 Arithmancy class Post 5 - Team besties Fluttery Pegasi
"Wheeeeee!" Haddie slid down the final banister, letting the curve at the launch her a foot, and landed feet firmly on the first floor. She turned and waited for her best friend to huff and puff her way down the rest of the steps. Sure, going from the 7th floor to the first, or the ground floor was annoying sometimes, but it never seemed to bother Haddie as much as the others. Maybe because Haddie was three scoops of energy packed in a one scoop container...
The whole way down, she had been trying to cheer her best friend up. Did she think they would be able to change her Dad's mind on this? No. Did she hope they could? Absolutely. But she couldn't just mope about it. Which is why she never wanted to say anything in the first place. Stupid big mouth of hers.
Haddie waited for Rachel to catch her breath. "Do you really think I'm gonna just nod obediently on this?" she asked, raising her eyebrows. "There hasn't been a single rule of my Dad's I haven't not listened to. Not going to start now." Even if she had to sneak out and onto the Hogwarts Express, she was going to try to make it back to Hogwarts. Though realistically, she knew... "So now can we please start enjoying the last few months before summer." She didn't need to finish with what they were both thinking. Because they may be her last few months at Hogwarts for good. "And hey, look on the bright side. You won't have to choose between your boyfriend and best friend..." Never know when to shut your mouth, do you Haddie?
"Okay,"Haddie said, changing the subject quickly. "The first one was by the tapestry, and the second by the painting, so it's probably by one of the portraits." The portraits that just about line the whole of the first floor, no biggie. "So let's find this thing."
