Beth just looked at Quinn when she still didn’t believe her…not even when she used that salt line on her, oh blunderbusses…did? Did they need to come up with iron clad unbreakable rules? Was that now a thing? Clearly, for Beth’s sake there would be a salt related rule – and one about not sneaking up…among many of the others that is.

The look Quinn gave her just put a smile on Beth’s face. Of course Octopus had hugged him, she would have loved having a friend with her in the throes of the Hufflepuff commons. Quinn, that girl knew how to make Beth smile, playing along with her singing was just one of those ways. ”I can be your alibi – heck, we both will…its more convincing if you have two people – ooooooh wait, I’ll do one better!” Beth squealed happily, ”I’ll find a way to destroy all the stores of Veritaserum in this school and replace it with water…it looks and smells the same” she grinned, after all she had read about it in the library…and she’d heard talk of it throughout the years.

”thanks Reese…I’m nothing though, without Quinn’s violin skills” she smiled and sat back down watching her friend play in such a way that made her own heart ache for what she had been through.
