Ada looked confused. "Sorry about what?".
"It's nothing" said Jen shaking her head. "Open the other!"
Zoe picked up the other present and opened it. There was a book, a chess set and a letter. Zoe grabbed the letter and read it.
Hello Zohenna. Happy birthday! Hope you have a brilliant day. Enjoy yourselves. I have sent a howler to Zac. He did a horrible thing.
Auntie Alice.
Zoe picked up the book. "Tales of beadle and the bard."
"Who is it from?" Asked Ada.
"Why are you so nosy Ada." Zoe joked "My Auntie."
"Hasn't your mum and dad sent you anything?" Asked Jen.
"Dad's in Azkaban. Mum's dead." Said Zoe casually while flicking through the pages of Beadle and the bard."
"What happened?" Asked Ada.
"Huh?" Asked Zoe. She wasn't paying attention to what she was saying. "Oh yeah that. Dad was put in Azkaban for killing a werewolf when I was five and Mum committed suicide due to stress about dad being in Azkaban and other things. I was seven."
"That's horrible." Said Jen
"Yeah. Let's get some breakfast. I'm hungry." Said Zoe.
They all agreed and walked to the great hall.
Zoe sat down and pilled bacon on her plate. Jen did some of her homework while Ada just sat there. She couldn't eat after what she just heard. Zoe just talked about it as if it was nothing. She should be in Gryffindor.
"Mail!" Shouted a bot from the Ravenclaw table.
Zoe looked up. She could see Allie, her family owl. Allie was carrying a red envelope.
