They were walking back from Care of Magical Creatures class, and Samira was unusually quiet. Nika stopped talking about the interesting lesson and turned to Samira. “Are you okay?”

Nika stopped her friend by laying a hand on her shoulder. “I’m really sorry,” she whispered. From that moment on Nika hated Threstrals.
