Laura had gone for a walk up-to a part of the castle that she didn't normally go to, she was still upset and wanted to find somewhere quiet for her to read the letter that DJ had sent her, she couldn't believe he wasn't coming back, after all they had loads of fun last term when her and Susan had dressed DJ as a girl ghost to try and get Peeves to fall in live with him.
Laura took out a book that had pictures of her time in the school, she looked at herself as a firstie and then looked at herself last year, she was used to being mischievous but now it was time to grow up in December she would be 16 and that meant setting an example for the younger students and that was what she was going to do.
Laura read the letter for the third time and tears came down her face, as she thought about the fact that he was over in America and she was over here in England, how was they going to have fun, well no DJ meant no pranks, she didn't want to do anything that reminded her of him.
