::Erica listened to Professor Bree with great intensity, as if she in class and didn't want to miss a word. She then heard a knock on the door and turned to see a Ravenclaw student enter the line forming at the door. She thought about what the professor said in getting the word out and figured it would be okay if everyone heard this at the same time. It would at least spare the professor from answering the same questions over and over again.::

"Um...I wouldn't mind letting the other students at the door in to hear what you have to say about this matter. I wouldn't be surprised if they were all here to ask the same things. Of course, it's your decision."

::Erica turned back in her seat to face Professor Bree. She pondered the rest of the professor's comments. She totally agreed with what the professor thought about barging into the school and tearing Hogwarts apart. It was completely sickening to see happen.

She thought about the potion that the professor was talking about. She had only heard fragments about it. She knew that in was in a valuable book and this book was stored in the school. She didn't know about the professors coming back to life part, though. That would possibly explain why some of the professors were looking kind of sickly and were uncoordinated.

And finally, Erica thought about the Ministry "improvements" to the school. She hated seeing it happen. Her patience and faith in the Ministry was gone completely. And the fact that they were bringing in more made her disgusted with them.::

"Yeah, I kind of know what you mean. I ran into one of them having a confrontation with another student right in front of the Headmaster's office. I think her name was Miss Shwame. I swear, that one was evil. She was so cold and unresponsive to anyone who wanted to make a good impression. She doesn't look like she's here for the teaching. I think something else is up."
