Why did she have to be friends with the Gryffindor prefect? She was totally going to scoff Potions class when Anna had found her hiding in her room. So much for reading for the next hour! Sam was not brilliant with potions, one of the great reasons for skipping it. But she knew if she was not in this chair by the time class ends, the prefect was going to eat her alive.

The fifth year pushed open the door to the potions room and spotted the Gryffindor already there. She snorted. Knowing Anna, she was probably the first one there. Swallowing her irratation with the girl, Sam walked over and took the empty stool next to her.

"I'm here, so call off the aurors now." she said, trying to hold in a smile. She set her bookbag down onto the ground and placed her wand into her pocket. Wonder what Professor Bontecou had in store for them.
