Finally other people were starting to show up, but it didn't help her much because it wasn't anybody that she knew. A few people looked familiar but not familiar enough to talk to. AJ wasn't really in the mood to hold a conversation anyways.

Was it just her or was Adi acting like he didn't expect her to acknowledge him? Was this weirdness going to wear off anytime soon? AJ caught his wave but instead of smiling or showing any emotion she looked down at her book and flipped the pages pretending to be enraptured in the story.

Thankfully the history of magic professor walked in and AJ turned her attention on the woman. "Hello professor." She was still AJ's favorite all because she showed her that awesome spell. FOOD! Abandoning her beanbag, she walked over to the table and grabbed some cocoa that felt so good in her hand. She also snagged some food.

Just as she was about to take a sip of her cocoa the room lit up so bright that her eyes hurt. The first year was completely caught off guard and her cocoa slipped right out of her hands, and landed in her lap. "Ouch!" It was still pipping hot and it burned her. She was soaked in hot cocoa and wishing that she had never come to this meeting in the first place.

Wait a minute... was that a shadow?
