Hermione was acting strangely. She and Ron hardly spoke, and even Harry seemed upset with the redhead. However, Cassiopeia didn't have much time to worry about the Gryffindor trio's drama. Her days were busy trying to fix the goddammit Vanishing Cabinet.

The cabinet was connected to a pair at Borgin & Burkes shop.

Apparently, several such cabinets were used in the first war for people to escape from Death Eaters.

Ironically, it would now be used to bring them into Hogwarts.

However, Peeves, the crazy ghost, had damaged the cursed thing. Cassi and Draco spent hours running tests to fix it.

"Trying to become a Malfoy?" She teased playfully.

"No, actually, I think you're the one trying to become a Malfoy," Harry grumbled irritably.

Cassi immediately stopped laughing and wrinkled her nose in disgust.
