"ELLIE!" Jane shot, causing Ellie to stop zoning out.
"What?" Ellie queried. Jane rolled her eyes.
"I said, how was your holiday?" Jane repeated.
"Oh it was good." Ellie advised.
Jane quickly passed Ellie a muffin.
"It sucks that we have Lockhart's class first thing in the morning." Jane exclaimed. Ellie just nodded.
Just then Brandon ran up to Ellie and Jane.
"There you guys are!" Brandon shot.
"I thought it was obvious considering that we're both sitting here." Ellie spoke.
Brandon rolled his eyes.
"Could you two bring this letter to Clara?" Brandon asked.
"Why can't you do it?" Ellie questioned.
"Just do it for me please." Brandon pleaded.
"Fine." Ellie shot.
Then her and Jane got up and started heading towards the owlery.
"Who's the letter for?" Jane queried, as she started checking to make sure she didn't step in anything on her way up.
"It doesn't say." Ellie replied.
Jane quickly grabbed it.
"There's only one way to find out." Jane spoke.
Ellie quickly snatched the letter from Jane.
"No!" Ellie shot. Jane just rolled her eyes at her.
Ellie looked around and quickly found the beautiful brown owl.
"Clara." Ellie shot, as she found the owl and she pet it and smiled.
"Here, I'm sure you'll know who to send it to." Ellie exclaimed.
The bird quickly chirped and started to fly off.
Ellie looked over at Jane and smiled.
"Ready?" She asked.
"Ready." Jane assured.
As the two girls were about to leave they heard noises.
"George stop stepping on my foot!" A voice that sounded like Lee Jordan yelled.
"It's Fred's fault for being too slow!" George shot.
"Well sorry for not wanting to step in poop!" Fred shot back.
The three boys walked up and stopped in their tracks when they saw the two girls.
"Hi." Lee greeted.
"That was lovely bickering." Jane spoke.
Lee just glared at her.
"Lee, are you going to use Eroll or not?" George asked.
"Yeah one second." Lee groaned and they both started to head towards the owls.
Fred just stared at the girls.
"Hi." He spoke, only looking at Ellie.
"Hey." Ellie replied.
Jane just looked at the small tension between the two.
"Ellie shouldn't we get going?" Jane questioned.
"Oh yeah." Ellie replied.
She smiled at Fred and he smiled back. Just then the two girls left.
"What just happened?" Jane whispered.
"Jane stop being ridiculous." Ellie shot.
Jane just rolled her eyes at Ellie.

ELLIE looked at the O on her paper from Snape who gave her a glare when he handed it to her.
"Good job Ms.Smith." Snape spoke, with his lips curled up.
Ellie just gave him a small smile but quickly rolled her eyes at him as he left.
"How are you so smart?" Jane queried.
Ellie just chuckled.
"Ms. Hankel!" Snape shot, then he gave her back her own paper.
Jane sighed as she looked at it. A for acceptable.
"That's what you get for procrastinating." Ellie sneered.
"Shut it." Jane shot with a smirk.
Ellie just smiled at her.
She quickly saw Micheal Corner look at Jane.
"Hey, how are things going with Micheal?" Ellie asked.
"There good I mean we're friends." Jane exclaimed.
"It seems like you both wouldn't mind being more." Ellie advised.
Jane looked back at Micheal who was talking to a boy named Ernie in Hufflepuff.
"It's like you always say about you and Fred Weasley. You're just friends." Jane shot.
"Yeah but I don't talk to Fred every day. In fact the only time we've talked when coming back from holiday was this morning." Ellie exclaimed.
Jane scoffed.
"Fine! But still I don't like him." Jane whispered.
"Then why are you whispering?" Ellie queried.
"Oh shut it." Jane shot, causing Ellie to smirk.
Ellie just got back to her assignment. She kept on catching Jane stealing glances towards Micheal Corner. Him doing the same.
But as people say. Stolen glances can always turn into something more.

FRED and Lee were walking towards the Great Hall. George was in the library working with someone for a project.
He kept on seeing Lee zone out.
"Lee what is going on with you?" Fred asked.
"What." Lee shot, having a shocked expression on his face.
"You keep on acting so differently around everyone and everything." Fred advised.
"What no I'm not, you're being ridiculous Fred." Lee shot.
Fred just gave him a worried look and frowned.
"Okay. If you say so." Fred replied.
He looked over and saw Ellie talking to Jane. He quickly looked away and looked at Lee.
