Isobel was on her way to play some soccer when she saw a commotion at the front gate. She started walking over there, then saw people run toward the Whomping Willow. And that was why she was there now. She walked over to a group of people just in time to hear some people, dressed in muggle clothes, saying they should touch it. Well, the girl was daring the boy to touch it. She assumed that they were two students they didn't know, and the girl was daring the stupid boy to touch it. She hoped he wasn't that stupid.

"Why would you want to touch it?" There was a note of scorn in her voice that she tried to hide by coughing after her sentence.
