41. Thestrals:
Niamh couldn’t see them; didn’t expect to see them; didn’t want to see them. It was all a huge misunderstanding. She’d been heading down to Herbology, got lost, and ended up in a Care of Magical Creatures class on thestrals with a bunch of Fifth Years. It didn’t matter what she said, the Professor didn’t believe her and wouldn’t let her go. “I’m not even taking Care of Magical Creatures!” She hissed at the ground. “And now I’ll be in trouble over missing Herbology.” No one’s going to believe me if I try to explain, she thought angrily. Oh, bats.