"You know you can tell me anything right?" Fred assured him.
"Yeah, I know." Lee replied.
"Then why do I feel like you're hiding something?" Fred advised.
"I'm not trust me." Lee assured.
"Okay fine." Fred spoke.
"I have to go. I'll see you later Fred." Lee spoke. Then he started to head the opposite direction and Fred rolled his eyes.
Fred started to walk towards the great hall and then he bumped into someone.
"Ow." Fred groaned, he looked to see who he had bumped into. It was Ellie. "Hey Elle." He greeted.
"Hi." Ellie responded, with a soft smile.
He looked at her for a second. He saw that she looked a bit drained.
"Did you sleep well?" Fred asked.
"No, some girl in my dorm was snoring." Ellie exclaimed.
"George is an awful snorer. I just throw things at him." Fred spoke.
Ellie just gave him a look.
"Or you could always ask your parents to send those ear things muggles use. Ear plumps." Fred exclaimed, with a smile looking proud of himself. Ellie chuckled.
"I think you mean ear plugs." Ellie advised.
"Oh." Fred spoke. With a small blush of embarrassment.
"It's fine. One time I told Daphne about a rubber duck and she said she thought they were outrageous." Ellie spoke.
Fred just smiled at her.
He looked over and saw a boy staring at Ellie. He recognized him but he didn't know from where.
"Who's that?" Fred asked, pointing towards the boy.
Ellie looked back.
"Oh that's Theodore Nott. I met him at a Slytherin party on Christmas Eve." Ellie advised.
Fred looked at him then he smirked for a second.
"It seems like he likes you." Fred teased.
"Don't be ridiculous." Ellie shot.
Fred just smiled at her.
"Ok fine whatever you say." He spoke. Ellie just glared at him. "Oh um sorry." Fred apologized, still with a grin on his face.
"Wow you definitely meant that." Ellie said sarcastically.
Fred just smiled at her.
"It was nice talking to you Elle." Fred exclaimed.
"Same to you." She paused for a second. "Freddie." She teased.
"Hey! Only George calls me that." Fred shot.
"I know. Angelina told me you hate it." Ellie advised. "You also called me pigtails for months." Ellie informed.
Fred smiled for a second.
"Oh yeah. Those were the days where we had another Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher that also happened to be a coward." Fred said, still having the smile on his face.
"You're so right." Ellie replied.
Then she walked away.
He didn't realize this but he stole a glance for a second and his smile slowly faded.

"BRANDON where are you going?" Rosie asked.
They were all sitting in the common room. Ellie was asleep on Rosie's shoulder.
"Oh I'm going to meet up with someone." Brandon spoke.
Rosie just gave him a look.
"Well you should hurry." Rosie informed him. Brandon nodded and walked out.
Rosie looked at how peacefully Ellie was sleeping. She groaned and looked at Ellie again.
"Ellie." Rosie spoke.
Ellie quickly rose and looked up.
"What time is it?" Ellie asked, her voice raspy.
"Late. You should go to bed." Rosie exclaimed.
Ellie nodded. She quickly got up and headed towards the dorms.
When she walked in she saw Jane sitting on her bed.
"What are you doing?" Ellie asked.
Jane looked at her for a second. She noticed that she looked shocked for a moment.
"I- I think I like Micheal." Jane admitted.
Ellie sat next to her.
"Oh." Ellie spoke. "Is that a good thing?" Ellie asked.
Jane looked at Ellie for a moment.
"I don't know." Jane admitted.
Ellie just rubbed Jane's back.
"How long have you known?" Ellie asked.
"I guess since after potions." Jane responded.
"Are you going to tell him?" Ellie asked.
"No! Why would I do that?" Jane shot.
Ellie chuckled.
"Jane relax." Ellie spoke.
Jane just looked down and started playing with her fingers.
"The only way I would tell him is if he feels the same way." Jane advised.
Ellie just glared at her.
"Jane, stop acting like a baby!" Ellie shot.
Jane just gave her a look.
"That's easy for you to say. You've never liked anyone." Jane spoke with a chuckle.
Ellie just smiled at her.
"You're right." Ellie spoke. Then Ellie thought for a moment. "Remember when you got sorted?" Ellie questioned.
"Yeah, they said I could be a Gryffindor." Jane exclaimed.
"Then use what could've been that courage and ask him out." Ellie shot.
"There's a reason I'm a Ravenclaw Ellie." Jane spoke.
"I know." Ellie replied with a smile.
