Detention

The rest of the journey went smoothly until they arrived at the castle. The usual crowd of students were dismounting their hippogriffs as they silently glided down to the ground.

"Miss Florence, Richards and Delacour! Where in Merlin's name have you been?!" Shouted Professor Verlot, glaring at all of them.

The first couple of weeks passed quickly and in no time the next quidditch match between Bellefuille and Papillonlisse came upon them. Papillonlisse won their first match of the season, leaving Esme forcing Gabrielle to train with her for more and more hours a day.

Esme had just managed to turn the desks into donkeys and had joined the school choir while Annalise was two years ahead of everyone else in their Chiromancie lessons. The three were definitely the brightest witches of their year. The rest of the year went perfectly, that was of course until a student was poisoned...
