The supervision of classes had not been as exciting as Lynnea had hoped. Professor Flitwick had, of course, treated Umbridge like a guest, and she had just sat in the corner for most of the class. 

When they had started trying out the spells she had walked around and then asked Owen a few questions about what classes were like. Nothing exciting really, Professor Flitwick's classes were good and steady, they were calm.

Luckily the Ravenclaws did not have another Defense Against the Dark arts class before Wednesday, which meant that Tuesday went with most of the talks still revolving around who should paint the star on the ceiling in the common room.

"You know I'd be able to do it justice," Monica one of her roommates tried.

"So would I! and I'm her good friend." Owen shot up from the other side of the table.

"You only paint with plant fluids and natural colour or whatever, that won't go with the rest of the ceiling!" Monica protested, she was a remarkable artistic herself but usually, it was directed towards her music.

"Can't you shut up about it!" Lynnea groaned, she was more than just tired of this conversation. Nova had been the one to discover the star, so who was going to paint it was far from as important.

"Why don't you ask Lovegood if she wants to do it? She's an amazing painter." Monica huffed at this proposition.

"What Loony? She'll probably paint it with a toothy mouth or something," She laughed and looked towards Luna who was sitting over by the bookshelves.

"Don't call her that!" Lynnea hissed in return, she herself had grown fond of the dreamy girl. She was a Ravenclaw through and through.

"I think Luna would be a good choice," Nova hurriedly said, probably happy with not having to choose between two of her friends and hoping Lynnea would defend her decision.

"Then it's settled!" Roger gladly exclaimed.

"Now can we start practising this spell? I need to get a proper grade this year," He continued and started trying to transfigure his arm into a large crab claw. 

Lynnea had to practice as well, her transfiguration exam had been moved forward a week because of Umbridge. Apparently, they were scared that Umbridge would try and stop her from finishing one of her N.E.W.T classes early.


At dinner, Lynnea found out that Harry had gotten another week's worth of detention with Umbridge which made her more than just angry. 

The woman still made sure that Lynnea's detentions were after Harry's but what worried her was that Harry did not come to her so she could take the detention for him. 

"Hermione, are you sure you told everyone?" Lynnea tried once again as she slouched down on the bench by the Gryffindor table in The Great Hall.

"Yes, I told everyone!" The bushy-haired girl answered.

"He's a dumbass then!" Lynnea huffed before shovelling roasted potatoes onto her plate.

"He's too prideful," Hermione huffed back, she seemed just as annoyed at Harry.

"What are you two bickering about?" Lee asked while sitting down next to her while Fred sat down on the other side.

"Harry got another week's worth of detention," Lynnea said and the hand Fred had on her thigh tensed up.