Jane smiled back.
"Thanks for sort of helping Ellie." Jane thanked her with a smile.
"You're welcome." Ellie replied.
Then Jane left to go to her own bed.
Ellie sighed for a moment then she closed her privacy curtains. She went under her covers. She was tired, but she couldn't fall asleep. She quickly grabbed a piece of parchment. She grabbed a quill and her wand.
"Lumos." She whispered. Then she started writing with her quill.
Chase,
You've been missing a lot since you're petrified so I decided to tell you what's been happening. Well me and Daphne found you when we were getting my book. Then nothing really happened much from that until Christmas. A student did fall asleep in one of Snape's classes though. But still I ended up meeting this guy. His name is Theo. Fred Weasley started teasing me saying he liked me. I just think he's being ridiculous. I also feel like Brandon's hiding something. I just don't know what. Also Jane told me big news that I probably shouldn't say.
With love,
Ellie
Ellie quickly waited for the ink to dry then she folded the letter in half. She looked under her bed and she found a box. She opened it and noticed it was empty. She placed the letter and then put the box back under her bed. She smiled for a moment because now Chase would know what he had been missing out on.

FRED woke up and heard George snoring. He looked at the clock and saw it was almost time that Oliver would usually force them to wake up. Fred got annoyed and saw the closet thing next to him which was his pillow. He quickly threw it at George and his brother groaned.
"What!" George groaned, in a raspy voice.
"We have quidditch practice soon mate." Fred advised, with the same morning voice.
George nodded and got up and started to grab his uniform. He noticed Fred laid back down on his bed.
"Freddie!" George shot.
"I'm up!" Fred shot. George rolled his eyes at his brother. Just then Oliver Wood barged in.
"There you two are. I'm shocked you're awake. Well enough chit chatting, we got practice to get too." Oliver explained.
Fred glared at Oliver and grabbed his quidditch uniform.
"Stupid Wood." Fred muttered.
"Oh stop being cranky." George shot.
Fred rubbed his eyes and then started to leave the dorms with George then all of a sudden Lee walked in.
"Where were you?" Fred asked.
"I had to go to the bathroom." Lee explained with a morning voice as well.
Then he quickly plopped on his bed and fell asleep.
George and Fred walked down and saw Angelina, Alicia and Katie standing waiting for everyone else.
"You two look a mess." Angelina spoke.
"Thanks Angelina." Fred spoke sarcastically. Angelina just gave him a smile.
"Wait, I look a mess. Fred why didn't you tell me!" George shot.
"We'll probably because I didn't look at your hair because I'm half asleep." Fred exclaimed.
George just slapped him.
"Ow." Fred groaned.
Fred then plopped onto a couch.
"Wake me up when everyone else is here." Fred demanded. George just stared at him.
Just then Oliver Wood walked down with Harry.
"Fred!" Oliver shot.
"I'm up." Fred groaned.
They all got up and started heading to the quidditch field. As they all got changed and walked outside Fred looked up and saw that the sky was very cloudy. He got a chill from the cold and looked at Oliver.
"Oliver it's cold can't we just cancel practice?" Fred asked.
"Cold is for the weak." Oliver shot. Fred just glared at him.
"Shoot me Georgie." Fred whispered.
"No!" George shot.
Fred just groaned and everyone else started practicing for quidditch. Fred started zoning out while playing.
It felt like days until practice was over. Then when practice was over him and George started heading towards the great hall.
"Why don't we just drop out now?" Fred queried, as they were walking.
"Because that's not the plan yet Freddie" George exclaimed.
When they sat in the great hall George was about to make Fred a plate but Fred stopped him.
"Don't I'm sleeping now." Fred shot. George just gave him a look.
"At least have a piece of my muffin." George exclaimed. George took a piece of it and passed it to Fred. He plopped it into his mouth and then put his head down on the table. He started to drift off to sleep when he heard a slam on the table.
He looked up and saw who it was.
"Ginny!" Fred shot.
"Fred." Ginny replied.
"Why'd you wake me?" Fred asked.
"Because George told me too." Ginny replied. Fred glared at George.
"What. We only have five minutes until breakfast ends." George explained. Fred just rolled his eyes and grabbed a muffin.
"Happy now?" Fred asked.
"Yes." George replied.
Fred just rolled his eyes and took a bite out of his muffin. He looked over and saw Ellie talking to the Luna Lovegood girl. He smiled for a moment then he continued to eat his muffin and started to have a conversation with George.
